Live Comedy Cellar Debate

As America heads into the 2024 election, voters are considering their choices. So as part of Open to Debate’s special election series, we offer a substantive policy debate — with a little levity. In a unique twist on political debate, two comedians, Pete Dominick, host of the “Stand Up! with Pete Dominick” podcast, and Jimmy Failla, host of Fox News’ “Saturday Night” and “FOX Across America”, step into Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump’s shoes respectfully, bringing humor and wit to hot-button questions about the economy, immigration, and foreign policy. This debate will dissect the contrasting policy choices of Harris and Trump, exploring who might be the better fit to lead America.

This debate took place in front of a live audience on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, at 6 PM at The Comedy Cellar’s Village Underground in New York City.
