Larry David Sticks Knife Deeper Into Elmo After ‘Today Show’ Beating: ‘I Would Do It Again!’

Larry David shared his pretty, pretty, pretty good reason for beating up Elmo—and he insists he’d do it again.

In case you missed it, the Curb Your Enthusiasm star appeared on the Today show Thursday morning to talk up the final season of his HBO comedy.
