Love the interview and a much bigger fan of you now than before, but the “embellishments” in the stories are way too obvious, that whole Gallagher story is just a therapy session for you of things you wished happened. But I’m happy for you of that works! Still entertaining.
I’m so glad Carrot Top has the opportunity for everyone to learn more about him. His authenticity has a background that is worth knowing. He is so smart and interesting and so many others will appreciate this interview. Neil has blossomed as an interviewer with true empathy, respect and valid questions. This podcast is essential. ❤️
Scott is awesome. His prop comedy isn’t “dumb” at all like many say. He is creative and very intelligent. I’ve been a fan before the collect call commercials. For those that don’t know what a collect call is, ask your parents
Ive realized that in an effort to feel cool and smart ive incredibly unfairly judged CarrotTop. He is so funny and interesting. Amazing storyteller even in a podcast 👏
Never understood the hate of this guy -- he's FUNNY! It's dumb and funny and silly and plain ol' entertaining! I like him and I'm glad Neal interviewed him.
Saw Carrot Top’s show at the Luxor in October. He was fantastic. He’s not all prop comedy the whole time, but he’s 100% hilarious. Sucks that he’s placed solely in the prop comedy category.
Yet I would be disappointed if he dropped the props altogether. I saw him there too . The entire show was really funny and entertaining. Loved how he kept bringing shots to the audience 😊
Neal, I’m a psychologist and therapist (Scott Barry Kaufman is on my committee for the PhD!) and I love your podcast and comedy specials. This is a needed and beautiful thing you are doing. And it’s hilarious too. Keep up the good work Sir! My hats off to you. And due to my rapidly receding hairline, I am increasingly considering hats. 45:41
This is the hardest I've laughed in a while. I don't know why I didn't expect a seasoned comedian to not be hilarious, it's just that that happens so frequently on blocks
Carrot Top’s longevity is legendary; however, he has worked very hard to maintain his success. This is a roadmap for anyone wanting to stay successful in a very difficult industry. Insights into his inner thoughts are fascinating. His intensity working on his act is so admirable.
The older i get the more i appreciate uniqueness. Its a shame carrot top's peak coincided with a time in my life I was so desperate to fit in, I devalued his one of a kindness as gimmicky schtick. In reality, the vast majority of mainstream comics who blindly adhered to the tonight show template were the hacks. I'm pleased to see his longevity because the more I learn about him the more I like, even if i didn't personally "get it" at first.
phenomenal episode. Carrot Top is awesome. The guy has been successful for longer than I can remember and he's still so grounded, humble and self-deprecating. He always comes across as gracious. This is one of the best podcasts out there. I'm deep in the comedian podcast space and it since everyone always on everyone else's podcasts, the stories always end up getting retold and stale. This podcast actually carves out footholds for new stories from some of these people and I can't be more grateful. Fucking great idea, Jimmy Carr. You, too, Neal.
I always loved Carrot Top, I remember when people would make fun of him and I never understood that. He’s always been great, it’s good to see people recognizing that again
Wow, Gallagher needed to work his BLOCKs out, but it warmed my heart to hear your story, because the hidden message was that he cared about Carrot Top soo much. Not sure if anyone else picked up on this but Gallagher just had intimacy issues and probably showed Carrot Top more love than most. Awesome interview Neal!
Saw Carrot Top at the Luxor a few months ago. Although I’ve always been a fan, I was happy to finally confirm that he is genuinely funny and a super engaging standup. I’ll go see it again next time I’m in town.
I will absolutely find time during my next visit to see and support Carrot Top. I am glad he gained the awareness that being made fun of only made him more relevant and lovable.
First of all another great but dizzying interview. Carrot Top is entertaining. Probably the first interview I teared up and cried over the tragic Gallagher stories. And then I teared up again over the comics coming together to replace his props. Wildly successful guy, but yeah I remember Carrot Top not really getting a lot of respect. Its sad that Gallagher didn't understand that Carrot Top didn't steal his act, he's a descendent of that style of prop comedy that Gallagher perfected, which Carrot Top admired and studied. Carrot Top loves himself and knew exactly who he is, he stayed in his lane, worked hard and was so confident in his abilities despite all of the ridicule. "always stay gracious best revenge is your paper." I wonder if he has Asperger's (now Autism Spectrum).
This was ourstanding. I have so much respect for Carrot Top. To have remained a good and loyal friend to Gallagher when he was so mean and misguided is something most wouldnt want to deal with, let alone be able to treat those situations as kind and understanding as you did Scott. RIP Gallagher.
I’ve listened to every episode of the Champs and most of the episodes of this show and I think this is Neal’s best interview ever. Definitely best non-black guest interview hands down.
I actually know one of Carrot Top's previous managers, and they always speak very highly of him! ❤ I've always been a fan of you Scott. I hope to meet you in person one day. 🙏🏻👍🏻
Damn dude Carrot Top is for real. I'm from the family guy era of making fun of his kind of humor without realizing he laid a lot of groundwork for these kinda bits to still be relevant.
I really appreciate Carrot Top just being himself and talking comedy and his journey. This is one of your best to have those great stories and outstanding conversation! Cheers!
I have no idea why, but CT explaining his disgust of promotion..and going back on jumping off the Luxor in real time, because it wouldn't hurt...Made me LMAO!😂
I grew up with Carrot Top and always, always liked his comedy. It was frenetic and joyful. A little like what Gallagher and Pee-Wee were doing but more crafty and artful. You never knew what you were going to get, which was fun for a kid.
Carrot Top is one of my favorite people! I'm hoping I can see him live next time I'm in vegas. He's such a cool person! So nice and smart! So glad he's doing well! Good conversation!
Carrot Top was my legit introduction to stand up comedy. I couldn’t have been older than 5 or 6. I had really bad strep throat. Sick in bed feeling absolutely miserable. My mom let me come out and lay on the couch and watch tv way past my bedtime. I turned on the tv and immediately had this weird looking red head dude on the tv with all of these props and he’s just hitting joke after joke not even giving me time to finish laughing at one joke before going to the next. When he was done I heard Jay Leno say: “Carrot Top, everybody! Give him another round of applause.” From that day on I had to see any and all not just Carrot Top but stand up comedy period
I feel like Carrot Top had the same thing happen that Nickelback did, the right person made the right joke about it and it just caught like wildfire. But at the end of the day, when you hear "LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH" alone in your car, you're gonna sing it.
What a great episode! Whoa - the Gallagher and Gallagher Too stories are incredible. What a maniac. Great jokes and reactions by Neal. Super funny, great interview.
My wife and I needed something to do one night in Vegas and said fuck it let's go see Carrot Top. It was the best show I've seen in Vegas we both laughed our asses off. It was the best.
I only ever knew 'of' Carrot Top. LIke a lot of people outside the US, but this really is a fantastic chat. Thanks for doing the show Scott, and thanks Neal for another amazing episode.
I remember loving Carrot Tops movie as a kid. And to see how humble and down to earth he is, it’s incredible. Happy for the guy. Unfortunate he’s such a people pleaser, but as a comedian, I guess it comes with the territory. Hope nothing but the best for the guy.
I have seen so many people bag on Carrot Top - including Carrot Top himself- that I’m sad to say that I never really gave him a chance. I initially watched the edited version of this interview- the segment about him and Gallagher- and I was intrigued enough to watch the whole interview. If for some crazy reason I ever wind up in Las Vegas again, I will definitely go see his show. This is so strange. I like Carrot Top now. Weird!

