Olympic spectators can’t get enough of Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg live on television, as NBC playfully played one of the rapper’s all-time hits during its coverage of the freestyle dressage Grand Prix in Paris.
Stewart and Snoop Dogg, who share a 31-year age gap, were in the network’s Olympic studio across from the Eiffel Tower on Sunday night when producers showed off Polish rider Sandra Sysojeva with her horse… “Gin & Juice.”
And just as a clip of Sysojeva’s performance begins to play, Snoop Dogg’s 1994 classic ‘Gin and Juice’ plays at the same time, and to the delight of the crowd, the horse jumps around to the song as Snoop Dogg modifies some of the lyrics on the spot.
“Get on with it… from the back to the front… With all the drama in Paris… It’s kinda hard to be the HORSE…” the rapper shouted.
Stewart later informed his fellow NBC correspondent that it is “much harder” for horses to move sideways on four legs than on two.

Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart have attended several dressage events at the Olympics.
“Are you sure?” Snoop Dogg replied before demonstrating on television.
The rapper, whose full name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., later revealed that dressage is his new favorite sport to watch in person and from his couch.
“I didn’t realize that I really love the chemistry between the driver and the horse,” Snoop Dogg told NBC’s Mike Tirico.
“I call them drivers because they are the ones who drive (the horses). I felt very good sitting in the audience, watching the dressage and seeing how everything developed.”
Stewart chimed in saying that Snoop Dogg, his close friend and business partner, “thought it was very exciting.”
The rapper even fed some horses despite his fear of riding them, as previously revealed on TV.
Snoop Dogg has been working as a correspondent for NBC during the two-week Paris Games.
“I did it,” Snoop Dogg confirmed.
Stewart added: “We saw about four different riders yesterday and it was extraordinary.”
“And I fed the horses,” Snoop Dogg said. “I’m actually really scared of horses, so doing that makes me feel like I’m going somewhere…”
On Saturday, Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart had fans laughing out loud when they dressed up in full equestrian outfits for the Grand Prix Special Team Dressage competition at the Château de Versailles.
