They then spoke of her rival, Bernie Sanders, who coincidentally was also making a guest appearance on the show.

“Bernie’s a champion of the 99 per cent. Apparently, the 99 per cent off at JC Penny,” Zoolander said.

The pair went on to discuss the dangers of voting, Ted Cruz and ‘Donnie’ Trump’s signature look.
