Margaret Cho joins today’s episode of Radio Andy’s “The Julia Cunningham Show” to discuss her new stand-up comedy tour. During her conversation with Julia, Margaret reveals that she was asked to join “The Apprentice” several times over the years and claims that Donald Trump was once a notable fan of her stand-up comedy.
“I was asked several times to be on it, season after season, and they kept saying, ‘Well, Donald Trump really loves you. Please come on,’ and I just had a bad feeling about it because I did go on one of the challenges ’cause my friend Cyndi Lauper was competing one year, and so she did something at a diner, so I went and I helped out,” Margaret says. “I was at the diner, and so I was part of an episode, but I never actually was a contestant, but I was asked several times because Donald Trump was a fan, and at the beginning of the campaign in 2016, Michael Cohen somehow got my email and was really begging me to become part of the campaign and I’m like, “That’s insane. I’m a lifelong Democrat. Why would I back somebody that I didn’t know anything about.’”
