I PERSONALLY TVOKIDS, I BET YOU’RE…
(Doorbell notification)
Matt says, OH, OH!
I, WE GOT AN EMAIL.
Matt grabs the iPad.
He says, OKAY.
LET'S SEE.
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, IT'S
TIME FOR –
A male announcer slowly says, WE NEED TO KNOW!
A megaphone projects text that reads, we need to know. The treehouse shakes. Matt loses his balances and laughs.
Matt says, WOAH!
WE DEFINITELY NEED TO KNOW AND
WE’VE GOT A QUESTION HERE FROM
AVA AGE 8.
LET'S SEE.
Matt reads out a question.
He says, IS IT TRUE THAT CARROTS REALLY
HELP YOU SEE BETTER?
FROM AVA AGE 8.
OKAY.
LET'S FIND OUT.
In a video, a male narrator says, IT'S TRUE.
CARROTS ARE RICH IN VITAMIN A
WHICH HELPS KEEP YOUR EYES
HEALTHY.
A girl wearing glasses holds a carrot. She gives a thumbs up.
The narrator says, BUT SO ARE MANY OTHER FOODS LIKE
ASPARAGUS, APRICOTS, SWEET
POTATOES, SPINACH AND RED
PEPPERS.
A man juggles two red peppers between his hands.
The narrator says, SO, EATING A WELL BALANCED DIET WILL
PROVIDE YOU WITH THE VITAMIN A
NEEDED FOR GOOD VISION.
A girl lifts a bushel of carrots in a garden.
The narrator says, BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT NOT ALL
CARROTS ARE ORANGE?
THEY ALSO COME IN PURPLE, RED,
WHITE AND YELLOW.
CARROTS ARE ALSO NATURALLY SWEET
AND HIGH IN FIBRE AND MAKE THE
PERFECT CRUNCHY SNACK.
Half a carrot is sliced in half.
The narrator says, YOU CAN SLICE THEM INTO STICKS
AND EAT THEM WITH YOUR FAVOURITE
DIP.
BUT IF YOU DON'T LIKE CRUNCHY
CARROTS YOU CAN STEAM, BOIL OR
ROAST THEM.
A girl takes a carrot from a dish with a fork.
The narrator says, YOU CAN EAT THEM AS A TASTY SIDE
DISH.
HOW ABOUT CARROTS FOR DESSERT?
CARROT CAKE IS ONE OF THE MOST
POPULAR BIRTHDAY CAKES IN
SWITZERLAND AND IT'S BEEN AROUND
SINCE THE MIDDLE AGES WHEN SUGAR
AND SWEETENERS WERE EXPENSIVE.
AND PEOPLE USED CARROTS AS A
SUBSTITUTE FOR SUGAR.
A carrot is grated.
The narrator says, WHETHER IT'S A SNACK, A SIDE
DISH OR DESSERT ONE THING IS FOR
SURE CARROTS ARE AMONG THE MOST
POPULAR VEGETABLES IN NORTH
AMERICA.
A boy takes a bite from a carrot.
(Crunch)
(Funky music plays)
A boy in a blue shirt dances.
Text reads, Gabe.
Gabe asks, WANT TO GIVE YOUR FRIENDS OR
FAMILY A GOOD SCARE?
WELL, HERE IS A SIMPLE AND
SNEAKY PRANK THAT WILL KNOCK
THEIR SOCKS OFF.
WHOO!
On a table in front of Gabe are a pair of sandals and some dirty looking carrots.
Gabe says, FOR THIS PRANK YOU’LL NEED.
A PAIR OF SANDALS AND TEN CARROTS.
I SUGGEST USING SOME OLD
CARROTS.
THESE CARROTS HAVE OBVIOUSLY
SEEN BETTER DAYS.
FIRST UP.
ARRANGE THE CARROTS IN THE
SANDALS SO THE BIGGEST CARROT IS
WHERE THE BIG TOE WOULD BE AND
THE SMALLEST CARROT IS WHERE THE
PINKY WOULD BE.
Gabe arranges the carrots in the sandals.
He says, NOW WE WAIT.
(Ticking clock)
(Alarm ringing)
Gabe calls, MAX!
A hand passes Gabe a white toy poodle.
Gabe says, OH THANK YOU.
Gabe takes the toy poodle and pets its head.
Gabe says, MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
A boy wears a suit and tie with glasses. He approaches the sandals with carrot toes sticking out from behind a curtain
The boy says, DA, DA, DA, DA, DA.
He notices the sandals.
He says, DA!
CARROT TOES!
WAIT A SEC!
