"Cringe worthy": Viewers left speechless after star attacks Elmo

<p>Viewers were left shocked after comedian Larry David unexpectedly attacked Elmo during their appearance on the latest episode of the <em>US Today show</em>.</p> <p>The 76-year-old was there to promote the final season of <em>Curb Your Enthusiasm</em>, while Elmo was in the studio alongside his dad Louie to talk about the importance of mental health resources. </p> <p>As the show was transitioning from segment to segment, David walked over to Elmo and smushed his face in before taking a swing at Elmo's dad. </p> <p>The attack caught the show's hosts Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb and Craig Melvin, off-guard and they began shouting at his ill-timed act. </p> <p>“Oh, my gosh, you love Elmo, don’t you?” Guthrie said to David as an equally shocked Melvin exclaimed, “Oh, my God!”</p> <p>While Elmo didn't seem too bothered by the encounter, the 76-year-old was lectured by muppet dad Louie for his strange act. </p> <p>“Ask permission before you touch people, Larry,” Louie said.</p> <p>“Get back on the couch and let’s talk about how you feel,” Elmo added.</p> <p>Guthrie also called out David's inappropriate act and said: “Larry, you’ve gone too far this time." </p> <p>Although the <em>Seinfeld </em>star was later on forced to apologise to the plush duo and Elmo accepted his apology, the situation left many viewers disgruntled, given the topic matter that Elmo was there to discuss. </p> <p>“Larry David ruined a beautiful story,” one person commented on a video of the segment shared to Instagram. </p> <p>“I felt like I was watching Will Smith all over again. Very sad.”</p> <p>“I must say, I was shocked – it was cringe worthy,” another person wrote. </p> <p>“I love Larry David, but he should have stayed seated until his own segment.”</p> <p>“Although you tried to play it off, Larry David totally messed it up … guess no one told him the theme of the segment” a third shocked viewer added.</p> <p><em>Image: US Today Show/ Instagram</em></p>

Larry King's wife Shawn King reveals real cause of his death

<p>Larry King's wife, Shawn King, has revealed his cause of death as well as the final words she spoke to him.</p> <p>The iconic television host passed away over the weekend at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles at the age of 87, leaving behind his three children: Larry Jr, Chance, and Cannon - as well as his wife, Shawn.</p> <p>At the time of his death, no cause of death was given but it was suspected his passing was due to COVID-19 as he was hospitalised with the virus a few weeks prior.</p> <p>But now in a new interview, his wife revealed the broadcaster did not die from coronavirus.</p> <p>“It was an infection, it was sepsis,” Shawn, 61, told<span> </span><em>Entertainment Tonight</em>. “Well, he was finally ready to go, I will tell you that. You know, he never wanted to go but his sweet little body was just, it had just been hit so many times with so many things and once we heard the word COVID, all of our hearts just sunk. But he beat it, you know, he beat it, but it did take its toll and then the unrelated infection finally is what took him, but boy, he was not gonna go down easily.”</p> <p>Shawn said King's mind "wasn't right" and his "body was going", noting it was a difficult thing to witness.</p> <p>During the time of his passing, the actress and King were in the middle of a divorce, with King filing for divorce in August 2019 after 22 years of marriage.</p> <p>She confirmed the pair’s divorce was “never finalised”.</p> <p>“In my heart, I didn’t think it was really going to happen and it never did. We were partners in every sense of the way, in business, and in, well, first in our family and then in business. But we’re a close family. You know, family is the most important thing, and God,” she said.</p> <p>Shawn also touched on King’s final moments in the hospital. She said she and King’s kids were able to FaceTime him.</p> <p>“And it was hard for him to talk, but the one message that he wanted to make sure I heard was, ‘I love you, take care of the boys,’” she said.</p> <p>King's family laid him to rest in a private funeral this week. She said she still feels his strong presence around her.</p> <p>“I can very, very distinctly feel him around me and around us. I’m sure he is so happy at the coverage that his passing has gotten,” she said.</p> <p>“Larry was a little boy in so many ways. And he used to always, you probably have 30 different sound bites of him saying, ‘I pinch myself every day. I can’t believe this is my life.’ And he really, really did.</p> <p>“So all of these beautiful tributes, you know, I’m sure he’s thrilled, and the family, we’re all just so happy and so proud of him for all the wonderful things that he did. He did a lot.”</p> <p>King was married a total of eight times through his life, to seven different women. Shawn was his last marriage and his longest.</p>
