Growing up as an Asian American in the 90s meant slim pickings when it came to representation in the media. My idols were Kristi Yamaguchi, and Margaret Cho. One is an Olympic gold medalist, and the other just got a g-shot in her vagina.
You gotta love The Cho.
Now the All-American Girl has a reality show on VH1 called “The Cho Show,” and you can watch the first episode online here!
She may also add Broken Social Scene member to her resume soon.
Could this be the result of pleading with Kevin Drew’s answering machine during her visit to The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos?
Hi Kevin Drew,
This is Margaret Cho. I am such a fan of yours and I wanna join the Broken Social Scene! There are so many people in the band no one will notice if there’s just one more person. I wanna join, and I can play any instrument. I’ll learn really fast. I’m Asian! I’m a quick study. Please let me join your band!
Will she rock the rain stick or the triangle? I can’t wait to find out.
