I was never a carrot top fan and my Wife had never heard of him. We got free tickets in Vegas so we went. Our faces and sides were aching from laughing. He was amazing. He knows how to work the crowd and amp it up just the right way. He’s a true showman. If you’ve seen him on TV or bits in TH-cam or whatever it doesn’t matter. Do yourself a favor and go to his show. You will not be disappointed!
At the Luxor, same here lol. Our friends were staying at the Luxor and we were at NY NY, they got tix for the show and we didn't really want to go, so they bought us the tix, but we still didn't want to go and out of respect we went with them. After the show, we gave them money for the tix because it was worth every penny, he was awesome!
This man is a f*cking warrior, everybody trashing on you for decades is one hell of a burden to take. I admire him for not hiding out, just kept doing his thing and entertaining people.
@@rukus9585 I still don't get what the deal was with Dane. All I remember is that everyone loved him and he was like on top in stand up, then he just dissapeared
@@grimly105 well I'm curious because even though I wasn't a huge fan, and I never saw him live, I never truly understood why everyone, other comics and comedy fans were just shitting on him for years. Calling him a hack, an idiot, etc. Then I saw the video on YMH where he described in detail how his own brother embezzled millions from him, and for once, the comments were positive.
I’m on my 5th carrot top video and I’m starting to really like this guy. He really did get bullied his whole career and is still hanging in there. If there’s ever going to be an advocate for victims of bullying, it will be carrot top. I can only imagine how strong he is mentally at this point in his life. If he was ever put into war he’d be the guy you’d want in your platoon. He would have mad skills to think of ways too fool the enemy and he’d be so loyal to those who had his back.
Years ago in my early 20's I was a dining hall cook at a local university and they hired Carrot Top to perform for the students. I was selected to cook lunch for he and his crew. Nicest guy you would ever meet, came out and thanked me personally for cooking and spent quite a bit of time chatting individually. I was also a member of our local gym and went to work out afterwards as I always did. This was before he got ripped but turns out he was there working out in between getting interviewed by the local newspaper. He remembered me and came over to say hi and work out a few sets together. Always had 100% respect from him after that day. Never understood the hate.
People covet others for one's own deficiencies . I catch myself with this shortcoming occasionally. It's okay if I recognize it and correct it too the best of my ability at that specific time. Easy-peazy!
He’s actually not a terrible comedian. His props can get old but when he tells stories and actual jokes it’s pretty great. He’s definitely 100x better than any female comedians out there lmfao. That’s for sure.
@@Jesusluvz bro same here, watched bill hicks and carling decades ago and his peers always made fun of him, so I never game him a shot thinking he was a clown. But actually watching all the Leno acts on youtube, the guy was waaaay before his time and had me crying. There was a reason he got HELLA famous in an instant, his talent. The reason he got so much hate was partly because of his looks, his style, his energy which seemed dorky but fun and it was easy to make him a target to bully within the comedian circle. But the fact is people LOVED him, for good reasons.
His Vegas show is unbelievably funny. We were skeptical the first time we saw him but quickly changed our minds. Seen him several times and would happily see him again
Nicest celeb I’ve ever met. We ran into him in public, he was by himself, we talked to him for probably about 10 minutes, took a photo and went on our way. He saw us later that day and stopped by on his scooter to show it to us as we were walking. I’ll never say a bad word about him again, such a nice person.
I’ve met Carrot Top several times at the gym several times in Florida. He’s the most down to Earth dude, pleasant and will always have a quick conversation if you engage him. Genuine good dude.
Saw Carrot Top years ago in Vegas. Had a great time. As he’s joked himself, I was surprised how much I enjoyed his show. A great comic who has stood the test of time. Hope he keeps doing what he’s doing.
Saw him in Vegas last month and it was the highlight of our west coast trip. He is absolutely hysterical..... died laughing and he has a stand up style like no one else. Literally tears rolling down my face from laughing. You can tell he truly has a blast up there too. awesome!
That moment you realize he's a totally level headed guy who was just on the hustle and didn't care what people were saying. Good on em. That's how you do it.
Norm Macdonald would always throw subtle jabs at Carrottop. When Norm passed away Carrottop said some sweet things about him, it’s super cool to see he can take a joke himself. You’ve got my respect
Norm has spoke about this before and talked with Carrot Top. Norm liked him and never meant any malice. Thats just Norm being Norm...no one and nothing is safe.
