Carrot Top, the well-known prop comedian, was hospitalized in Las Vegas after a reported suicide attempt, according to TMZ. His representative stated that the 61-year-old, whose real name is Scott Thompson, is currently recovering and receiving necessary care. The family has expressed gratitude for the concern shown and requests privacy during this time.
While the report details his hospitalization, no independent verification has been made, and efforts to contact his representative were unsuccessful. Updates on his official Instagram account have not been posted since the incident.
Thompson has been a prominent comedic figure for decades, recognized for his energetic performances, and has maintained a long-running residency at the Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. MGM Resorts expressed relief over his recovery and conveyed support for him during this time.
His latest show was canceled, and he has recently spoken out about the childhood bullying he experienced, as well as facing legal issues, including a claim of sexual exploitation. Additionally, he had a public dispute with fellow comedian Gallagher, who passed away last year.
