Vandalism
[edit]Article rolled back due to vandalism by unregistered IP --RichardMills65 (talk) 19:14, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
Offensive
[edit]I was invited to attend a live show by Carrot Top a few years ago. The language and imagery Thompson used could only be described as foul and offensive. A number of members in the audience got up and walked out during the show. One of my companions took the time later to register formal complaints to the venue management and to Thompson's manager. His language and behavior on television are cleaned up compared to live shows, probably by use of editing; it is inconceivable that he would be allowed to perform unrestricted on a live broadcast, lest the broadcasting company risk losing its license. After attending the show I learned this trait is widely known, yet the article is silent in this regard. Why? — QuicksilverT @ 16:06, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Elizium23 (talk) 20:25, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
- Lots of comedians can be offensive. That's not really an important point. Wikipedia is not a parent's guide. McLerristarr | Mclay1 16:37, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
- Agreed, offensive is not the problem. It's how awful and tiresome his loathsome prop comedy is . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:6480:B640:CD14:907C:1830:C4EB (talk) 00:04, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Physique Transformation
[edit]The article needs a brief section regarding him bulking up. DrkBlueXG (talk) 19:24, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
Appearances on MDA Telethons
[edit]Not a single reference to his multiple appearances, over the years, on Jerry Lewis' Muscular Dystrophy Association telethons! Skaizun (talk) 13:02, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
- So, mention it. ~2025-34369-38 (talk) 00:23, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
Conan O'Brien
[edit]Was hoping to see some reference to the early years (and even later) on Late Night with Conan O'Brien where he would often pull up a ridiculous image of Carrot Top anytime he was mentioned, as a punchline. That was the only place I had ever even heard of him. MrAureliusRYell at me! 22:33, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
2026 Hospitalization
[edit]Per WP:RSP, TMZ is not considered to be a good source for biographies of living people. Please don't add information whose only source is TMZ. OhNoitsJamie talk 14:07, 19 September 2026 (UTC)
- TMZ also seems to be the only place reporting it as attempted suicide. Every other news source is saying "undisclosed reasons".
- I think until it's confirmed from a primary source the article should say:
- > On September 18, 2026, Carrot Top cancelled Friday and Saturday night shows after being hospitalized
- Also, "hospitalised" is not the American spelling, which I think it should be since he's American? ~2026-50562-01 (talk) 21:44, 19 September 2026 (UTC)
