Kim Jong Il may be long gone, but Margaret Cho isn't.
According to Laughspin, the comidienne is returning to on the May 17 episode of "30 Rock" (8:30 p.m. ET on NBC), as well as the show's season finale for another run as former North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il.
Cho was last seen in the role in Season 5 as the kidnapper of Alec Baldwin's character Jack Donaghy's wife Avery Jessup (Elizabeth Banks), which eventually led to Avery being appointed first lady of the country. But after the real Kim Jong Il died, Cho's fate on the show remained to be seen ... until now.
Cho will reportedly play two characters in at least one of the two episodes, but details are being kept under wraps.