The boy lifts the curtain up from the sandals.
He says, UGH!
He slams his hand on the table.
He says, I CARROT BELIEVE I FELL FOR IT!
(Jazz music plays)
Over a view of the Toronto waterline at night, text reads, this is not a talk show. A yellow star spins behind the word not, which is written in red.
A male announcer says, THIS IS NOT A TALKSHOW.
Back in the tree fort, Matt wears a suit jacket.
Matt says, HELLO AND WELCOME TO THIS IS
NOT A TALK SHOW.
I’M YOUR HOST MATT.
AND TODAY WE HAVE A VERY, VERY
SPECIAL GUEST HERE IN THE TREE
FORT, THE ONE, AND ONLY, CARROT.
(Applause)
Carrot stands on a make-shift desk that Matt sits behind. To the left in a box is a blue slide with three stars on it.
Carrot says, HEY, THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
WOAH!
Carrot waves to Matt.
Matt says, HEY!
CARROT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING LITERALLY ON THE DESK
TODAY.
IT REALLY IS AN HONOUR TO HAVE
YOU HERE.
AND, UH, I GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS
FOR YOU.
ARE YOU READY?
Carrot says, YEAH, HIT ME WITH ‘EM.
Matt says, ALRIGHT, THE TVOKIDS WANT TO
KNOW WHY SHOULD THEY VOTE FOR
YOU, IN THE UPCOMING VEGGIE
ELECTION.
Carrot says, TVOKIDS, YOU SHOULD VOTE
FOR ME BECAME I AM THE PEOPLE'S
VEGETABLE.
I’M THERE FOR WHATEVER YOU
NEED.
I ACCOMMODATE YOU.
DO YOU LIKE SOFT FOOD?
SOFT BABY CARROTS.
DO YOU LIKE CRUNCHY FOOD?
PUT ‘EM IN SOME SPRING ROLLS.
I AM THERE FOR YOU AND YOUR
DIETARY NEEDS.
Matt says, MMM, VERY CONVINCING
INDEED.
WHAT'S YOUR PLAN IF YOU WIN?
Carrot says, UH I HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT PLAN
OF ACTIONS, PART OF THE CARROT
ACTION PLAN OF 2021.
Matt nods.
Carrot says, THE FIRST THING THAT I WOULD DO
IS PLANT A CARROT FOR EVERY
SINGLE TVOKID WHO VOTES FOR ME.
I MAY EAT THEM.
I MAY SHARE THEM BUT I WILL
PLANT ONE FOR EVERY SINGLE
PERSON WHO VOTES.
Matt says, A CARROT WHO EATS
OTHER CARROTS.
KIND OF CONCERNING IF YOU ASK
ME.
MY FINAL QUESTION FOR YOU IS, DO
YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL TALENTS?
Carrot says, I DO ACTUALLY.
IT'S, IT’S A LITTLE NICHE BUT I PLAY
INVISIBLE INSTRUMENTS.
YOU WANT TO HEAR SOMETHING?
Matt says, UH, I THINK I DO.
LET'S FIND OUT.
Carrot says, ALRIGHT.
WELL I BROUGHT MY SAXOPHONE.
ALL RIGHT.
HIT IT!
(Mellow music plays)
Carrot plays the invisible saxophone. Matt sways to the music.
Matt says, HEY!
OKAY, CARROT.
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT.
(Saxophone music plays)
Matt says, OOH!
Matt sways and smiles.
Carrot says, ALRIGHT YOUR TURN.
HERE.
Carrot tosses her invisible saxophone. Matt catches it and starts to play the carrot sized instrument in his hands.
(Saxophone music plays)
Carrot dances to the music. Matt holds out the saxophone.
Carrot says, ALL RIGHT I'LL TAKE IT BACK.
Carrot plays her saxophone. Matt dances.
Carrot says, OH, WE’RE GROOVIN'!
Matt says, NOW WHO DOESN'T LOVE A
MULTI-TALENTED MAYOR?
Carrot says, ONE MORE TIME, HERE YOU GO.
Carrot tosses the saxophone back to Matt but instead his hands drop to the table and his hands move as if he were playing a keyboard.
(Keyboard music plays)
Carrot says, OH IT’S A KEYBOARD NOW, CHECK IT OUT.
Matt says, OH IT’S A PIANO NOW.
Carrot dances to the music. Matt smiles as he plays.
Matt says, GOTTA LOVE INVISIBLE
INSTRUMENTS, TVOKIDS.
Matt and Carrot laugh.
Matt says, BECAUSE
THEY CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT
THEM TO BE.
