It’s become quite clear that TV executives are running out of show concepts, because the very idea of sitting Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg on camera together every week is…weird.
Not “funny” weird. Just weird.
VH1 announced today that the home entertaining expert and the rapper are joining forces to create Martha & Snoop‘s Dinner Party, “a half-baked evening of cooking, conversation and fun where nothing is off limits,” according to a press release obtained by E!.
That sounds a lot like the premise Kocktails With Khloe, which was billed as a gathering “in the kitchen and around the table for an intimate dinner party filled with cooking, pop culture, conversation and outrageously fun party games.
Stewart and Snoop’s party, of course, will be so much better.
“At our dinner party, we will exemplify America’s fascination with food, entertaining and celebrity,” Stewart said in a statement.
“Martha & Snoop’s Dinner Party will redesign the traditional food competition shows in a new, different and very funny way.”
Snizzle Dizzle echoed his co-host’s sentiments.
“Martha and I have a special bond that goes back,” the rapper stated.
“We’re gonna be cooking, drinking and having a good time with our exclusive friends. Can’t wait for you to see how we roll together!”
VH1 is pretty confident that it can reinvent the wheel and create a hit.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg, two of pop culture’s biggest icons,” VH1 and Logo president Chris McCarthy stated.
“Good parties are filled with fun, food and unexpected guests. Wait til you see what happens at Martha and Snoop’s Dinner Party; it will be unforgettable.”
Stewart’s team Instragram’d the news to followers, promising that she and Snoop will “throw the best dinner parties you’ll ever see on @vh1. Game on, Snoop!”
Stewart and Snoop have been friends for about eight years, after he appeared on her now-defunct talk show to make mashed potatoes. He taught her slang, she gave him a few lessons in cooking. BOOM, a friendship was born.
The new series is scheduled to premiere in the fall.
