Cheech had the most success as a solo actor, appearing in the series ''Series/NashBridges'', lending voice acting to Disney movies like ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Cars}}'', and small roles in Creator/RobertRodriguez movies like ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn'' (delivering a hilarious "pussy" speech trying to hustle people into the Tittie Twister bar), ''Film/SpyKids'' and ''Film/{{Machete}}'', and pretty much moving a big step away from his former stoner image. Chong, however, retained firmly in the stoner culture, and his film and TV roles were pretty limited, with his biggest solo success being his role as Leo in the series ''Series/That70sShow''.

Cheech & Chong developed a crossover audience by opening for rock bands in gigs arranged by manager Lou Adler, who got them a Warner Bros. recording contract and a string of hit comedy albums. Some of their best-known bits included "Earache My Eye" (a novelty single featuring a skit and a song by [[Music/AliceCooper Alice]] [[Music/DavidBowie Bowie]]), "Basketball Jones" (sung in character by Cheech as an African-American basketball player, with appearances by Music/GeorgeHarrison, Carole King, Billy Preston, and Tom Scott), "SantaClaus and [[MrsClaus His Old Lady]]" (in which Cheech tells a fractured version of Santa's origins), "Sister Mary Elephant" ("Class? Class--SHUT UP!!!"), and, in particular, "Dave", in which Cheech is trying to get inside the house after a successful drug transaction, but Chong, too stoned to realize who is outside, tells him "Dave's not here!"

Cheech had the most success as a solo actor, appearing in the series ''Series/NashBridges'', lending voice acting to Disney movies like ''Disney/TheLionKing'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'', and small roles in Creator/RobertRodriguez movies like ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn'' (delivering a hilarious "pussy" speech trying to hustle people into the Tittie Twister bar), ''Film/SpyKids'' and ''Film/{{Machete}}'', and pretty much moving a big step away from his former stoner image. Chong, however, retained firmly in the stoner culture, and his film and TV roles were pretty limited, with his biggest solo success being his role in the series ''Series/That70sShow''.

Attempts at a reunion were largely unsuccessful because the two comedians were unable to get along with each other for a very long time, and appearances together in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ferngully}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' were done with their voices recorded separately. (Chong was also offered a part in ''Disney/TheLionKing'', but turned it down, and as a result, the character was changed into a female and the part was given to Creator/WhoopiGoldberg). Meanwhile, Chong and his wife, Shelby, toured as a team, and their routine included updated versions of Cheech and Chong bits.
