中文名：玛格丽特·曹 外文名：Margaret Moran Cho 国籍：美国 出生地：美国加利福尼亚州旧金山 职业：喜剧演员、演员、音乐家、活动家 生日：1968年12月5日 简介：Margaret Cho is one of the more visible Asian-American women of her time. Although probably best remembered for her short-running sitcom All-American Girl, Korean-American comedienne Margaret Cho has come a long way since then. Margaret Cho is a living example of what can happen to you when you become a poster child for someone else's idea of political correctness. Having survived a media blitz, her startling career charts her professional growth (in fits and starts) as well as personal. In her self-produced off-Broadway show I'm the One That I Want (and autobiographical book by the same name) Margaret Cho tells all -- and doesn't leave out the gory parts. From her rise to fame to the network's shame (telling a thin girl to get thinner to play herself on television), and how she has overcome a lifetime of enculturated self-hatred that's manifested in the form of bad boyfriends and career moves, drug and alcohol abuse, and a chronic eating disorder, Cho lays it on the line -- humorously, of course. This time, with Cho given (a gift to herself) full creative control, instead of being panned by the critics, she won NY Magazine's "Performance of the Year," with a series of other accolades to follow. The Notorious C.H.O. (as she refers to herself in the title of her second show) received a G.L.A.A.D. (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Award honoring her specifically, as "an entertainment pioneer who has made a significant difference promoting equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or identity." For addressing the concerns of women and women's changing roles, Ms. Cho was granted the distinguished Gracie Allen Award. She was also featured on Remarkable Journey, a show highlighting the accomplishments of women of color. Although she spent a few years out of the (critical) public eye, Ms. Cho has "redeemed her good name" by speaking candidly about her nightmare with network television on shows like NPR's Fresh Air, and Comedy Central's Politically Correct -- a far cry from the more mainstream Bob Hope-type circuit that jumpstarted her earlier career. Like a phoenix, the Notorious C.H.O. has risen to much fanfare and to the delight of a huge non-network television-watching following. Margaret Cho was born in San Francisco, after her parents moved here from Seoul. She grew up on Haight Street in the '70s and got kicked out of high school before being accepted to McAteer High School for the Performing Arts. At age 16 she started performing comedy in a club called the Rose and Thistle, which was above her parents' bookstore. There she won a comedy contest. First prize: opening act for Jerry Seinfeld. She has toured the country extensively, been nominated for Campus Comedian of the Year, and in 1994, she won the American Comedy Award for Best Female Comedian. Ms. Cho has also contributed writing and acting to several movies. In August 2002, Cho issued The Notorious C.H.O., a double-disc capturing the last night of her 2001 North American comedy tour at Carnegie Hall. A film of the same name followed in late September. Two years later, Cho once again captured her sold out Revolution tour on both CD and DVD. Revolution went on to be nominated for a Grammy for best comedy album of the year. Assassin, which was filmed at the Warner Theatre in Washington D.C., was released in October 2005. 从艺历程：2008 年 9 月，赵约翰在iTunes上发布了她的单曲《我是女人》。这首歌由德斯蒙德·查尔德（Desmond Child）制作，并在她的VH1系列节目中播出。 2010 年全年，她都在制作一张完整的专辑，先是制作了《Guitarded》和《Banjovi》，最后定下了《Cho Dependent》。这张专辑于 2010 年 8 月 24 日发行，由《I'm Sorry》、《Eat Shit and Die》和《My Lil' Wayne》等音乐视频支持；前两部由Liam Kyle Sullivan执导。这张专辑获得了 2010 年格莱美最佳喜剧专辑奖提名。2011 年，Showtime发行了一部脱口秀特别节目，名为《Margaret Cho: Cho Dependent》，其中收录了专辑中的音乐表演。 2010 年 5 月，赵丽颖执导并出演了音乐视频《I Wanna Be a Bear》，这首歌由Jill Sobule的化名“Pixie Herculon”演唱。2011 年，赵丽颖在与Grant-Lee Phillips共同举办的致敬音乐会See A Little Light上演唱了Bob Mould 的歌曲《Your Favorite Thing》。同年，她出现在 Liam Kyle Sullivan 的一些 YouTube 视频中。 2014 年 7 月，她出现在“怪人奥尔”扬科维奇的音乐视频“ Tacky ”中。 2016 年 4 月，赵丽颖发行了第二张专辑《American Myth》。 2016 年 5 月，她在说唱歌手奥卡菲娜的歌曲《绿茶》的音乐视频中出镜并说唱。这两首歌都以东亚裔的刻板印象为主题，希望“有色人种女性能够热情地拥抱她们的古怪、性感、内在的童真和创造力。” 此外，在 2016 年，Cho 在美国变装皇后兼歌手/艺术家 Ginger Minj 的 专辑《Sweet T》中的曲目“Ride or Die”中担任主唱。
