How to watch Trump, Clinton roast each other at annual Al Smith charity dinner

CBS News Live

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will take place in a political tradition Thursday night in New York City by attending the 71st annual Alfred E. Smith charity dinner

With 19 days left until the election, the nominees will have their chance to try out as the comedian-in-chief at the charity dinner, where many presidential candidates in the past have taken a break from the vitriol of the campaign and make fun of themselves.

For those looking to stream the event live, CBSN will air the charity dinner starting at 9 p.m. ET. It can be watched here.

CSPAN will also show the event live. 

WATCH: Trump says he'll accept election results if he wins

Both nominees are slated to attend the 9 p.m. white-tie event at the Waldorf Astoria. The fundraiser honors former New York governor Al Smith, who ran for president in 1928 and became the first Catholic nominee of a major party. 

It will be the last time the two will share a stage before Americans head to the polls on Nov. 8.

Their jokes could present quite the contrast from the third and final presidential debate they attended only a night earlier in Las Vegas in which Trump refused to commit to accepting the election results if he loses and where he called Clinton “such a nasty woman.”

But even as they strive for the funniest lines, the event could get awkward, given the latest developments on the campaign trail.
