Donald Trump may have hosted this week’s “Saturday Night Live” episode, but Bernie Sanders stole the show. Or, at least, Larry David did.

The “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star returned to SNL to parody Friday’s Democratic candidates forum in South Carolina. As he did three weeks ago, David played an irascible, slightly unhinged Sanders — and, of course, he nailed it. 

As of this writing, Sanders’ presidential campaign hadn’t yet sent a fundraising solicitation asking for “vacuum pennies,” but we’re confident it will soon.

Watch the sketch below (and skip ahead to 4:04 if even a parody of former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley bores you):

One reply on “Bernie Bits: Larry David Returns to ‘SNL’ As Bernie Sanders”

  1. After watching SNL’s portrayal of Bernie’s campaign reform (emptying pennies out of your vacuum etc) I started thinking about how many people keep change jars in their homes which they toss loose change into on a daily basis. I have one myself and it was at over $90.00 last time I checked. I’m going to cash in the change and contribute the proceeds to the campaign. I encourage others to do the same. Maybe ask friends and neighbors too? ‪#‎PenniesforBernie‬ ‪#‎vacuumpennies‬
