Tommy Chong will be back as Leo in Netflix’s upcoming That ’90s Show, a follow-up to hit sitcom That ’70s Show.
Chong revealed he will reprise the role during an interview on The Dark Mark Show. “They gave me a call and I did my part…They never gave me any instructions, so I don’t know if I’m supposed to be talking about it or not. I really don’t give a s*** to tell you the truth. I’ve got a big mouth. That’s what I’m known for…I’m back as Leo,” Chong said. You see see a clip of his interview at the bottom of the story.
Chong also tweeted the news, which Netflix has confirmed.
