The "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star explained why he lost his cool on the Muppet in an appearance on the "Today" show.
Larry David isn’t backing down from his frustration with Elmo after he attacked the Muppet during a live segment on the “Today” show Thursday.
The “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star, in an interview on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” explained why he “throttled” Elmo much to the shock of the “Today” show hosts earlier in the day.
“Yeah, yeah, I did it,” said David, who was initially hesitant to discuss the wild on-air moment.
“Elmo was talking, OK? I was waiting to be interviewed and Elmo was – he was going on about mental health and I had to listen to every word and I was going ‘oh my God, oh my God, I don’t think I could take another second of this.’”
The beloved red monster appeared on the “Today” show after “checking in” with social media users in a viral post on X earlier in the week.
