I know that I go by "Carrot Top" and I have big hair and I do props and I'm kind of silly. Of course, for these guys who write jokes for these shows [like
The Daily Show (1996)] I'm an easy target. I keep that in the back of my head. I don't think it's the props, because I sure haven't invented prop comedy. I think it's the fact that I do something different and that I actually have some success with it. That bothers a lot of people, especially comics. Comics don't like to see other comics do well. It's our nature: Human beings like success but they hate successful people. But some of the jabs are kind of funny, like on
Les rois du Texas (1997) when the kid wanted to be Celery Head. I found it kind of flattering. But
Craig Kilborn was just rotten.
