Freshmen Rep. Steve Cohen will get his moment in comedy's hot seat tonight.

The Tennessee Democrat will be featured on The Colbert Report's "Better Know a District" series.

As this Fishwrapper has previously noted, host Stephen Colbert mocks members in the satirical feature, which airs locally at 11:30 p.m.

The trick, as always, is to be funny -- without becoming a laughingstock.

Good luck, congressman.
