Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Larry David is actually related to what politician he plays on “SNL”?"
...Larry David and Bernie Sanders learned on PBS' genealogy series "Finding Your Roots" that the two are distant cousins. The revelation shocked both individuals, with Bernie Sanders asking host of the show if he was kidding. The connection is even more astounding given that Larry David has played Bernie Sanders on Saturday Night Live numerous times, and Sanders at one point changed his Twitter picture to a photo of Larry David. Both are Brooklyn-born, bald-headed men in their seventies with Jewish ancestry and distinctive voices.
