Carrot Top: Comedy Legend Talks Vegas Residency, Success and Branding His Red Hair

July 19, 2024

The How to be a Redhead podcast is back!


This is technically our 6th season, but we are dropping a new episode every Friday way into 2025 and have decided to simply call it a "new season". We know so many of you have requested a new episode and a video version every week -- we're here to deliver. Listen wherever you listen to podcasts, and you can now stream every episode weekly on YouTube! Click here to watch this episode's interview on our channel.


Our first guest this season is Scott Thompson, better known to fans around the world as Carrot Top. From humble beginnings on the comedy circuit to 31 star-studded appearances on "The Tonight Show," Carrot Top's journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. "When I started touring at the beginning of my career, I had two trunks and a strobe light," said Carrot Top. "Things got pretty crazy pretty fast, and before I knew it, I had a team touring the country in an 18-wheeler with 35 trunks full of props."


Now as a Las Vegas headliner and one of the best comedy residencies, Carrot Top can be seen nightly in Las Vegas or in a city near you, giving guests a spectacle worthy of most arena rock bands and features lights, music, fog machines, and streamer cannons – all in addition to his trunks full of props.


Just like How to be a Redhead, Carrot Top's entire brand is about being a redhead. We had a blast talking to Scott/Carrot Top and we think you'll find him down to earth, relatable and of course -- hilarious!
