What Is Snoop Dogg Doing Carrying the Olympic Torch?

The carrying of the Olympic torch is a tradition that goes back nearly a century. Every iteration of the games, the flame is carried from country to country, eventually landing in the host country where a large torch is lit to kick off the games.

Naturally, when this task is performed, there’s always a question about who’s actually going to wield it. There’s a selection process in which people can apply to carry the torch, but it’s always fun when someone notable carries the flame. Like, can you imagine if someone like Snoop Dogg was asked to transport the famed fire? That would be wild, right?

Well, it actually happened, and he seemed pretty thrilled about doing it. I guess it’s appropriate, given how much this year’s torch looks like a blunt.
