Bernie Sanders and Larry David spoof Curb Your Enthusiasm on SNL

Sanders took the stage alongside host and doppelganger Larry David (giving David the opportunity to show just how on-point his Sanders impersonation really is), and guess what?

While there were hopes Bernie would appear as himself alongside David’s incredible impression, in fact Sanders featured in a Titanic-esque sketch about migrants coming to NY.

“Sounds like socialism to me”, David’s character responded.

Hours ahead of his appearance, Sanders showed his full support for friend and doppelgänger David, changing his website and Twitter profile momentarily.

In a spoof of his HBO series “Curb Your Enthusiasm” called “Bern Your Enthusiasm“, David reprised his impression of the Democratic presidential candidate.

In Saturday’s skit, David played a ship crew member angry about women and children getting the first seats in lifeboats.

Sanders played Bernie Sanderswitzki, an immigrant aboard a ship to Ellis Island.

“YUGE difference”, Sanders replied, imitating how Trump often pronounces “huge” as though it begins with a Y.

“Sounds like socialism to me”, David retorted.

I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of glad we’ll be seeing them in the same room. David is playing Sanders as Curb’s Larry David, and despite nailing the rhythm, tone and self-defeating twists of a Curb episode, you never forget that David is supposed to be Sanders.

The real-life reasons why Sanders lags far behind Clinton among black voters are more complex than germy hands, of course.

“What’s the difference”, David said. In October, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared as a bartender named Val during a sketch with Kate McKinnon as Clinton. Sanders appeared again with David to introduce the show’s performing artist, “The 1975”.

And we should keep in mind that jokes about Sanders being a socialist are not as helpful as some on the left may think.

However, before we all tune in to see what David will do tonight, let’s look back on his hilarious history as the most lovable curmudgeon on TV.

Just days before the New Hampshire primary, Democratic presidential hopeful and Vermont Sen.
