The Untold Truth of Tommy Chong’ Wife – Shelby Chong – Wiki
With the start of the ‘60s, his musical career was developing and he was a part of the soul group the Shades. With them, he worked on several albums, and with bandmate Bobby Taylor he started the nightclub Blue Balls. Unfortunately, at some time, he was fired by the group’s manager for being late for a gig. He became a star in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s with the comedy duo “Cheech and Chong”, alongside Cheech Marin. The two starred in several films and toured the US, releasing several comedy albums, four of which were nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.
Following the split of Cheech and Chong, Tommy continued his career, but didn’t have much success, except for the role of Leo in the TV series “That 70’s Show” (1999-2006), and most recently as Ezra in the sci-fi horror film “Color Out of Space” (2019), starring Nicolas Cage, Joely Richardson, and Madeleine Arthur.
