Cheech and Chong Artist Information
Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong were destined to be comedic partners. The alliteration of their names made a perfect match. The tall, bearded Chong perfectly complimented the short, mustached Cheech. While Cheech was fleeing the U.S. during the Vietnam War, he met Chong at a nightclub in Vancouver. The pair soon realized they played well off each other. Their hippie, free-loving, smoke-friendly personas would make them the most successful comedy duo of all-time.
The pair is most recognized for their movie Up in Smoke where Cheech and Chong are unemployed, broke and desperate to make money even if it means breaking the law. The hilarious, free-spirited film made them a household name. In their follow up film, properly titled Cheech & Chong's Next Movie, they go through even more misadventures while trying to find money, chase women and party in Hollywood. Both movies combined to gross over $160 million.
Cheech and Chong's popularity also soared with their recorded albums. The first one went gold, the second was the No. 1 comedy album in 1972 and the third earned a Grammy Award. Now, more than 30 years later, Cheech and Chong are back on tour to show why they are eternally cemented in comedy history.
