Fey and Poehler kept bringing out comic Margaret Cho as the supposed newest member of the HFPA, a humorless, laconic, but apparently starstruck North Korean general. Cho posed for a photo with Meryl Streep (and got Michael Keaton to take the picture), criticized the show for being insufficiently entertaining and grandiose, and wondered why "Orange Is the New Black" wasn’t in the TV drama category. The routine was a nice reminder, for fans of "30 Rock," that Fey and Cho have been making fun of North Korea’s dictatorship for years; on her sitcom, Fey cast Cho as both Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un back in 2011 and 2012. Where were the Guardians of Peace then?
