Snoop Dogg The legendary rapper on covering the Summer Olympics for NBC, being "a very legal guy," and the horse he wants to meet

When NBC came to you about this gig reporting on the Games from Paris, why did you sign on?

- SEAN GREGORY

Why not? Not why. This is what I do, you know what I'm saying? I love being in front of the people. I love sports.

I know what I'm talking about. The network is appealing enough to understand that we deserve each other.

So we're gonna make magic.

And what do you plan to bring to NBC's coverage that maybe we haven't seen before?

The fire and the smoke.

What do you mean by that?

You figure it out. I'm pretty sure you've been doing this sh-t long enough to figure out what I mean by that. [Laughs.]

During the Tokyo Games, your equestrian commentary went viral. Do you plan to try equestrian at all?

Me and horses, I'm gonna let them dance while I talk.

I saw somewhere that you're going to try to meet the horse you said was crip walking in Tokyo.
