Tommy To Be On Handelman Show This Sunday
Tommy was supposed to be on the Allan Handelman Show last Sunday, but he experienced cell phone problems. Tommy will make another attempt this Sunday at 10PM EST. You can listen live on the web. Make sure you sign up for the pay service, the quality of the free connection is awful and not worth the attempt.
Recap: Tommy says that right now he's working on various TV projects and is appearing on That 70s Show. He's also still writing the reunion script. Chong says it will be the "best Cheech and Chong movie ever." As far as a movie title is concerned, "we're not going to name the baby until we see how it looks."
For the first time, Chong revealed that he was in prison with Ronald Reagan's speech writer. The speech writer told Tommy that, before becoming President, Reagan was very familiar with marijuana.

More Film Details
While meeting with press at the HBO Comedy Festival in Aspen, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong provided more details on their reunion film. Cheech says the script is nearly finished and they want to start filming right away. Both would like the film to be released this summer if possible.
Also of interest is that New Line Cinema may not be distributing the movie after all. They would not elaborate. That leaves two questions unanswered...Who is the director? and Which film company will distribute the film?
However, one thing is undeniable. The film is going to be great. Earlier today, they appeared on AMC's Peter Bart and Peter Gruber's Sunday Morning ShootoutÓ. They are just as funny now as they were 20 years ago.

NPR Interviews Chong
Today, National Public Radio conducted the most thorough interview we've heard with Tommy Chong since his release.
Touring...Chong says he's only able to perform in Canada until his probation is over (this Spring).
Arrest...He gave more details on his arrest. He says that undercover agents went to his son's bong factory and purchased $5,000 worth of bongs. These headshop owners/agents said they wanted to purchase even more bongs and asked Chong Glass to ship the bongs to the fake headshop. It was total entrapment. These agents had been trying to get Chong glass to ship bongs to Pennsylvania for months. They flew to the factory out of desperation.
Chong received the harsh nine month sentence because Tommy told the press that the only weapons of mass destruction George Bush found were his bongs. They even mentioned what Chong said during his sentencing.
Arnold Schwarzenegger...Tommy met Arnold at a gym and smoked pot with him shortly after Arnold came to the US. Arnold is in denial about it.

Chong Marijuana-Logues National Tour
Following the hit off-Broadway run, Ideal Entertainment Group and Magic Arts & Entertainment 
are bringing THE MARIJUANA-LOGUES starring TOMMY CHONG to cities across the North America beginning February of 2005.
Chong, best known for his legendary contribution to American counterculture in the comedy team Cheech & Chong, will continue with THE MARIJUANA-LOGUES, a stage show written by Arj Barker, Doug Benson and Tony Camin and directed by Jim Millan.
It's an evening of side-splitting humor that has a nation buzzing. Chong lights up the live theater stage with his unique perspective on life. (Disclaimer: This production does not glorify drug use. Rather, it illustrates that cannabis culture is a thing of substance, humor and creativity.) From hazy to highbrow, THE MARIJUANA-LOGUES proves that the stories surrounding the bud are as varied as those who indulge.
