Larry David Addresses Elmo Attack on Today Show: ‘I’d Do It Again!’

Larry David is feeling a little pressure after attacking children’s icon Elmo in Today’s program. However, she does not regret his actions.

It all started when David and Elmo got appearances on the show. David waited backstage to be called to the show. However, he had had enough of the Sesame Street character and appeared in the Elmo segment. He proceeded to punch and grab Elmo by the head, yelling, “Someone had to do it!”

During the show, he later apologized to Elmo for losing his cool. However, Elmo fans everywhere came to his defense and condemned David’s actions. Even T-Pain told David that he better watch his back.

“Elmo, say the word,” the rapper wrote (via People). “I know I didn’t just see Elmo, my man, get assaulted on live TV.” Appearing on Late Night With Seth Meyers, David did little to quell the fires. At first, he tried to avoid the conversation, saying, “I don’t think I want to talk about that,” he deadpanned.

However, Meyers demanded answers: “The clip is circulating online, Larry. You can’t hide from this, Larry. Elmo, some would say, he is loved by everyone”

David then explained himself, often imitating Elmo in the video below.

“Yes, yes. I did,” she said. “Elmo was talking about mental health and I had to listen to every word. And I was like, ‘Oh my God, my God, I don’t think I can handle this one more second!’ And then I got up from the chair, walked over to him and strangled him!

“It’s important to remember that we all have a lot of feelings and that’s okay,” Elmo said on the show. “It’s good to know what you’re feeling and, if you’re feeling sad, worried or confused, to be able to talk to someone you love or trust. And it’s good to talk about it.”

“Emotional well-being is the key,” Louie, Elmo’s father, also added. “It is as important as your physical health. So learn what feelings you have inside and how to name them and healthy ways to express them, well, that’s just part of life. Today you have to go out!

“I couldn’t stand it!” David said, taking back his earlier apology. “And you know what? I’d do it again!”
