First and latest

Did you know?!

A first
Dunham has attended nearly every ConVENTion since 1977, missing just one. Its organizers named him a "retired champion," so he could not enter competitions again, since other attendees felt too intimidated to face him.
First role
In 1976, while still prepubescent, Dunham made his television debut after Dallas reporters such as Bill O'Reilly noticed him and interviewed him for a local news story.
Big break
On April 6, 1990, Dunham performed with Peanut on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, where Bob Hope and B.B. King were also guests. Carson then asked him to join him on the couch, a sign of approval on that show.
A role that slipped away
In 2003, Dunham was the leading candidate to take over Jimmy Kimmel's spot on Fox NFL Sunday, but hosts Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw did not want a puppet upstaging them, and Dunham says they made him feel unwelcome and let him speak little.
A first
During his Spark of Insanity international tour, Dunham sold 1,981,720 tickets across 386 venues worldwide between September 2007 and August 2010, earning the Guinness Book of World Records mark for "Most tickets sold for a stand-up comedy tour."
A first
Dunham's Very Special Christmas Special was recorded at Milwaukee's Pabst Theater. It first aired on Comedy Central on November 16, 2008, and 6.6 million people watched, making it the network's highest rated telecast ever.
