Larry David drew high praise from SNL viewers during last year's Presidential Election thanks to his bang on impression of Senator Bernie Sanders.

David made the Bernie impression look easy and it turns out there may be a reason for it. The pair are actually related. 

David is set to appear on an upcoming episode of US television series Finding Your Roots and during the show's promotion he revealed that it turns out he is actually related to the US Senator. And he's pretty chuffed about it. 

"I was very happy about that," he said. 

"I thought there must have been some connection," Larry continued. "I love Bernie."

We'll have to wait until the episode airs to find out exactly what the connection between the two is as all that David is offering for now is that Sanders is "like a third cousin or something."

David also explained how he ended up doing Sanders impressions in the first place.

"During the first debate between Bernie and Hillary, Lorne Michaels got emails and calls during the debate, saying that I should be doing Bernie Sanders."
