Last week’s Democratic Presidential Debate fueled a lot of conversations throughout the week about which candidate was the victor. Hillary Clinton? Bernie Sanders? Anyone who had previously seen Jim Webb speak? One might say that Saturday Night Live was the true winner with the particularly on-point casting of Seinfeld creator and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David as Sanders.

Starring in the cold open (along with fellow non-SNL performer Alec Baldwin making a surprisingly understated cameo as Webb), David pretty much filled the same space that Tina Fey did back in 2008 when the obvious similarities between her and then-Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin practically required her to return to the sketch program on which she got her big break. And as the clip below proves, David pretty much played himself (which is his specialty), delivering his patented yells with some Seinfeldian lines peppered throughout (because, seriously, what is the deal with podiums?).

It was a great and funny cold open, for sure, but many within the comedy community have pointed out that there’s possibly a better person who could play Sanders in the long term — because, let’s face it, the novelty of Larry David as Bernie Sanders is a good one, but there’s only so far you can go with the joke, especially if he continues to do well in the polls. The other guy you might not know yet? James Adomian.

Adomian has been slowly rising in the comedy ranks throughout the last few years, beginning with his appearance on Last Comic Standing in 2010 (he made it into the top ten). He’s also appeared on Comedy Bang! Bang!, Children’s Hospital, and as President George W. Bush on MADtv. He’s got plenty of impressions in his bag, ranging from Jesse Ventura to Gary Busey. And just last week, he appeared at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York City to show off his pitch-perfect Bernie Sanders impression alongside regular UCBT performer Anthony Atamanuik as Donald Trump.

(Hell, I’d even vouch for Atamanuik joining the cast on his Trump alone!)

So, whattaya say, SNL? Let’s get a professional wig on Adomian’s head and put him up against Kate McKinnon’s Hillary Clinton. I mean, two openly gay SNL cast members playing presidential hopefuls? What a dream!
