BY EMMA SPECTER Justice for Margaret Cho’s too-good-for-its-time sitcom, All-American Girl! Okay, it was decidedly not perfect, but it was the first prime-time sitcom to feature an Asian American family, and Cho has rarely been given the credit she deserves for her boundary-pushing perspectives on cultural identity and queerness. (Also see her very funny recent turn in […]
Let me tell you kids, there was never such a great comedian as the tremendous Bill Hicks. I had the good fortune of knowing him, even opening for him at the beginning of my career in show business and life. I loved him and worshipped him and I was not alone. My friend attended his […]

Few people have the supernatural powers of persuasion of Margaret Cho. After collaborating on music for Cho Dependent, she got me to strum the very exotic and scatological “Shit-Tar” in her music video Eat Shit & Die while three dancing turds did high kicks about the stage. This summer I found myself in a small […]
This gem of a video was directed by Tani Ikeda and stars me and Grant Lee Phillips and some amazing dancers! We shot this in downtown LA in July on a single soundstage – really like an old school MTV music video and it was very exciting to be styled in all these incredible looks […]
I love Ani DiFranco and it was such a dream to collaborate on this song with her. We wanted to write a light and happy love song, and I really think Captain Cameltoe is just that. She played everything, and sang backup, encouraging the captain onward. I sang/spoke the lead, and we did it all […]
Margaret Cho – What to Wear to the Grammy’s for Cho Dependent! from Margaret Cho on Vimeo.
I love this video and this song with Tegan and Sara. We shot it in Houston on a brief moment where all of us were free. Louis Van Amstel makes a fun little cameo too as we were right in the midst of “Dancing with the Stars” madness. Liam Sullivan directed this gem of a […]
Margaret’s new musical comedy album, Cho Dependent, was just named as one of the Grammy nominees for Best Comedy Album, along with albums from Flight of the Conchords, Kathy Griffin, Lewis Black and Robin Williams! Cho Dependent was released on Margaret’s own label, Clownery Records, in conjunction with Redeye Distribution, in August. A collection of […]
I wrote this song with Ben Lee who I absolutely worship. He helped me so much with the album and I can never thank him enough. He send me the instrumental when I was in Morocco last year, and recovering from a rather mild case of head lice. I didn’t know what the song was […]
Carl Newman made the demo for “Your Dick” on the voice note recorder on my recently deceased Blackberry. Keep your iPhones and your apps. I don’t care if there’s a guitar tuner and chord finder on your iPhone. I am unimpressed by the fact you can turn your iPhone sideways and the picture elongates and […]
Sometimes you are just so heartbroken you just don’t know what to do. This is a dangerous moment in what seems like everyone’s life. It doesn’t have to be a romantic heartbreak, but this is usually what it is. It could be some other catastrophic disappointment, caused by the carelessness and selfishness of another. People […]
