Title: She is to comedy as Uwe Boll is to film. Post by: Shockeye on November 03, 2005, 12:13:42 PM Quote from: Reuters Cho turns to mom for Fox comedy script (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051103/tv_nm/cho_dc) By Andrew Wallenstein Thu Nov 3, 5:52 AM ET LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Fox Broadcasting Co. is developing a comedy script with comedienne Margaret Cho, who unhappily starred in the short-lived sitcom "All-American Girl" on ABC in 1994-95. The ethnic, multigenerational family comedy is said to involve a character based on Cho's mother that she has made a fixture of her stand-up routine. "I'm very excited about this project because, finally, I get to become my mother," said Cho, who would also executive produce with "Just Shoot Me" writer Susan Dickes. Cho describes the harrowing experience with "All-American Girl" in her concert film "I'm the One That I Want," alleging that ABC pressured her to lose so much weight that it triggered kidney failure. Reuters/Hollywood Reporter Why does she get another deal? She isn't funny. Period. Why can't Sarah Silverman get a deal? C'mon network people, stop doing dumb things.

I feel that this is an appropriate time to use it here. So without further ado... (http://astros-etc.net/forums/images/smiles/puke.gif) Title: Re: She is to comedy as Uwe Boll is to film.

I think she's funny, but I get a kick out of Korean culture (or its spot in American culture, anyway). That said, Shockeye is right. Why the fuck can't Sarah Silverman get a show? Oh, that's right. She loves chinks.

C'mon network people, stop doing dumb things. Forgive the necro, but, how about an indie movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0422528/) with practically no distribution instead? Saw it last night. Amusing, although I'm not a fan of this new 'awkward humor' thing that seems to be going around. Still, money better spent than if I'd gone to see Aeon Flux or something. Disclaimer: gin.

She's good at playing those kind of raving bitches that are so cocky you almost want to punch their lights out.....So you do it to their boyfriends instead.
She's even better than Rosie Perez. Title: Re: She is to comedy as Uwe Boll is to film. Post by: voodoolily on November 22, 2005, 08:58:06 AM I can't believe she's dating Jimmy Kimmel. Lucky bastard. Way to set a precedent for guys shooting WAAAAAY outside their league!
She was an emasculating bitch in School of Rock. Love her! |
