Carrot Top Thanks Fans and Sets a Las Vegas Return

Carrot Top has shared his first public message since being hospitalized in September, thanking supporters and announcing that his long-running Las Vegas show is scheduled to resume on October 19.

The comedian, whose real name is Scott Thompson, wrote that he had been overwhelmed by the messages, prayers and well wishes sent during his recovery. He said he had not been able to answer everyone individually but wanted fans to know that their support had reached him.

A return to the Luxor stage

Alongside the note, Thompson confirmed plans to return to his nightly production at the Luxor Hotel and Casino. He has performed at the Las Vegas resort since 2005, making the show one of the city’s most established comedy residencies.

The announcement comes one month after the 61-year-old entertainer was hospitalized following a suicide attempt on September 18. Reporting at the time said the evening’s performance was canceled. A representative later said he was breathing on his own, improving and surrounded by family and people close to him.

Thompson’s new statement focused on gratitude rather than details about the crisis. He emphasized the emotional impact of the messages he received and paired that acknowledgment with a concrete date for his professional return.

Support meets a careful comeback

The move back to the stage is significant because the Luxor residency has defined much of Carrot Top’s public career. His prop-driven act has made him a familiar fixture on the Strip for more than two decades, with the theater providing a consistent home base even as he continued television appearances and touring work.

His message was met with supportive responses from fans and fellow entertainers. The tone of the announcement kept the focus on recovery, appreciation and reconnecting with an audience that has followed the show for years.

For now, the October 19 performance is the clearest next step he has made public. The return gives supporters a specific update while allowing Thompson to address a deeply personal period on his own terms.
