It’s hard to fathom, but comedian and successful show writer Larry David and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are actually related. The two were connected as David did some well-renowned impressions on Saturday Night Live of the senator that had all of America cracking up.
The way that this was discovered was when David participated in an episode of Finding Your Roots, which is on PBS.
The two unmistakably look alike and with a little make up it just works perfectly.
David is most well-known for his role as a co-creator of the hit show, Seinfeld, and also his own show that he stars in, Curb Your Enthusiasm . The show will return in the fall after a six-year hiatus.
Sanders obviously did not win the primary as Hillary Clinton took the nomination and eventually lost to the current president, Donald Trump.
There are some murmurings that Sanders will try and run again for president in 2020 , but he will be closing in on 80-years-old. The oldest president entering office is actually our current president, who stepped into the oval office at the age of 70 years, 220 days.

However, another Sanders run would mean more impressions from David, which is something that everyone can be happy about in a political climate that is so divisive. It’s still up in the air if a challenge for the White House would happen again for Sanders.
