TRANSCRIPT Bullseye with Jesse Thorn: Cheech Marin

This week, comedy legend Cheech Marin! He’s one-half of the comedy duo Cheech and Chong. But Cheech is more than just a stoner icon. He was in the Lion King. He’s starred in more than 100 episodes of Nash Bridges. And if you’re a Spy Kids fan, you know him as “Uncle” Felix. Cheech is also well known in the art world. He has a huge collection of Chicano art that he’s been steadily building since the ’80s. This week on Bullseye, we get into Cheech’s long and eventful career as an actor. He throws us back to when he moved to Canada when he first met Tommy Chong. Plus, he talks about his new museum The Cheech in Riverside, California.
