Broadway actress/comedienne Julie Halston has come to a laptop near you! After ranting and raving on stages and cocktail parties, the comedy queen has launched "Virtual Halston," a weekly hour-long gab-fest spotlighting her famous friends. This next week, comedy superstar Margaret Cho will be Ms. Halston's guest, which will air on Friday, November 6 at 5 pm ET on the Cast Party Network on YouTube.

Michael Urie, Mercedes Ruehl, Andrew Rannells, Mo Rocca, Mario Cantone, Max von Essen, Eureka!, Santino Fontana, Judy Gold, Marilu Henner, Justin "Squigs" Robertson, Colman Domingo, Jessica Vosk, Jane Monheit, Anthony Wayne, Frank DiLella, Lilly Cooper, Mary Testa, and Charles Busch have already appeared on past shows. "Virtual Halston" will also offer a quick-fire segment called "Affirmations and Devotionals," which will salute hilarious and slightly insane celebrity-driven video clips and stories.

"Virtual Halston" is seen every Friday at 5 pm EDT and is produced by Ruby Locknar and Jim Caruso, with animation and artwork by B.T. Whitehill.
