Margaret Cho (Promotional Photo / September 26, 2012) |
Margaret Cho and Rich Little are two comedians who've been at it for a long time. Well, one much longer than the other: Cho burst onto the scene 20 years ago with her biting critiques of social and political problems, focusing on close-to-home issues for her like race and sexuality. Rich Little, on the other hand, has been at it for 50 years. He does impressions, and is known as "The Man of 1,000 Voices." Most of the voices he's famous for are of celebrities who are no longer among the living (Jimmy Stewart, George Burns, Ronald Reagan and John Wayne), so let's see if he's updated his act to include more, uh, modern people and topics.
