Margaret Cho says Ellen DeGeneres was 'not nice' to her for most of her career: 'It's so creepy and weird'


Margaret Cho says Ellen DeGeneres was 'not nice' to her for most of her career even though the two have known each other since theirs days in the 1980s comedy circuit: 'We go way back. It's so creepy and weird.'

The actress and comic then recalled a specific incident that stuck with her when another guest praised her on DeGeneres' talk show. Cho had attended a David Bowie concert dressed in what she described as a "Chinese emperor outfit," and the next day, while visiting the show, the singer complimented her elaborate attire to DeGeneres. In her final stand-up special, 2024's Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, the comedian joked how the toxic workplace allegations got her " kicked out of show business."
