>“I grew up watching the Olympics and am thrilled to see the incredible athletes bring their A-game to Paris,” he told several outlets in a statement Sunday. “It’s a celebration of skill, dedication and the pursuit of greatness.”
>“It’s going to be the most epic Olympics ever, so stay tuned, and keep it locked,” Snoop continued. “Let’s elevate, celebrate and make these games unforgettable, smoke the competition, and may the best shine like gold. Peace and Olympic LOVE, ya dig?”
>“Snoop is already an Olympic gold medal commentator, generating tens of millions of views for his highlights commentary on Peacock of the dressage competition during the Tokyo Olympics,” Molly Solomon, president of NBC Olympics Production, told the outlets.

There Will Be Blunts
>The “Doggystyle” rapper has been officially hired by NBC as “special correspondent” for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, and will not only provide his distinctive take on the competitions but also visit famous landmarks and interview the athletes.
National Lampoon’s Vacation:
“I think I can make some sense out of this.
Well, somebody better explain… or there’ll be a lot of explaining to do.”
If Snoop doesn’t commentate the High Jump there should be a congressional investigation.
I know Olympic ratings have been tanking recently. This is surely a gimmick to remedy that. That said, I’ll watch
‘We Don’t Know What The Heck Is Going To Happen’
Yeah, I’m sure it will be totally wacktacular and zany. Snoop has and will do anything for a dollar, and has shown us this for decades.
I know what the heck is going to happen. People are going to watch!
Maybe if you had snoop and Willie Nelson both smoking in a booth I’d watch.
NBC coverage is a joke anyway. Might as well go all in and at least make it interesting.
My guess is it will be a bit like when they hired him for the 2021 Olympics
NBC has the worst sports coverage in general
Olympic coverage has gotten worse and worse in recent years with massive amounts of cheesy backstory filler. Hiring Snoop dogg 100% turns this around and I will absolutely be watching
I think he wants Smith to try that slap shite with him
“Omelette du fromage my Nizzle” – Snoop (probably)
But we’re hoping you’ll tune in to find out! Because now that we know way too much about how the sausage is made, we find ourselves disinterested. Yay Snoop – work long and prosper. Umm Olympics…. This won’t be enough to get me to tune in.
I don’t think Snoop does either
This sucks. I am a big snoop fan but his commentary absolutely sucks. Like maybe the worst ive ever heard in my life. Hearing him do MMA and Boxing events was painful, and should be illegal.
If it’s anything like him narrating nature docs or Game of Thrones episodes, then what the heck is going to happen will be pure gold.
