| 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.
