telecom operators and procurement suppliers the. before we. all would be getting into is the. other this is smaller players who are spearheading in they'll be shown the software before that so it seems like the singapore government is the really behind the rollout of 5 g. and not a very fast paced here unlike what we're seeing here in the u.s. so do you think that we're seeing a shift here where technology in asia and connectivity in asia is going to surpass that of the u.s. anytime soon definitely so because as you have see in korea south korea is the 1st country to roll out commercial flight 2 pilots are being done in china in singapore in the japan or so so these are countries that have tried to even the militia telecom lasers to the pilot for certain obligations in 5 g. or 5 you come to an area where by if you combine the need for high speed

with. what they call the low delays will be can see. you're able to do stuff that. where you can capture bigger ones all the time and if i use a machine we're looking at the back. 5 and connectivity is essentially going to be the backbone for the entire economy so absolutely what do you think which industries are going to be the most affected by the rollout of 5 g. i think. a lot of common infectious the. seriously looking are far more doable to make the. most cost of the actually electronic systems these are true with a lot of software so most cars already equipped with google or you know. i pad. are thought. they're just electronic devices and they all need to be connected to the internet so that. one or 2. we the truth.

allows you to do online streaming information. you can do. sol so that. is a whole new paradigm shift that you should see right there in the story scenario so in the auto industry and so how ingrained is singapore with like the entire security industry the cyber security and networking industry was very important cybersecurity for the new battles are being fought in the cyber warfare. world war in the grow better field i mean they're still there but more and more is being fought. in the deep. cycle on the ground. so security as we begin to gather more information with high definition cameras because more important they keep this in from these are part of the forward

part of the news in the government has a duty to make sure that security around. all this data that we capture because you can be a one time is absolutely right yeah yeah you have to make sure they're secure so with everything the new technology comes along thank you so much michel thank you christine i. mean finally as the craft beer industry continues to expand and become the potent potable of choice for younger consumers one company has decided to pick up the pace and expand even further delaware based dogfish head brewery has been promoting its sequence as a healthier alternative to have your beers marketing the beer to those with a quote active lifestyle but now they're stepping it up to a new level the brewery has announced a collaboration with shoemaker merrill to create a beer themed running shoe in the image of its sequence. this soon shoe will

asian americans to be in anything and so it's very frustrating to feel that invisible plus i would you describe your comedy really really dirty and then something to live by very low brow and then high brow for a 2nd then come back again that's all next on larry king mel. welcome to larry king now i'm tom green filling in for larry today and i'm happy to have the very funny margaret cho to the show margaret's a talented comedian known for her outspoken comedy specials critiquing social and political issues particularly regarding race and sexuality and in 2012 she was nominated for an emmy for her guest appearance on 30 rock as kim jong il margaret also appears on season 2 of this close which premieres on sundance now on september 12th she also has a new podcast called the margaret show and is currently on a comedy tour the margaret show show. that's great are you enjoying the new podcast

i love it i think it's really fun i mean i was pod casting actually at the dawn of podcasting in 2012 and i did it for a while i really loved it but i just kind of it was a lot to you know kind of figure it out and also do like stand up and everything so i kind of gave it up but now i started again which it's really fun if you had a favorite interview so far my favorite interview i just did well the episode that's out right now which i really liked was diablo cody who i think is really she's really amazing and really interesting and and i just admire her so much and then the the guys who run the tama finland house who tama finland of course is a very famous erotic artist obana finland who do all the beautiful portraits of men with a big like lantern job was having. very explicit sex with each other so there's

a variety of different kinds of people and i like that you know to me it's very interesting to go into these different aspects of society and different people in different areas whether it's oscar winning screen writers or you know erotic art foundation preservers it's great your comedy you go into all sorts of different areas like i think so yes how would you describe your comedy really dirty jokes and then something like a zen koan so it's really really dirty and then something to live by really really it's a big deal about i think that's what it is it's like very low brow and then high brow for a 2nd then come back again do you remember when you knew you wanted to do comedy for the 1st time i think i was about 8 or 9 years old and it was seeing joan rivers on television and just amazed at what she was able to do because she seemed to have this intimacy with an audience who they just knew her and knew what

