Updated: Tommy Chong Coming to PIttsburgh

Tommy and Shelby Chong will be coming to Pittsburgh, PA this weekend for a gig at The Improv.

The Post Gazette conducted an interview with Tommy.

The funniest quote was about hosting High Times' Stony Awards last weekend.

"Can you imagine a stoner comedian playing to an audience that's too stoned? Because you got no reaction time. You're working in front of a brick wall. Their brain cells are busy trying to figure out: 'Am I sitting or standing?'"

He also discusses the chances of a Cheech and Chong reunion.

Update: Pittsburgh Live also conducted an interview with Tommy. Regarding the breakup with Cheech... "Cheech chose to sort of disown it. He wants to have his cake and eat it, too. You can't go to the Geraldo Rivera parties and expect old stoners to stay in your corner. Especially when you go on TV and disown them."

He also mentions that he's writing "The Unauthorized Biography of Cheech and Chong." This is set to hit stores summer 2008.

"Chong, 69, was born in Canada to an Irish father". Yeah, Chong is a very common Irish name. Probably started out as O'Chong, and some immigration guy fucked it up. ;-)

Anyway, Cheech needs to quit his fuckin bus driver job and get his shit together, in my humble opinion at least (and maybe a few others)...
