Following the trail she blazed

Margaret Cho is very happy to be back in prime time.

“Having brought the first Asian American family to TV, I’m very proud to bring the second,” Cho told reporters gathered at the VH1 session Wednesday.

“I’m actually No. 1 and No. 2,” she joked. But it’s not untrue: The first, of course, was her ill-fated 1994 ABC series “All-American Girl,” best remembered for her public battles over content with network executives; among her complaints at the time was having executives tell her she wasn’t “acting Asian enough.”

This time, her semi-scripted comedy “The Cho Show” (Aug. 21 premiere) is coming to viewers on Cho’s terms. It will revolve around her real-life parents and 3-foot-10-inch assistant, Selene Luna.

“It’s kind of a cross between Madonna’s ‘Truth or Dare,’ ‘Joy Luck Club’ and ‘Little People, Big World,’ ” she said. In truth, the series follows Cho and her family as they improv their way through scripted situations.
