Huntley boy's ventriloquist act leads to meeting idol Jeff Dunham (VIDEO)

Noah Simmons has quite a story to tell about how he spent his summer vacation. And he tells it best holding a puppet.

The 12-year-old Huntley boy, a ventriloquist who calls himself “The Next Jeff Dunham” on his YouTube channel, actually met his idol in July.

Dunham, a popular ventriloquist and stand-up comedian, saw Noah’s videos, surprised him with a visit and invited him to travel on his tour bus to a show.
