In the bygone days when it was common for stand-up comedians and comedy troupes to open for musical acts on tour, one of Steve Martin's early stand-up stints was opening for The Carpenters (yes, siblings Karen and Richard, epitomizers of of 1970's soft rock).

Before teaming up with Tommy Chong to work together as Cheech & Chong, Richard "Cheech" Marin was a member of Canadian soul group Bobby Taylor & The Vancouvers, who had a 1968 US pop top 40 hit about interracial romance entitled "Does Your Mama Know About Me?".

Before his hippie epiphany (for lack of a better word?!) introduced to the comedy album-buying public on his 1972 long-player, FM & AM, George Carlin was, for a while, partnered with Jack Burns, who would later be known as the comedic foil to Avery Schreiber.

To promote his first album, Richard Pryor's record company sent copies of it to barber shops catering to black male clientele.

Before his Christian conversion, Jesus hippie comedian Mike Warnke was a Satanic priest.

Answers? They are 1)True (as Martin confirmed for me when I interviewed him via telephone several years ago), 2)False (though Tommy Chong was a member of that group), 3)True (see https://www.discogs.com/master/471382-Burns-And-Carlin-At-The-Playboy-Club-Tonight) 4)True, per the booklet accompanying the ... And It's Deep Too!: The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings (1968-1992) CD box set, 5)False,. though he claimed he was was Satanic clergy in his testimony before an early '90's magazine expose revealed the truth (not appreciating the commentator's closing snark, but see https://www.youtu.be.com/watch?v=QdPVqkJb9w4). How many did you get right?
