Snoop even rechristened the Golden Globes "the Double G's."

Snoop Dogg brought his legendary swagger to the 2026 Golden Globes stage on Sunday night (Jan. 11), hitting the stage to present the first-ever best podcast award. And in the process, he even gave the 82-year-old awards show a new nickname.

“Need y’all to loosen up a little bit. This is the Double G’s — the Double G’s is the Golden Globes,” Snoop said after walking out to his 2004 three-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Drop It Like It’s Hot.” “And you’re with the D-O-Double-G, so make sure you enjoy yourself. Don’t be no stiff biff. Need you to move around a little bit.”

It seems that Snoop’s nickname made an impression: When One Battle After Another director Paul Thomas Anderson accepted the best screenplay award later in the night, he said, “I got a Double G. Amazing.”

Getting back to the award at hand, Snoop shouted out the Globes for adding a best podcast category, adding, “And shout-out to all the podcasters. You all are winners, but the real winner is…,” he said to a big laugh before announcing Good Hang With Amy Poehler as the category’s inaugural winner.

“This is exactly how I pictured it: Snoop giving me the award,” Poehler quipped when she hit the stage. “I don’t know about awards shows, but when they get it right, it makes sense. Thank you so much for this.”

After thanking everyone behind her show — which topped Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard, Call Her Daddy, The Mel Robbins Podcast, Smartless and NPR’s Up First to win best podcast — the Saturday Night Live alum also thanked her competition (with one cheeky exception). “I just want to say that I know I am new to this game. I have great respect for this form. I have great respect for all the people that I am nominated with. I’m big fans of all of you — except for NPR. Just a bunch of celebs phoning it in. So try harder.

“But this is an attempt to try to make a very rough and unkind world filled with a little bit more love and laughter, and laughing with people not at them, and we just have such a good time making it,” Poehler added earnestly. “Thank you so much for letting us make more.”
