Snoop Dogg & Jimmy Kimmel Go Over his Crazy Requests: Fritos, Lemonade, Hot Wings

by

When you’ve reached a certain level of success, you can ask for ridiculous things, like Snoop Dogg seems to do. The Rap mogul has been involved in various aspects of the entertainment industry for decades. He’s moved from being perceived as a frightening gangster rapper to making baked goods with Martha Stewart.

Snoop recently had a full circle moment with Jimmy Kimmel during his appearance on the comedian’s late-night talk show this week. Twenty years ago, Snoop sat down for an interview on Kimmel’s very first episode, and the host spoke about the ridiculous requests the rapper made at the time.

Apparently, back in 2003, Snoop demanded chicken wings—and they had to be from Hot Wings Cafe or Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles. He also requested fruit punch, Moët & Chandon champagne, Country Time lemonade, and the Donald Duck brand of orange juice.

Things have evolved over the last two decades. These days, Snoop requires specific, small bags of Doritos, Minute Maid fruit punch, Honey BBQ Fritos, and cranberry juice.

“You know you’re here for an hour, right?” Kimmel joked.

The rapper was able to laugh at it all.

“You got to look at it like this, Jimmy,” he said. “Every opportunity to do a television show is like a shopping spree, I get a chance to get some free groceries.”

Snoop Dogg Reminisced About ‘Quitting’ Smoking Weed 20 Years Ago On The ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ Anniversary Episode

by

Last night (January 26), Jimmy Kimmel Live! celebrated its 20th anniversary with a special episode looking back at the show’s two-decade run. They even got the celebrity guests from the debut episode back: Snoop Dogg (who served as co-host on the 2003 episode) and George Clooney. The two had a retrospective conversation, in which they discussed how at the time back then, Snoop had apparently just quit smoking weed… or so he told Kimmel.

Kimmel brought that up and followed up, “How is that going?” Snoop, who is of course one of pop culture’s most famous marijuana connoisseurs, gave a fake sigh and replied, “Well, I guess I’ve relapsed.”

From there, Kimmel revealed he has hung on to Snoop’s 2003 rider (a list of things he wanted in his dressing room) for all these years and rattled off the items, which were mostly junk food. He then compared it to Snoop’s current rider, which is essentially the same but just a lot longer. Snoop laughed as he read the newer rider and then explained, “You got to look at it like this: Every opportunity to go on a television show is like a shopping spree. I get a chance to get some free groceries.”

Check out the clip above. Snoop also sat in on Kimmel’s conversation with Clooney, so find that below.

Jimmy Kimmel Apologizes to Quinta Brunson During Her Visit to 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel apologized to Abbott Elementary creator Quinta Brunson during his Wednesday night show for playing dead on stage at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday as she accepted her award.

Brunson won the Emmy for outstanding writing in a comedy series and Kimmel continued to carry out a bit on stage.

During Kimmel’s opening monologue on Wednesday, Brunson interrupted, holding her Emmy, cutting off his routine.

“You know, you’re a little bit early for your interview. It’s after the commercial,” Kimmel said.

“I know, but I have a little favor to ask, actually, Brunson said. “So you know how you win an Emmy, you only have 45 seconds to do an acceptance speech, which is not that much time? And then you get less time because someone does a dumb comedy bit that goes on a bit too long?”

She then used the rest of the monologue time to finish her acceptance speech, thanking fans, cast, and more. After the break, Kimmel spoke about the moment.

“I do want to explain this for those who may be confused by this,” said Kimmel. “That was a dumb comedy bit that we thought would be funny. I lost, and then I drank too much, and I had to be dragged out on the stage. And then people got upset. They said that I stole your moment, and maybe I did. I’m very sorry if I did do that — I’m sorry I did do that, actually. And also, the last thing I would ever want to do is upset you because I think so much of you, and I think you know that. I hope you know that.”

You can see the entire moment from Jimmy Kimmel Live below.

Jimmy Kimmel Is Shocked That Kanye West Managed To ‘Cyberbully Pete Davidson Off The Earth’

by

Earlier this month, rumors began swirling that Pete Davidson may be ready to take to the skies for a zero gravity brodown with Jeff Bezos. On Monday, Bezos’ Blue Origin confirmed that the SNL star will indeed be part of the spacecraft’s crew when it blasts off on March 23. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for anyone, but Jimmy Kimmel thinks there might be something a little more to it than that, especially given the timing.

As most people know, Davidson—for reasons beyond this writer’s comprehension (and the comedian’s own)—is a notorious ladies’ man, and has been dating Kim Kardashian since late 2021. This latter fact does not sit well with Kardashian’s ex, Kanye West, and Kanye and Davidson have been engaging in a serious game of one-upmanship for months. And Kimmel thinks that Davidson’s upcoming out-of-this-world adventure could be related to his ongoing beef with Ye. As he said on Monday night:

“Seats are filling up for the next Bezos pocket rocket launch, and you know who’s going up? Pete Davidson. Pete Davidson will take a Blue Origin flight into space next week. Amazing. Did Kanye really cyber bully Pete Davidson off the Earth?

Actually, the reason [Pete’s] doing this is in order to understand Kanye better, he’s visiting his home planet. I guess now we know there’s no drug test to go into space, huh?”

Today in 2003, former Death Row CEO Suge Knight appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! after his nine-year prison bid and made a shocking insinuation about the AIDS-related death of N.W.A. and Ruthless Records founder Eric “Eazy-E” Wright in 1995.

Kimmel and his crowd jeered and cringed as Knight chuckled at his cruel joke, while the late-night talk show host played it off with a one-liner about the terror level going up a notch after Knight’s mention of the gangsta rap pioneer.

The former Death Row CEO landed himself back in prison a decade following this interview. Karma is a bitch,

Morray Blazes His Way Through ‘Quicksand’ In His Television Debut On ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

by

Three weeks removed from the release of his debut mixtape Street Sermons, North Carolina crooner/rapper Morray made his television debut last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, blazing through a medley performance of lead single “Quicksand” and mixtape cut “Can’t Use Me.” Amid dystopian staging featuring a burning car and various debris in the background and embellishing the soulful production with a live band, Morray quickly proved to be a polished performer, even though it was pre-recorded.

Morray’s tape arrived on April 28 in the middle a tough week for releases, as that New Music Friday brought a swarm of standout projects from the likes of AG Club, The Alchemist, and DJ Khaled. However, that turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the newcomer, as his No.41 debut on the Billboard 200 looks all the more impressive in hindsight. “Quicksand,” which peaked at No.65 on Hot 100, also drew attention to Morray’s work, garnering cosigns from fellow Carolinians DaBaby and J. Cole.

The “Trenches” rapper’s star continued to rise this past weekend as he was revealed as one of the features on Cole’s new album The Off-Season, singing an interpolation of Pharoahe Monch’s chorus from Styles P’s 2002 single “The Life.”

Watch Morray sing “Quicksand” and “Can’t Use Me” from his debut album on Jimmy Kimmel Live! above.
