I think it's the fact that I do something different and that I actually have some success with it. That bothers a lot of people... especially comics.

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.

The blessing is that everyone knows who I am because of the commercials.

My way of fitting in was through jokes and making people laugh.

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

I think, over the years, I've kind of evolved.

I've experienced plenty of times when something I think is funny doesn't do very well. And there are times when something I don't think is funny makes the audience laugh so hard.
