Al Roker welcomed a pair of special guests to Friday morning’s edition of “Today”, and it was pretty, pretty, pretty good.
While Bernie Sanders was on hand to discuss his ongoing campaign to be the Democratic candidate for president, Larry David, who portrays the Vermont senator on “Saturday Night Live”, also appeared on the show to promote the upcoming 10th season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm”.
It was a no-brainer that the two would appear onscreen together, which started off hilariously when Roker introduced Sanders as David before saying, “No, wait…”

Roker reminded David that if Sanders does win the presidency in November, he’ll have a more-or-less full-time gig portraying Sanders on “SNL” — something that David wasn’t particularly thrilled about.
“Yes, that’s true,” David said, in character as Sanders. “It’s not going to be easy for me. It’ll be great for the country, terrible for me.”
“He’s doing too well!” David complained as Sanders cracked up. “It’s frightening to me how well he’s doing. I have to rethink everything after this.”
Later in his appearance, David discussed the latest season of “Curb”, and what’s in store for fans.
Meanwhile, David also stepped in front of the green screen to help Roker with a weather forecast — watch:
