Julia Louis-Dreyfus brought former characters of many different spheres to this week’s “Saturday Night Live,” beginning with the very top of the show. In a cameo-rich episode, it was Louis-Dreyfus who dominated.

The show opened with the Democratic presidential debate in NYC. Kate McKinnon‘s Hillary Clinton squared off with Larry David‘s Bernie Sanders, both impersonations spot-on caricatures, as the debate devolved into Clinton rapping “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” theme and giving Sanders a noogie.

And then came a question from audience member and “longtime New Yorker” Elaine Benes, the character Louis-Dreyfus made famous on the show David co-created, “Seinfeld.”
