An episode where the two learn they're distant relatives will air on the show's upcoming fourth season, premiering Oct. 3.
David has impersonated Sanders on "Saturday Night Live."
Gates spoke about the discovery Monday during a panel about his show as part of the Television Critics Association's annual summer press gathering.
