A Funny Lady
MARGARET
CHO'S
parents left Korea in 1964 to live in America. They had a hard time adjusting.
Margaret's Korean name is Moran and she was born on December 5, 1968 in
San Francisco, California. She inherited her father's eyes and her mother's
eating disorder. She grew up in the Polk-Haight area. Some people are raised
by wolves, she was raised by drag queens. The smell that takes Margaret
back to childhood is balls in pantyhose. Margaret used to dream of being
constantly surrounded by gorgeous men, and she is. Due to these factors,
Margaret is the biggest faghag ever.
In case you were wondering, Margaret
is Connie Chung's slutty younger sister. She is not a fat person, she
just has fat parts and the biggest pubic mound in the whole world. However,
Margaret does hold the secret to quick weight loss. Although she likes
everything about sex except the penetration part, she is not a lesbian.
Margaret grew up in a diverse community
and when there are no other Asians around she feels uncomfortable. As
young as Margaret
is, she once had to pass a kidney stone. At the hospital she met the ever
lovely Gwen but didn't get her business card.
Margaret's
parents owned a bookstore (her mother was in charge of the gay porno section).
Margaret's early routines were heavily based on growing up with Asian
immigrant parents and other members of her family, (her ex-surfer born-again
brother, her sleepy bingo playing grandmother, her mother who thinks she's
one big cherry and gay). Margaret once enjoyed drugs but quit, because,
like a lot of us, she could no longer pretend her dealer was interesting.
Margaret
performed at local clubs in San Francisco (even the one above her parent's
bookstore, where she would do sets on during her bookstore breaks). Eventually
Margaret moved on to television and appeared on all sorts of comedy and
late night talk shows, as well as thoroughly working the club circuit.
She quickly gained comedic celebrity status and was rewarded with her
own sit-com, All
American Girl. It was short-lived though. It ran from September 1994
through March 1995. Margaret has stated that higher powers watered down
the Asian-ness of the show. She has also said she would like to try television
again and that this time she has a great comedic writing partner in Karen
Kilgariff. Read what AsiaWeek
wrote about her, or what the San
Diego Union Newspaper said!
Margaret has been a Los Angeles resident since 1992. She co-hosted the
Friar's Club Roast for Drew Carey in New York (the first time the Roast
had been televised).
During
that time she also appeared on the Daily Show (scored a 4 on the '5 Questions'
segment). Comedy specials featuring Margaret that are still being re-broadcast
include: Comics Come Home 3, Pulp Comics, Comedy Showcase, etc.
One
day, Margaret will have her own fragrance to market.