I met him in Vegas back in 2009. Super humble. An absolute doll. I have seen him at least 15 times. His shows are non-stop laughter - which this world could use more of. 🥕🎩❤️
I always despised how much negativity I heard from people about Carrot Top. I was walking through the Luxor about 1 or 2am, and I saw Carrot Top walking out, and I said to him "Hey Carrot Top!" he stopped and looked my way and I continued "I am a huge fan! I've seen your show here in Vegas 3 times!" and said 'Thanks man!" and went on his way. I felt compelled to tell him I am a big fan and throw some much deserved positivity his way. As much as I wanted an autograph or a selfie, I left it at that because I didn't want him to think I wanted anything from him. I can't wait to see him live again!
absolute legend. you could tell in the 90's he was really putting himself out there and trying his best. Always loathed how much people hated on carrot top
Its amazing the love and respect Carrot Top is getting in these comments, and the positive stories so many people have of him. Hope the guy sees some of this.

I was in Vegas for the first time ever and our friends had tickets for Carrot Top. My wife and I were discussing whether to go. I said "isn't he obnoxious?" She said "he's been here for 12 years. It can't be that bad." I went and LOVED IT. I've since gone to his show every time I go to Vegas. For my 40th birthday I did the meet and greet for my 5th time seeing him. He was so cool. We were there just before Covid and my pics were his most recent pics on Facebook for almost a year.
I saw him in like 2003 at the MGM. The Dude did like 2 hours and 40 minutes- no intermission, just straight joke after joke. He was hilarious and I've never understood why he took so much flak. I say this as a former stand up. Legit funny af
Can confirm, I lived in Winter Park from 2007-2010 and had several sightings of Sir Carrot but never had the balls to talk to him. I always assumed he either lived in the city or was a secret Full Sail employee
Its all about his live show. If you get the chance. Check it out. Ive seen around 80 comedy shows. Carrot top is absolutely my favorite. The crowd roars the entire time with laughter its great!
One of the first comedians I remember seeing on Late Shows growing up. Always thought he was so interesting and unique. Loved this interview. Go Carrot Top!
When he was young and doing his first bits up on stage, I laughed and loved his comedy. The reason I bring it up is cause I loved his reactions to the crowd when they really enjoyed it (he was so nervous and unsure). I think Carrot Top is a genuinely kind and caring person and in my book that makes him a stand up dude! Keep it up!
It’s interesting to watch CT’ body language. He takes a lot of the criticism to heart. Props to him for keeping it all in perspective (no pun intended) and not letting it ruin him.
Idk, to me that’s a compliment. People shit on nickelback constantly but they have so many genuinely great songs. You can’t listen to burn it to the ground and not enjoy it haha
@@agitatedaligator5340 Yeah. I guarantee if you played a bunch of nickelback songs without telling anyone it was Nickleback, then they would like them. Especially some of the older ones.
@@agitatedaligator5340 it was a lot to do with a generation of kids who loved to hate anything mainstream/popular/successful. Mix in the elitism of the rock/metal scene. And I think the rise of social media had a large part of it too, hivemind thinking is a big aspect of it
I have never seen Carrot Top not be anything other than laugh out loud hilarious. He is a comic - in the true sense of the word - genius. "He speaks Comic" as a good comedian would say
As a red head I saw him once while I was working and casually said “there goes the reason for all my carrot top insults” and he just says “yeah I’m really sorry about that”. My co workers and I all cracked up as I was more saying it to them but he responded genuinely. Real down to earth dude. It was great.
@@EmperorsNewWardrobe Umm that’s an odd way to look at it. I don’t think he’s doing it to purposely clown on red heads. He’s just having fun with what he’s got. It’s the other people that tried to turn it into an insult.
@@zachariahyager3115 red heads are already an open target, and he must have been aware of that. To then use a derogatory term as an attention-grabbing clown name is to also give fuel to the closet-racists. Why is that odd?
Was???? I went down a carrot rabbit hole about a yr ago. Couldnt stop watching them. I think i legit watched every video he was in tht was uploaded. No joke.
Yea, hate to say it but Rogans humor never clicked for me... I havent thought it through as to why, maybe he tries to hard? Whereas carrot top flows...
@@mcm4981 I'm finally starting to get Joe's humor. The post he made about cooking meat over a fire the other day is actually comedy gold and grade A trolling
Joe Rogan is a bad comic. Any time he has a great comic (e.g. Theo Von, Bill Burr) on his show, the number of jokes that fly over his head is astounding. He takes everything so literally he can’t even tell when a joke is being told half the time.
