A scene from VH1’s “The Cho Show”: Margaret Cho with her parents, makeup artist John Stapleton and Selena Luna (little person).
Thirteen years after “All American Girl” was yanked off the air, comedian/actress/lifelong-stereotype-buster Margaret Cho returns to the little screen in VH1’s new reality sitcom “The Cho Show.”
Cameras will follow the funnygal and her entourage as she takes on life’s events: lunch with Dave Navarro, conversations with her traditional Korean parents, and — we’re psyched about this one — a KoreAm gala. Starting in August, each episode will feature segments from Cho’s stand-up acts and public appearances, along with the behind-the-scenes preparations that go with them. Guests set to appear on the series include The Go-Go’s, Marilyn Manson, Perez Hilton, Pamela Anderson and Wanda Sykes.
“The show is really gay and really Asian so it’s going to be a really ‘gaysian’ show,” says Cho, 39. “I brought the first Asian American family to TV and now I’m bringing the second Asian American family to TV. It feels good.”