Matt laughs. He stops playing the invisible keyboard and the music stops.
(Applause)
He says, OKAY.
I GOT TO ADMIT, CARROT, THAT
WAS – THAT’S PRETTY FUN.
Carrot laughs.
She says, THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR JAMMING WITH ME.
Matt says, THAT WAS PRETTY FUN.
Matt points.
He says, BUT FLASHY SHOWMANSHIP IS NOT
GONNA CONVINCE OUR DISCERNING
TVOKIDS VOTERS AND SPEAKING OF
DISCERNING TVOKIDS VOTERS
WE HAVE AMELIJA HERE STILL
WITH US.
AMELIJA, ARE YOU THERE?
Amelija’s voice says, YEAH.
Carrot says, HEY AMELIJA.
Matt says, ALRIGHT, LET'S HEAR THAT
QUESTION.
Text reads, Amelija, age 7.
Amelija asks, SO, WHY DO CARROTS COME IN
ORANGE AND WHAT MAKES THEM THEIR
COLOUR?
Matt says, WHY DO CARROTS COME
IN ORANGE, AND WHAT MAKES THEM
THEIR COLOUR?
CARROT, WHAT’S YOUR RESPONSE?
Carrot says, WELL, ACTUALLY, CARROTS ARE
MADE OUT OF KERATIN, WHICH
GIVES THEM THEIR ORANGE COLOUR.
I KNOW EARLIER YOU SAID THAT,
CARROTS ARE REALLY CRUNCHY
AND YOU KNOW, WANNA KNOW
WHY THEY ARE VERY CRUNCHY?
BECAUSE OF
THEIR MOLECULAR STRUCTURE.
THEY’RE SUPER STRONG BECAUSE
THEY’RE SHAPED LIKE HONEYCOMBS
LIKE BEES IN THEIR REALLY STRONG
HIVES.
Matt nods.
Carrot says, SO IF YOU EVER ARE WONDERING HMM
THIS IS A REALLY CRUNCHY CARROT.
WHY IS IT SO CRUNCHY?
IT’S BECAUSE OF THE HONEYCOMBS.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR
VOTE AND EXERCISING YOUR CIVIL
DUTY TO VOTE FOR THIS CARROT
ELECTION.
AMELIJA, YOU ARE THE BEST AND WE
LOVE YOUR GRANDMA FOR MAKING
SOME CARROT JUICE AND APPLE.
Matt laughs.

Matt grabs the iPad.
He says, OKAY.

WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, IT'S

A male announcer slowly says, WE NEED TO KNOW!
A megaphone projects text that reads, we need to know. The treehouse shakes. Matt loses his balances and laughs.
Matt says, WOAH!
WE DEFINITELY NEED TO KNOW AND
WE’VE GOT A QUESTION HERE FROM
AVA AGE 8.
LET'S SEE.
Matt reads out a question.
He says, IS IT TRUE THAT CARROTS REALLY
HELP YOU SEE BETTER?
FROM AVA AGE 8.
OKAY.
LET'S FIND OUT.
In a video, a male narrator says, IT'S TRUE.
CARROTS ARE RICH IN VITAMIN A
WHICH HELPS KEEP YOUR EYES
HEALTHY.
A girl wearing glasses holds a carrot. She gives a thumbs up.
The narrator says, BUT SO ARE MANY OTHER FOODS LIKE
ASPARAGUS, APRICOTS, SWEET
POTATOES, SPINACH AND RED
PEPPERS.
A man juggles two red peppers between his hands.
The narrator says, SO, EATING A WELL BALANCED DIET WILL
PROVIDE YOU WITH THE VITAMIN A
NEEDED FOR GOOD VISION.
A girl lifts a bushel of carrots in a garden.
The narrator says, BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT NOT ALL
CARROTS ARE ORANGE?
THEY ALSO COME IN PURPLE, RED,
WHITE AND YELLOW.
CARROTS ARE ALSO NATURALLY SWEET
AND HIGH IN FIBRE AND MAKE THE
PERFECT CRUNCHY SNACK.
Half a carrot is sliced in half.
The narrator says, YOU CAN SLICE THEM INTO STICKS
AND EAT THEM WITH YOUR FAVOURITE
DIP.
BUT IF YOU DON'T LIKE CRUNCHY
CARROTS YOU CAN STEAM, BOIL OR
ROAST THEM.
A girl takes a carrot from a dish with a fork.
The narrator says, YOU CAN EAT THEM AS A TASTY SIDE
DISH.
HOW ABOUT CARROTS FOR DESSERT?
