Why did Comedy Central cancel The Jeff Dunham Show?

You don't usually see the #1 cable debut get canceled in its first season, but that's what has happened to The Jeff Dunham Show.Comedy Central says that they have decided not to renew the comedy show featuring puppets. The comic will, however, still have a new comedy special on the network sometime next year.
Now, obviously, there are other things going on here that we as viewers will probably never be privy to. But still, when you have a new weekly show (as well as a couple of specials) that do so well in the ratings (even if the audience did drop a bit later in the season), it's odd that you cancel it. I'd love to hear what really happened.
