Hot on the heels of Wilco’s new album release, Jeff Tweedy will make an appearance on tonight’s episode of @Midnight, the Comedy Central game show that challenges comedians to make the best joke on a given topic. Hosted by Chris Hardwick, the show has Jeff Tweedy competing against regulars Jen Kirkman and David Koechner in #OneWordOffSongs, a segment wherein guests riff on famous song titles. Kirkman kicks things off with "I Am Trying to Break Your Fart," and Tweedy holds his own with winners like "The Devil Went Down to Hooters" and "Dude Looks Like a Dude." Niiice.

Take a look at a preview clip above and check out our review Wilco's new album, Schmilco. (It's good.)
