WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders revealed a secret Wednesday night at a CNN Democratic forum.

"I am Larry David," Sanders told CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, who had asked Sanders to do his best impression of the curmudgeon-y comedian.

David's impersonation of Sanders on Saturday Night Live has become this cycle's version of Tina Fey's Sarah Palin impersonation in the 2008 presidential race.

David and Sanders share many similarities.

Both have messy white hair, were born in Brooklyn and speak with the same I'm-trying-not-to-yell-but-this-is-just-my-voice manner.

David will host SNL Feb. 6, where he's almost guaranteed to perform his Sanders impersonation.
