Carrot Top has been hospitalized in Las Vegas, leading to the cancellation of his shows on Friday, September 18, and Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the Luxor. The comedian’s representative assures that he is recovering and receiving necessary care.
The 61-year-old comedian, whose real name is Scott Thompson, was scheduled to continue his residency at the Luxor Hotel and Casino this weekend. His representative, Jami Schlicher, confirmed his hospitalization and requested that the privacy of his family be respected.
MGM Resorts expressed relief upon learning that the artist is recovering. Ticketmaster’s website listed Saturday’s show as canceled, while subsequent dates remained available for purchase on the afternoon of September 19. However, no timeline for his return has been announced by his team.
TMZ, citing anonymous sources, reported that the hospitalization followed a suicide attempt. Carrot Top’s representative has neither confirmed this account nor specified the nature of the medical emergency. Therefore, this alleged cause cannot be presented as an established fact.
Having been based at the Luxor since 2005, Carrot Top is one of the longest-standing figures in Las Vegas comedy residencies. His show features props, parodies of everyday objects, and a musical montage that traditionally concludes the performance.
He gained fame on American television in the early 1990s, later starring in the film Chairman of the Board and making appearances in the series Scrubs, George Lopez, and Hacks. No further medical details have been disclosed.
