Viewers of the Olympics delight in the antics of Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg on live television, as NBC humorously played one of the rapper’s greatest hits during its coverage of the dressage grand prix freestyle in Paris.
The duo, who are 31 years apart in age, were situated at NBC’s Olympic studio with the iconic Eiffel Tower in the background on Sunday night, as producers showcased Polish rider Sandra Sysojeva on her horse… to the tune of ‘Gin & Juice.’
As Sysojeva’s performance commenced, Snoop Dogg’s classic 1994 hit ‘Gin and Juice’ played, creating an amusing moment as the horse danced along to the rhythm while Snoop modified some lyrics on the spot.
‘Get cracking… to the front from the back… with so much drama in Par-is… It’s kind of hard bein’ the H-O-R-S-E…,’ the rapper exclaimed.
Stewart informed her fellow NBC correspondent that it’s ‘much more challenging’ for horses to move sideways on four legs than on two.

‘Are you sure?’ Snoop Dogg replied before demostrating on television.
The rapper, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., shared that dressage has become his new favorite sport to enjoy both live and from home.
‘I never realized how much I enjoy the bond between the rider and the horse,’ Snoop Dogg told NBC’s Mike Tirico.
‘I refer to them as drivers because they actually steer [the horses]. Watching it all unfold in person felt great.’
Stewart added that Snoop Dogg—her close friend and business partner—found it to be ‘very thrilling.’
The rapper even fed some horses despite his previously disclosed fear of riding them

‘I certainly did,’ Snoop Dogg confirmed.
Stewart followed up: ‘We observed about four different riders yesterday, and it was extraordinary.’
‘And I fed the horses,’ Snoop Dogg revealed. ‘I’m genuinely frightened of horses, so for me to do that feels like a significant step forward…’
