Part 2/10:
Chong reminisces about one of his first encounters with comedy coming through records like Big Bamboo and the influence of his Canadian roots, having grown up in Calgary, Alberta. Moving to Los Angeles in 1970 with Cheech Marin, their humble beginnings involved performing at folk clubs like the Troubadour and transforming small venues into comedy and improv stages. Their innovative blend of humor, weed culture, and improvisation quickly gained traction, laying the foundation for their now-legendary partnership.
