Last night Saturday Night Live kicked off with a cold open spoofing the first Democratic Presidential Debate, featuring Larry David brilliantly cast as Bernie Sanders.

Hillary Clinton (Kate McKinnon), Bernie Sanders (Larry David), Jim Webb (Alec Baldwin), Lincoln Chafee (Kyle Mooney) and Martin O’Malley (Taran Killam) face off at the Democratic presidential debate, hosted by CNN’s Anderson Cooper (Jon Rudnitsky).
