A Bernie Sanders-Curb Your Enthusiasm mashup that gave Larry David a chance to bring his Sanders portrayal to the outside world.

This was hilarious and I thought the best part of SNL this past week (which considering the rest of the episode isn't saying much). I wouldn't have gotten the humor though if I hadn't already been familiar w/ CYE, its characters, and its tone. I can imagine an episode of CYE w/ this same plot if it had Larry David running for some office. Cecily Strong nailed Susie's nasty foul mouth & personality perfectly, I thought.

David came to Saturday Night Live last week expecting to do something related to Curb Your Enthusiasm. He ended up collaborating with the writers on the Bernie Sanders video.
