Police were reportedly seen outside Carrot Top’s Las Vegas home on Saturday morning, one day after the comedian was said to have attempted suicide.
The 61-year-old performer, whose real name is Scott Christopher Thompson, reportedly tried to take his own life on Friday, only hours before he was due to appear at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, according to TMZ.
Sources said the incident occurred somewhere in the Las Vegas area and that Thompson was taken to a nearby hospital. His comedy performance that night was later canceled.
An eyewitness told TMZ they saw three police vehicles parked outside Thompson’s Las Vegas residence on Saturday and supplied photographs of the scene to the outlet.
Sources later claimed that Thompson’s scheduled Luxor show on Saturday night had also been canceled while he remained hospitalized.
Thompson’s representative, Jami Schlicher, did not confirm the circumstances surrounding his hospitalization. In a statement issued Friday, she said only that he was receiving “the care and support he needs.”
The Daily Mail has contacted Thompson’s representative for additional comment.

Schlicher said Friday: “Mr. Thompson is recovering in the hospital and is receiving the care and support he needs. His family and those closest to him are deeply grateful for the concern, prayers and respectfully ask for privacy.”
Thompson’s most recent social media post was published Thursday, when he promoted his Friday night performance.
He shared a 2018 poster showing himself beside an orange utility terrain vehicle, captioning the image: “Just your average Thursday commute to the Luxor. TBT.”
After news of his hospitalization emerged, fans filled the post’s comments with messages of support and well wishes.
“You’re loved more than you know. You’re special & the world is more beautiful with you in it. Sending love & hope your way,” one person wrote.
Another fan commented: “Scott we love you dude. Praying for you. ❤️”
A third person added: “Just heard sad news. Hope you’re gonna be OK dude. Saw you last December and plan on bringing another friend next trip to LV to see you again. You are hella adored and hope you really know that. Truth.”

Thompson, who is known for his energetic prop-comedy routines, became widely recognized during the 1990s.
Almost a year ago, in November 2025, fans expressed concern after he was photographed appearing disheveled at a Las Vegas grocery store.

An insider later commented to the Daily Mail, ‘He didn’t ever think he was going to be photographed shopping, so he let his guard down – [he was] not in any makeup or anything.’
In a 2022 interview with Metal Life Magazine, Thompson spoke about his clean lifestyle.
He insisted, ‘I’m completely sober. I don’t smoke marijuana and I never have. I don’t think I have been drunk since high school, literally.
‘I have friends like Gene Simmons, he’s never had a drop of booze – zero. I’m not that pure. I definitely have a little Crown on the rocks right before a show.’
After a show, he said he comes home, watches TV and has a ‘glass of red wine.’
‘I’m definitely not the drug guy. I’m actually more of a nerd than anything else,’ he told the outlet.
This past July, Radar Online reported that Thompson was being sued by singer Brian Evans, who accused him of sending an unprompted sexually explicit video.
And earlier this month, a second accuser came forward to back Evans’s claims and share his own story, according to the outlet.
