Snoop Dogg went viral at this year’s Paris Olympics by presenting the Games’ main news coverage on NBC while also supporting American athletes.

“When the lights come on, I shine the brightest,” the ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ rapper, 52, told the Associated Press. “That’s me.”

The NBC special correspondent also went viral three years ago for his equestrian commentary at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, when he hosted a program called “Olympic Highlights” with Kevin Hart. Fans praised the network’s decision to bring him back for the 2024 Games.

Here are Snoop Dogg’s best moments from the Paris Olympics.

Hanging out with Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles

The two gymnasts showed off their moves in the gymnastics elimination round after Snoop Dogg was spotted dancing in the stands at Bercy Arena. Snoop, sitting in the first row, was seen shaking his hips with his hands in the air, and Biles showed him laughing at Chiles in what became a viral moment online.

Diving with Michael Phelps

In this clip from NBC Sports, which has more than 114,000 likes on TikTok, Snoop can be seen giving the legendary Olympian a deep dive into swimming faster, bragging about his wingspan and lung power.

“MP and I have a history of swimming backstrokes,” Snoop joked, comparing his body to Phelps’.

Overcoming your fear of horses with Martha Stewart

When Snoop came out The Martha Stewart Show In 2008, the pair struck up a close friendship that has continued over the years. The pair reunited at a dressage event to celebrate Stewart’s 83rd birthday, wearing helmets, white pants, and black jackets.

“Snoop called me and said I know horses and he’s a little scared of horses,” Stewart told NBC.

Shouting ‘GOOOOL!’ with Andrés Cantor

The rapper joined Telemundo’s broadcast alongside soccer commentator Andrés Cantor, who taught him to shout “GOOOOL!” in celebration. Snoop also got to show off his Spanish skills and was presented with a special Team USA jersey.

‘Walking’ in the Louvre

Snoop took a private tour of the museum, examining and commenting on many famous works of art, including the Mona Lisa.

“I just found out I’m Tony Lisa, Mona Lisa’s twin brother,” Snoop said, later testing the theory that his eyes follow wherever viewers go.
