TV Article SNL Bern Your Enthusiasm: Larry David stars as Bernie Sanders Pretty, pretty, pretty good By Christopher Rosen Christopher Rosen Christopher Rosen is the former executive editor at Entertainment Weekly. He left EW in 2018. EW's editorial guidelines Published on February 7, 2016 12:00PM EST Photo: NBC New episodes of Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm haven’t aired since 2011, but Saturday Night Live gave fans the next best thing: Bern Your Enthusiasm, a five-minute mini-episode featuring David as presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders. On Saturday night’s episode, David reprised his season-long role as the Vermont senator in a pre-taped sketch, which found Sanders alienating voters in very Curb-like ways. After a rally, David-as-Sanders refuses to shake a woman’s hand because she coughed; later, when a second woman got into a car accident and asks David-as-Sanders to pop her dislocated shoulder back into place, he declines by saying, “I’m not a popper.” All throughout, David-as-Sanders is visited by some familiar faces: Susie (played here by Cecily Strong), Jeff (Bobby Moynihan), Leon (Jay Pharoah), and Marty (Taran Killam). In traditional Curb Your Enthusiasm fashion, the slights add up to a setback for the main character: David-as-Sanders loses the Iowa caucus by five votes, the exact number of people he angered in the hours before the polls closed. Cue the theme, and watch below.
