With nine albums released from 1972 through 1985, the duo was nominated for four GRAMMY Awards, winning the GRAMMY Award for Best Comedy Album with their third album, Los Cochinos, released in 1973. Big Bambu, their second album, was the biggest selling comedy record of all time in 1972 and remained so for many years. Their stunningly successful comedy streak transitioned to film in 1978 with their first movie, Up In Smoke, the highest grossing comedy of the year topping $100 million at the box office. Cheech and Chong co-wrote and starred in a total of eight feature films together. In 2008, audiences were thrilled when the legendary Cheech and Chong reunited after 25 years apart, and embarked on the “Light Up America” comedy tour. The pop culture duo performed for more than 100 shows and quickly became one of the most sought after live shows.
