Chong Talks About the Origin of the Bit 'Dave'

Tommy Chong was on KTNV's action news promoting this weekend's Cheech and Chong: Get It Legal shows in Vegas.  During the interview, Tommy once again talks about the origins of their 'Dave' bit.  Tommy once again stretches the truth about the origins of their 'Dave' bit.

Another version of the story which Tommy doesn't mention during this interview is that Cheech was knocking on the door of where Cheech and Chong were recording some bits.  The door was locked, Tommy was fucking with Cheech and the entire thing was recorded.  Then, they re-recorded the bit for their album.  Tommy says the original tape has since been lost and he says the original tape was funnier than the one on the album.

The truth...
The bit 'Dave' which is featured on their first, self-titled album, was written by this guy named Dave in the comedy troop they were part of in Canada.  Duh, didn't everyone think it was odd that Cheech was asking for Dave?  The real Dave is mentioned briefly in one of Tommy's books.