Thanks again for having me on the podcast Neal 🧡
Love you Top ...great memories or seeing you with my dad back in the day when you'd come to Wi
Thank you for sharing your stories. A great listen.
Love the interview and a much bigger fan of you now than before, but the “embellishments” in the stories are way too obvious, that whole Gallagher story is just a therapy session for you of things you wished happened. But I’m happy for you of that works! Still entertaining.
legend!!!
bro the bit you do with the box of sleeves instead of tissue is my favorite joke

Talk about a guy staying true to his form and never changing to fit into Hollywood. Carrot Top is a Legend
Ive realized that in an effort to feel cool and smart ive incredibly unfairly judged CarrotTop. He is so funny and interesting. Amazing storyteller even in a podcast 👏
This may be my favorite episode so far. Carrot Top's stories are fantastic.
1000%
I live 5 hours from Las Vegas and I’m now planning when I can go see him live.
Never understood the hate of this guy -- he's FUNNY! It's dumb and funny and silly and plain ol' entertaining! I like him and I'm glad Neal interviewed him.
It’s plain & simple: they’re jealous.
Carrot top is so amazing and I love how vulnerable and honest he is.
Saw Carrot Top’s show at the Luxor in October. He was fantastic. He’s not all prop comedy the whole time, but he’s 100% hilarious. Sucks that he’s placed solely in the prop comedy category.

