Bernie Sanders reportedly joining Larry David on 'Saturday Night Live'

Sen. Bernie Sanders, left, will reportedly make an appearance on the Feb. 6 episode of "Saturday Night Live," hosted by Larry David.

Bernie Sanders may be teaming up with his doppelgänger this weekend.

The Washington Post reports that Sanders, who's leading Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire ahead of the state's Tuesday primary, is taking a break from campaigning in the Granite State to head to New York on Saturday. While there, he is "likely" to appear on Saturday Night Live, The Post says, citing a "source with direct knowledge of plans."

CNN was more definitive, quoting senior Sanders adviser Tad Devine as saying: "We'll be live in New York."

Why would this Saturday be a particularly significant episode for the Vermont senator to appear on the show? Larry David, the comedian who's impersonated Sanders on SNL, will be hosting.

Sanders wouldn't be the first 2016 presidential contender to appear on SNL this season. Clinton appeared in October as "Val the bartender," in a skit with Kate McKinnon, who plays the former secretary of State on the show.

Donald Trump topped them both, hosting the show in November.
