Snoop Dogg Makes Olympic History: Named Team USA’s First-Ever Honorary Coach for the 2026 Winter Games
In a groundbreaking announcement, legendary rapper, cultural icon, and global entertainer Snoop Dogg has been officially named Team USA’s first honorary coach for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games. This marks the first time in U.S. Olympic history that an artist has been appointed to the role — and there may be no figure more universally loved and culturally influential than Snoop.
The appointment follows Snoop’s viral success as an Olympic commentator during the 2021 Tokyo Games, where his humor, authenticity, and unforgettable reactions captivated millions. Now, NBC has confirmed that Snoop will return as a special correspondent, bringing his signature charm, storytelling, and comedic brilliance back to the Olympic stage.

Snoop Dogg’s presence isn’t just entertainment — it’s a cultural bridge.
His involvement is expected to bring:
- Younger audiences into the Olympic conversation
- Massive social media engagement
- Global attention beyond traditional sports coverage
- A fresh, unfiltered energy that only Snoop can deliver
Team USA officials say his role as honorary coach is meant to celebrate community, unity, and the intersection between sports and culture — something Snoop has embodied for decades.
Snoop’s Reaction? As Classic As Expected
In true Snoop fashion, the rapper expressed excitement, pride, and gratitude, calling the opportunity “legendary” and promising to bring nothing but support, fun, and motivation to Team USA.
“I’m here to hype the team, bring the energy, and make history,” he said.
