(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yajg2dKckxE)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!Follow Carrot Top on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/carrottoplive/) + TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@carrottoplive)Head to How to be a Redhead's Instagram (https://instagram.com/howtobearedhead) and TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@howtobearedhead)to see sneak peeks of this episode!Want to be an H2BAR Brand Ambassador?
