The Commission on Presidential Debates once again brought the candidates together in 2016 to face tough questions on critical issues while providing a level of substance, dignity and decorum to the 2016 presidential campaign.

Did it work?

On the next edition of The Kalb Report, debate moderators Martha Raddatz and Chris Wallace, as well as Commission co-chairs Frank Fahrenkopf and Mike McCurry, join Marvin Kalb to review the remarkable 2016 events that rocked America and the world.

The Kalb Report will take place on Monday, December 5, at 8:00 p.m. at the National Press Club, 529 14th Street, NW, in Washington, D.C.

"Our aim is to sit back and reflect on this most unusual campaign, the role, function and future of the presidential debates, and gather thoughts about this extraordinary moment in American history, when revolutions in politics and media have become intertwined," said Kalb.
