Cho has ... been outspoken about her dislike of current President Bush. She began to draw intense fire from conservatives over her fiercely anti-Bush commentary; a live performance in Houston, Texas was threatened with picketing. Although protesters never showed up, she held a counter protest outside the club until security told her she had to go inside [17] . In 2004, Cho was performing at a corporate gig in a hotel when, after ten minutes, her microphone was cut off and a band was instructed to begin playing. Cho claims this was because the manager of the hotel was offended by anti-Bush-administration comments. Cho's payment, which was issued by way of check directly to a non-profit organization, West Memphis, initially bounced but was eventually honored [18].

Cho's fans worship her unique, raunchy, non-mainstream voice. They haven't been complaining as her routines have become more about activism than they are about belly laughs, though you might notice that in filmed pre-show interviews, what are mostly quoted are benign lines from Cho's first two films. Those were the ones that focused on relationships, sexuality, and the comic's personal triumph over Everywoman problems such as weight, discrimination, substance abuse, as well as a failed sitcom. Those were ... the ones in which impressions of her Korean mother happened often, and they brought down the house every time.

Cho's publicist asked if she could come on the show to announce her new tour. She had been scheduled to appear on Jan. 23rd for over a month. A couple days ago she said she had to cancel. She gave no reason.
