Comedian and trailblazer Margaret Cho sits down with Craig Melvin on this week’s episode of “Glass Half Full” for a candid conversation about resilience, reinvention and what it means to keep going after nearly 40 years in comedy. She opens up about the “Golden Girls” star who made her believe she was going to be OK in Hollywood, how “All-American Girl” gave representation to a generation while quietly destroying her relationship with her body, and the intervention that led her to rehab.
