American Bank Center Arena
American Bank Center Arena is proud to announce stand-up
comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham will be performing on Friday, October 17
at 8PM. Dunham has sold out thousands of theaters and comedy clubs and has
gained a loyal following from his countless television guest spots including
Tonight Show appearances with both Jay Leno and Johnny Carson and two top-rated
specials on Comedy Central.
Anyone who has experienced an evening with Jeff Dunham knows
that the real stars of the show are his partners in comedy, and it's the humor
and the believability of his characters, Peanut, Walter and Jose Jalapeno... on
a STEEK! that audiences everywhere embrace. Dunham was recently voted "Funniest
Male Stand-up Comic" at the American Comedy Awards, an honor shared with the
likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Foxworthy, and Robin Williams.
We'd like to thank all of the fantastic young women who attended our interviews this evening...you all were great! We were impressed with everyone, and it certainly does not reflect poorly on any of you, if you weren't chosen. It's always a difficult decision for us when we have so many quality individuals trying out for a limited number of available spots, and we want to thank all of you for showing the interest in joining us. We hope to stay in touch with each and every one of you!
The new Crush Girls are as follows:
Desiree Paree
Brittany Rodriguez

Congratulations! Again, our sincerest thanks to everyone!
