motorcade drive from the the airport to beijing. 71 cars. there's 1 car for the president, 2 for secret service and then 68 for obama's advisers on the environment.

[ laughter ] 71 cars, meanwhile, somewhere in the world, al gore shed a single tear. he's like -- [ laughter ] they didn't need 71 cars. i mean, trust me. i've been to china. they could fit nine guys on a scooter and still have room for a crate of fish. [ laughter ] they got it handled over there.

[ laughter ] come on, stop it. but yeah, you -- because you're huge in pop music. i think it was first, like the latin, first -- that's what you did first. and latin pop, but i didn't know that your roots were, like, rock
1:03 am
'n' roll. i guess you'd have to go pop first. you can't really go from rock 'n' roll to pop. >> yeah. it all seemed like i was going to be a rock chick. like, when i was 18 and i started touring latin america, i was very much into things like rock music and i listened to nirvana and metallica and all of these hardcore bands. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah, yeah. and then i did this thing with crossover and i became a pop artist, which is great, because it gives me so many licenses, you know? it gives me a license to go in anywhere and any direction i want. go, i can go -- >> jimmy: yeah, you can -- >> any -- >> jimmy: type of genre of music, yeah. you can go -- >> exactly, because rock and roll, sometimes, has certain rules that you cannot break. you're not supposed to break, you know? as a pop artist, there's a certain freedom to it that i really enjoy. >> jimmy: that's super fun, yeah. because i also read, too, that you -- to learn english, you read a lot of bob dylan lyrics.
1:04 am
>> bob dylan, yeah. leonard cohen. >> jimmy: yeah, leonard cohen, yeah. >> if i was going to learn english, i better learn from the masters. >> jimmy: yeah, they are great, but thank god you didn't -- >> everything about, you know, the resources of english literature and composition and all of that. >> jimmy: thank god you didn't end up singing like bob dylan, because that would have been hard to listen to. [ laughter ] [ imitates bob dylan ] ♪ i'm going out tonight but my hips don't lie ♪ [ laughter ] >> that would have been interesting. >> jimmy: that would have been interesting. and you would have been like, i wish -- "i should have gotten into rock and roll." but more on this album. you have to tell me about the -- is it the barefoot foundation? >> yes. >> jimmy: now, tell me, what is that? what are you doing with that? >> when i was 18, i decided to establish this foundation in colombia. basically, we focus on providing education, and food, and psychological support, and building schools for kids who have -- who belong to families who have
1:05 am
lost it all, have been displaced by violence. who live in extreme poverty or situations of conflict in the middle of the cross fire because of the internal conflict in my country. so, we've been working on that since i was 18 years old, and -- >> jimmy: wow. >> and, yeah -- >> jimmy: that is cool. so, you got into that at 18. that's pretty adult of you. at 18, i was, like, doing whippets in a parking lot somewhere. [ laughter ] >> good for you. >> jimmy: for charity. for charity. [ laughter ] but i mean, that's pretty cool, i mean, you have good guidance. and is it your parents or your manager, or who was helping you through this? >> well, i grew up in a developing world, and i grew up seeing so much social injustice and so much inequality. latin america is the one region in the world with the biggest inequality, and that means that a lot of the people have nothing. and a few people have a lot and there is a huge gap between the poor and the rich. and i know for sure that education is the way to close
1:06 am
that gap to make it smaller and it's the right strategy to fight poverty. i've seen it with my own eyes. i've seen how education transforms the lives of not only the kids, but also their families. and that's why in our schools, we really insist on not only providing food for the kids and making sure that they receive high quality education, but also making sure that the schools are also community centers. that they're open to the entire community, to the youngsters so they can enjoy sports facilities. and it's really, like, a mother with open arms, almost. like, or an analogy to that, because many places in colombia, there is a lack of government refuge, you know? or there has been for many, many years. >> jimmy: how do people find out more about this? they go -- do you have a website? >> yeah, we do have a website. barefootfoundation.org. >> jimmy: barefootfoundation.org. >> yes. >> jimmy: that's really cool that you're doing that. that's very, very awesome. because you've got all that fame and you do something with your fame, and you're doing it.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: they are these giant pieces of vinyl with a little hole in the middle and it spins around. >> like frisbees. >> jimmy: they're like frisbees, yeah, but they play music. yeah, it's pretty good. "big bamboo" was a great record that you guys put out where it
1:16 am
was a giant -- looked like a giant pack of rolling papers. >> yes. >> jimmy: and you open it up, and there was a giant -- >> there was a giant paper inside. >> jimmy: it was such a great comedy album to get because it's just hilarious. and you are the life of the party. >> you have no idea how many people said "hey, guess what we did with that." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, exactly. yeah, completely -- >> "hey, we smoked it too, man." >> jimmy: that is so wild. this is great. i mean, we had monty python on our show, and we were just talking to them about all of the legendary things they did and how their fans recite their bits back to them. >> yeah. >> jimmy: do you guys have that same problem? >> oh, every day. they come up to us and they start reciting the bits and i don't know whether it's from a movie or a record or we did it, or -- [ laughter ] they keep going, and the longer they go, the more crazy they are. and we're like "okay, we have to go now." >> jimmy: and it's like "no, you don't get it though, dave wasn't there." it's like, "yeah, we wrote that. we did that." >> we got busted one time in tampa, florida. and the cops were fighting among
1:17 am
themselves of who was the biggest fan to take us down in the paddy wagon. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: "who here likes cheech and chong? we got them. and we've got to arrest them." oh, my god. you were just in jail? >> yeah. well, five years ago. >> jimmy: yeah, but still. that's recent enough. [ laughter ] >> yeah, they sent him to the rock. >> jimmy: that's not fun, is it? >> my butt's healed, so it's all good. [ audience ohs ] i'm just kidding. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: he's kidding. it's not healed at all. [ laughter ] he's going through surgery as we speak. sorry about that. but, you guys ended up -- >> well, if we had health care, though. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you did. absolutely. >> i was very concerned, because they made me show them my butt every time i went in to visit, and they would check me out. >> yeah, every time we get a visitor, he has to go through an anal cavity search and so i went and visited him in the slam one time, and i said "well i'll come back." and he was like, "no, no, that's okay. you don't have to come back. that's all right." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: like "that's enough, man. take care.
