This is a sketch the two did. Its theme was quite shocking. A civil war was taking place in El Salvador and Reagan was sending arms and military advisors to the cruel right-wing government to fight the Communists. Larry David impersonated Bing Crosby and Kramer played a Salvadoran soldier. It's not really funny, but it is just bizarre to know this was once on American network TV.

Larry David and Kramer sketch about US intervention in El Salvador
I am reading Seinfeldia, a book about the TV sitcom Seinfeld. Apparently, ABC had a show that competed against SNL from 1980 to 1982 called Fridays. Larry David (co-creator of Seinfeld) and the actor who played Kramer were on it.

i used to watch Fridays (8/9th grade, still too young to be out that late on a Friday), and distinctly remember Michael Richards, but never knew Larry David was on it too.
As a Reagan-era teen i totally feared being drafted & sent to Central America, and registered as a Conscientious Objector with Selective Service.
@slirt: I didn't know that was an option. I debated whether to sign up for the Selective Service because of Iraq War I.
Loved that TV show. Great musical guests too.
