Cheech & Chong are a Grammy Award–winning comedy duo consisting of Richard "Cheech" Marin and Tommy "Chong" Chong. The duo found commercial and cultural success in the 1970s and 1980s with their stand up routines, studio recordings, and feature films, which are based on the hippie and free love era, especially the American drug and counterculture movements, most notably their abuse of cannabis (Up in Smoke, The New York Times). Here they are roasted by some of the comedians they profoundly influenced. RIP lawyer and recovering addict stand up comedian Greg Giraldo and obese funnyman Ralphie May.
