David also starred in a less topical but still entertaining sketch called[ “FBI Simulator”](https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/fbi-simulator/2981467) as Kevin Roberts, an eccentric man with a penchant for doughnuts and neon orange suits. He pulled off the sketch pretty well, but as you’ll see from the outtakes real _SNL_ just released, he had a _really_ tough time with it during rehearsals. And by really tough time, we just mean he could not stop giggling. _Vanity Fair_ has [a theory ](http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/02/larry-david-saturday-night-like-outtake?mbid=social%5Ffacebook)about why this bizarre sketch aired so early in the show, when it feels like it would belong later in the night: Lorne Michaels was really hoping David would break character. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4215691/larry-david-snl-bloopers-outtakes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4215691/larry-david-snl-bloopers-outtakes/"},"headline":"Watch Larry David Giggle His Way Through This SNL Blooper Reel","datePublished":"2016-02-10T18:28:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:29:55.578Z","description":"He can barely say his lines during rehearsal","url":"https://time.com/4215691/larry-david-snl-bloopers-outtakes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4215691/larry-david-snl-bloopers-outtakes/","name":"Watch Larry David Giggle His Way Through This SNL Blooper Reel"}}]}] ```
