Comedy Central Celebrates One Millionth Airing Of Cheech & Chong: Still Smokin'

NEW YORK—Comedy Central reached a milestone at 3 a.m. EST Monday, when it aired Cheech & Chong: Still Smokin’ for the one millionth time. “This is a film that deserves to be seen again and again,” said Comedy Central president Alan Scherr of Still Smokin’, which ranks ninth on AFI’s listing of the 100 greatest films of all time. “This landmark 1983 work, in which Cheech and Chong journey to Amsterdam to raise money for a bankrupt film festival by holding a dope-a-thon, is an enduring, towering classic. Cheech displays an astonishing acting range in the film, playing characters ranging from Limey Bitters to Tristan DeNiteaway, to the uproarious E.T. parody, ’Eddie Torres, the Extra-Testicle.’ See it hundreds of times.”
