The reference to the show created and starring comedian Larry David hits particularly close to Sanders. David played Sanders on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” last year – an impersonation that earned him an Emmy nomination for outstanding guest actor in a comedy series.
“By the way, the impression Larry David does of you is spectacular and uncanny,” Cruz told Sanders.
In a clip from the PBS series “Finding Your Roots” released earlier this month, it was revealed that David and Sanders are distant relatives.
