Oh well at least he was written out and not just forgotten like other cast members of the show. Then at the end did u hear Kelso say... Maybe he got abducted by a UFO

I wonder where they got that Idea???

ah man I missed it I was watching Erik in a Disney Movie
Eh well so what happened though?

MonarC · 02-28-2003, 09:56 AM

Well Leo left the show. But he wasn't on the show. He left Hyde a bunch of "oregano"

Sakuraba · 03-02-2003, 08:16 PM

does anyone know why he "left" the show? was the character written out because Tommy Chong wanted to leave? was it over money, like Tanya?

i've searched industry websites and newsletters and i can't find out why he left.

MonarC · 03-03-2003, 12:24 AM

He was on the radio here like around last

Christmas

and said he is gonna do another Cheech & Chong movie

found this article on tvguide.com just though I would post it here

That '70s Show regular Tommy Chong says former comedy partner Cheech Marin is making a big mistake by abandoning the brand of stoner comedy that helped make them stars.
"Audiences come to accept you in a particular way," says Chong, 62, who plays Leo the stoner on the popular Fox sitcom. It's a familiar role for Chong, who helped invent pothead humor back in the 1970s as one half of the comedy duo Cheech & Chong. "They know I represent marijuana. If you start deviating from how they know you, it can kill you.

"Look at Cheech," he tells High Times. "He plays sidekick to Don Johnson. That's not how audiences know him. Once you make your decision to leave the old Cheech behind, it's real hard to come back."

While Marin in recent years has found success in mainstream projects (Nash Bridges, Tin Cup), Chong has been making a living merchandising bong pipes and touring comedy clubs. Chong's expressed interest in reviving Cheech & Chong, but Marin will have no part of it.

"He's happy," says Chong. "But I think he made a mistake. We had control over everything we did. I still do. I don't know if he does." — Rich Brown

I don't know why Tommy Chong said that. Cheech Marin's career
hasn't exactly been terrible. Besides the other things you mentioned, Marin has made appearances in movies like Desperado, Spy Kids, Spy Kids 2, From Duck Til Dawn, and was the voice of Banzai, a hyena, in Disney's The Lion King. Not too shabby:-) Maybe Chong is a little jelous of Cheech, because he's having a much harder time finding work.

MonarC · 05-22-2003, 03:45 PM

I heard on the radio the other day that Tommy Chong was arrested for selling bong

I didn't know bongs were illegal to sell u can buy them at any smoke shop.... Weird...

DarkOmegaZer0 · 07-31-2003, 02:56 PM

Leo has to come back! Probably for the final episode or episodes leading up to it.

MonarC · 11-12-2003, 02:22 PM

I can't believe he is still in jail for selling bongs.... They sell bongs in San Antonio at smoke shops. None of those people are in jail.
