Great Rip Taylor story from a poster on Aspecialthing.com (name withheld):
Rip Taylor just walked into my (my boss's) office for an audition and started talking to the other actors about a game show he did where people had to guess celebrities' secrets.
RIP
Corbin Bronson, Bernsin, what's his name? Anyway, he collects those snow cones that you shake and make it snow in. No one could guess what my secret was.
ACTOR
What was it?
RIP
You have to guess.
ACTOR
Is it about your... [stares at wig] um... [stares at wig] hair?
RIP
No.
ACTOR
About your early career? Where you grew up? Something about your, um, lifestyle?
CASTING DIRECTOR
Rip, come on in.
ACTOR
Before you go in, tell me what your secret is.
RIP
I used to be a page in the Senate.

Carrot Top told a really great Rip Taylor story on Penn Jillette's radio show a while back. Apparently Rip hates carrot top for "stealing his act", so after finding that out, Mr. Top was appearing on Leno or Letterman or something and actually did do Rip's act, bucket o' glitter and all. Since then Rip has confronted him in public asking things like "ho do you live your life like that?" and stuff.
That's amazing.
WTF is Carrot Top's deal, btw?
A) Everyone says he's a nice guy.
B) Allegedly either a womanizer or gay.
C) Disturbingly ripped.
That's three things besides being the biggest symbol of hack comedy this side of Gallagher.
I hope to God he worked for Jesse Helms...