I don't consider Rogan a comedian, though he is great at being a show host and commentator. Bottom line is it doesn't matter what I think, he does what he feels he needs to for himself from his heart. Admirable quality
EDIT. Ok so I just watched the whole episode. anyone else noticed a few times where carrot top had a brain fart? It would be hilarious if he was doing it at a joke, but as an armchair medical doctor, my experience leads me to believe he is showing signs of dimentia. This behavior can also be a result of a brain tumor pressing up against the medulla oblongata. Joe even called him out when he accidentally referred to Bill Cosby as Eddie Murphy. There were other times where he just stops talking halfway through a sentence. It’s like his train of thought just flipped off and his mouth followed suit. Could this just be his nerves? A lot of people can work a stage like it’s nothing but when they’re 1 on 1 or in small groups they can have these nervous tics. For posterity, my comment originally said this: “Saw him in Vegas and he is legitimately hilarious and one of the few tickets worth the price”
Joe does that thing where he thinks if he says his material and yells it or says it loudly somehow that makes it funnier. His standup is for the ape contingent of his audience.
This guy did shots with us at one of his shows in Vegas DURING the show. He found out it was my mom's birthday and toasted to her. I'll forever be a fan of his for this moment.
My family and I always appreciated carrot top and always will, and that he continues to overcome the twats of society and keeps on doing what he does is the true sign of a master!!
I've worked CT's show twice, and it was always funny. The thing that got me is that he was obviously ALWAYS working. He would have props that must've took hours to create for a locally specific, super timely joke that would either last for 5s or would be missed completely, but I always appreciated them. He also had my favorite crew t-shirt which I lost somewhere over the years and it had his logo on it with tiny words inscribed all around it saying, "All the shit for just one guy." Because he would travel with two semi's and a bus. Keep it going Scott!
Went to one of his Vegas shows years ago as a teenager. Laughed so hard, I think it was the hardest I've ever laughed for an extended period of time. Dumb simple comedy is some of the best lol
@@pointysidedown It just shows that he’s ready to give others props rather than taking it all himself. The classic “we” instead of “me” response is a great measure of respect.
Carrot Top was my favorite comedian growing up. I’m on the autism spectrum so sometimes jokes and sarcasm goes over. Y head so having a visual aide always helped. It good to hear from him! I never understood the hate he got. I love his goofy brand of humor, it’s a lot like the Muppets.
what a blast from the past! love him or hate him, you’ve gotta give this man his props (pun not even intended lmao)…. he’s been doing this forever and obviously loves it.
He is absolutely right about his brand of prop comedy. Being about inventions, not so much about being punny. Anyhow, always loved him ever since I caught him on TV in the 80's. The "clothes hanger for bachelors" still gets me every time.
Carrot Top has been a headlining comedian for THIRTY YEARS. That is worthy of massive respect. How many people have been in the game that long? Dave Chappelle? That is pretty good company.
I watched you as a kid Carrot Top and I thought you put on a great act. As an adult, I still enjoy to see your act. Just know, you have people out here that enjoy what you do.
This guy was blowing the doors off comedy clubs within a year of getting started. I never understood the hate for him - he’s quite funny and obviously successful.
This is why I love your show, you get to see people for who they really are, carrot top is a really cool guy that gets shit on for no reason by a lot of people. This show has change my perspective on so many different people and ideas. Thank you so much Joe.
@@Stix_Zidinia and if I did? How does that hurt you? It must be awful to see somebody post something positive and go "I need to comment so I can set them straight". 🙄
I ended up in a show of this guy once. Was cynical going in but my date and I had an awesome time. Laughed our asses off. Carrot top fan for life. I recommend his show if you get a chance.
I used to always look forward to New Years Eve on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno when Carrot Top came out every year and did a bunch of new material i loved it
I must admit I completely misjudged carrot top. He's an easy target to poke fun at but this guy takes it in strides. He's completely down to earth and seems like a legit good guy.
I traveled to the US in the 00's and while in Arizona some friends took me to see Carrot Top. I hadn't even heard of him, but I had a blast. Best part of the show I remember was him doing some Metallica / James Hetfield impression. Man, when I got back to the house, I searched the internets to try find that bit to re-live it, sadly, I never did.
