My Take
Margaret Cho is one of those performers I respect on principle. Carrying All-American Girl as the lead of a network sitcom built around an Asian American family in 1994 was a thankless, pioneering burden, and she did it before the culture was ready. What keeps me interested is her refusal to be tidy: she mines race, sexuality and her own pain for comedy that confronts rather than flatters. Comedian, actor, voice artist, musician, designer, she is gloriously hard to categorize. I will always take the artist who fights the world with a microphone over the one who merely entertains it.
