Watch Larry David Attack Elmo on Live TV on The Today Show! Is Anyone Surprised?

Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David showed up on NBC’s The Today Show to promote his final season of the HBO comedy series, and the most Larry David thing happened on live TV. The comedian attacked Elmo!

David grabbed the Sesame Street character by the head and shook him. As you’ll see in the video the hosts of the show were completely caught off guard, I thought the whole thing was hilarious, but some people didn’t seem too thrilled about it. I’m not surprised that any of this happened! As David walked away from the situation, he said “Somebody had to do it!”

Yeah, David apologized, but as you might imagine, social media is having fun with the whole thing. Check out the video clip below and let us know what you think!
