In an upcoming episode of "Finding Your Roots," a PBS program in which celebrities find out more about their lineage and history, David will learn he has genealogical ties to the senator and former presidential candidate, who he channeled for numerous appearances on "SNL" during the election.
David spoke about the surprising discovery on Wednesday during a panel for the return of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." during the Television Critics Association press tour after a reporter, who'd seen an advance screener of the "Finding Your Roots" episode, posed a question about it.

David said he'd been instructed to keep the connection a secret, presumably because the network wanted to promote or tease the reveal.
David said he was "very happy" to learn about his connection to the Vermont senator.
"I thought there must be some connection," he said. "I love Bernie."
David couldn't remember the exact nature of their relation, but said Sanders was "like a third cousin or something."

I really hope there's a Bernie guest spot in the new season of Curb.

 

[The Elite]

That's crazy.

 

[Username1198]

I just started watching curb. I'm an idiot for waiting so long. Larry David is my spirit animal.

Yeah, that's why I put the Finding Your Roots part, it's easy to get linked with whoever they want you to get linked with

We are one big incestuous mess.

 

[Jag]

I remember reading some crazy stat about how many people are related to Gengis Khan or one of his generals.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Well to be fair second cousin is pretty close. That's someone who could end up showing up at a family reunion.

 

[The Elite]

We're all related to Donald Trump.

I have some Potters in my ancestry so I'm pretty sure I'm related to the boy who lived.

 

[TheGameshark]

Ahaha

Hmm.

 

[TheOMan]

We're all related to Donald Trump.

 

[Wag]

All balding jews from Brooklyn are related. Didn't you know that?

 

[Slayven]

Bronsonlee isn't human

Hmm.

Who?

That means there's a little Mooch in all of us.

Except for Donald Trump, who was created by using black mold from dessicated Crisco to fertilize Mandarin Blossom-flavored Summer's Eve douche.

 

[Prodigal Son]

this makes me really happy for a bunch of reasons

 

[Xe4]

I was a little sad when Sanders wasn't the nominee because it meant no more Bern Your Enthusiasm sketches. Shit was great!

 

[ThisGuy]

So, since we're all related. Can I get a twenty?

 

[DongBeetle]

Hopefully I'm related to Bernie Sanders too

 

[AuthenticM]

If I'm related to blamespace then I get dibs on the inheritance to his 10,000$.

 

[BocoDragon]

So does this mean Alec Baldwin is related to Trump?

 

[HvySky]

We're all related to Donald Trump.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

 

[old manatee]

If I found out that I was related to Larry David I would never shut the fuck up about it. Never.

 

[Superblatt]

Two Jews from New York. I'm shocked.

Spoiler

I am Jewish and can tell you this is seriously not a surprise

 

[Shauni]

We're all related to Donald Trump.

All humans are related, so that disqualifies Donald Trump

 

[The Kree]

(All humans are related -- George W Bush and Obama were something like 5th cousins)

I think it's Dick Cheney who Obama is related to, which is even weirder.

Imma need to see a DNA test before I believe Chester's skid mark is a human.

https://kristof.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/03/21/obama-and-bush-are-cousins/
Turns out Obama and Bush are 11th cousins, Obama and Cheney 8th cousins.

Literally every single human being is related. We're all direct descendants of mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosomal Adam. Which means you and I are cousins!

 

[Trouble]

Family reunion gonna be lit this year.

Never did supply the birth certificate to prove he wasn't an orangutan
