Carrot Top | Born in 1965, Carrot Top’s AM Mayhem

People would most likely refuse to take anyone with a name like Carrot Top seriously. And that seems to be the angle Scott Thompson was going for when he chose that moniker. When he was launching his career in the mid-’80s, it was customary for comedians to go by funny names professionally. And Carrot Top seems fitting, considering his flaming locks.

Thompson is skilled at live comedy, and most of his performances often involve props. But he’s also appeared in shows like “George Lopez,” “Scrubs” and “Gene Simmons’s Family Jewels.” Still active on the scene, he showed up during a Spotify episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” in 2022.

Shaun Cassidy | Born in 1958, American Gothic

Not many know that Shaun Paul Cassidy is a Hollywood legacy. Yes, he’s produced shows like “American Gothic” and “Invasion,” and it’s also true that he signed a recording contract with Warner Bros in high school. But he’s also the son of Academy Award-winning actress Shirley Jones and his father is Jack Cassidy.

Even if Shaun had gotten a leg in thanks to his parent’s influence, his rise to the top has been nothing but a singular effort. And after adding recording artist and actor to his skillset, he returned to the stage in 2021 with the one-person show “The Magic of a Midnight Sky.”
