VH1 scores with Margaret Cho's return to TV

Margaret Cho's "The Cho Show" premieres 11 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 21 on VH1. Based on the clips I've seen, the show looks hilarious.

Back in April, I interviewed the the comic while she was in the process of filming the VH1 celeb-reality series. Here's her take:

Comedian Margaret Cho is a bit preoccupied lately because, well, she’s making a skin flick.

"Is it raunchy? Absolutely," she jokes, giving the lowdown on the simulated sex scenes for her upcoming celeb-reality project, "The Cho Show," which will mark the comedian’s return to primetime TV after a 14-year hiatus.

The VH1 series follows the 39-year-old and her eccentric entourage as she deals with her family and friends while working a hectic stand-up career.

Cho, who had a disastrous experience with her ABC sitcom "All-American Girl" before it was cancelled in 1994, says she has no fear as she prepares to make a triumphant return to the small screen.

"I don’t have any reservations about being back on TV because it’s a reality show and I love the reality-show format," she says. "It follows my day-to-day life so it would be really difficult to go bad this time around."
