Inviting someone to impersonate Donald Trump on stage during an election night performance may seem risky, but for Scott Thompson, also known as Carrot Top, and John Di Domenico, it was a winning move. Di Domenico, who occasionally portrays Trump, joined Carrot Top at Luxor’s Atrium Showroom for the fourth time to the delight of the audience.
Carrot Top described the bit as hilarious and praised Di Domenico for his spot-on portrayal of Trump. The routine included a humorous exchange where Di Domenico, dressed as Trump, claimed his shift at McDonald’s was over, much to the amusement of the crowd.
Despite the ongoing tabulation of election results, Carrot Top was confident that the comedic sketch would be a hit, especially since it did not target Kamala Harris. The addition of Howard X, a Kim Jong Un impersonator planted in the audience, added an extra layer of comedy to the performance.
Di Domenico’s Trump impression has garnered laughs from audiences of all political backgrounds, making it a versatile act that appeals to a wide range of viewers. His success extends beyond live performances, as he has appeared on shows like “The Howard Stern Show” and is a sought-after entertainer for corporate events.
While Di Domenico has a repertoire of other impressions, including Austin Powers and Dr. Phil, his Trump act remains a standout. However, at 62 years old, he is eager to be recognized by his own name rather than just for his character portrayals.
Looking ahead, former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman is working on a new memoir, while magician David Blaine is set to perform at Encore Theater for New Year’s Eve weekend. Meanwhile, powerhouse blues vocalist Lara Price will take the stage in VegasVille for two special appearances to support her latest album, “Half & Half.”
As singer Adele prepares to wrap up her residency at the Colosseum, she reaffirms her plans to take a break from performing. With a lineup of exciting events and performances on the horizon, Las Vegas continues to be a hub of entertainment for locals and visitors alike.
