Asked about Larry David's impression of him during this week's candidate forum on CNN, Bernie Sanders joked: "I am Larry David!" | AP Photo Bernie Sanders heads to New York for possible SNL cameo with Larry David

Sen. Bernie Sanders is heading to New York City for a possible cameo on Saturday Night Live, according to multiple reports.

Comedian Larry David, who has played Sanders on SNL before, is hosting the show this Saturday, possibly setting up a scene for the two together. Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have made cameos on SNL alongside their SNL impersonators this season.

The campaign told CNN that Sanders is going to New York "to be ready if SNL calls," and that they expect they will.

An NBC spokesperson couldn't be reached for comment.

SNL cast member Colin Jost told late night host Seth Meyers on Thursday he thinks David's portrayal of Sanders has helped the Sanders campaign.

"I think he's helped Bernie," Jost said. "Larry's so likable in a crazy, curmudgeon way, that he makes you think, 'Oh yeah, Bernie Sanders! I always liked him. I liked him in 'Curb [Your Enthusiasm].' He was great.'"
