Margaret Cho
Margaret Cho is an Asian-American woman who is well-known for her short-lived sitcom All-American Girl. After surviving a media blitz, her incredible career shows how she grew as a person and a worker in fits and starts. Since then, this Korean-American comedian has come a long way to become a symbol of what it is to be politically correct.
Early Life
Margaret Moran Cho was born in San Francisco, California. She grew up with people of different races. Her parents, Seung-Hoon Cho and Young-Hie, ran a bookstore.
At 14, she did her first stand-up act. She got ideas from her father's Korean joke books and sense of humor, which helped her build a successful career and made it easier for her to deal with bullies.
She loved the arts of performance very much. So, she tried out for the San Francisco School of Arts, and they chose her. At 16, she started getting paid to sing.
She sang at her parents' bookstore, in clubs, on college campuses, and even on television. In the 1990s, she decided to relocate to Los Angeles to find better jobs.
Career
Cho started doing stand-up comedy after a few shows in a club next to her parent's bookstore. She did this for a few years and got better at it in clubs. Cho's career started growing after appearing on TV and on college campuses. In 1992, she had a small part in The Golden Palace, a failed spin-off of The Golden Girls. In 1994, Cho was named the Best Female Comedian by the American Comedy Awards. She also got the coveted job of opening for Jerry Seinfeld. Around the same time, she was in a Bob Hope special and often appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show.
In her autobiography, I'm the One That I Want, which came out in 2002, she wrote about how in 1995, 800 college students booed her off the stage in Monroe, Louisiana because she went on the stage drunk.
Even though her career and personal life were hard after the show was canceled, Cho eventually got sober, refocused her energy, and came up with new ideas. She and Steve Harvey hosted the New Year's Rockin' Eve 95 show. In the thriller Face/Off, which starred Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, she played Wanda, one of Travolta's fellow FBI agents, in a supporting role in 1997.
