Snoop's new show is a collection of humorous skits, music performances and man-on-the-street bits featuring Snoop. It airs weekly Monday 10.30p.m on MTV

In the first episode, skits included Snoop:
1. Working undercover at an Arby's drive-through, pouring one unsuspecting customer gin-and-juice
2. Wearing gold chains and a powder blue velour jogging suit, bragging about getting kicked off the Muppets Christmas special before it even aired. 
3. Rapping a few nursery rhymes -- "Old MacDonald" became "Old Mack Daddy," and "This Old Man" became "This Old Pimp."
4. Going into a real school and plays the character Mr. Dizzle, a teacher who wears a gray suit and tie, bulky wire-rim glasses and an Afro. First lesson. "Do drugs."... "Do drugs!" the kids in the classroom, who looked about 8 years old, obediently recited.

Story time. Mr. Dizzle reads a classic in the pimp noir genre, "Trick Baby" by Iceberg Slim, one installment of a series of novels published by former Chicago pimp Robert Beck in the 1970s. Mr. Dizzle reads aloud the part of the novel where the pimp threatens to put a woman's "fast little butt into a sling."

"What do you think happens next?" Dr. Dizzle quizzes the students.
"He's going to kill her?" a student offers.
The class roars with laughter...

The pilot episode drew 1.7 million viewers, respectable for MTV. MTV execs say they hope "Televizzle" can be made into a regular series, which would cement Snoop's journey on the now well-worn path from gangsta to screen star. 

"Snoop is a giant star for our audience," said Michele Dix, MTV's vice president for music and talent programming. "Everything he does reverberates throughout pop culture, and he's a likable character on camera."

Dix points to the scene in which Snoop, playing the fur-clad Cap'n Pimp, sucks down a 40-ounce malt liquor, then rushes to the aid of a woman being robbed. Using his special pimp powers, Snoop's hand extends à la Inspector Gadget, and he cold-slaps the male assailant.

"Snoop is probably the only artist who could bring that to our channel," Dix said. "It has an edge, but it won't offend."

"He's an artist who has always worked for our channel."

2.'Chuuuch'?

You may be wondering after the release of the single From Tha Chuuuch To Da Palace, what does 'chuuuch' really mean?

Snoop said the term "chuuuch" was presented to him by his colleague and renowned pimp, the Archbishop Don Magic Juan. "It's simply stating that we keep God in everything we do, and we try to be more positive than negative,". "By us saying chuuuch, it's a positive greeting. And it just brings joy to our heart and soul."

Snoop has been so taken by the term, that he uses it as the name of his recording studio. "You got to have our spirit right here first of all when you making these records," Snoop said. "You got to have your mind on the spirit on right so people can feel what you saying."

"Paid Tha Cost To Be Da Bo$$" to be released in Australia Friday 29th Nov

Despite the day's marijuana-centered theme, Snoop left the stage without inhaling.

Backstage, Snoop said that it was a "personal invite" from B-Real that brought him to the fifth Cypress Hill Smoke Out, held for the first time at the Los Angeles Coliseum. "Me and him go way back," Snoop explained. "He played on my new record, he played the congas on it. We family like that. This is an annual event for him. I'm local. I'm in the 'hood. So it's a good thing, I appreciate [the invitation]."

Snoop Dogg arrived via armored vehicle well after 1:00 a.m. With Warren G, a skull-masked homey, security guards and several other hangers-on all dressed in some shade of blue, Snoop hit the stage with "Murder Was the Case," then dipped liberally into his Death Row, No Limit and Doggy Style Records catalog. The estimated 20,000-strong audience rapped along to nearly every word until the bong came out. Then Snoop, wearing a wide smile, left the stage.
