Martha Stewart and Snoop Doggs Unexpectedly Adorable Friendship: A Timeline
In this dumpster fire of a year we call 2016, there is at least one shining light at the end of the tunnel: Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg are hosting an eccentric new cooking show on VH1 called Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party, set to debut on November 7. While the news was met with the collective sound of confused huhs, the two have actually enjoyed a rather well-documented friendship that extends back to 2008 when Snoop first made an appearance on Stewart’s former talk show Martha. In celebration of their new cookery collaboration, we’ve broken down the history of their long, winding friendship.
November 2008: The duo compare preferred mashed-potato techniques, discuss vocabulary words, and make a starchy meal on Martha. After their segment, Stewart wrote on her blog about the “Snoop-guistics” that she learned: “He and his posse add ‘izzles’ onto the ends of words. It’s kind of a code, or a way of communicating so that others won’t know what they’re talking about. Example: fo shizzle is how they say, for sure.”
December 2009: For an episode on Martha called “The Christmas Cookie Show,” they make special Christmas brownies. “He wanted us to make green-colored brownies,” Martha joked. “How come green?”
December 2010: Snoop solicits Martha’s help for a “bachelor party” he’s throwing for Prince William.

November 2014: Snoop cites Martha as the inspiration behind a limited-edition candle he sold with his family.

She explains what that means during an episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers.
July 2016: The domestic diva and rapper compete together on an episode of ABC’s $100,000 Pyramid reboot. Martha tries to get Snoop to name fancy household items, and they do very well.
August 2016: It’s announced that the dynamic duo will be headlining a show for VH1, called Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party. Each week, they will host celebrity friends for a “half-baked evening of cocktails, cooking, conversation, and fun where nothing is off limits.”
