Snoop Dogg did the morning weather report with Al Roker and you may never see above-average highs like this again
Snoop Dogg recently shook things up on the *Today* show, co-hosting its final hour and even taking on a stint as the resident weatherman. The rap icon brought his signature laid-back style and high-class charm to the show, leaving a lasting impression that has viewers talking.
Snoop’s popularity at the Paris Olympics had already soared thanks to his unique “work” for NBC, where he entertained viewers with his relaxed style and even took some good-natured ribbing from Simone Biles’ mom over a long-forgotten missed autograph. Now, Snoop was back on NBC, ready for another memorable appearance, this time filling in with the morning show crew and offering his signature humor as he delivered the weather with Al Roker.
Not one to go by the book, Roker customized the national weather map to match Snoop’s vibe, highlighting cities like Weed, California, and Stoner, Colorado. Snoop was delighted and enthusiastically read the temperatures in cities like Mary Jane Falls, Smoke Rise, and High Point. The map’s “Above Average Highs” label was an extra treat for Snoop, who called it his favorite part.
Of course, Snoop’s stint as a weatherman fits into a rich tradition of celebrity cameos on weather segments. Larry David famously “helped” Al Roker on *Today*, poking fun at the glasses and joking that forecasting was so easy even he could do it. Tom Hanks had his own quirky turn in 2011 on Univision, attempting awkward dance moves during the weather report. And Australia’s *Today* hosts were surprised when Chris Hemsworth casually dropped by to give the weather, proving even superheroes enjoy a detour from their usual roles.
Even British royalty has gotten in on the act, with King Charles (then Prince Charles) charming viewers on BBC Scotland in 2012. With a perfectly British touch, he reported rain across Scotland and jokingly added, “Thank God it isn’t a bank holiday.”
Maybe more celebrity weathermen and women are just what we need to make tuning in to the forecast more fun—no offense to Al Roker, but it beats checking the app!
