Join Chelsea and guest Joy Osmanski as they dive into the poignant and candid memoir of comedy icon Margaret Cho. Learn how Margaret uses comedy to survive her childhood, and later Hollywood, when she becomes the first Korean-American to be the lead of a 1994 sitcom that was based on her own life. (Hollywood quickly ruined that of course.) Margaret discusses everything from dating Quentin Tarantino to internalized sexism and racism to the good Karen in her life, and “Fat as a feminist issue.”
