Cheech & Chong Light Up Again

Legendary stoners plan comeback tour after 25 years

Share

(Newser) – Legendary comedy duo and pot enthusiasts Cheech and Chong are teaming up for their first tour in more than 25 years, E! reports. Since making nearly 20 pot-infused albums and films in the 1970s and early '80s, Cheech has worked as a character actor and Chong appeared on That '70s Show before serving time on drug charges. Now they hope to take advantage of stoner culture's return. Thanks, Judd Apatow!
