Alfred E Smith Dinner 2016 Live Stream: Watch Donald Trump And Hillary Clinton Roast Each Other With Jokes
The 2016 presidential election cycle has been anything but traditional, but both major party nominees will be expected to embrace the political establishment's roots during the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner Thursday night in New York City. The 71st installment of the charity event has historically invited U.S. presidential candidates to participate in a moment of levity by offering up a variety of self-deprecating jokes.
That means that just 24 hours after a contentious final debate between Republican nominee Donald Trump and his Democratic counterpart Hillary Clinton, the two White House hopefuls will again be in the same room. Only this time, the mood will - at least in theory - be much more lighthearted.
The dinner that benefits "the neediest children of the Archdiocese of New York, regardless of race, creed, or color" is set to begin at 9 p.m. EDT. To watch a live stream of the candidates making their humorous remarks, you can click here or scroll down to the bottom of the page to watch an embedded live feed.
The event is named for the former four-term governor of New York ad one-time Democratic presidential nominee who "achieved the passage of extensive reform legislation, including improved factory laws, better housing requirements, and expanded welfare services." according to the foundation's website.
If history is any indication, Trump will refrain from calling his political opponent a "nasty woman" - as he did Tuesday night in the Las Vegas debate - and Clinton won't draw attention to her rival's reluctance to release his tax history. Instead, they will likely rib one another with playful barbs such as how President Barack Obama did with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney when they were running against each other for the White House in 2012.
"Ultimately, though, tonight is not about the disagreements Governor Romney and I may have," Obama said four years ago. "It’s what we have in common - beginning with our unusual names."
He was working his way to the punchline: "Actually, Mitt is his middle name. I wish I could use my middle name," he said in reference to the name Hussein.
Clinton and Trump seem to lack Obama's natural gift for timing with delivering jokes, so it could be interesting to see how the candidates perform when they take the stage Thursday night.
