Cheech and Chong Documentary in the Works

Cheech Marin says there's a Cheech and Chong documentary in the works.

Filmmaker, Josh Gilbert, created one of the best documentaries I've ever seen titled a/k/a Tommy Chong.  The doc is brilliant and comprehensive.  It includes lots of unseen interviews and television show appearances.

Shortly after its release, Tommy and Shelby started working behind the scenes with the investor to win ownership of the film Josh created.  Litigation is ongoing.

In the meantime, Tommy Chong decided to create their own.

Cheech Developing Sitcom with Paul Rodriguez

I guess Cheech Marin and Paul Rodriguez are friends again.  They previously had a beef about not being paid for a comedy DVD they released.

They're working on a TV sitcom.

Cheech hasn't been able to get a show on the air since Nash Bridges.  He's shot a number of pilots which were just awful.

Cheech Marin Autobiography to be Released in 2017.

On March 10, 2017, Richard Cheech Marin's autobiography, Cheech is Not My Real Name...But Don’t Call Me Chong, will be released.  This isn't Cheech's first book.  He's written children books and books about Chicano art.
