Margaret Cho: Notorious C.H.O. (2002 TV Special)
3/10
Sold Out to Niche Audience
3 January 2003
Cho is a brilliant and insightful comedienne with a remarkable history. Then, Notorious C.H.O. reveals a selling out to stay in the limelight by pandering to a freaky demented audience (clearly depicted at start of show as they enter the Paramount). Staying alive in this business is hard, and if tailoring raunch to a twisted niche fanbase is what it takes to keep a comic in the public eye, it's hard to criticize. Beats the hell out of being an extra on MASH. Somehow, though, the messages and humor could be delivered in a more broadly palatable manner. I really adore her, saw her in the Village years ago, I just feel like I'm losing her.
