But Wil Wheaton had a decidedly less jovial take, likening Larry’s antics to a traumatic blast from his childhood past.
“He was always out of control, always in a furious rage, and always terrifying. I’m a 51-year-old man, and my heart is pounding right now, recalling how I felt when I was a little boy who loved Grover the way today’s kids love Elmo.”Elmo is a red Muppet character on the children’s television show Sesame Street. The furry monster speaks in a high-pitched falsetto voice and frequently refers to himself in the third person.
The segment showed Elmo and his father, Louie, chatting with the show’s hosts, Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Craig Melvin, about mental health52-year-old Savannah was seen tossing the program over to Al Roker for his weather segment but was interrupted. “Wait, wait, wait, wait,” 59-year-old Hoda could be heard saying as a dismayed 69-year-old Roker looked off-screen.The camera then cut back to the anchors, who were shocked to see Larry attacking the red furry puppet.
Larry later explained that he had been waiting to be interviewed, and Elmo was “going on about mental health” The quarrel left many people in shock, with social media users grouping to express their anger, as one person wrote on X : “Larry David beat the s–t out of Elmo this morning.
“Elmo and the Muppets teach and model to children all over the world that kindness and empathy aren’t weak or stupid or any of the things people like Larry David and my dad think they are,” Wil explained, and continued: “ strikes me as a person who mocks and belittles people who are vulnerable and sensitive, and enjoys being cruel because he feels untouchable.”
