See Margaret Cho Live Feb. 20 and Feb. 21

Margaret has been subpoenaed along with her agent, assistant, CPA, and others to appear at the Labor Commissioner's office (320 W. Fourth St, Suite #430, downtown Los Angeles) on Feb. 20 and Feb. 21 at 8:30 am.

This is the hearing in which she is attempting to avoid paying me the commissions she admits to owing me by suing me for acting as an illegal Talent Agency. Or, as her attorney, Howard King says:

Cho is hoping for a Hail Mary pass - that she can convince some Labor Commissioner to terminate the contract with her ex business partner so she can pocket the money she owes instead of paying it out to the woman that made her famous.

King didn't actually say that about Cho, he said it about the band, The Killers, in a similar lawsuit in which he is representing the ex manager of the band.

Here's more of what he wrote in his lawsuit against The Killers (I made a few changes):

Flush with the rewards of spectacular artistic and commercial achievement, the members of multi-platinum recording artist "The Killers" Margaret Cho should be celebrating those triumphs with the producer and manager who guided them her to stardom. Instead, influenced by the scheming of a trusted advisor, the band Cho expediently and unceremoniously severed a dedicated and diligent manager from the fortune [s]he helped create.

An undiscovered, uncut, rough diamond has no commercial value. The same is true for countless of talented but inexperienced rock and roll bands comedians. Assisted by the vision and guidance of their her manager, Braden Merrick Karen Taussig, The Killers are Cho is the exception. Unfortunately, the Killers Cho chose to turn their her backs on two written contracts and years of unswerving efforts by Merrick Taussig to discover, polish, publicize, and bring fame and prosperity to the band comedian.

With the eager assistance of a lawyer promoter plotting to become their her manager, The Killers have Cho has taken the money they owe she owes Merrick Taussig and his management company and stuffed it into their her own jeans. Rather than expressing gratitude, heaping praise or paying the commissions they she agreed to pay, The Killers have Cho has callously kicked Merrick Taussig to the nose-bleed seats. This is The Killer's Cho’s idea of the reward for Merrick's Taussig’s key role in helping them her become one of the most successful[, prolific and socially relevant] new rock band comedians of this century.

Chances are pretty good that you'll win at least one of these, right Mr. King? This is beautifully written, btw. I couldn't have said it better myself.

The whole suit King filed against The Killers is here. The suit King filed against me is here. Here's an email in which Cho's CPA and her promoter/new manager explain to me that King is the only one who can give the go ahead for Cho to pay me my commissions.
