Jaded Blogger Actually Impressed By The Trailer For The Cho Show
Whoa! What just happened? Did the trailer for Margaret Cho's new reality show, which premieres on Vh1 next Thursday, actually jerk both an LOL AND a few tears from my bored, seen-it-all face? I expected the show to be better than your Kathy Griffins or your Pamela Andersons, but I didn't expect it to seem so simultaneously entertaining and possibly worth something to the world. It starts out like it's going to be your usual "spoiled narcissist and the zany characters on her payroll" reality show template, but Margaret Cho isn't a spoiled narcissist and she actually has something to say. I mean, besides all that vagina stuff. ALSO GARY BUSEY:
How ironic is it that the circus-sideshow aspect of this reality show is the fact that it's about someone with perspective and self-respect. What a freak!

i mostly agree, but that part at the end where she turns to her midget faux-la pequena assistant and says in that very after-school special way, 'do you know what it's like to be told that you're too fat to play yourself?' was just a little too tyra banks confessional to me. however other than that, this show may go a long way in making the cho palatable to me again. (have you read her blog? she's kinda the worst)

I think you're right that this show will prove that Margaret Cho isn't spoiled or narcissistic, just as it will prove that she's not interesting or funny.
Score = 1
I can't believe I'm going to say this but....I think I'm going to tivo this. There I said it. Everytime I see Margaret Cho's face I tell whomever is next to me I don't like her & she's not funny. But this stupid show actually looks kinda funny. Oh my gosh, I'm going to get beat up if anyone finds out I watch this when it comes on. Shhhhhhh
