Here you go. This is what you all wanted. Everyone that finds Elmo annoying or unnecessary, you have found your champion. Someone will take up your cause and bring the fight to the little red three-year-old whenever he sees him. Elmo will know no peace as long as Larry David walks the Earth.
You may have seen Larry David assault Elmo yesterday. That was no dream. While waiting to be interviewed on the TODAY Show, the star of Curb Your Enthusiasm emerged from the wings to punch and throttle a helpless Elmo. Everyone’s favorite monster took it in stride and would even accept an apology later, but questions needed answers.
Ole Larry sat down with Seth Meyers later that night. Seth looked him dead in the eye and confronted him about attacking a helpless monster. Larry not only doubled down but mocked Elmo’s voice. He even claimed that he would do it again. Are you happy now?!
All jokes aside, I’m surprised they didn’t milk this for more. It is an insane thing to have happened. The writers must have been chomping to take advantage of having a guest who went viral the same day. Instead, Larry addresses it briefly, and they kind of move on. Maybe he was tired of it by that point in the day, or perhaps he was too filled with shame.
