His comedy has reached audiences across multiple platforms. His Comedy Central special, "What's That Clickin' Noise?" also found a home on Netflix, while listners can still hear him regularly on SiriusXM, Blue Collar Radio and Pandora.

Cho's career extends well beyond stand-up. His film credits include roles in "McHale's Navy," "Say It Isn't So," and "Material Girls." He has also worked alongside notable Country stars including Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Willie Nelson, Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood.

Known for his family-friendly style, Cho has built a reputation for delivering humor that appeals to a wide range of audiences. That versatility has allowed him to perform everywhere from Las Vegas showrooms to faith-based events and major corporate gatherings.
