WeedMaps Presents the Legendary Comedian's Cannabis Infused Talk and Variety Show

/EINPresswire.com/ -- BEVERLY HILLS, CA--(Marketwired - October 22, 2015) - The new talk and variety show Almost Legal With Tommy Chong debuts on Friday, October 23rd at 8pm PDT / 11pm EDT on FilmOn.com. Host Tommy Chong of the legendary comedy duo Cheech & Chong created the show as a co-production with Chongson Inc. and FilmOn Networks with the title sponsor WeedMaps. Episodes will debut every Friday in this time-slot with a Saturday night encore showing at 1am PST, at FilmOn.Com/Chong worldwide and on FilmOn's FOTV channel (Dish Network channel 6 and KIIO 10.2 ) in the Los Angeles area. The show will also be available to purchase via MondoTunes on all major digital stores such as iTunes.

Almost Legal with Tommy Chong is an irreverent take on the traditional late night talk show with celebrity interviews, sketch comedy and musical acts -- he's called it "a stoner's version of Jon Stewart." Chong will address, "anything that affects the pot smoker's status in any way, negative or positive," and that includes his own battle with cancer and search for salvation through medical marijuana.

The first episode guests include horror producer and director Eli Roth (Hemlock Grove, Hostel) and comedy music duo Garfunkel and Oates. Other confirmed guests for the series include Danny Trejo, Steve-O, Andy Milonakis, Chef Roy Choi, Hannibal Buress and select guests provided by WeedMaps, such as major marijuana attorney Linda Held.

Here are clips for media use including clips of Tommy Chong and Andy Milonakis, Steve-O, Roy Choi, and "Pot Pastor Bill," a man who started a "Cannibatarian Church" in Indiana that made news recently. There is also a clip of Chong doing a monologue. Please credit FilmOn.Com. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bz3gEoa95ishOFQ0Zm4tbDdDdWc&usp=sharing
