The two were joined by Al Roker, who kicked off the funny segment by reminding David that if Sanders wins, it’ll add a ton of bi-coastal trips to his plate in order for him to continue his famous Sanders impersonations on «SNL.»
«That’s true. It’s not going to be easy for me. It’ll be great for the country, terrible for me,» David, 72, said, echoing sentiments he made earlier this week on «The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.»
