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 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 RUclips 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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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!
I have a lot of respect for this guy after seeing him talk to Joe. For years he was just a caricature to me and now I feel bad for feeling that way. I used to see him at my work and he was always smiling and nice to everyone. He's a good guy.
I remember seeing him just walking through a casino in Vegas and asking him for a pic, he got a big smile on his face and was super nice. It was during his roided out phase and I remember putting my arm on his shoulder for the pic and thinking "wtf is that" 😂
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 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
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.
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.
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!
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
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”
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?
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.
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.
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.
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!
@@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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!!
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
@@dcgeorgia6307 right on; inspiring to see him keeping add it after all these years! I remember him at the beginning of his career and always liked his act.
So talks with Carrot Top are allowed to stay on RUclips, Twitter, and Facebook, but talks with Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone are not. Got it.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
My ex girlfriend worked at a McDonald’s in Camrose Alberta years ago and 10 minutes after closing Chad Kruger came through and started screaming at them in the drive through for not serving him, and actually said “do you know who I am, I’m a chad Kruger” NickleBack never got half the hate they deserve.
its this type of hearsay the internet propagates. My partner who is a Dr was moonlighting as a reddit moderator once and gallowboob and Kermit both started spamming /r/AlexHonnold with ads for erectile dysfunction pill ads. they said to her “do you know how many teenagw girls we have updooted?”
She lied to you. He liked her pants around her feet He like the dirt that’s on her knees He liked the way she’d still say please While she was looking up at he She likes his favourite damn disease ( skip a few lyrics ) They did to many long lines in a row He lived the powder on her nose
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
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.
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.
I saw carrot top back in the 80s at a local college. My stomach and back muscles were hurting me from laughing when the show finished. Hilarious stuff and original.
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!
Love how Joe is so adamant to stand up against popular memes and say that Carrot Top and Nickleback are both talented creators that have produced some great entertainment.
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.
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.
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!
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 ❤
didn't know that... cool to hear (not the 🔥 part lol)

@@slaphappyduplenty2436 yeah we can blame you because you made that decision.
@@slaphappyduplenty2436 lol
This dude is a comedy genius. I saw him live and laughed my ass off.
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?

tell me more
I really enjoyed his work in “Chairman of the Bored.”
Lol
I also enjoyed his work in "9 and a Half Seconds".
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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...
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.
Dude looks crazy lol
Always has lol
Crazier*
He got into Botox and fillers and then a bad eye lift.
Props to him for embracing his look.
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!
Carrot Top seems like one of the most genuine, nicest people. I’ve seen his show a few times & it’s funny 👍🏻
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
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 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 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
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

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
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.
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
ruclips.net/video/zx0vYXF1_vA/видео.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
I saw Carrot Top in Vegas years ago. Funniest comedian I have seen. Absolutely brilliant show!!! Tons of energy
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.
I was never really into carrot top but the dude is definitely a legend and iconic
ruclips.net/video/EUyuGEhl1eE/видео.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
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!
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!
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…
“Box office poison!”
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 never got the hate either. He is genuinely funny
bruh
ruclips.net/video/EUyuGEhl1eE/видео.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
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
I seen him a few years ago. I really enjoyed the show.
If I ever go back I’d see him again.
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!!
Seen him live, one of the best comedians I've seen period. Go see him, thank me later
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.
To be fair, when I ran a music store, my five dollar bin was full of Nickelback and carrot top CDs
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
lmao i caught that
Bruh, Rogan has done more than his share of sh*t talking on Carrot Top over the years on this very show, this is funny. 🤣🤣

*Nobody is talking about how old carrot top is...looking pretty good with that red hair youth look..isn’t he 60?*
Carrot Top is 56. He'll be 57 in a month. His birthday is February 23, 1965.
@@dcgeorgia6307 right on; inspiring to see him keeping add it after all these years! I remember him at the beginning of his career and always liked his act.
So talks with Carrot Top are allowed to stay on RUclips, Twitter, and Facebook, but talks with Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone are not. Got it.
I guess spewing pseudoscience will get you removed from those platforms.
@@whentheleveebreaks4732 i guess stealing songs is still cool
@@whentheleveebreaks4732 the fucking gall of calling McCullough or Malone psuedoscientists

Is that in reference to my username? You are aware that Led Zeppelin took it from a song by a relative unknown about a flood in the ‘20s?
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
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.
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.
I am actually seeing JRE more than my friends in these days.
That’s sad
I’ve seen carrot tops show 4 times. Loved it each time! Very funny, great energy. Standing ovation each time
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 🙈🙉🙊

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.
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! 😍😋
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.
Everyone loves a fighter. Carrot top is a fighter, he has such a great attitude how can you not respect the guy.
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?
My ex girlfriend worked at a McDonald’s in Camrose Alberta years ago and 10 minutes after closing Chad Kruger came through and started screaming at them in the drive through for not serving him, and actually said “do you know who I am, I’m a chad Kruger” NickleBack never got half the hate they deserve.
its this type of hearsay the internet propagates.
My partner who is a Dr was moonlighting as a reddit moderator once and gallowboob and Kermit both started spamming /r/AlexHonnold with ads for erectile dysfunction pill ads. they said to her “do you know how many teenagw girls we have updooted?”

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.

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.
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 saw carrot top back in the 80s at a local college. My stomach and back muscles were hurting me from laughing when the show finished. Hilarious stuff and original.
He literally was my favorite comedian growing up.
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!
Love how Joe is so adamant to stand up against popular memes and say that Carrot Top and Nickleback are both talented creators that have produced some great entertainment.
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.
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 looks ROUGH
