Watch: Tommy Chong Wins Bet With Cheech Marin

Tommy Chong started his Dancing With the Stars time off with a bang. Well, more like a puff of smoke and a bang. Chong called in his buddy Cheech Marin for his debut dance with Peta Murgatroyd.

Chong said he wasn't nervous leading up to his big dance floor debut. "I was nervous before I met Peta," he told E! News. "I was kind of nervous, ‘Who are they going to put me with?' but when I saw her, all the nerves went away. I'm in good hands…more Peta please."

Chong said he and Marin had a bet going that Dancing With the Stars wouldn't bring on either of them, but Chong got hired for season 19. There was no wager; it was just a "gentlemen's best."

"When Cheech and I gamble, neither one of us pay the other guy," he said. "We just say, ‘Put it on my tab.'"

Chong danced to "Drop It Like It's Hot" and received a score of 27 out of 40.
