Comedian Jeff Dunham and his puppet Walter hang out with Sterling Knight, Doug Brochu and Brandon Smith on set of Sonny With A Chance.
JustJaredJr.com caught up with Doug, 19, about Jeff’s upcoming appearance on the show and he dished to us about the episode, working with Jeff and his favorite sketch. Check it:
On the episode “Hart To Hart”: “Nico (Smith) and I are trying to use Chad Dylan Cooper’s (Knight) toilet. It’s this super-amazing toilet with all of these things that we have to know about. So, Chad hires a security guard — Jeff and Walter — to guard his toilet. It’s all about us trying to sneak past them to see the toilet, which we heard is amazing. We didn’t get to see it, it’s an off-screen shot in the episode. We heard that it has a bowling alley and everything in it.”
On working with comedian Jeff Dunham: “Working with him on set was great. He’s one of most laid-back people that I know. He would just come in and all of us there would be like ‘Oh my gosh, it’s Jeff Dunham. The one with the monkey and…’ and he’d be like ‘Hey guys, I’m Jeff Dunham. I’m here.’ It’s interesting that he comes up with all these crazy characters and he’s just this laid-back, almost surfer-esque dude.”
On his favorite Jeff Dunham sketches: “One of my favorites is the Blue Prius sketch.”
On his favorite puppet of Jeff’s: “The first time I watched Jeff, he was with the crazy monkey Peanut. I remember watching it and thinking, ‘This is hilarious. Why aren’t there more ventriloquist comedian’s? This is amazing.’ I didn’t even make the connection it was Jeff at that time. Peanut is probably my favorite because it was my first time seeing him. Although, I do have a soft spot for Melvin the Super Hero.”
On his dream puppet for Jeff: “I would love to see him have a pirate or a ninja. That would be cool. They could fight back and forth and it would be this epic saga between them. It could even be an entire episode of his show.”
“Hart To Hart” premieres SUNDAY, November 1 @ 8:30PM ET/PT on Disney Channel.
