Ha ha. Cute. I think that's the only television-show episode I've watched in its entirety in the past two years.

And the pink necklace she wore to the awards ceremony is gorgeous. I want to know where she got it 'cause I want one.

Yeah, it doesn't take much to make me cry and of course I was tearing up at the end of this. Laughing at myself now, but I think the show has so much going on all at once. It's smart, it's funny, it's emotional, and brings up a lot of important issues. Go Cho!!!

I wish you guys wouldn't post videos that are only viewable in the United States. It makes the rest of us feel not terribly special.

Thanks so much for posting this. I expected it to be just funny, but at the end, I had tears streaming down my cheeks! I feel the same way the woman reading the letter does. : ) Listening to Margaret and Bobby Lee talk about being accepted as Americans, although with humor, was touching and insightful. I think they are as American as Apple Pie and Kemshi! I love how they are modern, but reach back to their roots for their work. Stuff like this makes me love the diversity of this country all over again. Thanks for everything Margaret Cho! Just brilliant.

Awww I love Margaret Cho.. sucks that they've blocked me out for being in Australia :( Was really looking forward to it too!

I love Cho. So very much. Her Korean Entertainer of the Year speech made me laugh so hard. However, I'm not a big fan of this episode. I feel like the entire show was rushed. Like they were trying to fit in too much into the first show. A dress battle, parents wanting her to have a baby, her relationship with her assistant, Korean Entertainer Award, AND Jeffery is much too much. It all felt cramped. I hope this smooths out as the show progresses.

Post-Impressionism offered Bloomsbury painters a new means of thinking about representation in painting in which the artist’s formal vision outweighed the need for fidelity to the subject. Moral opprobrium was heaped on Post-Impressionism upon its English debut, just as public derision underlay the suspicion and scorn often accorded the products of the Omega Workshops.

But Woolf, whose closest friends were the central English proponents of the new style, recognized a different kind of import in what she saw at the Post-Impressionist exhibitions. No wonder she wrote to her sister that she felt they were living in a “Post-Impressionist age.” To the Lighthouse draws expressly on the visual language of Post-Impressionist abstraction to resolve the social dilemma around which the novel turns, a dilemma the character Mrs. Ramsay takes as her credo: “people must marry, people must have children.”

“Post-Impressionism” was a term first coined by Roger Fry when in 1910, he, Desmond MacCarthy, and Clive Bell mounted the first large-scale exhibition in England of paintings by a number of European artists, featuring most prominently Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, Gaugin, and Van Gogh. The show was hastily put together, but it contained an astonishing array of pictures, many of which are now considered icons of modern art, including Van Gogh’s Crows in the Wheatfield and Dr Gachet. The exhibition exposed British audiences to a generation of mostly French painters not previously seen in England. From the beginning the show created a sensation and was at the center of a controversy that drew more and more visitors; over the course of its run it was attended by an impressive twenty-five thousand people, each of whom paid a shilling to get in.
