Margaret Cho gets new TV show

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Comedian Margaret Cho is making another stab at television — "The Cho Show" premieres on VH1 at 8 p.m. Thursday (repeating at 9:30 p.m.).

Her last experience with ABC was not so successful, she said.

"It was very difficult, and one of the things that I remembered was after I did my first screen test, one executive freaked out and said, 'Please never, ever, ever show your stomach in public ever again. Never.'

"So that's why I'm, like, naked in the show all the time, as you'll see," she says.

In the first episode, Cho's (fictionalized) character is named "Korean of the Year."
