Backstage at the TBS Taping of 'Cheech & Chong: Roasted' (11/21/08)- Las Vegas, NV.

What a crazy weekend in vegas...TBS execs allowed me to hang out backstage during the taping of 'Cheech & Chong: Roasted'...the show will air NOV 30th, 10PM on TBS...check your local listings...brad garrett of 'everybody loves raymond' fame, hosted the show...tom arnold, geraldo rivera, penn and teller, MTV's wilmer valderrama, greg giraldo, shelby chong and some others i'm forgetting, all had turns taking shots at the stoner icons.

i was lucky enough to chat with them a little after the show...i asked them how they felt after a recent appearance on the 'howard stern show' where howard asked tommy how he felt when he arrived at the set of the movie, 'born in east LA' and realized cheech didn't put him in the movie...tommy said...thats howard...we knew he would go straight for the jugular.

i then asked them how they felt about the evening...tommy said, incredible!!...then i asked...who called who with regards to the reunion tour...tommy again...we both just felt america needed a hug.

my favorite line of the evening:

"...it's hard making a rich mexican do shit..."
Tommy Chong
