Henry Cho - Comedian
For Comedian Henry Cho, making the most of who he
is has not been a problem. I'm an Asian with a Southern accent, remarks Cho.
To a lot of people, that right there is funny. Cho, who is Korean American,
was born in Knoxville, TN.
In 1994 Henry got the call from NBC to host NBC's
Friday Night Videos, which he did weekly for two years. While in LA, Cho
became a regular guest/comedian on such shows as The Tonight Show and The
Arsenio Hall Show. His TV credits also include guest roles on various sitcoms
such as CBS, Designing Women and The New WKRP in Cincinnati and a starring
role in FOX's TV movie, Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation. Cho's
many comedy credits include NBC's Bob Hope's Young Comedians Special, MTV's
1/2 Hour Comedy Hour, and Comedy Central.
He has starred opposite Tom Arnold and David Allen
Grier in Universal's McHale's Navy and the Farrelly brothers' movie Say It
Isn't So with Sally Field, Heather Graham and Chris Klein.
This past summer, Cho was the keynote entertainer
for The 59th Annual Radio & Television Correspondents' Dinner. Then, over the
holiday season, Cho, joined Amy Grant and Vince Gill on their annual Christmas
Tour.
Just recently, Cho inked a deal with ABC and Touchstone Studios to develop
his own sitcom in which he will also be co-creator and co-story writer.
