Ted Harbert, president of E! and CEO of Comcast Entertainment Group, has decided to not only continue to be an insufferably horrible cable company but to give Snoop Dogg his own reality TV show. Harbert said Friday during E!’s portion of the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour that the rapper-producer-actor, his wife and his three kids will be the subject of an untitled half-hour series debuting in late 2007.
What!?!?! I have had it up to here with Snoop cameo-ing in on my favorite premium cable series (I’m looking at you Weeds and Entourage) but now he is hustling in on my reality TV! No, I say. Enough is enough! But I am sure the masses of teen and college-aged burn-outs will flock to this like the second coming of Latoya Jackson and it will be this huge phenomenal ratings hit and my 5 year old cousin will be forced to say “forshizzah” in her daily vernacular for the rest of her life. Again, no! Has Russell Simmons taught us nothing? Has his sufferings from being married to Kimora ‘trannysaurus’ Lee been for naught? Take back the night, my brothers, and do not let Snoop Dogg take over our airwaves.
Cameras will follow Snoop Dogg — aka Calvin Broadus Jr. — as he pursues his career, taking viewers into closed-door meetings and private recording sessions. They will also follow him in his roles as the founder of a youth football league and as dad to two sons and a daughter and husband to Shante.
Snoop Dogg’s involvement with community issues includes coaching 2,500 kids in the Snoop Youth Football League and orchestrating the Protect the West Conference, aimed at keeping the peace within the hip-hop community.
I’m not trying to be a hater but I call bullshit on Snoop Dogg’s philanthropic nature. Ok, fine. I am a hater. Sheesh. But don’t hate the hater, hate the blog. Or game. Or… you know what I mean! Hollaheezie!
