New Auctions Added

We've just refreshed our Cheech and Chong auctions. Three items were just added:

• Let's Make a New Dope Deal LP - One of their "lost albums." Few even know it exists. Contains StarWars spoof, "Queer Wars" and more.
• It Came From Hollywood VHS - Cheech and Chong, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner and John Candy goof on classic sci-fi movies. It can still be purchased new, but it's more affordable to bid on this previously viewed video.
• Cheech and Chong (self-titled) LP - This is their first album and helped launch their career.
• Corsican Brothers VHS - out-of-print uncensored version of video.
• Sleeping Beauty LP - Need we say more? We receive 200+ emails every week looking for this out of print album. This is the last one we have.
• Yellowbeard VHS - out-of-print Monty Python, Cheech & Chong, Young Ones classic.

Review: E! True Hollywood Story

TM

After sitting in front of the square box with moving images for one hour, the staff at Cheech and Chong Dot Com concluded that E! did a fantastic job detailing the life and times of the legendary duo. In case you missed it, E! premiered their Cheech and Chong "True Hollywood Story" episode last night (note: re-broadcast yet to be scheduled).
As expected, Tommy and Richard downplayed the amount of hostility that existed between the two of them. However, they did reveal that the problems began after Tommy was credited as Director of Next Movie, even though Cheech felt he had contributed equally. The tensions peaked during the filming of Get Out of My Room, for Cheech longed to pursue a serious acting career (which he accomplished). After making their last on-screen appearance together in After Hours, the duo went their separate ways.
On a happier note, Tommy and Richard did not rule out the possibility of a reunion. They gave the impression that, if the money and script are right and the duo are both at the same point in their lives, they'd be willing to do a movie.
We hope they do reunite! We want a simple movie with classic, crude drug humor. Oh, and one more thing...Stacey Keach must return as Sgt. Stadanko!

Cheech Marin to Appear on Food Network

Tommy a "Regular" on That 70's Show?

border="0">

It would seem to me, the Weedmaster, that Tommy Chong is becoming a "regular" on Fox's That 70's Show. He appeared again tonight as the local camera store owner. This makes it his third appearance if my count is correct.
Oh, and by the way, Donna and Eric finally "did it." :-)

ALERT: E! Officially Publishes Cheech & Chong Air Date

This time it's for real. E! has officially released the air date for their documentary on Cheech & Chong. It premieres THIS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH @ 9pm est.(even though the E! web site reports a different time). Double-check TV Guide for the correct airtime in your area. The documentary is actually part of E!'s True Hollywood Story series, not Mysteries and Scandals, as previously reported.
We're told the two hour special will detail the rise-and-fall of Cheech and Chong, as well as the reasons why Cheech left the duo. Don't miss it!

Congratulations to Our Winners

Congratulations are in order for S.M. of Florida and W.L. of Ohio. They're the winners of our newsletter contest. Each will be receiving a Cheech and Chong's out-of-print Sleeping Beauty LP.

ANOTHER ALERT

E! changed the schedule for some reason. They originally told us the air date was Feb 2nd, but their web site and TV Guide now say that a Red Foxx special will be aired that night. We'll let you know when we get another airdate from E!.

ChongStock 2000 Announced

We've received unofficial word that the Tommy Chong camp is organizing "ChongStock" 2000. It will take place May 19 - 21st in Riverside, CA. There will be Doobie Awards, celebs, bands, etc. We will provide more information as soon as they provide us with an official press release.

ALERT: E! Announces Cheech & Chong Air Date

It's finally been announced. E! Entertainment Television will premiere its Mysteries & Scandals "Cheech and Chong" on Wednesday, February 2nd, 2000 @ 8:30PM est. We're told the thirty minute episode will detail the rise and fall of Cheech and Chong, as well as the reasons why Cheech left the duo.
In addition, our sources tell us that Richard Marin and Thomas Chong were not initially willing to be interviewed. Each more or less said "I'll only do it, if he does it." We were told that one of the reasons for their lack of enthusiasm was that they were tired of explaining why they had split up.
However, many fans, including us at Cheech and Chong Dot Com, have never heard either one of them give a straight answer as to why they broke-up. The last time we saw them together was on December 13th, 1991 on the Howard Stern channal 9 show (Happy Birthday Howard!). They dressed as wise men and rolled joints. It was fairly obvious neither wanted to be there.
A certain degree of hostility seems to still exist between the duo as documented in this 1998 Tommy Chong interview in the Augusta Chronicle. The article seems to be more about Mrs. Chong, than Tommy.
As you'll see in the special, they both finally agreed to be interviewed, separately.
PS. We may have some more auctions to coincide with the premiere.

Clip of Cheech & Chong Special on Stern Tonight

Tonight's episode of the Howard Stern Show on E! Entertainment Television will feature a clip from the upcoming Cheech and Chong "Mysteries & Scandals" special. We will provide more details after it airs.
Update: Tonight's episode of the Howard Stern show featured guests Chuck Zito, gossip columnist and host of Mysteries and Scandals, AJ Benza, and Perfect 10 publisher, Norm Zeda. They decided to goof on AJ Benza by showing blooper footage from his show. One segment was from the upcoming special on Cheech and Chong. This is more or less what he said; "The duo of Cheech and Chong were on top-of-the-world, but then vanished into the darkness without a trace." Note: this is not an exact quote.
We still do not have an air date for this special, but will let you know as soon as we do.

Song Lyrics

We receive numerous requests for Cheech and Chong song lyrics. Unfortunately, we do not have the lyrics available to distribute. However, we did find a site that does have some of the lyrics. Enjoy! http://geocities.com/Hollywood/Theater/4682/lyrics/lyrics.html
