Comedian Carrot Top is reportedly recovering at a Las Vegas hospital following a suicide attempt, according to TMZ.
The comedian, whose real name is Scott Thompson, was taken to a local hospital, leading to the cancellation of his Friday night performance at the Luxor.
His representative, Jami Schlicher, released a statement regarding his condition.
“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.”
Thompson, 61, has headlined at the Luxor since November 22, 2005, making his residency the longest-running in Las Vegas. His show is scheduled Monday through Saturday at 8 p.m.
