Carrot Top Released From Hospital Following Mental Health Crisis

The Vegas prop comic is out of the hospital a week after a serious incident.

Carrot Top—the Las Vegas fixture known for his wild prop-based comedy—has been released from the hospital after being admitted following a suicide attempt last week. His rep confirmed he's no longer receiving inpatient care.

The comedian, born Scott Thompson, has been a staple of the Vegas strip for decades, building a dedicated fanbase around his high-energy, visual brand of humor. Mental health crises don't discriminate—they touch entertainers just like anyone else. The fact that he's getting help and is now out of acute care is the right move.

There's no word yet on his next steps or when he might return to performing. Right now, the focus should be on recovery and whatever support he needs moving forward. Hopefully this moment opens up real conversations about the pressure and isolation that comes with the performance game, no matter how long you've been in it.

Wishing him well.
