Excerpts from the Aussie Press Junket

Australia's Courier Mail interviewed Cheech & Chong during a press junket to promote their upcoming Light Up Australia tour. Most of the shows sold out instantly so they've added additional dates and cities (see Light Up Australia link at the top of this page).

They were cracking non-stop jokes so the interviewer often had difficulty determining when they were pulling his leg.

Cheech says they agree on more these days. Tommy says they don't bicker as much because he's deaf.

When asked about their preferred vices nowadays, Tommy said it's "falling asleep in front of the television." Cheech says "it's getting married...Jesus Christ, if this one doesn't work though, I'm out."

It's a really funny interview.

And here's another interview. It was conducted by V247 when Cheech & Chong were in Texas.
Q: "Well it sounds like you guys are getting along really well now…."
A: Chong: "It’s gross. He touches me sometimes."

Cheech & Chong TV Show and Live Album Coming Soon?

What's up next for Cheech & Chong? There's been talk of a broadway play based on Up in Smoke, a Vegas production based on Up in Smoke, a new movie and now a television show.

The only thing that's definite so far is the Cheech & Chong animated film.

However, Tommy Chong tells The Morning Call that earlier this week, he and Cheech pitched a television show. Tommy says they're "waiting to see what the genius TV execs are going to come up with."

He didn't provide any additional details, but he also says they may do a live comedy album. Of interest is that Cheech & Chong recorded, but Warner Records/Lou Adler never released, a live comedy album in the 1970s.

Maxim Magazine Interviews Cheech and Chong

Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong are interviewed in this month's issue of Maxim Magazine (page 66, on newsstands now).

It's a really funny interview.

When asked why they broke up, Cheech said it was because Tommy kept reaching for his dick. Tommy replies "And it was so small I couldn't find it. And then he ran off with Don Johnson."

The article hasn't been posted online, but you definitely should pick up this month's issue.
