Why Is Snoop Dogg Attending the Winter Olympics?

Snoop Dogg is going to the Olympics to work as a special reporter for NBC. His main job is to make the Games fun and interesting for everyone, not just hardcore sports fans. He acts as a bridge between pop culture and sports, often doing funny interviews or trying out the sports himself.

He will bring back his popular segment called “Snoop’s Greatest Hits,” where he gives his funny opinions on the day’s best moments. On top of his TV job, he has a special new title as the first-ever “honorary coach” for Team USA. This doesn’t mean Snoop will train the athletes on the field, but rather focuses away from it. He will be the one to hype up the athletes, support their families, and get people all over the world excited to watch Team USA compete.
