Comedian Margaret Cho
Episode 86, Aug 03, 2019, 02:26 AM
Rolling Stone Magazine ranks Margaret Cho as one of the 50 greatest stand-up comedians of all time.
After being bullied as a kid, Cho became a stand up as a teenager. She's been working at it ever since.
Cho blazed a trail for Asian American women in comedy. Her 1990's ABC sitcom "All-American Girl" broke new ground.
In this podcast extra with "The Issue Is:," we discuss Margaret's new podcast "The Margaret Cho," her sources for news, and her conservative friends.
We talk about comedy in the social media era, her process for constructing a joke, and what candidates she's favoring in 2020.
The whole time, she's joined by her puppy!
