I have not seen you since
we were on stage together
dancing at Jimmy's party.
We-- yeah, we got-- we got--
we had fun.
That was a really fun--
yep.
We didn't know
what we were doing.
And then I left you
just alone by yourself,
and you were still doing it.
[LAUGHTER]
I was in a daze.
Oh, that was a fun party.
So you have a birthday
coming up this week?
Friday?
Yes.
Happy birthday to you.
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
So 46, right?
21.
OK, whatever you say.
Right.
But I mean, look at your life.
So your first single
was when you were 25.
How old were you?
It was 25 years ago.
My first album was 25 years ago.
My first single was
1991, Deep Cover.
Yeah.
And look what
you've accomplished.
It's amazing.
Right?
I mean, it feels good to
still be relevant and still
be wanted in the music
industry that really--
I'm just being real with you.
You know, most rappers
don't last this long.
I think they're laughing
at that picture.
There's nothing
wrong-- there's nothing
wrong with that picture.
What was that I had, a afro?
It appears to be an afro, yes.
Yeah, natural.
Yeah.
I like it.
But yeah, so you're
still relevant.
You still keep changing and
doing all kinds of things.
And what is your
proudest-- what is
the thing you're proudest
of in your entire career?
Probably my football league,
Snoop Youth Football League.
We have 12 kids in the NFL.
I know.
You're doing great!
[APPLAUSE]
That's like my baby.
Because when we started just
the Snoop Youth Football League,
all we wanted to do
was put back something
into the community
that wasn't there.
But we didn't know
that 15 years later, we
would have kids in the NFL,
Division 1, Rhodes Scholars,
lawyers, doctors, firemen.
We got so many kids
that have become
productive out of our league.
And we're just thankful for it.
Good for you.
Good for you.
[APPLAUSE]
That must make you feel so good.
And do they sometimes-- are
they playing against each other?
Are you watching them play
against each other in the NFL?
That must be tough.
The Chiefs played
against the Steelers.
And there was a
kid that I coached,
JuJu Smith, who plays
for the Steelers.
And there's a kid I coached for
the Chiefs, De'Anthony Thomas.
And they both was in
the game last night.
De'Anthony scored,
but the Steelers won,
so I was happy on both of them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Both the teams, the
Steelers, they're good.
I mean, the Steelers
are a great team.
You can't--
Man.
They're really good.
Still current, baby.
Yeah.
So all right, and
you were nominated
for your first Emmy,
congratulations,
with Martha Stewart.
[APPLAUSE]
What is the Emmy?
I don't understand.
What is the Emmy?
Yeah.
It's-- you don't need that.
That's all right.
I don't need it?
No.
All right, thanks.
No, you don't need an Emmy.
It's just great to be nominated.
It is?
Yes.
Because we come from the hood.
We're used to Soul Train
awards and BET awards,
you know, things like that.
So this is different.
So I have to be explained to me.
When Martha told me we was
nominated, I was like, OK.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
It's equal to a BET
or a Soul Train award.
I'll tell you that.
OK, cool.
Well, I want it next time then.
I need to get that.
All right, so you
did this reboot
of Joker's Wild, which I
remember this game show.
Are you having fun doing this?
I swear to you, I'm
having so much fun
being a game show host.
I'm doing the things that
I wanted to do as a kid.
I'm just having fun.
Yeah.
