Margaret Cho’s Memoir I’m The One That I Want (with Joy Osmanski)
Join Chelsea and guest Joy Osmanski as they dive into the poignant and candid memoir of comedy icon Margaret Cho. Learn how Margaret uses comedy to survive her childhood, and later Hollywood, when she becomes the first Korean-American to be the lead of a 1994 sitcom that was based on her own life. (Hollywood quickly ruined that of course.) Margaret discusses everything from dating Quentin Tarantino to internalized sexism and racism to the good Karen in her life, and “Fat as a feminist issue.”

Customer Reviews
I love this podcast
My gateway drug to celebrity memoirs. I’m obsessed with them now after this podcast. Chelsea is a great host who picks fantastic guests and I always enjoy her perspective and the books! Discovered via her guest spot on 2 Black Girls 1 Rose. Happy subscriber of the patreon now too.
Shout out from Dublin, Ireland
Stumbled upon this podcast and it only took one episode to become hooked. The modern day (& way more enjoyable) version of Cliff Notes..! Chelsea is so engaging.. love it.
