Margaret Cho on Chappelle, Tarantino and Alt-Comedy

<p>Nearly three decades after starring in the first major sitcom to center on an Asian-American family, Margaret Cho is more “hopeful” than ever about the opportunities for Asian-American comedians. In this episode, Cho talks about how she would approach that sitcom differently today and tells stories about dating director Quentin Tarantino and acting opposite Nicolas Cage and John Travolta. She also weighs in on Dave Chappelle’s jokes about the bisexual community and reflects on the backlash she received after portraying an exaggerated North Korean character alongside Tina Fey and Amy Poehler at the Golden Globes.</p><p><br></p><p>Get tickets to see Margaret Cho perform live at <a href="https://www.netflixisajokefest.com/artists/margaret-cho" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Netflix Is a Joke Fest</a></p><p><br></p><p>This episode was originally published on November 19th, 2019.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Margaret Cho on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/margaretcho" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@margaretcho</a> and Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/margaret_cho" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@margaret_cho</a></p><p>Follow Matt Wilstein on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/mattwilstein" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mattwilstein</a></p><p>Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lastlaughpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@lastlaughpod</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Highlights from this episode and others at <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/the-last-laugh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Daily Beast</a></p><p><br></p> &#10;&nbsp;<br /><hr><p style='color: grey; font - size: 0.75em; '>See <a style='color: grey; ' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
