Wearing a red, white and blue track suit with his name and the
NBC peacock logo, the hip hop megastar said on Wednesday that
his plan for Paris entailed "shaking it up in many different
ways, bringing my flavor."
"It's going to be me in the field, at events, moving through the
city, doing the things that Snoop Dogg does," he said at a
Television Critics Association event.
Snoop and comedian Kevin Hart narrated Olympic highlights that
ran on the Peacock streaming service at the summer games held in
2021 after being delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In one clip,
Snoop marveled at the agility on display in an equestrian event,
calling it "off the chain," and wondered "how do horses get to
Tokyo?"
"I'm going to get fired or promoted" for bringing Snoop into
prime time broadcasts, joked Molly Solomon, executive producer
and president of NBC's Olympics production.
The Paris Olympics will take place July 26 to Aug. 11. NBC,
owned by Comcast, will broadcast live coverage of high profile
events such as gymnastics and swimming during the day with
recaps in prime time.
Snoop said he would be fully prepared for his unconventional
gig.
"I don't never come in cold. I always come in hot," he said.
"Don't worry about the research. I know everything about
everybody. It's going to be fun."
On a serious note, the musician said he was honored to play a
role at the Olympics, which he considered a moment of peace when
the world comes together.
"I always represent peace," he said.
