  Letter to the Editor

Comedian Margaret Cho returns to TV on Aug. 21 with her new sitcom-reality show, “The Cho Show.” Airing on VH1, the show documents Cho’s day-to-day life, including her eclectic entourage of friends and interactions with her parents.

The show marks the comedian’s return to television for the first time as a series star since the personally disastrous 1994 sitcom, “All-American Girl,” and Cho told SoVo she looks forward to getting back on the small screen “on my own terms.”

“It’s the first time that I’ve actually been able to figure out how to make my standup into a sitcom format, which is totally unusual and totally different,” Cho says. “It’s like a sitcom but with real people. It’s kind of a different take on what is reality, but what is comedy, so it’s comedy, but it’s also very real and different.”

Cho has long maintained legions of gay fans, and the show is sure to be queer-friendly, including a premiere episode appearance by self-described sex psychic, Belinda Bentley. In the episode, Bentley, a lesbian, councils Cho on exorcising her “haunted vagina.”
