Answer 4

Jeff Dunham - puppet's name is peanut (actually, green hair)

(from wikipedia)
Peanut is a purple woozle with a small tuft of green hair on his head (which, according to Dunham, are Ostrich feathers), and only one shoe. Unlike most of Jeff Dunham's puppets, his eyes and eyebrows are immobile. This allows for a greater range of motion for his head. Peanut also has a rod attached to his left elbow which Jeff operates to further the range of the puppet's movement.

According to his fictional biography, Peanut was born on an island in Micronesia in the Pacific Ocean near Guam and has five siblings (Eeny, Meeny, Miny, and Fred). He never finished school. He moved to the United States in 1986. According to the official website, he met Jeff Dunham in central Texas, but according to Arguing With Myself, they met in Florida.

There is a special feature on the DVD showing Jeff Dunham's pet chihuahua humping a doll of the puppet. There is also an outtake where Peanut's green tuft of hair accidentally came out. Noticing a member of the audience who is also bald, Jeff hops offstage with Peanut and has Peanut hug the man and rub his head. On the DVD, Walter had said that Peanut should have said jokingly 'I feel your pain.' Then Jeff walks back up to the stage, having Peanut ask a member of the audience to borrow their chair. When Jeff picks up Peanut's hair, Peanut asks the man if he would like to buy it. Then Jeff attempts to put it back on, but Peanut starts to complain that it hurts and says 'this sucks'. On Jeff's second attempt he gets it on, showing that Peanut has a hole in his head where the stick that's attached to his hair goes.

One of Peanut's trademarks is when he swings his hand over his head and says "Neeow!", talking about a joke going over someone's head.

Peanut has developed his own form of martial arts called "Peanut Fu." When asked why "Peanut Fu" and not "Kung Fu," he replies "Well, to use Kung Fu you need to use both arms and this [right] arm is kinda ****** up." He pronounces Santa Ana Sa-na-ta-a-na, and when he heard it was full of history he said "Translated: Old *** ****!"
