It’s a rare occurrence to see a rapper and actor take on the role of an Olympics reporter, but Snoop Dogg has achieved just that. His unique commentary alongside Kevin Hart at the Tokyo Olympics left a lasting impression, and now Snoop is set to bring his distinctive reporting style to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
How did Snoop land this unexpected gig, you may wonder? It all began with a viral video of him discussing a horse Crip-walking. NBC was so impressed with his engaging commentary on the dressage competition that they knew they had to bring him back for more. Molly Solomon, Executive Producer and President of NBC’s Olympics Production, expressed that Snoop’s one-of-a-kind perspective and knack for drawing millions of views made him the perfect fit for the role of Special Correspondent in Paris.
During a recent Sunday Night Football game, the news of Snoop’s involvement was revealed to the world. Snoop will be teaming up with sportscaster Mike Tirico and will be seen exploring Paris, attending Olympic events, and engaging with athletes, their friends, and families. There’s no doubt that Snoop will infuse his unique style into the coverage, and he’s already begun filming promotions with some of the Team USA athletes.
For those curious about what Snoop’s coverage will entail, a glance back at his and Kevin Hart’s uproarious commentary during the last Olympics offers a glimpse. The dynamic duo undeniably brought a fresh and entertaining perspective to the event, and there’s every reason to believe that Snoop will do the same in Paris.
With the Summer Olympics set to take place from 26th July to 11th August, we can all anticipate a generous serving of Snoop-style entertainment coming our way. Whether he’s giving us a tour of Paris or providing commentary on the games, there’s no doubt that Snoop will leave his mark on the 2024 Olympics. We eagerly await to see what he has in store for us!