CARROT CAKE IS ONE OF THE MOST
POPULAR BIRTHDAY CAKES IN
SWITZERLAND AND IT'S BEEN AROUND
SINCE THE MIDDLE AGES WHEN SUGAR
AND SWEETENERS WERE EXPENSIVE.
AND PEOPLE USED CARROTS AS A
SUBSTITUTE FOR SUGAR.
A carrot is grated.
The narrator says, WHETHER IT'S A SNACK, A SIDE
DISH OR DESSERT ONE THING IS FOR
SURE CARROTS ARE AMONG THE MOST
POPULAR VEGETABLES IN NORTH
AMERICA.
A boy takes a bite from a carrot.
(Crunch)
(Funky music plays)
A boy in a blue shirt dances.
Text reads, Gabe.
Gabe asks, WANT TO GIVE YOUR FRIENDS OR
FAMILY A GOOD SCARE?
WELL, HERE IS A SIMPLE AND
SNEAKY PRANK THAT WILL KNOCK
THEIR SOCKS OFF.
WHOO!
On a table in front of Gabe are a pair of sandals and some dirty looking carrots.
Gabe says, FOR THIS PRANK YOU’LL NEED.
A PAIR OF SANDALS AND TEN CARROTS.
I SUGGEST USING SOME OLD
CARROTS.
THESE CARROTS HAVE OBVIOUSLY
SEEN BETTER DAYS.
FIRST UP.
ARRANGE THE CARROTS IN THE
SANDALS SO THE BIGGEST CARROT IS
WHERE THE BIG TOE WOULD BE AND
THE SMALLEST CARROT IS WHERE THE
PINKY WOULD BE.
Gabe arranges the carrots in the sandals.
He says, NOW WE WAIT.
(Ticking clock)
(Alarm ringing)
Gabe calls, MAX!
A hand passes Gabe a white toy poodle.
Gabe says, OH THANK YOU.
Gabe takes the toy poodle and pets its head.
Gabe says, MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
A boy wears a suit and tie with glasses. He approaches the sandals with carrot toes sticking out from behind a curtain
The boy says, DA, DA, DA, DA, DA.
He notices the sandals.
He says, DA!
CARROT TOES!
WAIT A SEC!
The boy lifts the curtain up from the sandals.
He says, UGH!
He slams his hand on the table.
He says, I CARROT BELIEVE I FELL FOR IT!
(Jazz music plays)
Over a view of the Toronto waterline at night, text reads, this is not a talk show. A yellow star spins behind the word not, which is written in red.
A male announcer says, THIS IS NOT A TALKSHOW.
Back in the tree fort, Matt wears a suit jacket.
Matt says, HELLO AND WELCOME TO THIS IS
NOT A TALK SHOW.
I’M YOUR HOST MATT.
AND TODAY WE HAVE A VERY, VERY
SPECIAL GUEST HERE IN THE TREE
FORT, THE ONE, AND ONLY, CARROT.
(Applause)
Carrot stands on a make-shift desk that Matt sits behind. To the left in a box is a blue slide with three stars on it.
Carrot says, HEY, THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
WOAH!
Carrot waves to Matt.
Matt says, HEY!
CARROT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING LITERALLY ON THE DESK
TODAY.
IT REALLY IS AN HONOUR TO HAVE
YOU HERE.
AND, UH, I GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS
FOR YOU.
ARE YOU READY?
Carrot says, YEAH, HIT ME WITH ‘EM.
Matt says, ALRIGHT, THE TVOKIDS WANT TO
KNOW WHY SHOULD THEY VOTE FOR
YOU, IN THE UPCOMING VEGGIE
ELECTION.
Carrot says, TVOKIDS, YOU SHOULD VOTE
FOR ME BECAME I AM THE PEOPLE'S
VEGETABLE.
I’M THERE FOR WHATEVER YOU
NEED.
I ACCOMMODATE YOU.
DO YOU LIKE SOFT FOOD?
SOFT BABY CARROTS.
DO YOU LIKE CRUNCHY FOOD?
PUT ‘EM IN SOME SPRING ROLLS.
I AM THERE FOR YOU AND YOUR
DIETARY NEEDS.
Matt says, MMM, VERY CONVINCING
INDEED.
WHAT'S YOUR PLAN IF YOU WIN?
Carrot says, UH I HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT PLAN
OF ACTIONS, PART OF THE CARROT
ACTION PLAN OF 2021.
Matt nods.
Carrot says, THE FIRST THING THAT I WOULD DO
IS PLANT A CARROT FOR EVERY
SINGLE TVOKID WHO VOTES FOR ME.
