Stephen is an &#8220;ill-equipped, less-than-evolved male,&#8221; who &#8220;mandates therapy for the recently widowed Ryan,&#8221; and then &#8220;struggles to provide support as Ryan learns to cope with his grief.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Working on a comedy that also has &#8220;emotion and pathos&#8221; as well as humor in it was something that interested Cho. &#8220;It was the most attractive thing about the show,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It deals with a heavy subject, and that&#8217;s where the laughs come from. In my own behavior I&#8217;ve seen that I deal with serious things by using humor as a defense mechanism. I use it as an excuse to dodge things. I found it really resonated with me, and that&#8217;s why, aside from the fact that I&#8217;d be working with Matthew Perry, who I admire so much and have stolen so much from over the years, that was really the reason I did the show. I just thought it was about something, and it was funny at the same.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cho has been getting to know co-star Perry better. &#8220;It\u2019s been great,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I feel like I have a little bit of the stars-in-the-eyes syndrome right now. He&#8217;s so generous. I have really been learning watching him navigate this thing. He&#8217;s very good at knowing what makes something funny. He&#8217;s also good at exposing himself and being raw. It&#8217;s a very odd combination, and I&#8217;ve been enjoying it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Go On<\/em>&#8216;s pilot will air tonight on NBC at 10:30, but will be seen regularly on Tuesdays beginning September 11 at 9 PM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Star Trek 2&#8216;s John Cho will be seen on Go On, a new NBC comedy&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413],"tags":[2510,4483],"class_list":["post-19901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","tag-cho","tag-go-on"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a>","tag_info":"Cast &amp; Crew","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19901"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19901\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19907,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19901\/revisions\/19907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