Carrot top is so cool, that about 15 years ago while my friends and I were out walking from club to club one late Sat night in Downtown Orlando, we spotted him just walking down the street, so we were like "Holy Shit it's Carrot top", and we had never met the guy, but he treated us all as if we were friends he hadn't seen in 20 years, and by the time the encounter was over (about 30 minutes, he had AT LEAST 100 PEOPLE LAUGHING HISTRICALLY !!!!! In the end, he just said something like, "Hey, it was really nice spending some time with you all, I've got to run, take care" and just walked off, with people yelling "we love you Carrot Top," etc." This man is SO COOL !! Thank you Joe Rogan for stepping up and setting the record straight for this well deserving fellow comedian - this was a super classy move by Joe Rogan.
Had the opportunity to meet Scott when my buddy was a concierge at Luxor. Show was funny and dude legit spent 20min bullshit'n with us back stage about buying a new house and the gym we both worked out at. Dudes cool. He stays in his lane and kills it, no reason for the hate. I'll take friends and family to his show anytime they're in town.
Carrot top has been through a lot of transformations in my lifetime. I never understood why he got shit on so much. Glad he has stayed strong and true to himself. Sounds like a solid dude
I saw Carrot Top at some venue in Charlotte in the mid 90s and he brought the house down. I don't think i've ever laughed that hard and for that long in my entire life. Dude was hilarious.
Carrot Top has always been a class act. The day Norm MacDonald died he played the clip at his show from Conan where Norm shit on him and his movie. Major respect to Carrot Top
wow....i'm hearing real humility and heart...i'm really glad he's doing stuff again! what a crazy life! i dig his perspective. major props for weathering the long shit storm!
CT - “Carlin thinks I’m funny and that’s all that matters, hearing you’re funny from someone that matters” JR - “You are funny man!!! You are!!” CT - silence
As a kid that grew up on the 90’s and watched a lot of TV I remember how Carrot Top was the butt of countless jokes. I never understood it because he has always been funny to me
He was always kinda kooky, but I think when he got roided out, that started all the dissing. Kind of like a "child stars - where are they now" E! network type 'expose'. It just kind of made him look contrary to what he was supposed to be. I don't know, just my take.
@cat with internet Yes, I was also wrapped in three inch thick layers of cotton wool and bubble wrap and only allowed outside during the summer solstice.
Man, I remember carrot top from when I was a kid growing up in the 90s and I gotta say you gotta have respect for the man. Really enjoyed to two clips I’ve seen from the Rogan interveiw
Saw him in Vegas a while back, funny as hell. Plus he gave out shots of crown royal. Laughed so hard for complete show, very funny guy that Carrot Top.
Seen Carrot Top live in Vegas once and truly can’t wait to go see him again. Brought so much laughter and joy to everyone in the audience. One of my favorite for sure. I’ll never understand why he got shit on so much. His props are actually really impressive when you think about the time and thought put into them. I’ll always be a fan.
I love Carrot Top and have followed him most of his career. I always go to his show when he travels to my town. Thank you for the many years of laughs. We know you are a great person.
The fact he lost all his props in a fire , and comedians everywhere pitched in to help him replace them showed me he has the love of his peers ❤

I dragged a friend to see him in Vegas against his will. Looked over to see him literally holding his stomach laughing. GREAT show.
Saw him in Vegas and had such a great time. Was literally in tears. Love his quick witty jokes!
Carrot Top has always been a funny comedian. He may not be for you, but give him his props.
I see what you did there.
That was good, applause.
Buh duh bum tssshhhhb
Where can I get “props” so I can give it to him?
@@wizcorn9958 from the prop shop
Had a beer with him at the Porch in Winter Park. He was just there chilling by himself. Super down to Earth and laid back.
I think he lives in Winter Park and hangs out at the bars there often.
Can confirm, I lived in Winter Park from 2007-2010 and had several sightings of Sir Carrot but never had the balls to talk to him. I always assumed he either lived in the city or was a secret Full Sail employee
Winter Park, Colorado?
@@Unz360 Florida
tell me more
This dude is a comedy genius. I saw him live and laughed my ass off.
Impressed with CT's honesty, and humility. I'm going to have to watch some of his stuff now.
I was just thinking the dame exact thing
Thought the same, found this one.
Decent example of how he knows how to perform
th-cam.com/video/zx0vYXF1_vA/w-d-xo.html
How did that go
Its all about his live show. If you get the chance. Check it out.
Ive seen around 80 comedy shows. Carrot top is absolutely my favorite. The crowd roars the entire time with laughter its great!
@@ericrdutton not my cup of tea
One of the first comedians I remember seeing on Late Shows growing up. Always thought he was so interesting and unique. Loved this interview. Go Carrot Top!
