The second debate of the presidential election is tonight, but it doesn't feature the vice-presidential candidates, who will meet on Oct. 11, or Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.
But this debate might be more fun than the first one.
Comedian Jon Stewart, host of Comedy Central's news spoof show "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" will debate the issues facing both candidates with Bill O'Reilly, host of the popular pundit show "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News.
The two talking heads will meet at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., tonight at 8pm in "an old-fashioned duel of wits," according to their joint website for the debate.
The pundits, while on opposite sides of the political aisle and with very different television audiences, nonetheless appear to have developed a professional rapport, and perhaps an actual friendship in recent years.
O'Reilly frequently appears as a guest on "The Daily Show" to refute some liberal talking point, and Stewart returns the favor. Contrary to his usual bombastic style, O'Reilly often concedes points to Stewart and lets him finish his sentences before countering with his own views.
While the in-studio event is sold out, with some tickets going for as much as $1400, a live stream is available for $4.95, with half the proceeds going to charities, though the particular charities that will benefit have not been announced.
Since both men will need to agree on the recipients, it seems likely that veterans groups will benefit, as both hosts have expressed support for the Armed Forces in the past.
The debate will be 90 minutes, like the real presidential debate, and will be moderated by CNN's E.D. Hill, an anchor at the cable news network and former host on Fox News.
The combatants will cover about five issues, including the economy and terrorism, topics they've both discussed passionately in the past.
Both pundits made their cases prior to the debate in promotional videos, below.
