"NBC has been very good to me over the years," said Dunham, "and it's a true honor to have a special on the network. Walter, (Dunham's curmudgeonly old man character) said he's looking forward to performing again in the showbiz/divorce capital of the world."

He has used his ability to create unforgettable characters, such as the cranky and elderly Walter, as well as the sometimes-banned Achmed the Dead Terrorist, to become one of the world's top-grossing comedians. His massive following has registered record-breaking television ratings, more than 7 million DVDs sold, more than 1 billion YouTube views, and arena-sized live shows on five continents �-- from Reykjavik to Johannesburg to Abu Dhabi.
