Excerpt:
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Henry Louis Gates Jr., the host of "Finding Your Roots" on PBS, says the show "couldn't have scripted" the discovery that actor, comedian Larry David and Senator Bernie Sanders are related.
An episode where the two learn they're distant relatives will air on the show's upcoming fourth season, premiering Oct. 3.
He said Sanders and David share "identical DNA" of three chromosomes and "that's a lot of matches."
