Carrot Top’s First Public Appearance After Hospitalization Raises A New Question About Faith


Published: Oct 05, 2026 02:31 PM EDT

Carrot Top has been photographed attending church in Las Vegas weeks after a reported suicide attempt led to his hospitalization. The appearance offers a new public glimpse of the comedian following a health crisis that prompted his representative to ask for privacy and thank supporters for their prayers.

According to TMZ's October 5 report, the comedian visited St. Joseph, Husband of Mary Roman Catholic Church on Sunday, October 4. Photographs showed him wearing a light blue shirt and jeans while waiting to speak with a priest.

The church visit introduces a possible faith dimension to the latest coverage, although the photographs alone cannot establish what the occasion meant to him. Neither report includes a statement from Carrot Top explaining his reasons for attending or describing his spiritual beliefs.

The comedian, whose real name is Scott Thompson, was hospitalized in September. At the time, his representative, Jami Schlicher, confirmed that he was receiving care and support, while conveying his family's gratitude for the concern and prayers surrounding him.

"Mr. Thompson is recovering in the hospital and is receiving the care and support he needs," Schlicher told TMZ at the time. That statement concerned his condition during the hospitalization; it should not be read as a current medical update.

For now, the latest development is his reported public appearance at church following the hospital stay. The coverage provides no new medical assessment or explanation from the comedian himself, leaving the significance of the visit-and the next steps in his recovery-for him to share.
