On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, legendary comedian Carrot Top joins Adam in the studio! Adam kicks things off with an observation about how fans have viewed Carrot Top over the years, and the two react to a classic clip of Norm MacDonald on Conan. Carrot Top shares stories of being mistaken for other wild-haired entertainers like Gallagher, talks about how his comedic roots trace back to his father, and recalls the first time his dad saw him perform live. They dive into Carrot Top's traditional family upbringing, his choice not to have kids, and the story behind his very first prop, which his NASA-engineer dad helped build.Carrot Top explains why he's baffled by moon landing deniers, prompting Adam to recount racing cars with astronaut Buzz Aldrin. The two swap hilarious Jay Leno stories—including one where Leno performed stand-up while still bleeding after he fell down a hill—and revisit Carrot Top's 1995 appearance on The Tonight Show. They also reflect on today's outrage culture, including the backlash over Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad, and discuss how Carrot Top builds his props today.
