Larry David's Sanders is back on SNL — and just as amazing as ever

As the Democrats' primary process comes to a close, things have become a bit heated between the two candidates — and, unsurprisingly, Saturday Night Live has taken notice.

The show had Larry David return this weekend to reprise his now-iconic role as Bernie Sanders, appearing aside SNL's own Kate McKinnon's Hillary Clinton.

The skit begins with Clinton sitting at a bar nearing last call, celebrating her perceived clinching of the Democrats' primary nomination — only to find Sanders sitting, unnoticed, in a chair behind her.

"I'm not going anywhere," David announces from his chair. "I can stay here as long as I want."

The two ultimately have a drink, reminisce about old times ("Remember when I told everyone to stop talking about your damn emails?" David's Sanders chides. "What shmuck!"), share secrets ("You know the presidency," McKinnon whispers. "I really, really want it"), and agree to a late-night dance.

McKinnon, of course, uses this opportunity to dance David right off the stage and into an elevator. If only political primaries could be resolved so easily.

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.
