Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s monologue on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend was interrupted by a protester — comedian Larry David.

Multiple groups had called on NBC to dump Trump from hosting the late night comedy show this weekend. But the network made a joke of it.

Trump was near the end of his of monologue when someone yelled, “You’re a racist!”

“Who the hell is — I knew this was gonna happen,” Trump said, as the camera panned to the protestor. “Who is that?”

The camera cut to David.

“Trump’s a racist!” David screamed.

“It’s Larry David,” Trump said. “What are you doing, Larry?”

“I heard if I yelled that, they’d give me $5,000,” David said.

“As a businessman, I can fully respect that. That’s OK,” Trump replied.

David had returned to the late night program on Saturday to impersonate Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