When he was young and doing his first bits up on stage, I laughed and loved his comedy. The reason I bring it up is cause I loved his reactions to the crowd when they really enjoyed it (he was so nervous and unsure). I think Carrot Top is a genuinely kind and caring person and in my book that makes him a stand up dude! Keep it up!
He's a gentleman in person and his act is hilarious,, if you have a chance to see him, don't pass it up. Great !!
Thanks Joe.
It’s interesting to watch CT’ body language. He takes a lot of the criticism to heart. Props to him for keeping it all in perspective (no pun intended) and not letting it ruin him.
Bless Carrot Top. He has been through the ringer and come out the other side. Thank God. What a champ
Can you elaborate?
@@theMcWOPPER “went through the ringer” = Mr. Top lived through a house-fire where he came out looking like Goth Shaun White
Everyone hates , but hes a pro. Hes been doing standup for like 30 years.
He came to my college in 1991 and freaking killed it. I laughed so hard that I had to take a Tylenol after.
I can feel/ relate what he has gone through as a fellow ginger
Joe called carrot the nickleback of comedy to his face and carrot took it with grace. What a guy
Idk, to me that’s a compliment. People shit on nickelback constantly but they have so many genuinely great songs. You can’t listen to burn it to the ground and not enjoy it haha
"Ive seen Nickelback and they put on an amazing show" lmao
@@agitatedaligator5340 Yeah. I guarantee if you played a bunch of nickelback songs without telling anyone it was Nickleback, then they would like them. Especially some of the older ones.
@@agitatedaligator5340 it was a lot to do with a generation of kids who loved to hate anything mainstream/popular/successful. Mix in the elitism of the rock/metal scene. And I think the rise of social media had a large part of it too, hivemind thinking is a big aspect of it
@@Captain_Insano_nomercy yeah, that, and their music is lame as hell.
I have never seen Carrot Top not be anything other than laugh out loud hilarious. He is a comic - in the true sense of the word - genius. "He speaks Comic" as a good comedian would say
As a red head I saw him once while I was working and casually said “there goes the reason for all my carrot top insults” and he just says “yeah I’m really sorry about that”. My co workers and I all cracked up as I was more saying it to them but he responded genuinely. Real down to earth dude. It was great.
He deepens the clown role for his own gain while licensing all the closet-racists with insults. Incredibly selfish, if you think about it.
@@EmperorsNewWardrobe Umm that’s an odd way to look at it. I don’t think he’s doing it to purposely clown on red heads. He’s just having fun with what he’s got. It’s the other people that tried to turn it into an insult.
@@zachariahyager3115 red heads are already an open target, and he must have been aware of that. To then use a derogatory term as an attention-grabbing clown name is to also give fuel to the closet-racists. Why is that odd?
@@EmperorsNewWardrobe
@@VMykeV why’s that then?
Dude, Carrot Top does a sick show. Saw him in Vegas several years ago. Absolutely hilarious. One of the best shows in Vegas in my opinion.
Never heard Carrot Top speak outside of his stage show. He seems cool af. Unique dude, hope he keeps doing his thing in Vegas.
He is "the carrot top" out of all of them out there.
Contract at the luxor extended into 2025. Damn, quite the gig
I saw Carrot Top in Vegas years ago. Funniest comedian I have seen. Absolutely brilliant show!!! Tons of energy
I’ve seen carrot tops show 4 times. Loved it each time! Very funny, great energy. Standing ovation each time
Early carrot top was actually hilarious. look back at his first appearances on the tonight show, just a ball of fun energy.
I was just saying I used to look so forward to when he would come out on Tonight Show in the 90s every New Years he was genuinely hilarious
Holy shit it’s Rocky Denis
True Fact: Meanwhile in North Korea
Confirmed: 1
Deaths: 2
Was????
I went down a carrot rabbit hole about a yr ago. Couldnt stop watching them. I think i legit watched every video he was in tht was uploaded. No joke.
He had some sort of mental breakdown and he never fully recovered. You can see it in this video he's struggling with confidence.
@@vperkv6554 Same, he is a very funny guy
One minute in and he sounds more coherent and rational than majority of the population
I would bet my savings he's not a leftist. Probably why he's not deranged.
Like Dr Malone?
Carrot Top seems like one of the most genuine, nicest people. I’ve seen his show a few times & it’s funny 👍🏻
Carrot Top has made me laugh 10 times harder than Joe Rogan ever has...and I love this podcast.
Yea, hate to say it but Rogans humor never clicked for me... I havent thought it through as to why, maybe he tries to hard? Whereas carrot top flows...