Loved how he kept bringing shots to the audience 😊
He’s super freaking funny! Always see him every time I go
Probably one of your best, Neal. I'd love to hear more from Scott. Thank you both.
This pod needs/deserves more views and likes. This is ridiculous, this pod turned into one of my favorites real quick.
Neal, I’m a psychologist and therapist (Scott Barry Kaufman is on my committee for the PhD!) and I love your podcast and comedy specials. This is a needed and beautiful thing you are doing. And it’s hilarious too.
Keep up the good work Sir! My hats off to you. And due to my rapidly receding hairline, I am increasingly considering hats.

I’m 40 … heard of Carrot Top my whole life .. but am SO excited to just really start discovering him!❤😊
Have you seen him in Vegas yet!?
What a perfect ending. For two guys that didn't know each other, this was a goddamn delight. ❤🤓🧡🥕

Carrot Top is a legend and one of the GOATs of prop-comedy. Great episode!
This was a great one. Man, he has some great stories!
I always loved Carrot Top, I remember when people would make fun of him and I never understood that. He’s always been great, it’s good to see people recognizing that again
One of the absolute BEST podcast guests EVER!!!
Right?
Wow, Gallagher needed to work his BLOCKs out, but it warmed my heart to hear your story, because the hidden message was that he cared about Carrot Top soo much. Not sure if anyone else picked up on this but Gallagher just had intimacy issues and probably showed Carrot Top more love than most. Awesome interview Neal!
It’s always so funny when two people who love to talk over other people meet. It becomes a loudness battle 😂

I always enjoy listening to Carrot Top…equally between his act and his interviews.
Best CT podcast yet, great conversation on the level.
Very good podcast keep them coming 👍.
Always been a fan. He is just all about jokes and making you laugh. I just remember smiling for every minute of this TV appearances.
This guy deserves his success
Damn dude Carrot Top is for real. I'm from the family guy era of making fun of his kind of humor without realizing he laid a lot of groundwork for these kinda bits to still be relevant.
He said on another pod, he does one new joke EVERY show!
Woah. He’s so mellow! Very cool to know he’s so genuine.
Thanks Neal.💖
I really appreciate Carrot Top just being himself and talking comedy and his journey. This is one of your best to have those great stories and outstanding conversation! Cheers!
Nothing but respect for Carrot Top
"Gallagher 2, Audience 'nothing' "
That's super funny!
Awesome show, as always. You would never know that you just met each other. What a great guest.
Probably my favorite episode so far. Legend.
This is one your best. Love to hear more from CT.
Saw Carrottop this summer. Best comic I've ever seen live. No kidding. He does the prop stuff but also lots of great "normal" stories and jokes too.
One of the 🐐, enjoyed growing up with this guy. Great listen.
I have no idea why, but CT explaining his disgust of promotion..and going back on jumping off the Luxor in real time, because it wouldn't hurt...Made me LMAO!😂
Crazy underviewed podcast.
I loved that Rickles story at the end of the pod. Great moment between two Vegas legends.
This episode was so damn wonderful to hear. I love the history of these lovely people that make me laugh.
Dude! Love Scott!! Stoked for this episode
The editing on these is hilarious. Bringing up the pics when a guy is mentioned and all that. Idk why but a few got me good
Gallagher vs Carrot Top needs to be a feature length film. Get the bots to start working on it ASAP Rocky.
This was absolutely fantastic. I like the energy knowing you two had never met. Great chemistry!
Nice to see Mr. Top still at it.
I just found out he has a Vegas residency! :)
CT is the nicest dude ever... Met him multiple times at airports and bars and there is not a nicer, more humble person out there.
Scott is the man! Love Carrot Top! 😍 Thanks Neal! ❤
Such a great episode!
Why does Carrot Top always look like he just finished a 12 hour shift repaving streets?
I’ve enjoyed seeing Carrot Top on the pods lately- he’s a great story teller! Fascinating guy.. Great ep!!
this interview is fantastic!!!
I think this is the best one so far!
Most interesting Blocks Guest ever!
I grew up with Carrot Top and always, always liked his comedy. It was frenetic and joyful. A little like what Gallagher and Pee-Wee were doing but more crafty and artful. You never knew what you were going to get, which was fun for a kid.
Carrot Top is one of my favorite people! I'm hoping I can see him live next time I'm in vegas. He's such a cool person! So nice and smart! So glad he's doing well! Good conversation!
That was very interesting. Could watch 8 hours of people telling Gallagher stories.
….”furthest thing from it!” Hilarious…😂 I love Neil and Carrot 🥕 Top is awesome. Very underrated
Carrot Top was my legit introduction to stand up comedy. I couldn’t have been older than 5 or 6. I had really bad strep throat. Sick in bed feeling absolutely miserable.

