Cheech Developing Sitcom for VH1

Cheech told the Richmond News that he's developing a sitcom for VH1 which he will direct and star in. It will debut this fall.

"When asked about Tommy Chong and their very public and contentious professional break up - after an incredibly successful 15-year career that spanned eight feature films, and gut-splitting humour - he only says: "We are on pretty good terms... he's fine and he goes back to Vancouver often."

Cheech was promoting the July 29th Cheech Marin & Friends comedy show at the River Rock Casino in Richmond, BC. He has a lot of appearances scheduled promoting the event. See "Current Events" on the right.

Update: Here's another article from The Province. "The great thing is, I'm really Iranian, but I've got this Mexican thing going. Honestly, thank God for typecasting. It makes the public remember you and gives you a long career. It amazes me I have an audience now that goes from womb to tomb."
