In 2008, Carrington filmed "Beer for My Horses," which he co-wrote and co-starred in along with country music star Toby Keith. He also appeared in the hit music video by Trace Adkins, "I Got My Game On," which won three awards on the 2008 CMT Music Video Awards, including "Male Video of the Year" and "Video Director of the Year" for Michael Salomon. Carrington won the category "Supporting Character of the Year" for his role.

Carrington has six albums on major labels, all of which maintain coveted spots on the comedy charts. "Greatest Hits" and "Morning Wood" have achieved gold status from the Recording Industry Association of America and Carrington has been a Pollstar Top 100 grossing concert act since 2001.
