Story summary

Scott Thompson, better known as Carrot Top, was hospitalized in Las Vegas on Friday after an alleged suicide attempt. The incident occurred before his scheduled comedy performance at the Luxor Hotel & Casino that evening, which was subsequently canceled. Thompson's representative, Jami Schlicher, confirmed to various outlets that he is recovering and receiving care. His upcoming shows for Saturday and Sunday were also canceled due to his hospitalization.

Thompson, 61, has been a longtime headliner in Las Vegas since 2005 and is known for his signature red hair and prop-driven comedy routine. MGM Resorts, the venue's owner, expressed relief over Thompson’s recovery status but did not provide details about the incident. The comedian's next scheduled show at the Luxor is set for September 23rd, though it remains uncertain if he will perform then.