@@mcm4981 I'm finally starting to get Joe's humor. The post he made about cooking meat over a fire the other day is actually comedy gold and grade A trolling
Joe Rogan is a bad comic. Any time he has a great comic (e.g. Theo Von, Bill Burr) on his show, the number of jokes that fly over his head is astounding. He takes everything so literally he can’t even tell when a joke is being told half the time.
I don't consider Rogan a comedian, though he is great at being a show host and commentator. Bottom line is it doesn't matter what I think, he does what he feels he needs to for himself from his heart. Admirable quality
@@TVResults Oh yeah I would never deny Rogan’s many talents. I’m just taken aback by how dull his sense of humor seems at times.
EDIT. Ok so I just watched the whole episode. anyone else noticed a few times where carrot top had a brain fart? It would be hilarious if he was doing it at a joke, but as an armchair medical doctor, my experience leads me to believe he is showing signs of dimentia. This behavior can also be a result of a brain tumor pressing up against the medulla oblongata. Joe even called him out when he accidentally referred to Bill Cosby as Eddie Murphy. There were other times where he just stops talking halfway through a sentence. It’s like his train of thought just flipped off and his mouth followed suit. Could this just be his nerves? A lot of people can work a stage like it’s nothing but when they’re 1 on 1 or in small groups they can have these nervous tics.
For posterity, my comment originally said this:
“Saw him in Vegas and he is legitimately hilarious and one of the few tickets worth the price”
*Penn and Teller* free tickets during blood drive
I concur
I got dragged to one of his shows and I did NOT want to go but holy hell it was amazing
Love your profile pic
Penn and teller were awful. Carrot top is the real deal. Funny shows. Penn and teller should be in jail for stealing. Their show is so bad
I was never really into carrot top but the dude is definitely a legend and iconic
th-cam.com/video/EUyuGEhl1eE/w-d-xo.html
Your kids will be saying the same about Jake Paul.
@@beetlejuice4357 say it aint so
@@beetlejuice4357 yeah probably lol. I mean I don’t think he’s necessarily a legend but I can respect what he’s done for himself
I've seen a lot of shows in Las Vegas over the years and Carrot Top was one of the best.
I’d rather go to a Carrot Top show than watch Joe do stand up
Joe does that thing where he thinks if he says his material and yells it or says it loudly somehow that makes it funnier. His standup is for the ape contingent of his audience.
No doubt. I don’t understand why people think Joe is funny. Kinda like Dice Clay. I didn’t get it.
@@alelectric2767 you can throw joey diaz in there too. he's funny but he's not a comedian. he's a storyteller imo
@@clipsedrag13 The whole JRE crew of “comedians” aren’t funny imo. Rogan, Theo Von, Burt, Ari, Segura, Diaz etc.
1000000 percent
Shout out to the Legendary Wid!
Carrot Top is a great guy. I picked him up from the Atlanta airport for a show at my university back in the 90's, had a blast talking to him.
That wasn't carrot top it was Rodney Allen Rippy.
@@InjuredRobot. I graduated in 95 so it had to be before then. That is still cool.
I seen him a few years ago. I really enjoyed the show.
If I ever go back I’d see him again.
This guy did shots with us at one of his shows in Vegas DURING the show. He found out it was my mom's birthday and toasted to her. I'll forever be a fan of his for this moment.
I got the pleasure of seeing him live in Milwaukee back in the mid 90's. We laughed our asses off. It was a great show, he was awesome.
My family and I always appreciated carrot top and always will, and that he continues to overcome the twats of society and keeps on doing what he does is the true sign of a master!!
I've worked CT's show twice, and it was always funny. The thing that got me is that he was obviously ALWAYS working. He would have props that must've took hours to create for a locally specific, super timely joke that would either last for 5s or would be missed completely, but I always appreciated them. He also had my favorite crew t-shirt which I lost somewhere over the years and it had his logo on it with tiny words inscribed all around it saying, "All the shit for just one guy." Because he would travel with two semi's and a bus. Keep it going Scott!
There was never a cooler more down to earth dude in the business. So glad this happened.
*Patrice*
Clearly you’ve never heard of one Michael Richards…
Went to one of his Vegas shows years ago as a teenager. Laughed so hard, I think it was the hardest I've ever laughed for an extended period of time. Dumb simple comedy is some of the best lol
U can tell he's a respectful guy because he says, "we put on a good show"
Good catch, I thought the same.
Im not sure how that proves he is respectful, but it indicates his standards and integrity as a performer.
