Bernie Sanders Wants Larry David at Next Rally: ‘He Does Better Than I Do’

George Stephanopoulos showed Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders a clip of Larry David‘s impression from Saturday Night Live. When the This Week host asked the Vermont senator what he thought, Sanders joked about the possibility of bringing the Curb Your Enthusiasm star on the campaign trail.

“I think we’ll use Larry at our next rally,” he said. “He does better than I do.”

David portrayed Sanders during SNL‘s cold open, which lampooned CNN’s Democratic debate in Las Vegas for a full 10 minutes.

if Bernie wins - SNL will have to hire Larry David but in the meantime I hope they have him on again.

I think he did it just for fun. I don't think he lives in NYC so not sure we will see much more of this. He sure did look like he was having fun tho.

said Larry maybe should do the next rally in a passing way with a touch of sarcasm and w/o much enthusiasm IMO.
