Appealing to the show’s well known fan base of stoned grandmas and 11 a.m. gin and juice drinkers, Snoop Dogg appeared on “The Price Is Right” yesterday, as party of Celebrity Charity Week, to help an annoying contestant win a lot of money. It’s the first time a rapper has appeared on a game show since the infamous 1991 episode of “Tic-Tac-Dough” with Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. They really did need the money.
On the Snoop Losing Any Credibility He Once Had by Doing Something That Has Nothing to Do with Rapping Scale, this ranks somewhere below his E! reality show, “Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood,” but above the time he appeared on “King of the Hill” as Alabaster Jones, the white pimp.
I’m not hating on the guy because he went on “The Price Is Right” and raised over $72,000 for the Snoop Youth Football League; I’m hating on Snoop because he went on “The Price Is Right” and now I know the guy who once rapped, “I’m hollering 187 with my di*k in your mouth” knows how much salad dressing costs.

He never goes with the lowest bid. He always bids high.

Those glasses do not deserve that car.
The $20 Sack Pyramid hosted by Dick “Duck Muthafuckin Mouf” Clark would have been a much better show for Calvin’s talents!

Snoop, like any stoner, knows exactly how much everything in a grocery store costs.
I totally watched this yesterday, only because Snoop was on the show, so I guess it worked.
Pretty sure Snoop sold out a LONG time ago. I mean old white people have not been afraid of him for at least a decade.
1. Snoop has collaborations with Katy Perry and Willie Nelson, which thrusts him into Ja Rule territory.
2. I’m confused, are you saying he lost credibility by portraying Alabaster Jones? Because that is one of the best KotH episodes, period.
I think Josh is saying it shows how low he has sunk. Can you imagine Jay Z going “You want me to play a white pimp? Okay, where do I sign?” He wouldn’t, and they wouldn’t even offer it to him because he would kill them and they know it.
