Strange bedfellows may be

not so strange after all

re you looking to class up your act?

Do you want to become the type
of sophisticated that throws dinner
parties and arranges centerpieces, but
youre scared that you'll lose your edge?
Have no fear, VHi is looking to help you
out with their new lifestyle program
starring DIY diva Martha Stewart. The

twist? It will be co-starring Snoop Dogg.

Martha and Snoop’s Potluck
Dinner Party will feature the long-
time friends organizing and hosting
a dinner party each week for a few of
their other famous friends. Like most
of Stewart’s previous shows, it will
be unscripted, and it is expected to
focus on the pair producing the party,
as opposed to presenting a table side
discussion with various celebrities.
Stewart also hinted that there might
be a competitive aspect to the show
when she said, “At our dinner party, we
will exemplify America’s fascination
with food, entertaining and celebrity
[...] Martha & Snoop’s [Potluck] Dinner

Party will redesign the traditional
food competition shows in a new,
different, and very funny way.”

As surprising as this team-up
sounds, it’s not so out of the blue. As
I said, the pair have been long-time
friends and Snoop Dogg has had
repeated guest spots on Stewart’s long
running talk show, Martha—including
a holiday episode where Snoop shared
his signature brownie recipe. Though,
admittedly, the version he shared
was probably lacking one special
ingredient. When asked about his new
co-star, Snoop replied “..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!”

In a teaser trailer released to
US Weekly, the new dynamic duo
was shown cooking side by side,
with Stewart mimicking Snoop’s
unique phrasing after one too many
cocktails. The show itself is set to
premiere November 7, 2016 and
will feature such celebrity guests
as Wiz Kalifa and Seth Rogan.
