This week’s Saturday Night Live kicked off with a cold open that featured a rapid-fire round robin of mock CNN campaign coverage, featuring topical subjects like Friday’s endorsement of Donald Trump by Ben Carson.

The highlight, though, was the return of Larry David as Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders.

2. As a Jewish Bernie supporter and Larry David fan

I loved it!!

I know they made fun of me. But, hey it was hilarious.

3. Larry David is great as Bernie

And Darryl Hammond does an uncanny impression of Trump.

4. Hillary's ad was better.

10. They were both well done

But the Hillary sketch was about the candidate and Bernie one was more about his supporters.

15. Not really, the supporters comments was 'annoying on Facebook, five posts a day annoying'

and that was about it. Not exactly a crushing comment.

17. You might want to watch it again

There were many stinging comments about Bernie supporters which is probably why there hasn't been much mention of it on DU today.

20. I'm a Bernie supporter and I thought it was hilarious. I saw a few mentions of it over in the Bernie

Group too; we tend to like it, even if it makes fun of us.

We can take a joke.

5. Not quite as good as the Hillary ad

[DesertRat]

6. I always enjoy Kate McKinnon as Hillary

[UglyGreed]

7. Art imitating life

[DesertRat]

9. I've always enjoyed SNL's political sketches

Tina Fey as Palin, Will Ferrell as W., Kate McKinnon and Amy Poehler as Hillary, Daryl Hammond as Trump and now Larry Sanders as Bernie have all left indelible impressions.

11. "my message is resonating with a very diverse group of white people. And I've got supporters of all

ages -- 18-year olds, 19-year olds ... That's it."

[DesertRat]

13. "I want to apologize to everyone else

for making your Facebook feed so, so annoying."

[Number23]

23. Woah, I haven't watched the whole thing but it's worth it for that little snip alone

my message is resonating with a very diverse group of white people. And I've got supporters of all ages -- 18-year olds, 19-year olds



I did see the bit where he said "I'm great but not five posts a day great. To my supporters, get a life." Oh, how I loved that.

[zappaman]

12. Spot on!

[DesertRat]

14. "I Love My Supporters, But They’re Too Much, Right?"

[bigwillq]

16. Hysterical.

[DesertRat]

18. I think that the SNL writers

have been reading DU.

[MADem]

19. OMG, that was hilarious!

"I've got big plans, and no idea how to achieve them!"

[DesertRat]

21. Kicking for the evening crowd

[m-lekktor]

22. I liked the Ben Carson impersonation! lol nt

[DesertRat]

24. Oh yeah, Jay Pharaoh does a great Ben Carson

I loved him holding the Trump steak over his eye.
