Comedy Central has decided not to renew The Jeff Dunham Show – despite solid debut ratings, the show’s viewership dwindled during the first season.

Comedy Central canceled the Jeff Dunham Show, whose debut drew 5.3 million viewers; ratings dropped to less than two million viewers in subsequent episodes.

A Comedy Central spokesperson assures Dunham fans that he’ll be back, saying that the network will continue “to be in business with Jeff in a big way,” with a deal to include a live tour, standup special and DVDs.
