Snoop Dogg's role as NBC's special correspondent for the Paris 2024 Olympics is already proving to be a highlight of the games.

At 52, the rapper's enthusiasm for his new broadcasting role is so infectious that it almost overshadows his refusal to don swim goggles during a pool lesson with 23-time gold medalist Michael Phelps.

During his "Primetime in Paris" segment, Snoop, in his signature style, scoffed at the idea of using goggles.

“Hell no, I see really good without them,” he declared, before diving into the water in his Snoop Dogg-themed bathing trunks.

Despite struggling in the pool initially, he’s proving to be a gold medal commentator and the ultimate cheerleader for Team USA, making his appearances a must-see alongside host Mike Tirico.

Snoop Dogg’s commentary has added a fresh, entertaining twist to the Olympics. His vivid and humorous description of a men’s doubles badminton match between the USA and China captivated audiences.

His July 28 commentary was a memorable showcase of his unique style:

"As you see, it don’t stop ’til the casket drop. They rocking and rolling. Back and forth. Give me that. No, I need that. Nope, over here. No, over there.

What about over there? Nope. What about over there? Nope. Give me that. I need that. That too. Nope, sit down somewhere. Wait a minute. Way up in the sky.

Now down. Back up. Over there. Now over here. Get out the way. Move. I told you. We need that.”

Snoop Dogg's emotional connection to the Olympics was on full display when he carried the Olympic torch during the opening ceremonies.

His deep appreciation for the national anthem was evident as he was seen shedding tears of joy after witnessing Caeleb Dressel win his eighth gold medal.

Draped in the American flag and singing the anthem with closed eyes, Snoop shared, "The Star-Spangled Banner—there's something emotional about that song and being there with all those Americans. And being with the family, I felt like part of the family.”

Snoop’s support for Simone Biles was evident when he wore a T-shirt featuring her face during the women’s gymnastics qualifications. His wide-eyed astonishment at Biles’ performance became an instant sensation online.

The U.S. gymnastics team even acknowledged Snoop’s presence, with Biles and her teammates reacting to his energetic support.

Another touching moment came when Snoop sat with Jordan Chiles' parents during their daughter’s performance. While Chiles' mother and father were visibly anxious, Snoop remained composed until he joined in the applause, showcasing his genuine support.

Having already gained attention with his joyful commentary during the Tokyo 2020 Games, Snoop has only amplified his enthusiasm on the Paris 2024 stage.

Reflecting on his role, he told Tirico, “Somebody’s got to do it; why not me?” His infectious energy and unique perspective have made him a standout figure in Olympic coverage.

As Snoop Dogg continues to bring his signature style to the games, his vibrant contributions are set to be a highlight of the Paris Olympics, ensuring that fans will remember his presence long after the games conclude.
