Carrot Top
Scott
Thompson on February 25, 1967 in Cocoa Beach, Florida. He spends fifteen
weeks a year doing live performances in Las Vegas (currently performing
at the Luxor) and does over 100 shows a year on tour. His comedy routine
is most known for his comedic use of props (what Jerry Seinfeld
derisively termed a "prop comic"). Due to his appearance and behavior,
he is often mentioned (and ridiculed) on television shows such as The
Tonight Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Larry Sanders Show, Mr. Show,
Family Guy, King of the Hill, Too Late with Adam Carolla, Tough Crowd
with Colin Quinn, Scrubs, South Park, The Chelsea Handler Show, and The
Late Show with David Letterman. His extensive use of plastic surgery has
also been criticized by other comics.
He was also the continuity
announcer for Cartoon Network between 1995 and 1999. He is a graduate of
Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. When someone suggested he try
out for the college talent show he tried a few old jokes, but found real
success the next year when he added a few props to his act. Carrot Top
has also appeared in movies, including 1998's Chairman of The Board, and
has served as a spokesman in commercials for AT&T. Carrot Tops brother,
Garret, is a member of the Virginia Air National Guard. In 2005, Carrot
Top performed a show at Naval Base Ventura County as part of the Spirit
of America Tour.
