Trump and Clinton square off again tonight — this time with jokes
Less than 24 hours after their final debate, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are going toe-to-toe once again.
And this time, they have to tell jokes.
The presidential hopefuls will both be at the Alfred E. Smith dinner, an annual charity function that the candidates attend by tradition. Clinton and Trump will reportedly sit just one seat away from each other, separated by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the head of the Catholic Church in New York.
Don't worry though, the event is going to be televised. You can watch it right here on our favorite non-profit, government-centric cable channel: C-SPAN. The event will air on C-SPAN's cable channel and livestream on its website.
As is custom, the candidates are expected to give brief speeches in which they poke fun at themselves and each other. That might be tough just 24 hours after the final debate of an election cycle that has been far more bitter than any in recent memory.
The event is set to begin at 8:50 p.m. ET

In 2012, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney kept things light. Romney hit at Obama over his "you didn't build that" quote, while Obama dinged Romney for his deep pockets.
Will Clinton and Trump be as civil? You'll have to watch to find out.

BONUS: Hillary Clinton's final debate look was clearly inspired by 'The Matrix'
