The way Carrot Top told that story about Gene Simmons was brilliant. He told it in such a way that it leads you on to think its true as well.

[@BrianBoruish]

Ha! Nice

[@jomar6940]

im honestly surprised. what a total change. hes a talented story teller, and very nuanced. And probably has been this entire time, though like Joe and Carrot agreed on, his appearance before was too distracting. Seems like a reasonable fellow too. I wish him success.

I worked in the entertainment industry all my life and I loved working on Carrot top's show when he toured into town. I remember him coming to the crew as we were almost done loading the show out to personally thank us, few do that. Such a down to earth nice guy, he looked much more like a kid back then, natural with a mop of red hair and freckles.

I saw Carrot Top a decade ago in Vegas as part of some package of tickets that the casinos were trying to time share people into. Went in not expecting much and spent virtually the whole time crying from laughing. He's a funny dude and the prop thing was only a small portion of his act at that time. Fully recommended.

[@LaffinKing]

Saw his show a few years ago. Very entertaining. Leaves you wanting more. He also poured shots for a few people in the crowd during the show.

[@greekguy7422]

Same experience here, went in thinking it was probably gonna be lame and couldn’t stop laughing the whole show

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

Same it was a great surprise, he is totally undersold. He needs better marketing. His show is one of the best in Vegas and I've seen many spending thousands. I went twice and he actually changed it too, to current events which gave me even more respect for him.

I met "Carrot Top" once in Vegas. The first thing he did was hold out his hand and introduce himself as Scott. Very nice and easy going guy.

[@professormancaptain4210]

What? He did the same thing to me, but with "Greg."

[@ThrivingInLife]

I met him in Seattle. When he was Jacked. Very nice guy! He said his name was "Carrot Top". I said "I know that, but what is your actual name." ... "Awesome. Nice to meet you Scott." Then we chatted for a bit drinking beers while other duffeses tried to give him Joke ideas. Then I had to pardon myself from the conversation to watch my gal at the time sing Rock Kareokee. Then later that night, he got up on stage and did Guns and Roses like I've never heard before. This dude can also sing!

She moves up up front corner seats and we were able to fist bump him and take Jack Daniels shots with him when he was doing shots for the crowd.

Edit: I forgot to mention when he walked around the crowd he tickled my brothers beard who is also a Ginger. lol

lol, I've been to his show twice since I liked it so much and I honestly would go a third. He adds new stuff and it's just really fun and funny. It's crazy how absolute garbage so many shows on Vegas are like jabawakies, blue man group, few of the cirque de sole. Terry Fator Christmas show was good but his regular show was so garbage.

@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep I saw blue man group 20yrs ago and thought it was awesome

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

@@nelsondln They significantly cut the budget of shows and even move them to smaller venues after popularity has gone down. But keep them because they are a easy cash cow bringing in people based on previous notoriety. It's almost essentially a scam. I have found this out through experience. The one you saw and I saw may as well be completely different shows I assume. Jabawakies was the worst show I've seen in my life, it was moved to a tiny venue on a extremely tiny stage, they did some dancing but no group moves whatsoever and virtually no special effects whatsoever. It was soooo bad. These places they also have fake audience members clapping and shouting like crazy. People were so bad in the jabawakies show yelling what is this shit and some walked out, we got ours for free from comps otherwise we'd have asked for our money back and certainly would never pay for such garbage all while these idiots were hooting and hollering and clapping like it's the best thing they've ever seen. The other pretty good shows I liked besides carrot top were vegas the show when it came out, and cirque de sole beatles. I went to that one three times. O was pretty good too.

I saw Carrot Top in Las Vegas in 1996, when he headlined at the MGM (IIRC). It was so long ago, he was doing his Beavis & Butthead impression as part of the show. He killed the audience, and I remember my stomach hurting the next day on the flight home from laughing so hard. Over 25 years in the business and still headlining; well done, Scott!

I met Scott Thompson “Carrot Top” back in the 90’s while I was living in Vegas. Super nice guy, incredibly funny- always enjoyed talking with him.

[@justinduncan1672]

I met him to in like 08. I was working for the carpenters local in Las Vegas on the Trump tower on the strip and my room mate whom also worked with said he had a side job at his buddy Scott's house! Which I didn't his name was Scott. So I go help him with this job hanging an antique door he bought for like 30 grand or some crazy shit. So we do this job and no one was home except these 2 super hot playmate types and I'm saying to my buddy Frank who brought me in on this what's this guy do because it was a really nice house in a gated community and then the gate opens and a tricked out yellow hummer comes up in the driveway and out jumps carrot top aka Scott all jacked up and I was like wtf! Lol I look at my buddy like are we being punked! Lol then I met him and we all drank beers and had a good time. He was a super cool dude. I wonder if he even remembers that?

Carrot Top in 5 minutes of impromptu conversation had me rolling more than many comedians do when they're on stage!

[@michaeljordan5372]

I acted in a movie with Carrot Top back in 2010 for CBS filming in Las Vegas. I remember telling him while hanging out together I still remembered when he was 1st starting out way back in the 1980's when he was really young & skinny looking like a high school kid when he was unknown just starting out making a TV appearance on the Regis Philbin show (long prior to joining Kathy Lee Gifford) in the 1980's. He was impressed I remembered his early beginnings. In fact...we both started in entertainment around the same time. Indeed by the time we worked together over 12yrs ago he was really massive after having gotten into bodybuilding. Friends of mine in Vegas told me all the time they saw him in the gym constantly. I do think he looks better slimmed down some. Always loved his very unique approach to comedy based solely on props...sort of the "Bob Hope" of 1 liners where the prop i as the punchline. Definitely a very unique character who has probably long outlived most people's expectations as a comedian. I've got to hand it to him for sustaining such a long career where comedians come & go in a blink of am eye with only a handful maintaining name recognition decades later. Very interesting guy!

[@geraltofrivia3344]

@@brianjay9811 I think prolly it’s because it’s hard enough to become a professional comic where you can pay your bills doing it. So most comics are just grateful for the chance to be working. Whereas someone like a famous actor would, I imagine, get burned out and filled with anxiety/depression constantly being under the public’s eye.

[@johnbull1568]

@@geraltofrivia3344 There's probably also the buzz of engaging with a live audience, which can be exhilarating.

[@tusccountyjiujitsu]

I actually met Carrot Top in 1995 in the Airport in Atlanta, GA, when I was on my way to Basic Training. He was walking through all by himself and not a lot of people even noticed him but I did because I had seen a show of his on TV and thought he was hilarious. He was a nice dude but exactly like he was in this interview, he tried to convince me it wasn't him but I knew it was. He eventually admitted it was him and that he was there to attend a Planet Hollywood thing.
