Snoop Dogg thanking himself on the Walk of Fame

Receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018, this laid-back West Coast rap institution closed his speech by thanking the one person nobody else had thought to thank: himself.

The full story

At his 2018 Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, Snoop Dogg ended his speech by thanking himself 'for believing in me... for doing all this hard work.' By Paris 2024 — torchbearer, correspondent, national treasure — his wholesome late-career arc was complete.

The clues we handed out

— 'I want to thank me for believing in me' — the speech instantly became a motivational poster.

— His decades-long best friendship with a certain domestic-perfection queen began on a cooking show.

— At the Paris 2024 Olympics he carried the torch and became NBC's most beloved correspondent.

— He's from Long Beach, and his name comes from a Peanuts character.

— Initials: S.D.
