"Dave? Dave's not here!"

That's Tommy Chong's signature comedy routine, but it's his lifelong use of marijuana on and off the silver screen that he's best known for. Born in Canada on May 24,1939, he met his comedy partner Richard "Cheech" Marin in Vancouver. They recorded comedy albums like Big Bambu before launching their movie careers. with Up in Smoke in 1978, Chong appeared with Marin in six movies. After the duo went their separate ways, Chong continued to play the stoner in films and TV - as Leo the head-shop owner on That '70s Show.

In 2006, Chong was the subject of Josh Gilbert's documentary, a/k/a Tommy Chong, which chronicles the government's war on Tommy Chong and his bong company, Chong Glass.

Busted in 2001, he was convicted and spent nine months in jail for selling bongs across state lines. He wrote The I Chong: Meditations from the Joint about his jail experiences. Chong wrote the foreword for Pot Culture - co-written by CelebStoner's Steve Bloom. His latest book is Cheech & Chong: The Unauthorized Autobiography.

In 2008, Chong reunited with Marin for their first concert tour, Light Up America, in 27 years. In 2010, the duo embarked on the Get It Legal tour. Chong's wife Shelby is the opening act on the tour.

Cheech & Chong's Hey Watch This, a concert movie documenting the Light Up America tour, is being released on 4/20.
