Margaret Cho was born and raised in San Francisco. Her career as a viciously sharp-tongued and unfiltered stand-up comedian began in her teen years. By her 20s, this Korean-American performer found herself starring in her own short-lived TV sitcom, All-American Girl. Despite the cancelation of All-American Girl after only 19 episodes, Cho's comic career continued to soar, especially after her critically acclaimed off-Broadway show, I'm the One that I Want, which was also developed into a concert film. Her Notorious C.H.O.performance at Carnegie Hall led to another smash film. The tours and taped specials haven't stopped since, nor has Cho's interest in TV. She took another stab at her own program in 2008: VH1's The Cho Show was a scripted reality approach to the comic’s life, featuring her real life entourage and parents. The following year, she was cast on Lifetime's hit show, Drop Dead Diva, as lead actress Brooke Elliot's assistant sidekick—a role that Cho continued for four seasons. She also appeared on 30 Rock and Dancing with The Stars, just to name two. More recent credits include Family Guy, Fashion Police and Dr. Ken. When not cracking up the masses, this funny lady focuses her energies on advocating for gay rights and fighting racism and sexism. Margaret Cho is a rare jewel that deserves to be embraced.
