When Margaret Cho apes her mother, affecting a menacing but matronly growl, she gets big laughs. Speaking from her Atlanta home, Cho says her mother is “into it” and “loves” the attention.

Cho appeared as the enigmatic and vertically challenged dictator in three episodes of hit NBC sitcom 30 Rock in 2011 and 2012.

I think that’s what I’d call iron curtain irony.”
