It’s a brilliant highdea, and now it’s real: Martha Stewart and Snoop Lion (née Dogg) are getting their own show to debut this fall on VH1.
“Martha & Snoop’s Dinner Party” will be one part “The Odd Couple” and one part food competition.
Here’s the synopsis, via VH1:
Each week, Snoop and Martha will invite celebrity friends over for a half-baked evening of cocktails, cooking, conversation, and fun where nothing is off limits.
“At our dinner party, we will exemplify America’s fascination with food, entertaining and celebrity. ‘Martha & Snoop’s Dinner Party’ will redesign the traditional food competition shows in a new, different and very funny way,” Stewart explains.
“My homegirl Martha and I have a special bond that goes back. 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!” Snoop adds.
Snoop has famously appeared on Stewart’s “Living” show several times, teaching her the meaning of “fo shizzle” while she taught him how to mash potatoes with a machine.
And in an Ask Me Anything on Reddit two years ago, Stewart admitted that she wished they were closer friends:
Looks like your wish has come true, Martha ― as well as the wishes of those of us who’ve always wondered what a dinner party by these two unlikely cohosts would be like.