she was about and i thought what a great thing that she was so familiar to people already even though i was just seeing her for the 1st time and and i don't know i think that like i was a lonely kid so it just was this amazing thing like here's somebody who just automatically has friends and i thought that's exactly what i want to do and and so i decided to be a comedian which was like only after i decide i decided i was going to wonder woman and then i change my mind of wonder woman and i was like i'm going to be a comedian instead and you grew up in san francisco which is an incredible comedy town almost history there i was just there and i took a walk up and down polk street oh yes or you're not a bookstore there yes on polk in california and above my parents' bookstore there was a comedy club called the rose and the salt was a british pub but they had a comedy and at the entrance you could purchase rotting tomatoes ok i could throw them all but as a comedian. oh i mean and never got in the one thrown at me because i was really

young girl but i think you know that was the kind of place that was you know a good sort testing ground for whether or not you wanted to do comedy do you grow up around bra been williams and yeah mount of the punchline yes the mr the been an incredible incredible oh he was the doorman at this club called the holy city zoo which i was going under and he end ended up buying it and so that he would ride his bike over from marin at every night and do sets there are like he would just common and you know were just like open makers and he would just common do the sets and get honest by can go home and and it was a really amazing thing just to have this huge star there are all the time and i mean i think it was really it was inspiring and also this realization that let comedy there something about comedy that there's that those a lot of egalitarianism because the audience is a great leveller you know no matter how big of a star you are you still have to be good you still have to be funny and so your

fame will buy you maybe 30 seconds of an audience is good graces but then you have to really deliver how do you come up with material what the what does it how do you decide what you're going to talk about i think it's like you just try to think what's amusing for you in then see if there something good about it so the new just go down that go down that path i think but there's all sorts of different ways you know i don't really sit and write things down i mean i do some writing for different things and i sit down and i do it but then with comedy i don't do you ever sit down at a computer industry writing lately i've been starting to feel like maybe that's weird people tell me they don't do that that much i take notes on my phone yeah that's what i really do a lot of that and then i forget and then i have to look at it and then i'm like oh i only need a little bit of prompting to remember what the whole thing is which is good comedy sort of leaves these paths in your brain that you can follow pretty easily i think

most comedians are like that so you just these are bullet points but i don't i don't really have the discipline with comedy to sit there and just write it all out but you know some people they need to do that because it's like they have to have some jokes or like very concise and short math problems that sort of like mitch hedberg was kind of like math problems and it and he would have to write so many jokes to fill up an hour you talk about your parents i just run a blog yet was was what's your is that accurate your portrayal of your yes well i think that it's this thing for asian americans is that when we were growing up it's so embarrassing to have really foreign parents and so you want to separate yourself from them by emphasizing their foreignness and so most asian american kids do you have an impression somewhere about their parents that they do and almost all is an american comediennes also do the same thing because it's something that we did naturally just especially if you're

a 1st generation born here then you really want to emphasize that you're american that you're not like your parents and that you want to make that distance more apparent by mocking them. and what's mom think about she's how did they you don't do excellent be accurate impression of me i think is not big this is not good but it's. perfect but this is not manic so he does it much better and you have a friend with you as well this is the chia catarina she has a new puppy and c. is a new puppy she's about 9 months old and shoeless she's very. 9 months old she's very good you take a look she go on the road with you and it feels good because it's like this feeling of like oh you're bringing your home with you and it's very comforting and you know when you live out on the road as most of us do most comedians do it's hard to feel like connected to home so she's basically my home how often are you on the road all

the time yeah i think yeah it's a favorite city well i love san francisco it's always means my hometown and it's where i love to go and and of course i love new york i love london it's so fun to go and perform just in you know different places like that and you know sydney and melbourne it's so exciting or hong kong or or you know seoul it's it's very like it's it's it's like well i'm actually being able to do this all over the world that's incredible when you go to korea and perform in korea they must know you from your emmy nominated. character playing kim yong yasiel and carry on and play belle all of them. i think well yeah but i would be scared to go to north korea because they don't like they don't take it probably one of the north korea that they're mad about it i think not a big comedy scene up there no you know no not huge pyongyang improv. really

