Larry David attacked Elmo on the Today Show, and the poor Muppet is having a rough week

Poor Elmo.

First, the little furry monster decided to ask on X (formerly Twitter) how everyone was doing, and everyone chose to respond with a lot of trauma dumping.

Elmo handled it well, as he always does. But then, while appearing on Thursday’s edition of Today, he was just sitting there, minding his own business … when fellow guest Larry David decided to walk over to the Muppet and clamp his mouth angrily.

I guess David was trying to do a bit of some sort? But people on X were mad at the Curb Your Enthusiasm star, as you’ll see below:
