Larry David’s SNL Promos Are Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Good
Michaels got back from dinner and answered a call from David’s agent saying that the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star wanted to play Bernie Sanders. She, uh, really wants you to watch her show.
The politician responds in his best imitation of the “Seinfeld” creator, “I am Larry David”. ‘Why do you think we’re doing the promo?’ In a promo NBC released today ahead of the February 6 episode, David bickers with castmember Leslie Jones about a variety of topics, one of which is whether viewers should actually tune in to the show. He even laughed at his own singing abilities after his 1987 folk album, “We Shall Overcome”, went viral online. “Anderson, I know you’ve been in journalism for a long time”. “[You’re] too old for me”. Are you kidding me?
“I understand Larry David is hosting SNL this weekend – he does a pretty good imitation of you – do you do a Larry David imitation?”
One of the highlights of watching “Saturday Night Live” during the current election season is witnessing Larry David’s spot-on portrayal of Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders.
And worked briefly as a writer for the sketch comedy series from 1984 to 1985.
