Thirty years after Cheech and Chong's "Up in Smoke" (1978) codified stoner humor, the sensibility lingers. (See "Pineapple Express", if you don't believe us) In his new book, "Cheech & Chong: The Unauthorized Autobiography", Tommy Chong reaches back to the early days of this influential comedy team, their sources of inspiration (flammable and otherwise), and the "rift" that kept the duo apart for over 20 years. He sits down in-studio with Ron Bennington and a small but enthusiastic group of fans for the next "Unmasked."