I MAY EAT THEM.
I MAY SHARE THEM BUT I WILL
PLANT ONE FOR EVERY SINGLE
PERSON WHO VOTES.
Matt says, A CARROT WHO EATS
OTHER CARROTS.
KIND OF CONCERNING IF YOU ASK
ME.
MY FINAL QUESTION FOR YOU IS, DO
YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL TALENTS?
Carrot says, I DO ACTUALLY.
IT'S, IT’S A LITTLE NICHE BUT I PLAY
INVISIBLE INSTRUMENTS.
YOU WANT TO HEAR SOMETHING?
Matt says, UH, I THINK I DO.
LET'S FIND OUT.
Carrot says, ALRIGHT.
WELL I BROUGHT MY SAXOPHONE.
ALL RIGHT.
HIT IT!
(Mellow music plays)
Carrot plays the invisible saxophone. Matt sways to the music.
Matt says, HEY!
OKAY, CARROT.
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT.
(Saxophone music plays)
Matt says, OOH!
Matt sways and smiles.
Carrot says, ALRIGHT YOUR TURN.
HERE.
Carrot tosses her invisible saxophone. Matt catches it and starts to play the carrot sized instrument in his hands.
(Saxophone music plays)
Carrot dances to the music. Matt holds out the saxophone.
Carrot says, ALL RIGHT I'LL TAKE IT BACK.
Carrot plays her saxophone. Matt dances.
Carrot says, OH, WE’RE GROOVIN'!
Matt says, NOW WHO DOESN'T LOVE A
MULTI-TALENTED MAYOR?
Carrot says, ONE MORE TIME, HERE YOU GO.
Carrot tosses the saxophone back to Matt but instead his hands drop to the table and his hands move as if he were playing a keyboard.
(Keyboard music plays)
Carrot says, OH IT’S A KEYBOARD NOW, CHECK IT OUT.
Matt says, OH IT’S A PIANO NOW.
Carrot dances to the music. Matt smiles as he plays.
Matt says, GOTTA LOVE INVISIBLE
INSTRUMENTS, TVOKIDS.
Matt and Carrot laugh.
Matt says, BECAUSE
THEY CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT
THEM TO BE.
Matt laughs. He stops playing the invisible keyboard and the music stops.
(Applause)
He says, OKAY.
I GOT TO ADMIT, CARROT, THAT
WAS – THAT’S PRETTY FUN.
Carrot laughs.
She says, THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR JAMMING WITH ME.
Matt says, THAT WAS PRETTY FUN.
Matt points.
He says, BUT FLASHY SHOWMANSHIP IS NOT
GONNA CONVINCE OUR DISCERNING
TVOKIDS VOTERS AND SPEAKING OF
DISCERNING TVOKIDS VOTERS
WE HAVE AMELIJA HERE STILL
WITH US.
AMELIJA, ARE YOU THERE?
Amelija’s voice says, YEAH.
Carrot says, HEY AMELIJA.
Matt says, ALRIGHT, LET'S HEAR THAT
QUESTION.
Text reads, Amelija, age 7.
Amelija asks, SO, WHY DO CARROTS COME IN
ORANGE AND WHAT MAKES THEM THEIR
COLOUR?
Matt says, WHY DO CARROTS COME
IN ORANGE, AND WHAT MAKES THEM
THEIR COLOUR?
CARROT, WHAT’S YOUR RESPONSE?
Carrot says, WELL, ACTUALLY, CARROTS ARE
MADE OUT OF KERATIN, WHICH
GIVES THEM THEIR ORANGE COLOUR.
I KNOW EARLIER YOU SAID THAT,
CARROTS ARE REALLY CRUNCHY
AND YOU KNOW, WANNA KNOW
WHY THEY ARE VERY CRUNCHY?
BECAUSE OF
THEIR MOLECULAR STRUCTURE.
THEY’RE SUPER STRONG BECAUSE
THEY’RE SHAPED LIKE HONEYCOMBS
LIKE BEES IN THEIR REALLY STRONG
HIVES.
Matt nods.
Carrot says, SO IF YOU EVER ARE WONDERING HMM
THIS IS A REALLY CRUNCHY CARROT.
WHY IS IT SO CRUNCHY?
IT’S BECAUSE OF THE HONEYCOMBS.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR
VOTE AND EXERCISING YOUR CIVIL
DUTY TO VOTE FOR THIS CARROT
ELECTION.
AMELIJA, YOU ARE THE BEST AND WE
LOVE YOUR GRANDMA FOR MAKING
