Before Wealth & Fame

After graduating from Cocoa High School in Florida, Scott Thompson was nicknamed Carrot Top by a local swimming coach because of his red hair.

In the late 1980s, he worked as a courier for a mortgage company while studying at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. As a freshman, he started performing stand-up comedy, and in 1991, he got his big break at Comic Strip Live, where Jerry Seinfeld started his career.
