Ben Gleib, Alonzo Bodden, and more comics will be the teaspoon of sugar that makes this next presidential debate on Sunday go down.
Tickets are $10 and you can (and should) get them here.
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee Went to a Gay Bar and a Sports Bar to Watch the First Presidential Debate
The findings from this field report might not be shocking to you, but they’re still pretty entertaining, especially when they have a Trump supporter who thought Trump won chats with a Hillary supporter after the debate finishes.
Watch Full Frontal’s delve into watching the debate on both sides of the aisle here.
Stephen Colbert, The Daily Show, and Seth Meyers Are Going Live Tonight After Debates
In case you need an immediate palate cleanser, just wait an hour (give or take a few or more extra hours depending on what side of the country you live on).
In order to get the very first jokes on TV about the first 2016 presidential debate, three late night programs will be going live after the debates.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 11:35PM on CBS
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah 11PM on Comedy Central

“Trump vs. Bernie: Debate for America” Premieres Tonight on Fusion
Forget about all the town halls and sound bytes.
The debate between somewhat fictionalized versions of presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders as played by Anthony Atamanuik and James Adomian are what you have been waiting to see.
The world will finally get to see what many of us already have enjoyed with the premiere of the Trump vs. Bernie: Debate for America special starting tonight at 9PM EST/6PM PST on Fusion.
Samantha Bee’s Makes Sure to Pick Apart Both the Recent GOP and Democratic Debate on ‘Full Frontal’
During election years, presidential candidates are promised equal air time at a given TV network. If one candidate gets to be on air for a specific amount of time, other candidates can request that same amount of air time on the same network.
In a similar line of thought, Samantha Bee made sure to grill both sides of the aisle in their individual debates on last night’s Full Frontal.
As she has been doing since day one at her show, Samantha goes for the jugular in her jokes with almost no remorse and we can’t get enough.
Watch her latest breakdown of the most recent GOP and Democratic debates and you’ll see what we mean.
Watch James Adomian and Drew Droege’s BiPartisan Presidential Debate Live from UCB
In real life or in parody, you’re probably not going to get a better bipartisan presidential debate than this one recorded live at UCB Franklin this week. It was put on by the amazing James Adomian and Drew Droege, appropriately called Decision Election 2016 All-Star Clusterf*ck with:
James Adomian as Sen. Bernie Sanders
Drew Droege as Carly Fiorina
Heather Anne Campbell as Sec. Hillary Clinton
Seth Morris as Gov. Lincoln Chafee
Fortune Feimster as Donald Trump
Ian Karmel as Gov. Chris Christie
Ryan Perez as Sen. Ted Cruz
Chris Schleicher as Gov. Martin O’Malley
Daniel Van Kirk as Gov. Jeb Bush
Jerry Minor as Dr. Ben Carson
Mike Still as Gov. Mike Huckabee
Veronica Osorio as Sen. Marco Rubio
Neil Casey as moderator
If you’re feeling conflicted about watching SNL tonight because of Trump, watching this will more than make up for it.
Barry Rothbart and Danny Solomon Present a 3rd Tier Republican Presidential Debate
The field of candidates vying for the presidential nomination from the GOP is even more crowded and crazed that you already know.
That’s mostly because there simply isn’t enough airtime to fit in all of them into primetime.
Luckily, Barry Rothbart and Danny Solomon have us covered for the most fringe Republican candidates right here in a probably rarely seen 3rd tier debate.
Watch James Adomian as Bernie Sanders Debate Anthony Atamanuik as Donald Trump
While this actual debate of Sanders vs. Trump may never happen, it’s certainly pretty great to see two of the best impressions of presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump done by James Adomian and Anthony Atamanuik, respectively.
The two character versions of Sanders and Trump got to debate head-to-head during Whiplash at UCB NY and this highlight reel is pretty much everything you’d hope it be.
Wanna See Jon Stewart Moderate the 2016 Presidential Debates? You Might Wanna Sign This Petition
At the time of this post, it has 112,206 signatures.
So far, much of the race to be president, especially in regards to the GOP candidates, has resembled a one-man circus.
With such a circus going on, many feel there’s only one such person to wrangle it all in, however they can, and that person is Jon Stewart.
A petition at Change.org has been started for Stewart to moderate debates and, as shown above, they are getting closer and closer to a 150,000 signature goal. The petition should meet that number soon.
We don’t know if the petition will make Stewart the moderator, but, at the very least, his name is in the conversation.
Late Night with Seth Meyers’ Conner O’Malley Does a Donald Trump Presidential Debate Run Through
