What Is Snoop Dogg's New Show About?

June 2024 ยท 5 minute read

In his all-new show, now streaming exclusively on Peacock TV, Snoop Dogg and comedy star guests view and comment on video clips of the dumbest criminals and their hilarious crime fails. Snoop Dogg, who is worth $150 million, just recently dodged a sexual assault lawsuit, when the anonymous plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit.

Whether this will affect how fans respond to his new show is unclear, but it would be ironic if he was ever found guilty since his show is all about roasting criminals.

The legendary rapper and crime-adjacent comedian is joined by his clip organizer, Tacarra Williams, who also joins each episode's guests as they sit back and analyze each clip. With side-splitting humor, the hapless fails of the dumbest crimes caught on video are critiqued and laughed up for the audience to enjoy.

Seemingly laid back and not taking itself seriously, the show is sure to be an entertaining half-hour each episode โ€” though for how long is anyone's guess.

Snoop Dogg's New Show: What To Expect

For a man that likes to toe the line of criminally funny and just plain criminal, it is ironic that Snoop Dogg would create a show making fun of hilarious crimes gone wrong. However, this does not deter from what the show can bring, in terms of unfiltered humor and a lineup of comedy's greatest stars, such as Jim Jefferies and Godfrey.

Each episode is made to feel as though the audience is laughing with their friends, and it is a much more relaxed setting than most of the video clip humor shows we have seen in the past.

What it does seem to lack are the standard expectations of a Snoop Dogg presence: marijuana and alcohol. While there are undoubtedly some "refreshments" off-stage, there appears to be no partaking onstage. While this may be a surprise to fans, it does not seem to make him or his guests any less funny โ€” a good thing considering their comedy angle.

Why Is Snoop Dog Turning To TV?

From the expensive houses he has lived in, to his commitment to the Snoop Youth Football League, Snoop Dogg is by far one of the most complex people to have entered the public's eye. Born under the name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. in 1971, the rapper has held many names and titles throughout his career as a media personality, actor, songwriter, and entrepreneur.

While he has faced many criminal charges throughout his career, most of the people who have met him say that he is a kind and caring person.

While everything from his career focus to his side of public opinion has changed over time, the one near-constant in his life has always been his family โ€” specifically his wife. He married Shante Taylor in 1997, though they briefly separated, they have since reunited and seem like a power couple these days.

He has always put his family first, and while the reality show Snoop Dogg's Father Hood was an epic failure, many have been astounded at the commitment that the rapper has made to his family. This new show is a return to TV for Snoop, but in a different direction than fans are used to.

What Other Projects Has Snoop Dogg Taken On?

Although Snoop Dogg is best known for his music, he has pursued other ventures, many having little to do with his life as a rapper and actor. He has become quite the entrepreneur, investing in everything from Reddit, to cannabis, to real estate.

His business ventures have turned a tidy profit, as he is now one of the richest rappers in the world. He has also delved into the world of food, teaming up with 19 Crimes to create his wine, the Snoop Dogg Cali Red Blend.

He spends his free time and money helping others and is known for his philanthropy. He is the founder and coach of the Snoop Youth Football League which provides underprivileged students in Los Angeles with football opportunities. He also helps with everything from Thanksgiving "turkey drives" to partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, where he helped raise $2.3 million in one night back in 2017. Snoop is known for his generous donations to a variety of charities, and he is an active supporter of human rights.

What Happened To Snoop Dogg's Father Hood?

While many of his projects and investments have brought him fame and fortune, no one has been able to forget Snoop Dogg's failed reality show, Snoop Dogg's Father Hood. Many celebrities in the early 2000s tried (and mostly failed) to get a piece of the reality TV show action. However, few failed as spectacularly as Snoop Dogg, except maybe Britney Spears, with her show Chaotic. Snoop's series lasted barely two seasons and it was a shock to many that it even lasted that long.

From the very first episode, critics hit it hard and fans were disappointed in the over-the-top and blatant staging of the show. While staging is expected in reality television, few have ever done it so horribly as in this show.

This failure has been deemed worse than his short stint on Dogg After Dark, which was a variety show on MTV back in 2009. The show was mostly celebrity interviews and comedy sketches, and it gained very little notoriety or fame. With only eight episodes ever recorded, it was certainly a flop, but still nowhere near the letdown that was Snoop Dogg's Father Hood.

While fans may be hesitant to try the new show, many critics and movie reviewers have already deemed the show to be worth the watch, even as a background program while fans go about their day. The episodes are humorous and enjoyable, and it appears to have a good stride right out of the gate. Only time will tell if this show will be another jewel in Snoop Dogg's legacy or will fade away as the season continues.
