Congressman Cohen Becomes "Better Known"

February 26, 2007

Washington, DC -- Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) will appear on The Colbert Report Thursday evening, March 1 at 10:30 p.m. Central Time on Comedy Central.

Congressman Cohen taped the "interview" with Stephen Colbert earlier in February. The Colbert Report is a parody of ultra conservative talk shows, such as The O’Reilly Factor with Bill O’Reilly on Fox News Channel.

The interview is part of a series of segments known as "Better Know a District," which feature host Stephen Colbert conducting mock interviews with members of Congress.
