Larry David wants ‘idiots out there’ to stay home and watch TV
Comedian appears in 90-second rant in a bid to curb the spread of the coronavirus
Comedian Larry David called on “the idiots out there” to stay home and watch TV in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
David’s 90-second rant is a new public service announcement for the state of California was released Tuesday by the office of Gov. Gavin Newsom on social media.
“You’re going out — I don’t know what you’re doing. You’re socialising too close, it’s not good,” the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” creator and star said.
“You’re hurting old people like me — well, not me. I have nothing to do with you. I’ll never see you. But, you know, other — let’s say, other old people who might be your relatives! Who the hell knows.”
David said that people who are going out when they should be hunkering down due to the deadly virus are missing a “fantastic opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to stay at home.
“Go home! Watch TV! That’s my advice to you,” he said in the message to Californians. “You know, if you’ve seen my show, nothing good ever happens going out of the house, you know that. It’s just trouble out there. It’s not a good place to be.”
