Introducing Henry Cho

Henry Cho (not Henry Chow) is an Asian American comedian. Raised in Knoxville and going into stand-up comedy in 1986, Henry Cho eventually made way into the American mainstream, winning a Comedy Central special entitled 'Henry Cho: What's That Clickin' Noise?' in 2006.
In 2007, it was announced that he signed a deal with Touchstone Pictures and American Broadcasting Company to write, produce, and star in a television situation comedy series centered around Korean Americans living in the South.

Cho's an interesting phenomenon. He's what we call a cognitive dissonance,an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding two contradictory ideas simultaneously. The "ideas" or "cognitions" in question may include attitudes and beliefs, the awareness of one's behavior, and facts. We see one thing; but we hear another. What to make? Henry's an important cultural symbol for North Americans.
