Overview
- Snoop Dogg and NBC said the Miami-based live special was shelved so he can focus on his 2026 Winter Olympics correspondent duties.
- Announced in May, the two-hour broadcast had been slated for Dec. 31 at 10:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock with musical performances and surprise guests.
- Snoop will return as a special correspondent for the Milan–Cortina Games, appearing alongside host Mike Tirico after his breakout Paris 2024 stint.
- NBC has not named a replacement for the New Year’s slot, and trade reports say mounting a new live special this late is viewed as unlikely, leaving ABC and CBS as the main live options.
- The canceled show was part of Snoop’s broader multi-year NBCUniversal deal, and the network has not linked the decision to outside controversies referenced by some outlets.
