Carrot Top Hospitalized in Las Vegas, Show Canceled

Comedian Carrot Top was hospitalized in Las Vegas on Friday, September 19, 2026, following a reported suicide attempt, leading to the cancellation of his scheduled show at the Luxor hotel. The entertainer, whose real name is Scott Christopher Thompson, is 61 years old. His representative, Jami Schlicher, confirmed the hospitalization in a statement but did not specify the cause. "Mr. Thompson is recovering in the hospital and is receiving the care and support he needs," Schlicher said. "His family and those closest to him are deeply grateful for the concern, prayers and respectfully ask for privacy." The hospitalization occurred just hours before Thompson was set to perform at the Luxor, where he has held a residency since 2005. The venue confirmed the show's cancellation. Thompson's residency is noted as the longest-running in Las Vegas. The incident comes as Thompson faces ongoing legal troubles. A civil dispute in Broward County, Florida, involves allegations of explicit conduct. The legal battle began with a lawsuit from singer Brian Evans, who challenged a prior settlement agreement. That federal case was dismissed in August, but the matter continues in state court.
