Carrot Top’s Monday night performance at the Luxor in Las Vegas has been cancelled as the comedian remains hospitalized and continues receiving medical care.

The 61-year-old comedian’s scheduled Monday show was called off following his hospitalization, according to reports. His Saturday night performance at the Las Vegas casino had also been cancelled as he continued to receive care.

Carrot Top was taken to a local Las Vegas hospital on Friday following a reported suicide attempt. Details about his condition have not been publicly disclosed, and his representatives have not provided further information about his recovery.

His next scheduled performance at the Luxor is currently set for Wednesday night. It remains unclear whether that show will go ahead, depending on the comedian’s condition and ongoing care.

The cancellations affect Carrot Top’s Las Vegas residency, where the comedian has regularly performed his prop comedy show at the Luxor. Further updates regarding his upcoming performances are expected as more information becomes available.

Carrot Top, whose real name is Scott Thompson, has been performing professionally for decades and is known for his distinctive prop-based comedy. His Las Vegas shows have been a major part of his career in recent years.
