Comedian Carrot Top was seen publicly for the first time since being hospitalized following what TMZ reported was a suicide attempt in September.
The 61-year-old entertainer was photographed Sunday at St. Joseph, Husband of Mary Roman Catholic Church in Las Vegas.
TMZ reported that Carrot Top appeared to be in good spirits during the outing.
He wore a sky blue shirt and jeans and was seen waiting in line to speak with a priest.
The church appearance came only weeks after the comedian was hospitalized following an incident at his Las Vegas home.
According to TMZ’s earlier reporting, Carrot Top was rushed to the hospital in September after taking a large quantity of pills in what the outlet described as an attempt to take his own life.
He reportedly remained under medical care for several days.
The recent church visit marked his first known public appearance since that hospitalization.
TMZ framed the outing as a possible turn toward faith following the incident.
The comedian’s appearance also comes while he remains involved in a legal dispute with former associate Brian Evans.
That dispute centers on an alleged sexually explicit video involving Carrot Top.
Carrot Top’s attorneys have accused Evans of extortion in connection with the video.
Evans has strongly denied those allegations.
The reported suicide attempt occurred while that legal battle was unfolding.
The source does not establish that the dispute caused the hospitalization, though the timing has drawn attention.
Carrot Top, whose real name is Scott Thompson, has been a longtime fixture in Las Vegas entertainment.
He has spent years performing comedy and maintaining a highly recognizable public persona built around his red hair, physical comedy and prop-heavy routines.
Sunday’s church appearance showed the comedian in a more subdued setting.
He was not seen performing or addressing reporters.
Instead, he was photographed quietly waiting to speak with a priest.
The source does not say whether Carrot Top has publicly discussed the hospitalization or his current condition.
It also does not indicate whether he has returned to performing.
For now, the church visit is the clearest sign that he has begun appearing in public again.
His hospitalization remains a serious part of the recent story surrounding him.
At the same time, the source presents Sunday’s appearance as a hopeful development, showing him outside the hospital and engaging with a faith community.
The legal fight involving Evans also remains unresolved.
Carrot Top’s lawyers continue to maintain that their client was being extorted over the alleged video.
Evans has denied responsibility for the suicide attempt and denied the extortion allegations.
No additional legal outcome was reported in the source.
Carrot Top’s appearance at church now adds a new chapter to a difficult few weeks for the comedian.
After a reported suicide attempt, several days of hospitalization and an ongoing legal dispute, he has now been seen publicly again in Las Vegas.
