Method Man, Snoop Dogg Drink to TBS Hosting Gigs

08.15.2017

Method Man and Snoop Dogg order cocktails and jump at the opportunity when the waitress offers them a bowl … of pretzels … in TBS' promo teasing the stars of two new shows coming this fall.

Method Man, along with Hailey Baldwin, will host the comedic music competition series Drop the Mic, based on the popular segment from The Late Late Show with James Corden, where celebrities will put their battle rapping skills to the test.

The series premieres Thursday, October 26 at 10 p.m. Corden, Ben Winston and Jensen Karp serve as executive producers, with Joanna Gallagher as co-executive producer.

Snoop Dogg Presents The Joker's Wild features the entertainment icon hosting an updated version of the classic game show that he used to watch with his grandmother when he was a child.

The reboot is set in his very own casino, complete with a larger-than-life slot machine, giant dice and playing cards. Streetwise questions and problem solving-not just book smarts-will rule the floor. The series are part of TBS' scheduled launch of 15 original series between now and 2018, following a brand rebuilt that led to a string of hits in 2016, including Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Angie Tribeca and Wrecked.

"Last year, we broke away from the confines of traditional comedy series and pushed ourselves in new direction with six fresh and distinctive series that were unlike anything else on television," said Brett Weitz, executive vice president of original programming for TBS, in a statement.

Also premiering Tuesday, October 24 is The Last O.G., where Tracy Morgan returns to television as an ex-con who is shocked to see just how much the world has changed when he's released from prison for good behavior after 15 years.

And Search Party will return for a season two on Sunday, November 19.

"After seeing year-over-year growth with our first five returning series of 2017, we're hopeful to score another success with The Last O.G., challenge ourselves with a pair of exciting competition series and catch up with our favorite New York millennials from Search Party before heading into a packed 2018," Weitz said.
