What We’re Talking About 6/4/10

Henry Cho joins us in studio. Henry is at the Addison improv this weekend.  For tix call (972) 404-8501 or visit www.improv.com.  From the start of his career, Cho was determined to be more than just an Asian comic. “I wanted to be a comic—period,” he asserts. And to that end, he has developed routines that work as well at the dinner table as they do at comedy clubs. Cho has distilled his real-life experiences into a one-hour special for Comedy Central, which is currently airing. It’s called Henry Cho: What’s That Clickin’ Noise? It’s a show, he vows, that the whole family can enjoy. Safely. “I haven’t cursed on stage in 20 years. Not once. There’s never been a need. I could do my show in a church. The stories are funny, but the language is clean.” FILM: Material Girls, Say It Isn’t So, McHale’s Navy, Dragon Bone, and Beauregard. TV: The Tonight Show, Friday Night Videos, Bob Hope’s Young Comedians, Revenge of the Nerds III, Designing Women, and The Arsenio Hall Show.
