I always thought marketing in general was an interesting kind of thing. I always liked commercials and billboards.

Some people even think I wear a wig. Do they think I went into a salon one day and said, Can you please screw this up really bad?

I think it's important for me, for my crew and for the audience to bring something new to each show. I have friends who have done the same act, word for word for word, for 20 years. I have a problem with that. I think the audience should see something new in each show.

When I told my friends I was going to be a comedian, they laughed at me.

I love to shop, especially in retro stores. I have about a million pairs of old-school sports shoes like Adidas, so that's probably my biggest vice.

I don't want to be known just as 'Carrot Top.' I don't always want to be this crazy, goofy guy.

My real name is Scott Thompson. I could have gone by that name, but when I started doing comedy I thought I needed to go by something that has a little more of a hook.