Cait Bailey I think “respectable” might be what he’s saying, man has earned his chops as a performer.
@@pointysidedown It just shows that he’s ready to give others props rather than taking it all himself. The classic “we” instead of “me” response is a great measure of respect.
@@dildobaggins692 nice interpretation, I didn't notice that
Carrot Top was my favorite comedian growing up. I’m on the autism spectrum so sometimes jokes and sarcasm goes over. Y head so having a visual aide always helped. It good to hear from him! I never understood the hate he got. I love his goofy brand of humor, it’s a lot like the Muppets.
That’s cool! I never thought of that!
what a blast from the past!
love him or hate him, you’ve gotta give this man his props (pun not even intended lmao)…. he’s been doing this forever and obviously loves it.
Man, I saw him live about 20 years ago. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard in my life?! I've always loved Carrot Top!
@@elena8341 🙈🙉🙊
Go on Son... get you some ass!!
The grandma arm is still hilarious
Same here!
I really enjoyed his work in “Chairman of the Bored.”
Lol
I also enjoyed his work in "9 and a Half Seconds".
He is absolutely right about his brand of prop comedy. Being about inventions, not so much about being punny. Anyhow, always loved him ever since I caught him on TV in the 80's. The "clothes hanger for bachelors" still gets me every time.
His style of comedy isn't for me, but he always comes across as such a good hearted and nice guy.
But the subtle humor of Always Sunny in Philadelphia is…got it.
@@macheetah49 Hey Jabroni don't get it twisted.. It's Always Sunny is the standard
but IASP is, lmao, bozo.
@@cloudyns why are people insulting thr guy for not liking his standup? its not a crime lol
@@sawtoothgrind1981 We are just messing with him because it's ironic how he likes IASP, but no Carrot top. Similar comedy to be honest.
I never got the hate either. He is genuinely funny
bruh
th-cam.com/video/EUyuGEhl1eE/w-d-xo.html
No
Maybe it's the cringey eyeliner.
it's just funny to shit on him though..especially because he doesn't get it at all
God bless Carrot Top. See him live, you’ll be a fan for life.
Carrot Top has been a headlining comedian for THIRTY YEARS. That is worthy of massive respect. How many people have been in the game that long? Dave Chappelle? That is pretty good company.
You're very young, and that was funny : )
@@hensonlaura I wish I was very young...
I watched you as a kid Carrot Top and I thought you put on a great act. As an adult, I still enjoy to see your act. Just know, you have people out here that enjoy what you do.
This guy was blowing the doors off comedy clubs within a year of getting started. I never understood the hate for him - he’s quite funny and obviously successful.
I hope he paid to get the doors fixed - very irresponsible behavior
Comedians probably didn’t like his success because they thought props was cheating somehow
@@bl1398 I think Rogan hit the nail on the head with the Nickelback analogy. Just became something popular to hate because it was popular.
@@bl1398it was actually because he was left handed - that's why they didn't like him. Get the facts right.
This is why I love your show, you get to see people for who they really are, carrot top is a really cool guy that gets shit on for no reason by a lot of people. This show has change my perspective on so many different people and ideas. Thank you so much Joe.

I’ve never seen Carrot Top live, but I’ve heard he’s hilarious. Don’t take any crap CT keep doing your thing!
seen him in Vegas 3 times...he's hilarious
Hating on Carrot Top is racist, obviously. 🙄
Saw him live some 8 years ago. He was hilarious. Really top notch.
I ended up in a show of this guy once. Was cynical going in but my date and I had an awesome time.
Laughed our asses off. Carrot top fan for life. I recommend his show if you get a chance.
I used to always look forward to New Years Eve on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno when Carrot Top came out every year and did a bunch of new material i loved it
Do you like new material?
I’ll never forget his OJ Simpson football with the butcher knife attached to the front 😂💀
I must admit I completely misjudged carrot top. He's an easy target to poke fun at but this guy takes it in strides. He's completely down to earth and seems like a legit good guy.
You never even seen him perform. You just follow the crowd. Grow some balls
@@benfoster794 So much misguided energy from you here mate.
@@benfoster794 💯
@@benfoster794you probably have never seen him perform a live show
Something about being able to take the jokes and still be confident in yourself that makes you so respectable
He seems like a really humble guy and I’d be proud to call him my friend.
Agreed, man. I love the amount of heart in this comment.
