Really? no, Really?

Carrot Top: 4,000 Shows, The Haters + Jason’s “Final Moment”


Listen Later

The Broadway show The Phantom of the Opera, recently closed its doors after an unprecedented 35 year run and 13,981 performances. This begged the question, how can actors, singers, dancers, and musicians perform the same show over and over, night after night, without going out of their minds?

So, when Jason and Peter discovered that their friend, Scott Thompson has performed his solo Vegas show over 4000 times, it resulted in a well-deserved… Really, no really.

You know Scott as his alter ego, comedian Carrot Top and we figured he would be a great resource for explaining how one keeps their sanity when your life closely resembles “Groundhog Day.”

In this episode:

  • What’s it like being a Las Vegas comedian doing essentially the same show for 30 years?
  • Buffing up like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
  • The science of boring.
  • What are the repetitive jobs that won’t be replaced?
  • Peter and Jason revisit that night in a Vegas dressing room with Hugh Hefner’s former girlfriend, Holly Madison.
  • Scott’s connection to NASA.
  • The joke Jay Leno tells Carrot Top EVERY time he sees him, and the reason Jay always kept inviting him back on the Tonight Show.
  • The reaction to Scott telling his dad he wanted to be a comedian will leave you speechless.
  • The hate Scott’s received from other comedians and where the cruelty comes from.
  • Carrot Top is actually shy?
  • How Jason wants to handle his ‘final moment’ in a dramatic death scene.
  • In Vegas, all the headliners used to hang out together… still true?
  • Remembering The Amazing Johnathan (September 9, 1958 – February 22, 2022.)
  • What’s it like to have lunch with the most commercially successful magician in history David Copperfield?
  • Hear Scott’s unbelievable George Carlin story and George’s favorite Carrot Top prop.
