Comedian Carrot Top was hospitalized in Las Vegas, according to multiple reports, and his Friday night show at the Luxor Hotel & Casino was canceled. His representative, Jami Schlicher, told NBC News that the 61-year-old is recovering and “receiving the care and support he needs.” The reason for the hospitalization and his current condition have not been disclosed.
For anyone who has planned a Vegas getaway from the Suncoast, Carrot Top is one of those names you recognize immediately. The red-haired prop comic has held a residency at the Luxor since 2005, making his one of the longest-running headlining shows on the Strip. His social media accounts had posted no statement as of Friday night, and his family and those closest to him are asking for privacy and expressing gratitude for the concern and prayers.
So what should you do if you have tickets? Keep an eye on your email and the Luxor’s show listings for updates on rescheduling or refunds. Canceled shows on short notice usually mean details follow within a day or two. Until then, a longtime Vegas headliner is off the stage, and a lot of fans are pulling for him.