I traveled to the US in the 00's and while in Arizona some friends took me to see Carrot Top. I hadn't even heard of him, but I had a blast. Best part of the show I remember was him doing some Metallica / James Hetfield impression. Man, when I got back to the house, I searched the internets to try find that bit to re-live it, sadly, I never did.
He should have done a Dave Mustaine impression. And done it with Jim Breuer impersonating Lars.
Carrot top is so cool, that about 15 years ago while my friends and I were out walking from club to club one late Sat night in Downtown Orlando, we spotted him just walking down the street, so we were like "Holy Shit it's Carrot top", and we had never met the guy, but he treated us all as if we were friends he hadn't seen in 20 years, and by the time the encounter was over (about 30 minutes, he had AT LEAST 100 PEOPLE LAUGHING HISTRICALLY !!!!! In the end, he just said something like, "Hey, it was really nice spending some time with you all, I've got to run, take care" and just walked off, with people yelling "we love you Carrot Top," etc." This man is SO COOL !!
Thank you Joe Rogan for stepping up and setting the record straight for this well deserving fellow comedian - this was a super classy move by Joe Rogan.
Had the opportunity to meet Scott when my buddy was a concierge at Luxor. Show was funny and dude legit spent 20min bullshit'n with us back stage about buying a new house and the gym we both worked out at. Dudes cool. He stays in his lane and kills it, no reason for the hate. I'll take friends and family to his show anytime they're in town.
Seen him twice in Vegas and laughed my head off. Dude may not be the ugliest MF Ive ever seen, but he's in the top two
@@HamiltonRb Geesuz. He’s not ugly. Why would you say that? It’s totally unnecessary & childish

Carrot top has been through a lot of transformations in my lifetime. I never understood why he got shit on so much. Glad he has stayed strong and true to himself. Sounds like a solid dude
Saw his act in Vegas a few years ago. Laughed so much my face hurt. Totally funny. I'd see him again.
i just saw him two weeks ago in vegas. it was awesome man
I saw Carrot Top at some venue in Charlotte in the mid 90s and he brought the house down. I don't think i've ever laughed that hard and for that long in my entire life. Dude was hilarious.
Carrot Top has always been a class act. The day Norm MacDonald died he played the clip at his show from Conan where Norm shit on him and his movie. Major respect to Carrot Top
Dr. Malone
1990s Courtney Thorne-Smith! Yummy! 😍😋
wow....i'm hearing real humility and heart...i'm really glad he's doing stuff again! what a crazy life! i dig his perspective. major props for weathering the long shit storm!
Was that an intended pun “major props”? Just wondering but I agree his humility is really inspiring.
@@littlescott6162 glad someone caught that! couldn't help myself!! lol

JR - “You are funny man!!! You are!!”

As a kid that grew up on the 90’s and watched a lot of TV I remember how Carrot Top was the butt of countless jokes. I never understood it because he has always been funny to me
He just looked goofy with puffy orange hair.
@@tdestroyer4780 “Puffy Orange Top” just didn’t have the same ring to it
He was always kinda kooky, but I think when he got roided out, that started all the dissing. Kind of like a "child stars - where are they now" E! network type 'expose'. It just kind of made him look contrary to what he was supposed to be. I don't know, just my take.
I'm just gonna say it, I didn't like carrot top purely because of his hair and eye liner, that combination scared the fuck out of me as a kid.
@cat with internet Yes, I was also wrapped in three inch thick layers of cotton wool and bubble wrap and only allowed outside during the summer solstice.
How long were you a kid for?
@@wizcorn9958 There's an expiry date?
@@oldoldmeme Same here, although it worked out well with my being circumcised, and all.
Man, I remember carrot top from when I was a kid growing up in the 90s and I gotta say you gotta have respect for the man. Really enjoyed to two clips I’ve seen from the Rogan interveiw
Saw him in Vegas a while back, funny as hell. Plus he gave out shots of crown royal. Laughed so hard for complete show, very funny guy that Carrot Top.
Seen Carrot Top live in Vegas once and truly can’t wait to go see him again. Brought so much laughter and joy to everyone in the audience. One of my favorite for sure. I’ll never understand why he got shit on so much. His props are actually really impressive when you think about the time and thought put into them. I’ll always be a fan.
Because there are miserable people everywhere trying to make everyone as miserable as they are
I am actually seeing JRE more than my friends in these days.
That’s sad
I love Carrot Top and have followed him most of his career. I always go to his show when he travels to my town. Thank you for the many years of laughs. We know you are a great person.
He literally was my favorite comedian growing up.
I've always been a fan of Carrot Top. His props are hilarious.