there should they should have a appealing and catch you get me they're going to open levity. because you're new dramatic series this close on sundance who do you play on the show i play a very disturbed lady who actually also. has a tiny dog named tinsley and she's in rehab so it's a very it's a very close to the bone perfect this is very serious is it was created by 2 deaf performers in a store in the series it's got a lot of praise from the from the community how was the show breaking barriers this is it really is because it's really you know it's a world that we don't see on television often enough and it's really i think it's really important i think it's really groundbreaking and it's really satisfying i think it's

a beautiful show and it was exciting to be on it so it when i started off as kind of like this thing on online and then they were able to get so much of a following that they got the snow and you know it's in the 2nd season now so it's great to be on it and i mean i think it's it's really meaningful to have all different kinds of representation in television and movies and so now we're seeing more of that you know with this close and many other programs you think you think hollywood's doing a better job with you know with talking about you know diverse stories yes i think they're getting better at it because we also have these incredibly talented creators bringing their stories to life and they're you know taking them to you tube and they're taking them out to people that you know want to see that see this different world and so i love that we kind of in this politically correct era right now gone too far i don't know i think it's there's a lot of good things that can come out of political correctness in that we can monitor our own language to say well if we talk about things in this way use these

words we're emphasizing a culture that's a very derogatory to minorities in different ways in that we don't even know because the language has been so prevalent for so long that it seemed ok to say these things and then so i think that you know but then there's the culture of outrage that it's like everybody's outraged about everything all the time and it almost burns itself out like it's almost like these things become less meaningful because everybody's pointing out and getting angry. so i don't know it's i think it it helps in that we can look to. get rid of certain things like for asian americans the big deal was a lot of our per trails in the media were whitewashed in that you know our stories were being told by white actors there were not really an emphasis on looking to asian americans to be in anything and so it's very frustrating to feel that invisible so i think social media and cancel culture in that white washing is

cancelled it actually did make a difference and helped us a lot but i think in some cases it does that it sort of limits for comedians what we can say and do in a lot of ways and so comedy in itself feels like it should be offensive by nature i often really admire really offensive comedians not. it's almost like you couldn't really do that nowadays you know and we're just too sensitive in our society is just too sensitive mower i think so but also there's a reason why we should be sensitive but it is kind of a killjoy sometimes is president crump good or bad for comedy. well i mean it's bad for everything but if you maybe maybe maybe it gives us something to it a lot of it does give us something to joke about but is it worth the expense of the destruction of the world we've probably not not but it's almost like it's not funny

anymore like it's like this is kind of funny but then now it's horrible now it's like this is not what do we do we do like how did we get here and how do we get out i mean i think that there's you know there's always joy laughing at it as despots i mean it's funny to you know me make fun of a dictator and but then is it really funny if it we're all we're all going to. focus next margaret cho plays a round of if you only knew will find out the biggest risk he ever talk and a super power she wishes she has you don't want to mess it we'll be right back. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

come back to larry king now i'm tom green filling in for larry today and my guest is comedian margaret cho thank you margaret thank you we're going to play a little game now ok it's called if you only knew it's a quick rapid fire thing you know the biggest risk you ever talk oh i think wrote riding a motorcycle ok yes that is a real risk it's a real risk it's real risk i still have a motorcycle license but i don't i'm too scared to write oh yeah it fell on me it fell on me well like i say we fell off it and then it rolled over me and fell on me i don't ride it it's too scary you know your 1st car was a buick le saber it was very big and it got 8 miles to the gallon it is so bad now you see you. a food that you cannot stand. well i like it but i'm allergic to column ari i'm allergic to all cephalopods octopus or squid and maybe squares subtle apart cephalopods a superpower you wish you had i wish i could fly and then i could go to shows

