Snoop Dogg will add 'awards host' to his extensive resume next month, after he was announced as the surprise voice of NFL Honors during Super Bowl week.
The rapper, and huge NFL fan, will take center stage at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans for the primetime awards show recognizing the best NFL players, performances and works of the 2024 season.
The annual event will take place on February 6, three days before the Super Bowl, and promises to feature a who's who of the world of professional football.
Keegan-Michael Key hosted the event last year, but the league has now turned to Snoop Dogg in hopes of attracting a broader audience to the event.
The entertainment icon has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide. He has reached number one countless times on the Billboard charts internationally and recently served as a coach on NBC's 'The Voice.'
He launched the Snoop Youth Football League nearly two decades ago and has since seen more than 40 of those kids make it to the NFL.
Snoop Dogg has been announced as the host of this year's NFL Honors Super Bowl week.
Last year, Keegan-Michael Key hosted and joked at the expense of many players.
The star-studded event sees top NFL players and their wives walk the red carpet.
NFL Honors debuted in 2012 and features the announcement of The Associated Press' annual awards, the prestigious NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year and the Pro Football Hall of Fame class.
Travis Kelce is nominated for Man of the Year and is expected to attend the event, although it's unclear if his girlfriend Taylor Swift will be in town.
A lot depends on whether the Chiefs can get back to the big game as they chase a third title under Andy Reid.
Last year, the Chiefs beat the 49ers in Las Vegas for a second straight title, and Swift was there to catch all the action.
