Interview With Margaret Cho
Much to her rabid fans’ delight, Asian-American, queer comedian Margaret Cho is back with her own VH1 reality show, The Cho Show, 14 years after her first foray into television, the short-lived ABC sitcom All-American Girl. That experience was both tumultuous and fruitful, in that her negative experiences at the hands of network execs fueled the bulk of her hit one-woman show, I’m the One That I Want. This time around, VH1 elected smartly to let her do her own thing on her own terms. In this extensive interview, Cho discusses her new show, gay marriage, Tila Tequila, Korean-American politics and, of course, sex.
AfterEllen.com: How would you describe The Cho Show?
Margaret Cho: I think of it as more of a sitcom than a reality show, although there are some elements of realness to it, in that it’s a real family and real sorts of situations.
