00:00Oh my gosh, let's just say Elmo is not having the best week. First, the internet trauma dumped
00:08on the Sesame Street icon with his innocent post on X going viral, and now Larry David
00:13attacked the cheerful red puppet on live TV seemingly out of nowhere. The Curb Your Enthusiasm
00:19star was waiting for his upcoming segment to promote his HBO comedy's final season on NBC's
00:24today when he abruptly surprised everyone by walking onto an unrelated live segment featuring
00:30Elmo, grabbing the puppet's face, and essentially pummeling it.
00:37The moment did not seem to be planned given the looks on everyone's faces. After the rather
00:42shocking exchange, Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb joined David for his segment where they
00:47asked the star to apologize.
00:49Go ahead. Say you're sorry.
00:50Elmo.
00:52Larry.
00:52I just want to apologize.
00:55Thank you, Larry.
00:57That's very big of you.
00:58Elmo accepts your apology, Larry.
00:59Elmo's rough week started after simply asking how everyone was doing on social media.
01:04Celebrities, brands, and other users across the platform, including cynics, chimed in with
01:09their problems and despair. There were thousands of replies, and they got so dark that the account
01:14eventually directed users to mental health resources. For more updates to this story, head to THR.com.
