Cho is wonderful. My wife, who is Asian, laughs harder with her than any other comic. And I appreciate that Cho has always put what she believes in ahead of money. We could use more like her.
Love Maggie Cho, [my endearment but she may think it crass. Sorry dollface] ...and love…. is always.
We know love has no gender! Hugs to Mz Cho. xx
Thanks to Akito for the article, well done.
