Margaret Cho Essentials

Margaret Cho's comedy career has been typified by distinct phases and myriad personalities. She was a screen darling in the ‘90s and early ‘00s, unique riffs on her bisexuality and Korean heritage (as on 2000's “Korean-American Role Model”) bringing a fresh voice to a saturated comedy scene. She embraced the political as she entered the late ‘00s, and refused to shy away from shock value (as on 2009's “Dick O'Clock”). But it's her fierce honesty and outlandish delivery that have defined her success, with 2017's “Growing Up Korean and Gay” proving she's got plenty of fire in her yet.
