message: Does anyone have a better photo?  In know this one's from his daughter's wedding, but it looks as if he's just come out of court.  And it's not very clear either. garik 23:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

message: It's been claimed  that JC used the word wiki before it was coined for a computer application - anyone know?--Shtove 11:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Aah... wiki wiki! (in other words yes). In 24 Carrott Gold, a stand up routine recorded in 1990, Jasper told us about his trip to Japan (I think) where he was told the only word he'd need to get by was 'Wiki'. Allegedly he succeded in conversing with the local population and even ordered food using that one word. ~~ Peteb16 15:39, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

message: There is an omission, but I haven't formed an idea of how to fit this within Wikipedia yet. There were several similar contemporary comedians working the same format: Jasper Carrott, Mike Harding, Max Boyce, and Billy Connolly who all worked a similar format of anecdotal stand-up with a hint of a guitar, generally surreal, but normally fairly clean stories. They all ended up with TV shows and made records (the commercial outlet before the days of videos and DVDs). A closer family than British stand-up comedians. Spenny 16:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

message: In 1976 James Stannage on Piccadilly Radio repeatedly played a Jasper Carrott piece called the Aston Villa Skinhead Supporters Song - was that on the rare Jasper Carrot - In the Club album, or was it a private recording?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.41.5.234 (talk) 00:25, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

message: "The B-side of this single was a risqué monologue parodying the animated children's TV series The Magic Roundabout. This was banned by the BBC, which is widely believed to have aided its commercial success" - why would the BBC feel the need to ban the B-side of a single........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:46, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Maybe this isn't noteworthy, but it always sticks in my mind - a very well-crafted April Fool's story that appeared in the Independent back in 2006 [source: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/the-odd-couples-6104969.html#comments-area]. I wonder if it could be mentioned in the article.
"CONDOLEEZZA RICE AND JASPER CARROTT
An odd pairing, perhaps, between the bug-eyed British satirist whose first job was compere of the Boggery Folk Club, Solihull, and the coolly super-competent Secretary of State in the Bush administration, but their liaison was, by all accounts, fiery and mutually enriching. They met in 1975 in Rice's birthplace, Birmingham, Alabama, during a "twinning weekend" in which citizens from other Birminghams were welcomed and invited to set up cultural exchanges. Midlands-born Carrott, 30, had just released his first single Funky Moped and was touring the southern states. Rice was 21, and recently graduated in political science from the University of Denver. At their first meeting, Rice introduced herself with the words, "I'm Condoleezza," to which Carrott reportedly replied "My condolences." Their friendship grew through music (he played guitar, she the piano) and a shared interest in politics. They renewed their acquaintance in 1976 when Rice travelled to Carrott's Birmingham. Together they appeared together in a production of The Mikado in Wolverhampton. The response was mixed, and racist ill-feeling was held to blame for some poor reviews. Carrott defused the situation by commenting: "This isn't a race issue, folks. It's just a Rice issue!" In his autobiography, 24 Carrott Gold, he paid tribute to his former girlfriend: "I'd never met anybody like her - so fiery, ambitious and gung-ho, but with a sweet, sensitive, artistic nature underneath it all. And believe me, she was a ferocious kisser.""  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adambisset (talk • contribs) 22:55, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
