Snoop had literally just come out.
1:05
This was right after Deep Cover before his record came out.

Your resume is so vast, you probably have over 100 acting credits over the last 15 years.
4:51
What's the most bizarre role you think you've ever turned down? Not even a handful.
4:54
There's one or two things that I turned down, but I wouldn't ever say that because it would discredit the people that did it.

7:03
The woman of the year doesn't I'm over it.
7:06
That's all I'm going to say. What about Donald Trump?
7:09
Donald Trump is I was amused and inspired by some of the sort of way he was talking in a political form.
7:14
He was bringing it down to a more um sort of regular level in the beginning. Right.
7:22
But I I he concerns the [ __ ] out of me.
7:24
You know, he was up there talking about un- unfolding the loaf, you know, and his dick game and all that [ __ ] Yo, even even I would know that if you're running for a political office, the president has to have some sort of coof. Right.
