These New York City subway advertisements for MyHeritageDna have made me somewhat wary of “hidden ancestry” stories, but then again if I listened to every subway ad I’d be a narc who got annual breast augmentations and ordered Seamless out of my locally-sourced co-working space (the back of an Uber). Anyway, this story is exceptional.
During an interview on Wednesday at the Television Critics Association press tour to promote Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 9 (yes, please), Larry David revealed that he’d recently done one of those PBS Find Your Roots appearances and discovered that he’s actually related to Senator Bernie Sanders, who of course he famously portrayed in his Emmy-nominated SNL stint during the presidential primaries.
“He’s in the line,” said David, “like a third cousin, or something…I was very happy about that. I figured there was some connection.” David added, “I love Bernie, yes, I love Bernie.”
I am very excited to learn what Sanders has to say about all of this. I’m sure he will tell us as soon as he finishes drying his one pair of underwear on a makeshift clothesline that hangs in front of a rotating fan.
