NBC Shelves Snoop Dogg New Year’s Eve Special to Prioritize 2026 Olympics Role

No replacement is set, making a late live substitute unlikely.

Overview

  • The two-hour broadcast had been slated to air live from Miami on Dec. 31 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and Peacock.
  • Produced by Den of Thieves and Death Row Pictures, the special was part of Snoop Dogg’s multi-year deal with NBCUniversal.
  • Snoop will return as a special correspondent for the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, appearing alongside host Mike Tirico.
  • NBC first promoted the New Year’s show at its May upfront, but the network has now pulled it to focus resources on the Games.
  • With NBC stepping back, this year’s live national countdowns are expected to be ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and CBS’ Nashville’s Big Bash.
