Things are getting pretty serious in the race for Republican presidential nomination, but there’s still room for some levity. Funny Or Die and Yahoo! have joined forces to host a mock debate on Friday, poking fun at the current and former candidates as well as President Obama.

Larry King will moderate the 16-minute program, which “features Horatio Sanz as Newt Gingrich, John C. McGinley as Rick Santorum, Greg Germann as Jon Huntsman, Patrick Warburton as Rick Perry, Leslie Jordan as Ron Paul, Erin Gibson as Michele Bachmann, Bryan Safi as Marcus Bachmann, and Reggie Brown as President Obama,” according to a press release.

Former boxing champ Mike Tyson will also bring back his Herman Cain impersonation for the occasion.

Update: A reader pointed out: What about Mitt Romney? The former Massachusetts gov won't be left out, according to Funny Or Die. He'll be played by Rob Delaney.

The debate airs on Yahoo! News on Friday at 8 a.m. ET.
