Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, a.k.the. Cheech & Chong, were the comedy duo who witnessed the wide audience in the 1960s and 1970s for their stand-higher routines, which were depending upon a Sixties "hippie", "free love" & (especially) "drug culture" movements. Cheech played the cholo from Los Angeles, while Chong was a burnt-out "druggie" whose entire life revolved in developing high.

the duo freed the total of successful comedy albums, & starred inside a series of online-budget motion-picture show. Their right-known comedy sketches include "Earache My Eye," "Santa Claus and his Old Lady," and "Sister Mary Elephant." Mayhap their completely-instance best known line is ''"Dave's not here, man" (from either Cheech & Chong (album)).

A duo separated in the 1980s due to creative differences. Cheech Marwithin worked in the solo career, locating profits in the one-hit wonder song entitled "Born In East L.A." (according to Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A."). He did character voices for many alive feature, including Disney's Oliver and Company (1988), when well as starring within various comedy films including Shrimp on the Barbie, as a lead in the CBS television series Nash Bridges and a revenant guest role in Judging Amy.

Tommy Chong when well pursued the solo career, starring around such comedies as Far Out Man. He had co-starred on the Fox Television series ''That '70s Show'' where he still played a burnt-out hippie.

A duo got plans to reunite for an additional film whilst Tommy Chong's California-depending company, Chong Glass, was raided by federal officials on February 25, 2003, as the share of a federal crackdown in "drug-related paraphernalia." Tommy Chong pleaded shamed to charges of distributing drug appurtenance around May and on September 11, 2003 was sentenced to 9 months around federal prison, fined USD$20,000, & forced to forfeit USD$120,000 around plus. He served a period between October 8, 2003 and July 7, 2004. Using Chong off a hook, a duo planned to resume productiin on their latest piece of music. The kind of titles were rumored, including Grumpy Old Stoners. Regrettably, Cheech & Chong announced in September 8th that a reunion film got been cancelled.
