Margaret Cho talks about “Drop Dead Diva”


Margaret Cho talks to Broadway World about being in the cast of the Lifetime dramedy Drop Dead Diva which is currently in its third season. Here are some excerpts:

PC: What drew you to DROP DEAD DIVA in the first place? Did the recent reality show lead to this opportunity?

MC: Well, I loved doing reality – to me, it was so fun and it was such a fun show. I never thought about going back to scripted TV – I was just going to do stand-up and that was satisfying to me. But, when this show came around, I read the script and I really loved it.

PC: What struck you most about the script when you first read it? It’s quite high-concept for a dramedy series.

MC: I loved it. I just really thought it was a great script and I got along really well with Josh Berman [the creator]. We got along really well and he really wanted me to be in the show. So, it just happened. It was great. It all clicked.

PC: You’ve gone through some struggles, so it’s great to see you doing everything you want to do all at once – ALL-AMERICAN GIRL on ABC to DROP DEAD DIVA on Lifetime now.

MC: Oh, I know. (Laughs.) Believe me, I know. I really love my life right now. I am really proud of DROP DEAD DIVA and I am really proud of all the different things I’ve gotten to do in my life and career.

PC: Who have been your favorite guest stars on the show? There have been so many.

MC: (Pause.) I think my favorites are probably the comedians, like Rosie O’Donnell and Kathy Griffin and Wanda Sykes. You know, those are the women that I really love and am friends with and, also, a fan of – so, it is always great to work with them and see them do some different stuff. And, it’s really rare to see them act together, so that’s really cool.
