Margaret Cho is one of the funniest women in comedy. She's also a force to be reckoned with throughout the world of entertainment. After starting out as a stand-up comic at age 14, the San Francisco native later starred in 1994's "All-American Girl," the first TV series to feature an Asian American family. Starting in 2009, Cho starred as Teri Lee on the Lifetime comedy "Drop Dead Diva," where she remained for six seasons. In 2011, she nabbed an Emmy nomination for her role as Kim Jong-Il on "30 Rock."

In 2022, the five-time Grammy nominee starred in the Hulu Original rom-com "Fire Island." Beyond the screen, the singer and bestselling author has been killing it for years with her live shows. Her one-woman show, "I'm The One That I Want," was a smash hit off-Broadway, and "Notorious C.H.O." sold out Carnegie Hall. In 2017, Rolling Stone named Cho one of the 50 Best Stand-Up Comics of All Time.

While many comedians draw on their personal struggles for material, Cho has been through some of the worst you can imagine. Yet, she doesn't hesitate to find humor in spite of her pain. "Laughter is this involuntary intake of breath which you don't expect. It carries you into life to live the next moment," the performer told The Cut. This is the story of her extraordinary life, and how comedy may have saved it.
