MARGARET CHO (on Her Comedic Genius, DWTS, Masked Singer, Lisa Vanderpump & Becoming an RHOBH!)

Margaret Cho steps Behind The Rope. Comedian, Emmy Award Nominated Actress, Musician, Advocate, Entrepreneur, Artist and one of our personal favs. Margaret chats about the full anthology of her career which began by performing stand up near her parent’s book store in San Fran. Early success - appearing in the Golden Girl’s spinoff, opening for Jerry Seinfeld - led to a whole host of stand up brilliance - the Queen of the one woman show, and her own ABC show, “All American Girl” where she was told she was either “too asian” or “not asian enough” on the reg. We chat about how much times have changed and how “All American Girl” would have been received by both network execs and audiences today. Back on the road today, we chat live audiences as well as Margaret’s contemporaries and inspirations - Ellen DeGeneres and Joan Rivers to name a few. Of course we chat Reality TV, Margaret’s own VH1 reality show, “The Cho Show” as well as competing on both "Dancing With The Stars" and "The Masked Singer" - shout out to The Poodle! Having appeared in many of our fav shows, we discuss those appearances such as in Sex and The City as well as Margaret’s new Hulu YA Rom Com, “Sex Appeal” starring alongside the one and only Paris Jackson. Finally, we chat about her epic contribution to the LGBTQ+ community that has been evident since the beginning of her very prolific, brilliant and varied career.
