A Look Back: Tommy Chong’s 2008 Book Tour and Promotional Hustle

To understand the grind behind promoting a project like Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie, look no further than Tommy Chong’s 2008 book tour.

Comedian Tommy Chong's Daughter Precious is on Canada's Got Talent

 Earlier this week, Tommy Chong's daughter, Precious, was on CGT, Canada's Got Talent.  It was pretty funny.  She played "Is he old or is he high?"

Then, she FaceTime'd him.

CBS Sunday Morning Interview Cheech and Chong who were Promoting their Last Movie.

CBS Sunday Morning interviewed Cheech and Chong who were promoting "Last Movie."

Cheech got weepy thinking about his contemporaries passing away.  He was similarly weepy accepting a Cinemacon award earlier this month.

The comedy duo Richard Anthony "Cheech" Marin and Thomas Chong made their names and fortunes playing laid-back potheads. Now 78 and 86, respectively, they're back on movie screens in "Cheech and Chong's Last Movie" (which may not be an accurate title). The best buds talked with correspondent Tracy Smith about their legacy.

Last Movie will have special screenings April 20th (04/20).

Cheech and Chong and Alamo Drafthouse Want You to Quiet Down for Their 'Last Movie'

 Cheech and Chong's Last Movie, a new documentary about the longtime stoner comedy duo, is coming to theaters on April 25, 2025, with early screenings (naturally) on April 20. Before then, they're teaming up with Alamo Drafthouse for a series of pre-movie videos telling you not to chat during the movie.

Cheech and Chong's Last Movie will be released on April 25, 2025, but as part of their "Alamo Dankhouse" programming, the theater will host advance screenings of the film on 4/20 at 4:20 PM (local time).

 

 

Dynamic Cheech and Chong Accept CinemaCon Career Achievement in Comedy Award

 Cheech and Chong were at some award show in Vegas called CinemaCon.  Never heard of it and Lindsay Lohan also won an award (Vanguard Award).  Cheech and Chong won the Career Achievement in Comedy Award.  

I could be wrong, but this seems like a paid promotional event. Similar to the way magazines choose the sexiest man or woman alive.  All the recipients have movies they're promoting and this awards show is part of a film trade show.

Cheech was all weepy and stuff on stage.

I'm curious to see some of the rare footage.  If you haven't seen it, a/k/a Tommy Chong is excellent and has a lot of gems.

Howard Stern Asks Legend, Bill Murray, About Stripes Being Originally Written for Cheech and Chong

 For those of you that don't know, the 1981 film Stripes, which starred Bill Murray, Harold Ramos and John Candy, was originally written for Cheech and Chong.  This is why the film has a Cheech and Chong vibe to it.

During Tuesday's interview with Howard Stern, Howard asked Murray if he knew it was written for Cheech and Chong.

“Turns out that Cheech and Chong's agent didn't want them to do it,” Murray revealed. “Cheech and Chong never even saw the script.  I think if they'd seen the script, they could have fun with it. There were plenty of crazy, stoner scenes in it. There was a whole scene where we go to South America and we eat some potion and everyone has a psychedelic experience and totally gibberish, you know, yeah, but so that stuff was there in the original script."
