Larry David attacked Elmo on live television and shocked the nation. Now he's explaining why he did it.

Larry David ‘s viral attack on Elmo became the focal point of his visit later in the day to “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” where the host grilled David on answers for what would make a person want to attack the beloved “Sesame Street” character on live television. The reason Elmo was making the press rounds on “Today” in the first place was because he went unexpectedly viral on X (formerly Twitter) after asking his followers a simple question: “How is everybody doing?” The replies that came flooding in were overflowing with existential dread. David has been making his own press rounds for the upcoming 12th and final season of his HBO comedy series “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Watch his full “Late Night” appearance in the video below.
