The bisexual comedian has had audiences laughing for decades with her witty sense of humor and jaw dropping one-liners.
Back in December, Cho made headlines by saying she's 'holding space' for Luigi Mangione — the suspected assassin of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare.
"We're holding space for those eyebrows, that body, the abs," Cho said.
While her comments matched her signature sense of comedy, many people didn't find her statement to be funny and English broadcaster Piers Morgan even called her comments 'sickening.' However, Cho is totally unbothered by Morgan's dig and even finds his insult to be complimentary.
"I live and die to be called sickening! That's a high compliment. Piers is always getting pissed off for no reason. I've so had it with Ms. Morgan. Piers, you are not sickening. Who cares about her?"
Cho's resilience is very much needed during these trying times as continued attacks are being made against the LGBTQ+ community across the United States.
"Every day, there's something to be more angry about. The way that we can make sense of it is to come together and be grateful that we have each other. In a sense, we have overcome much worse, so people don't need to lose hope."
The actress is bringing the laughs on her Live & Livid Tour this spring at cities that can really use queer visibility. As the title suggests, Cho is addressing all of the chaos happening around the world by making quite a few jokes about it.
"Why is Elon Musk president? Who eected her? Not cool. Also, you can't spell felon without Elon. I'm talking about them a lot. Also, our man Luigi... he puts the rizz in terrorist! He's so fine."
As if comedy weren't enough, Cho also just dropped her first album in eight years, Lucky Gift, which she considers to be the best music she's ever put out in her career.
"I made a record that's very gay pop. It's summer bangers. It's romantic and it's music for the gays. We need our gay divas to solve the world. All of the gay divas are coming together and we're just going to take over."
