This week at the Television Critics Association Press Tour, Margaret Cho talked to reporters about her upcoming "semi-scripted" comedy on VH1, The Cho Show: TCA: Margaret Cho brings television its second all-Asian series.

The show revolves around Cho's real-life parents (a frequent source of material for her stand-up) and her 3-foot-10-inch assistant Selene Luna. She describes it as "kind of a cross between Madonna's 'Truth or Dare,' 'Joy Luck Club' and 'Little People, Big World.' What the-!?

In truth, the series follows Cho and her family as they improv their way through scripted situations. During the first episode, Margaret tells her parents that a magazine has named her "Korean of the Year," and the show follows the family's trip to San Francisco, where she'll accept the award.

I'm very intrigued about this show. Hopefully, it'll be so awesome, we'll all forget the suckiness of 1994's All-American Girl, Margaret's first attempt to bring the Asian American family to television. Those were dark years. The Cho Show premieres on August 21 on VH1.
