In March 2009, Dunham signed a multi-platform deal with Comedy Central.
It included a fourth stand-up special to air in 2010, DVDs, a consumer products partnership, a 60-city tour beginning in September 2010, and an order for a television series called The Jeff Dunham Show that premiered on October 22, 2009.
Despite having the most-watched premiere in Comedy Central history, and higher average ratings than other shows on that network initially, the show was canceled after only one season, amid poor reviews, dwindling ratings and higher production costs than other Comedy Central shows.

Dunham appeared in a guest role with Bubba J on NBC's sitcom 30 Rock, playing a ventriloquist named Rick Wayne and his dummy Pumpkin from Stone Mountain, Georgia.
In November 2009 Dunham also appeared with Walter in "Hart to Hart", an episode of the Disney Channel series Sonny With a Chance, as two security guards.
He appeared in the 2010 Steve Carell/Paul Rudd comedy, Dinner for Schmucks, as Lewis, with a new puppet named Diane.

His fourth special, Jeff Dunham: Controlled Chaos, premiered on September 25, 2011, on Comedy Central.
His fifth special, Minding the Monsters, which was taped in Savannah, premiered on Comedy Central on October 7, 2012.
His sixth special, All Over the Map, which was taped in various international cities, premiered on Comedy Central on November 16, 2014.

On March 28, 2014, Country Music Television premiered Achmed Saves America, an animated film starring Achmed the Dead Terrorist.

Dunham's seventh special, Unhinged in Hollywood, premiered on September 17, 2015.
Rather than premiering on Comedy Central, the special instead aired on NBC.
