Margaret Cho

I'm Oliver Jovina here at the Young Hollywood Studio, outside in this lovely gorgeous weather with the gorgeous Margaret Show. How are you?

I'm doing great. Thank you.

So, drop dead diva, obviously, you're on at the moment. Um, but you have your new, uh, your new CD and your new tour coming out.

Yeah. Cho Dependent.

Cho Dependent. I like that. Cho Dependent. Very clever.

Well, because you're going to be addicted to it. Addiction is very easy, so.

And tell us about it. It's a CD, but it's comedy, it's music.

I wanted to do a comedy album, but I wanted to do it with songs as jokes. And I hope you weren't in too much pain. I guess I'm criminally insane. So, it's a really good musical album, but it's just jokes. Yeah, it it rocks. But it's, you know, all sort of rude jokes, dirty jokes.

Sounds sounds good to me. It's good. It's addicting already. And, uh, there's one track on there that the the story that I read behind it is amazing. I'm sorry.

Oh, well, that's a horrible, horrible story that I was really in love with somebody in 1994. But I turned 40, and I thought, I should find out what he's doing because, you know, at 40, everybody kind of gets rid of their spouse and starts again. You know. Like, so I thought, this might be a this might be a good time. So, I looked him up online, and his name came up and it said, he's, you know, American producer, uh, wrote on all-American girl with Margot Cho. And in 2007, he was convicted of the murder of his wife.

Wow.

So, it's really good that we didn't hook up. That's great because otherwise, I wouldn't be working today. Right. Also, I'm not a good judge of character. Obviously. I shouldn't pick him.

From that experience, probably not.

Probably not. Yeah, I shouldn't.

That makes it a little bit easier to get over someone, doesn't it?

Well, yeah, it does if they're a murderer.

Well, that's good then. That's good. You look very happy and bubbly and Has your mom heard your CD?

Uh, she hasn't heard it. Although, I have written a song with her to sing on the next one. I told her I wanted to be a comedian when I was 14 and and, uh, she said, oh, maybe it's better if you just died. Okay. But now her attitude has changed. She's much she's much more supportive.

I like that you didn't listen to that.

Yeah.

Because once again, you would have died.

Yeah, exactly.

For reasons along the way, why you could have or would have or more deaths. Yeah, yeah. Let's let's move on from death. Okay. Um, drop dead diva, you've, uh, worked with some amazing they've had some amazing cameos on that show.

Yes, and, uh, it it it's Liza Minnelli. And and Cybill Shepherd. I love the message of it, which is all about feeling beautiful and women of all different sizes can feel good about themselves and feel they can be loved and cherished and and so I think that's a wonderful message to have out there.

Did you know about Parker and Kim?

I suspect it. I don't get it. I mean, what is he doing with her? I guess he's into dirty blondes. Emphasis on the dirty.

Um, we have a few little, uh, questions in my pocket. You wondered what I was reaching for then, didn't you?

Yes.

It's Battle of the Divas. Battle of the Divas. Yeah. So, you ready? You've got to pick.

Ready.

Your favorite. Right. Share or Liza Minnelli?

Oh, that's a There's a hard one. That's right. Yeah, that's really tough because I love Share. I mean, I would but I love Liza. So.

You've got to make a choice. I'm sorry.

Okay, Liza.

Okay, wow. Share. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Um, and last but not least, Ryan Seacrest or Simon Cowell?

I would say Ryan, because he's just kind of cheery.

Okay. Don't stick with the Brits. Okay. That's fine.

Nothing personal. That was weird.

Well, good luck with Cho Dependent.

Thank you.

I'm addicted. Hope everyone else out there gets addicted. Um, very lovely, bubbly, funny lady, and Share, I'm sorry about what she said. I would have chosen you. I believe in life after love.