1:18 am
thanks for visiting." "send me a letter or something." >> the guards that search you, they get used to it. you know, one time, i think they had me bend over and they're looking up my butt. and i swear, this is a true story, he goes "hey, have you seen cheech lately?" [ laughter ] "no. why? is he up there?" >> jimmy: "that just reminded me. how is cheech doing?" [ laughter ] that's not a good time to have a conversation at all. >> was it like, it reminded them of me? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: either way, i would be offended. yeah, don't have a conservation with me at all. >> we had -- i had cheech and chong fans there, and they would wake me up in the middle of the night and say "hey, man, they're playing your movie on the television." >> jimmy: and you go -- in jail? >> like they said "you ever miss cheech?" i was in jail with, like, a lot of cheeches. >> jimmy: everybody has a tattoo, it says cheech on their arm. yeah, everyone misses cheech, yeah. >> the pedro cheech, you know? >> jimmy: yeah. oh, absolutely.
1:19 am
yeah, yeah. i want to ask you, in the '80s, you guys just broke up. >> yeah. >> jimmy: what was the reason? >> eh, we got tired of each other, you know? >> you want to know the truth? he left me for don johnson. that's what happened. [ laughter ] >> i didn't either. i left you for geraldo. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's right. you ended up doing "nash bridges" and stuff like that, but then you did other stuff too. >> "that 70's show." >> jimmy: "that 70's show" and then -- >> i cornered the market on all of the stoner -- >> jimmy: yeah, you just took whatever you could, yeah. >> i just played one character and cheech showed off how many characters? >> how many mexicans i can do. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so, how many is that? how many are you up to now? >> i'll go with seven, i think. [ laughter ] i'm an official mexican. >> jimmy: so, that's pretty good. that's awesome. not bad. >> cheech said, "you want the mustache on or off?" [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, which one do you want? yeah, exactly. >> i'll tell you. it was a funny story. i was in jail and i read -- [ laughter ] i read the thing about cheech is -- he's a love interest for tyne daly. >> in "judging amy." >> "judging amy." and when i read that, i fell on the floor laughing, dude.
1:20 am
[ laughter ] >> it must have been hilarious in prison. [ laughter ] >> tyne daly looked like one of the guards. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: but you're out on the road now and you're doing all of these sold out dates. it's called the "get it legal" tour. >> and we're just about to start the "get it legal" tour on january 16th. >> jimmy: you're going to milwaukee -- [ cheers and applause ] that's really cool. you're going to milwaukee, reno, tucson. that's just in one week. that's next week. gosh, you're really going for it. >> well, we toured all last year, too, and we did, i think, 138 dates in the united states, canada and australia. we toured australia, too, and it was fun. >> jimmy: oh, my gosh. >> another funny thing, the lady, the prosecutor that put me in jail. her named was mary beth buchanan, she just resigned, and it was on the internet i think yesterday. her only regret was that she accepted a plea from tommy chong. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: wait, what does that mean? >> that's her only regret. >> jimmy: that's her only
1:21 am
regret. oh, my god. >> the head of the, you know, the u.s. attorneys. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah. >> jimmy: that's her only regret. >> her only regret. yeah. >> jimmy: that's kind of a badge of honor. [ laughter ] >> they sentenced him to nine months because if they gave him a year, which was the sentence, he could get time off for good behavior, but nine months, you couldn't. you had to do the whole nine months. >> jimmy: oh, man. they really gave it to you. unbelievable. for all of the good comedy you gave us. >> well, it got us back together again. >> jimmy: well that worked out pretty good then. >> it gave us a reason to call our tour "get it legal" because if we "get it legal" then guys like me wouldn't go to jail. because i went to jail for a bong, you know? selling a pipe. >> jimmy: yeah, you weren't even possessing anything? >> no, we're almost close to getting it legal. it's quasi-legal now and we figured "we've got a black president, come on, this is our shot.
