Larry David and Bernie Sanders United at Last on SNL (Video)

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and his pop-culture doppelganger, the comedian Larry David, appeared together on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” last night.

David, the “Seinfeld” co-creator who also gave us “Curb Your Enthusiasm” on HBO, has in recent months added a side gig as SNL’s official Sanders impersonator for the duration of the election, because he’s funny but also spot-on.

In the sketch, David/Bernie is on a steamship that’s in trouble and has a big problem with the captain’s orders to evacuate the women and children first.

Here’s the video:

Later on, David mixed his Sanders impersonation with a sendup of his “Curb,” called “Bern Your Enthusiasm.” In scenarios straight from the Larry David playbook, the candidate declines to shake the hand of a voter after’s she’s coughed on it. SNL regulars appear as “Curb” regulars Cheryl Hines, Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman and J.B. Smoove. Enjoy.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
