Margaret Cho’s Memoir I’m The One That I Want (with Joy Osmanski)
Listen now
Description
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.” If you or anyone you know is struggling, there's help available at Crisis Text Line by texting the word HOME to 741-741, or the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK.  Show Notes: Listen to our episode with Margaret Cho Anastasia Zadeik’s “The Other Side of Nothing” (Book Chelsea references) Shoes Video Text Message Break Up Video -- Liam Kyle Sullivan (aka "Shoes" guy) Book tour info here!
