There Is No Competition Between These Two Characters On That 70s Show
By Robert King
Just for fun, Reddit user hpspnmag ran a poll that asked "That '70s Show" fans on the website to vote for which character they preferred between Leo Chingkwake (Tommy Chong) and Roy Keene (Jim Gaffigan). Sadly for the latter, it couldn't be more clear who the favorite was. Roy walked away with a mere 94 votes, while Leo secured roughly 1,600, making him the runaway winner. Still, it wasn't a total loss for Roy. He wound up getting plenty of love in the comments, even from some of those who ultimately chose to cast their ballot for Leo.
Luckily for all 1,600 of those Leo fans, as well as countless more around the globe, they haven't seen the last of the easy-going Fotohut owner on the small screen. As revealed by Tommy Chong himself — potentially by accident — in May of 2022, he and his "That '70s Show" alter-ego will take part in "That '90s Show" (via AV Club). "They never gave me any instructions, so I don't know if I'm supposed to be talking about it or not," Chong said, but per his own admittance, he likes to talk, so he went ahead and confirmed the return of Leo anyway.
Time will tell if Jim Gaffigan will get the opportunity to play Roy again on "That '90s Show," but the fact alone that Tommy Chong is coming back as Leo is evidently more than enough for the vast majority of "That '70s Show" fans.
