This award winning segment takes Colbert out of the studio and on location into the dirty trenches of Congressional offices. Viewers across the nation delight in seeing Stephen ask the kind of tough questions ("So why do you hate our troops?") that leave these Washington fat cats speechless, squirming in their fancy-shmancy office armchairs. At the present rate, the final District on the big board should be lit up by February, 2014. To date, 51 of 434 Districts have now been Better Known, or 1/8th of the total.

  • This award winning segment takes Colbert out of the studio and on location into the dirty trenches of Congressional offices. Viewers across the nation delight in seeing Stephen ask the kind of tough questions ("So why do you hate our troops?") that leave these Washington fat cats speechless, squirming in their fancy-shmancy office armchairs. In July 2006, in a critically acclaimed edition of Better Know a District seen by over 150 million viewers, Stephen's firm persistence caused Florida Congressman Robert Wexler to admit his love for prostitutes and cocaine. Colbert won two Peabody Awards for this hard-hitting interview, and the segment remains a likely candidate for a Pulitzer Prize, as well as the Nobel Prize for yellow journalism. At the present rate, the final District on the big board should be lit up by February, 2014. To date, 51 of 434 Districts have now been Better Known, or 1/8th of the total.
