Old Radio Interviews With Cheech and Chong

Al Horta, a big Cheech and Chong fan we met at the Bookends book signing provided us with these awesome clips of Cheech and Chong on the Alex Bennett radio show. The interviews took place on WPLJ-New York in 1971 and 1974.

During the interviews, they play clips from and discuss their first album, their recent performances at the Academy, television offers they've turned down, censorship and politics.

There are very few tapes of classic radio interviews with Cheech and Chong. Furthermore, there is only one tape of their live stand-up act, Perform and Perform Again. Why they didn't tape their live shows, we don't know.

If you have any old Cheech and Chong radio or TV appearances, please let us know.
