| There were 11,000 torch bearers for this Olympics. NBC probably had some sway in selecting x number of participants. Snoop hosts an Olympic show for Peacock. It’s PR. |

Yup, NBC PR. He's also a new judge on The Voice. |

| It looks like he is going to be doing stuff for NBC throughout the Olympics? |

He is supposed to be a new coach (or returning) on the Voice. He has also worked in a different role before on same show. Must be in their contracts, or network could not find anyone else to cover the Olympics, or he joined as a substitute. |

Wonder if election season was reason other folks were tied up so they called him up. Or did the threats that US has been warning of affect a joirnalist's decision to even go to France? |

No! He’s under contract with NBC. this is what they do as a network. He’s also been on the today show and other NBC shows. It’s all PR. |

| How did he become so mainstream? Gangsta rap and pimp to Martha’s friend and NBC personality. |
