He writes, “What the f*** is incorrect with that man? Elmo is, like, the most effective good friend to a number of generations of kids. Within the Sesame Avenue universe, ELMO IS A CHILD, who’s at the moment placing psychological well being and caring for others within the highlight.”

WW provides … “And Larry F***ing David … did … that? And thought it was going to be … humorous? What? What an ass****. What a silly, self-centered, tone deaf ass****.”

Wil goes on to say that his dad used to abuse him as a child — shaking him by the shoulders and screaming in his face, amongst different issues, and he says seeing Larry do this to Elmo had his coronary heart racing because it dredged up inner trauma in his thoughts. He is fairly critical, too.
