Carrot Top Cancels 2 Luxor Shows After Hospitalization in Las Vegas

Q: After being spotted at a Vegas bar hours before his show, what really led to the sudden hospitalization of comedy legend Carrot Top?

The cause of Carrot Top’s hospitalization has not been officially confirmed. His representative has said only that Scott Thompson is hospitalized, recovering, and receiving care, while asking for privacy. Reports from TMZ and some follow-up outlets say he was taken to a Las Vegas hospital after an alleged suicide attempt. Those reports have been widely repeated, and police were reportedly seen outside his home afterward. But neither his representative nor MGM Resorts has confirmed that account, and no hospital or law-enforcement statement publicly establishing the cause has been released. That means the only verified facts at this point are that Thompson was hospitalized in Las Vegas, his Friday and Saturday Luxor shows were canceled, and he is said to be recovering. The report that he had been seen at a bar earlier Friday does not, by itself, explain why he was later hospitalized. There has also been recent reporting about legal pressure surrounding Thompson, including a civil dispute and fresh allegations made in court filings. However, there is no official evidence publicly linking those matters to his hospitalization, so drawing that connection would be speculative. In short, the “real” reason remains undisclosed in official statements. The strongest public claim is the unconfirmed report of an alleged suicide attempt, but it has not been verified by his camp or authorities.

Friday's hospitalization forced Carrot Top to cancel his scheduled Friday and Saturday performances at Luxor Las Vegas, where he has held a long-running residency.
His representative said Scott Thompson is recovering in the hospital and receiving care, while family members asked for privacy.
MGM Resorts said it was relieved he is recovering and called him a beloved member of the Luxor family; tickets for next week's shows remain on sale.
Thompson has performed in Las Vegas since 2005 and is under contract at Luxor through 2030, making the canceled weekend dates a rare interruption to his residency.