without having to take a plane right now proudest accomplishment proudest confit i think just being alive still and being 50 and 50 years old so that's a really yeah so yes thank you we made it we did it you know like 480 yeah it's from 40 yeah that's happy birthday you know. if you're stuck on a deserted island what 3 things would you bring with you lucienne. maybe my i pad i really like that and. buy the apples maybe they already have them probably probably would she like one other thing you want to go with a line up some luck you know did you do a lot of the social media you love it or are you on there on instagram yeah i think it's fun i think it's fun to kind of like it makes me feel younger when i'm on there because we didn't have it you know remember in like the ninety's we would have to like look up a show in

a newspaper or if we liked an artist we would have to figure out when they were performing from an ad or a flyer and then go and then you would meet friends there you would have to call them on the phone or maybe write them a letter i mean i miss those days in a lot of ways i miss the scenes you receive as eans you know i was a skateboarder you know rock scenes people would make their own magazines usually because they had like a job at kinko's you know somebody would have a job and so you would be photocopied and you get free photocopies and staple them together and make this. periodical that she would get and there are some amazing ones so i love that kind of stuff but also that now you can find it all online. in some capacity and an instagram sort of feeds that or any kind of twitter sort of feeds that so i like that what's a guilty pleasure any place where people sell their stuff i just like to look at it . so it's like online marketplace like. a or.

like the weird things people make. when it's like a glee and like why would you like regret see like this i'd like to get that don't get that's not regret see it's like this thing of like this people make horrible things and then they just show him so it's ok but just delusional are and you know people that are just crazy i like to look at the just the weird things that people to like think they're going to sell what's the best advice that you have ever received just well so steve martin thing just be so good that people can't deny you anything just be so good that nobody can say no that's that's what i try to do you know i think that that's a kind of i think it's a good way to look at things like to try to be really good to see one of the one of the greatest ever to do it steve martin is your hero well i think you know your favorite gave radium my favorite would my favorite change is i i always really love joan rivers of course and then richard pryor of course current

current p. her i love take notaro she's really funny she's really she really everything that kind of goes into her. mind the way she kind of absorbs things i really i just love i love sarah silverman i think she's just kind of this really genius but very. i love her the way that she kind of goes about you just don't think she's going to go there and she goes there's places that are so interesting of course i love neil hamburger oh yeah he is probably what make my great favorites i don't hamburger is one of my good friends i love my love greg i mean. he i just love i mean i love yeah i love. watching neal just all of the things that are just so it's kind of a classic kind of comedy in a almost like he could have been like ernie kovacs you know villian kind of but

really twisted so it's not it's very modern in that way too since it's closer to like rock n roll than even like stand up comedy as we surrender stand it so i like that kind of the hard edge and i like this are also his world of comedians that he's introduced me to and it kind of a great time for comedy we've been doing this a long time as you see the change right now here we are a comedy store in l.a. here you go to shows around town here all the time yes and i'm rodriguez all the comedians it seems like it is and there's a renaissance to take this kind of thing of like now audiences are finding there's so many different kind of comedians that they love to see and that there's no competition between us either because everybody has found their own crowd which i think is really great so it's not like in the seventy's or the eighty's where i think there was like one top dog and then you know people were so very fighting with each other now i think there's kind of like oh there's enough to go around so everybody kind of gets their switch i think it's good you're

a strong supporter of gay rights i am you talk about this on your part there's a lot of gay rights talk on there yet this is a very important well this is been an incredible year for gay rights because it was our 50th anniversary of stonewall so this is very very significant and so gay pride this year was phenomenal and i was in new york for for world pride which you saw rainbow flags flying everywhere which i thought was really it was it was really inspiring and really really amazing that we've come so far ok we're going to ask questions from social media to get a few questions this is from kyle richards on the larry king now blog. which one of your tattoos is your favorite i have really stupid ones on my kneecaps witches abraham lincoln and george washington i'm the dollar bill and $5.00 bill because it cost $6.00 has spread i'm so stupid it and i can't raise prices ok yeah
