The world’s most popular ventriloquist, Jeff Dunham, will settle in for a six-month residency at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino starting Nov. 28.

It’s even bolder than his previous move, releasing a single, “Gibberish Rap,” and bringing out a wild crew of supporting dancers. And it’s so crazy funny that Amy Schumer followed suit, literally.
