Thompson started working at a bank as a courier but was also working on the side to become a comic. However, he eventually quit within his first year because of the frustration of not being able to break into any clubs. He started taking up odd jobs to support himself but later on a club owner asked him to perform in his club by seeing how funny he was.

He would eventually make his first booking in 1990 while in Florida. That started a spiral of opportunities for him as he went on to start getting gigs every weekend. As his popularity grew, he was able to be part of the show called Comic Strip Live. Then in 1992, he would appear in The Tonight Show for the first time. Thompson went on to establish himself through the stage name Carrot Top and started appearing in different TV series and films. Some of these appearances include Gene Simmons Family Jewels, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and Chairman of the Board among many more.
