Carrot Top shared a heartfelt statement on his Instagram page on Saturday, nearly a month after his suicide attempt.
The comedian and longtime Vegas performer, whose real name is Scott Thompson, was hospitalized on September 18, closing his Vegas show indefinitely. He will return to the stage at the Atrium Showroom in Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Monday, Oct. 19 to a sold out crowd.
Thompson, 61, took to Instagram on Saturday to share his gratitude for all the messages and love he’s received over the past month.
“I’m truly overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, support, prayers, and well wishes I’ve received over the past couple of weeks. Every message, text, and kind thought has meant more to me than you know,” he wrote in his IG post. “While I haven’t been able to respond to everyone individually, please know that I’ve felt your love and appreciate each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for being there for me during this time. It truly means the world to me!”
Many took to the comments to share more kind sentiments with the comedian.
“The world is too dark to be without you,” one fan wrote. Another said, “All I’ve seen online about you lately has been people’s love for you. Please know the world has your back!” Fellow comedian Howie Mandel shared a simple, “Love you buddy,” and actor and comedian Brad Garrett said, “We love you!!! Welcome back!!”
Jami Schlicher, Carrot Top’s rep, released a statement during his recovery in the hospital.
“Mr. Thompson is recovering in the hospital and is receiving the care and support he needs,” Schlicher shared. “His family and those closest to him are deeply grateful for the concern, prayers, and respectfully ask for privacy.”
According to Page Six, Ronnie Bitman, Thompson’s attorney, shared in court filings that the suicide attempt happened after musician Brian Evans allegedly demanded $500,000 in return for a rumored USB with incriminating video involving the comedian.
Evans denied this statement according to TMZ, saying he “never threatened – ever- to post any video anywhere in exchange for a settlement.” He added that “the video they are discussing – as I made very clear – was deleted a long time ago in accordance with the prior settlement.”
Evans also told TMZ that he is “sorry that Scott apparently did something to hurt himself” and he doesn’t “consider Scott to be a bad person,” adding that “he made a few decisions that were not good ones. That is not a reason to hurt himself.”
During an exclusive chat with The Blast in early 2025, Thompson talked about working in comedy for 40 years and calling the Luxor in Las Vegas home for 19 years at that time (now 20).
“It’s just breathtaking to me, I even find it odd when I think about the first time I went on stage and tried to do a joke and 40 years later, I’m still doing it in Vegas and it’s amazing,” he told The Blast. “I think that’s why I think this part of the journey is probably the most fun because you kind of embrace it, stand back and think, oh my God, take it in for a second.”
Forty years in comedy is quite the feat, and Thompson has worked hard to keep the show evolving and changing throughout the years. Advances in technology have helped him continue to evolve the show. Years ago, the video wall behind Carrot Top as he performs just showed his logo, but now, he uses the wall as a visual aid and reference rather than just holding up a prop during some jokes.
“I’ll just point to the screen behind me, and it comes up so they get the joke without me having to go through the whole process of making it and building it,” he told The Blast. “There’s stand-up, visual video wall, props, tons and tons of music, lighting, strobe lights, fog, snow, I mean, I’ve known from day one I didn’t want to be a stand-up comic. I want to be something different. I want to be a rock-and-roll show, yet I want it to be funny, but I want people to think they’re at a rock show.”
According to a press release sent to The Blast, “Legendary comedian and Las Vegas headliner Carrot Top will return to the stage on Monday, Oct. 19, 2026, resuming his award-winning comedy residency at Luxor. Tickets for his upcoming performances are on sale now.”
The press release also shared, “Following a challenging few weeks, Carrot Top is grateful for the outpouring of love and support and excited to return to the Luxor stage. He is doing well, feeling healthy, and looking forward to getting back to what he loves most – making people laugh.”
After a month of canceled shows, Carrot Top returns to the Atrium Showroom on Monday, Oct. 19 at 8 p.m. for his first show back, which is sold out. There are performances scheduled from Monday through Saturday at 8 p.m. each night. Tickets are currently on sale at www.CarrotTop.com.
