'The Mortified Sessions': Cheryl Hines And Margaret Cho Reveal All (VIDEO)

On Sundance Channel's "Mortified Sessions," celebrities reveal their dirty laundry. From how they learned about sex to childhood crushes, they're not holding anything back. On the upcoming new episode, "Suburgatory" star Cheryl Hines and comedienne Margaret Cho are next to spill their secrets.

When Hines, pictured above, was a child, she didn't have the nicest nickname.

"I physically had warts, a lot of warts," Hines says in the Jan. 2 episode. "So they called me, 'Worry Wart.' It was mean, because I did indeed have warts, and I did worry a lot."

For Cho, pictured below, realizing she wasn't white was a shock.

"When I was maybe six, I was really angry that I was not white. When I realized I wasn't white I was so furious ... I still have deep fantasies about being white -- it must be so relaxing to be white. I wish I could go to the spa and just be white for an hour," she said.

"The Mortified Sessions" airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on The Sundance Channel.

Dear Margaret.....as with anything you've had since birth, it's just who you are and I've never been aware of being relaxed because I was white. It's not a concept I've ever thought about in those terms. In fact on an occasion or two when I got lost in an unfamiliar part of town, I would have given anything to be brown so I could mix in. So from that perspective I can understand. The wonderful thing about being a comedian is that you can cross all sorts of lines, racial, religious, etc and people still love you. Jeff Dunham is a good example. He, together with his puppets, lets everybody have it and nobody seems to care because he's so funny. And so are you. You have had me in stitches over the years. Relax!

How I learned about sex was, then, a bit difficult. I was home in my bedroom. I was about 13, and had some problem. So I walked into my parent's bedroom, quietly, neither heard me, and saw both naked and making love. I slowly backed out, and shut the door. It took a while to get over what I had seen. Afteral, that was the first and only time I had seen Mom and Dad nude. Sort of freaked me out, but from then on, I knew how "it" was done.

Ok, drop the color comparison thing. You are Asian. Better yet, we are all human. See? Same race after all. Now you can relax at the spa.

Why would Margaret Cho be upset that she is not white even though she looks that color?

I didn't get from that video that Margaret (Moran) Cho was upset at not being "white". Unless I missed something there.

It was her name that got her down as a kid. Don't you just know everyone called her "Moron"?

I'm confused. Are Asian people not white?

They used to refer to them as yellow.

Personally, I abhor the racial color system.

Racism has been dead in science circles for a century, but our popular culture keeps it alive and well. I like to refer to ethnicities, as there are some ethnic things you can't get rid of -- like I am a gypsy, and look kind of not white at all, but I don't sing or dance or steal things. I even live in an apt in a city, no place to park a caravan even if I owned one.

No, technically they are not considered white...isn't that sad? Some of them are paler skinned than a lot of "white" people out there, but because of their ethnicity, they are not considered "white." Margaret Cho shouldn't feel bad...back home my son was called "the little white kid" and when we moved to NC he came home crying because they were calling him "the Hispanic kid." Of course, I told him "you ARE Hispanic, sweetie." And he told me "it just sounded like it was a BAD thing." Out of the mouths of babes...

lol -- i am gypsy and grew up with spaniards and cubans, and thought that was me too, because i am not pink.
Its good to arm your kid though, let him know not to accept what other people call him, you gave him a name, and thats his name, not "hispanic kid".
