Carrot Top Penn - 7/19/00

Hey, I know him well enough now to call him "Scott." Carrot Top is doing this special that might be for HBO and he wanted us to do a little bit in it. We were out by the pool at the MGM and he was a cabana boy serving drinks. He sees a woman and had a fantasy about her. We look at him, see that he's having a dream sequence and say, "Try this one" and send him into unpleasant dream sequences. One of which is us surrounded by women laughing at him.

It only took about an hour, but man it was hot. Serious Mohave hot. We were in our full suits and it was over a hundred right around noon. Scott (see I know him well) was in a cabana boy outfit with a hat with a mister in it. It was pretty easy for us. I had one line and Teller had to snap his fingers. Then we had to go and be surrounded by women in bikinis. The women were no fun. No one explained the bit to them, and they were just confused and hot (more physically than sexually, I'm afraid). I guess 45 years old is some magic number because all these women looked like children in swimwear to me. Even in string bikinis, they just didn't come off sexy in person. I guess mostly because they seemed so scared to be on video and so confused being so far out of the real loop. But, they were nice and we weren't there long. And, hey, they fanned us as part of their job.

Scott was really nice as always and seemed very appreciative of the hour of our time. He's a good guy.
