Comedian Larry David ATTACKS Elmo on live TV and jokes 'someone had to do it!'- but later apologizes after being told he's 'gone too far this time'

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 2, 2024
Larry David surprised the hosts of NBC's Today show when he crashed their set and screamed at Elmo on live television before being asked to apologize for his Sesame Street character. On Thursday morning, the Curb Your Enthusiasm star, 76, and Elmo were scheduled to have separate interviews, with Elmo appearing on stage with hosts Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Craig Melvin. All was going well until Larry, who barred the hosts from asking questions about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, strolled on stage and proceeded to grab Elmo's face and yell with yells at him, much to the hosts' surprise.

Captain Sully reunites with NYPD diving crews who saved passengers floating in freezing river 15 years after Miracle on the Hudson plane landing

When US Airways Flight 1549 landed on the Hudson River in 2009, Captain Sully was reunited with the scuba drivers who helped him save his passengers. It's been 15 years since 'the Miracle on the Hudson', when Captain Sullenberger's plane collided with a flock of birds and had to make an emergency landing. Sullenberger had only been on the air for 100 seconds when he had to make a quick decision on how to save his passengers without sufficient time to land safely in New York or across the river in New Jersey. 'It turned out we didn't have enough altitude or speed to either return to LaGuardia or to cross the river to Teterboro, New Jersey,' he told NBC's TODAY.' It's thanks to Captain Sully and the NYPD Scuba Crew's heroic rescue efforts that every single passenger on the flight survived the traumatic crash.

When wearing a pair of dark sunglasses on Wednesday's episode of The Today Show, Zac Efron raised concern when he appeared alongside the cast of The Iron Claw. The actor, 36, took a minute to explain why he was wearing shades inside before promoting his latest venture, alongside co-stars Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, and Stanley Simons on NBC's morning news show. 'I feel weird being in shades! I just have a little bit of an eye infection,' he told host Craig Melvin. "I really wanted to be here," says the author. It's such a good film, and I want to come see you guys and tell everyone about it.' The High School Musical star from San Luis Obispo, California, managed to conceal any evidence of his illness behind his black glasses, as well as hiding his expressions when he appeared on the daily live broadcast.
