Henry Cho

For Comedian Henry Cho, making the most of who he is has not been a problem.

"I'm an Asian with a Southern accent", remarks Cho. "To a lot of people, that right there is funny".

Cho, who is Korean American, was born in Knoxville, TN.

In 1994 Henry got the call from NBC to host NBC's Friday Night Videos, which he did weekly for two years. While in LA, Cho became a regular guest/comedian on such shows as The Tonight Show and The Arsenio Hall Show. His TV credits also include guest roles on various sitcoms such as CBS' Designing Women and The New WKRP in Cincinnati and a starring role in FOX's TV movie, Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation. Cho's many comedy credits include NBC's Bob Hope's Young Comedians Special, MTV's 1/2 Hour Comedy Hour, and Comedy Central.

He has starred opposite Tom Arnold and David Allen Grier in Universal's McHale's Navy and the Farrelly brothers' movie Say It Isn't So with Sally Field, Heather Graham and Chris Klein.

In June 2003, Cho was the keynote entertainer for the 59th Annual Radio & Television Correspondents' Dinner attended by Vice President Cheney.

For the 2003 holiday season, Cho, joined Amy Grant and Vince Gill on their annual Christmas Tour and has been asked back for the 2004 Christmas Tour. Just recently, Cho inked a deal with ABC and Touchstone Studios to develop his own sitcom in which he will also be co-creator and co-story writer.