From that day on I had to see any and all not just Carrot Top but stand up comedy period
Thank you Neal. Thank you Scott. 😎
For all the shit people gave carrot top, man has shown that he’s a hard worker, a good comic, and a good man. I’ve never heard a bad story about him:
C-Top!!!!! Love you man!!! Neal, this show is amazing!!! Keep it going. Respect.
subscribed,,, carrotop fan here buddyroe.. awesome podcast this one was.. hats off to carrot top for linking this podcast out,, good stuffffff
I appreciate the way that can was placed. Nailing advertising that we don't have to listen to. I'm in.
Hats of to carrot top. Had no idea. This was so enjoyable to watch. Excellent segment.
Neal, your best one yet
I feel like Carrot Top had the same thing happen that Nickelback did, the right person made the right joke about it and it just caught like wildfire. But at the end of the day, when you hear "LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH" alone in your car, you're gonna sing it.
Nickelback sucks.
Such a funny episode, thanks!
carrot will always be a top to me woo! great vid kidz!
What a great episode! Whoa - the Gallagher and Gallagher Too stories are incredible. What a maniac.
Great jokes and reactions by Neal. Super funny, great interview.
Awesome stuff. 'I will jump off the Luxor' is my favorite new threat
C-top is one the MT Rush of COMEDY! Best interview yet. Keep doing you KID! @CarrotTOPLIVE
...this guy stood the test of time...not many can say that...the test helped, tho...lol...may he work forever!...
Totally different experience than most of your podcasts, but it was great to learn more about Carrot Top, the man, instead of just his comedy
My wife and I needed something to do one night in Vegas and said fuck it let's go see Carrot Top. It was the best show I've seen in Vegas we both laughed our asses off. It was the best.
Always a great pod, Neal never disappoints!
Also this is my weekly 'please get Bo Burnham on this podcast' comment ✌️
This was a great episode. Definitely got a different view of who i thought "Carrot Top" was. Great to get some insight into these celebrities.
Seeing this interview, I simply love him. What a cool dude.
One of the best episodes so far. I always saw carrot top around but never knew him. Now I feel like I do
Supporting Neal
I only ever knew 'of' Carrot Top. LIke a lot of people outside the US, but this really is a fantastic chat. Thanks for doing the show Scott, and thanks Neal for another amazing episode.
Carrot top is the shit. Always been a big fan. The Gallagher story was fantastic! Great ep!
Huge fan Scott. You're top 10 GOAT for me.
Gallagher didnt realize that wouldve been the greatest homage n sign of respect to him
I remember loving Carrot Tops movie as a kid. And to see how humble and down to earth he is, it’s incredible. Happy for the guy. Unfortunate he’s such a people pleaser, but as a comedian, I guess it comes with the territory. Hope nothing but the best for the guy.
1:10:48 - Neal needs to learn the difference between vertical and horizontal. Gallagher wore horizontal stripes, not vertical.
Carrot top is always great
Hell yes Top. One of the greatest of all time.
this was great
I have seen so many people bag on Carrot Top - including Carrot Top himself- that I’m sad to say that I never really gave him a chance.
I initially watched the edited version of this interview- the segment about him and Gallagher- and I was intrigued enough to watch the whole interview.
If for some crazy reason I ever wind up in Las Vegas again, I will definitely go see his show. This is so strange. I like Carrot Top now. Weird!
Great episode, especially the Gallager and Rickles bits.
