Snoop's commentary has become a viral sensation after 2020 equestrian commentary at the Tokyo games, and it came as no surprise that Peacock asked him back.

"We’re going to have some amazing competitions and, of course, I will be bringing that Snoop style to the mix. It’s going to be the most epic Olympics ever, so stay tuned, and keep it locked. 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," Peacock said.
"That performance alone has earned Snoop a job as our special correspondent in Paris. We don’t know what the heck is going to happen every day, but we know he will add his unique perspective to our re-imagined Olympic primetime show."
As well as sitting in on events and offering his unique commentary, Snoop has also been exploring Paris for NBC News, and giving fans an inside look into the Olympic village where athletes from all delegations stay.
Snoop also carried the Olympic torch through the streets of Saint-Denis — a suburb of Paris where the Olympic Stadium and the Aquatics Centre are located.
