This Week in TGIF: Margaret Cho

Singer-comedian-actress Cho to perform in Hawaii

One thing that surprises about comedian Margaret Cho when speaking to her (in this case, over the phone) is just how incredibly positive she is. Throughout a conversation, she was completely optimistic and, unlike her stage persona, almost demure. No screaming or yelling in heavy Korean accents, just concise answers with a tinge of a Valley Girl.
