The 66-year-old actor shared a photo with Carrot Top and Ray Romano and called the former his “beautiful, talented friend.”

“Oh my beautiful, talented friend @carrottoplive. We’re ALL thanking our lucky stars that you’re OK. Please take this time to remember how appreciated and loved you are by so many.”

“We’re here for you. We need you OK. YOU need you OK. Whatever it takes, we’re here for you. You’re getting a second chance for a reason. Use it wisely. We need folks like you around. Show yourself grace. We love you.”
Carrot Top’s suicide attempt came amid his ongoing legal row with Brian Evans
Carrot Top was taken to a hospital in Las Vegas on September 18, 2026, after allegedly attempting suicide. The news came amid the longtime performer’s mounting legal disputes with his former opening act Brian Evans. In Brian’s court filing, made in federal court in Florida, he alleged that Carrot Top sent him an unsolicited sexually explicit video depicting which included the comedian engaging in a sexual act with a younger man.
The legal row reportedly led to Brian’s mental health deterioration. He claimed he decided to resolve the conflict after Carrot assured him he would get future entertainment opportunities. The promise, he says, was never fulfilled.
We wish Carrot Top a speedy recovery.
