Today Martha hosts Renee Fleming and Snoop Dogg on The Martha Stewart Show. A clip of the Snoop Dogg segment has caused a little bit of a stir. You see, Martha asked Snoop to make brownies with her, and well, Snoop felt like Martha was missing the most "important ingredient" – ahem. I wonder what Snoop meant? He said sticks, seeds, and stems.... Hmmm.
As you can imagine, the gossip bloggers have loved this. New York magazine's blog quips, "We feel like we know Martha Stewart well enough to figure that when she planned to bake brownies during a segment featuring hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg, she knew what she was doing." While E! Online asks, "Didn't she learn any recipes in prison?"
While Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg baking brownies and talking about marijuana is pretty amusing, the reason this clip is so funny is all in the details. Snoop sports what appears to be a black, velvet blazer and leaves his sunglasses on the whole time, while Martha wears a red and white fair isle sweater with a ski motif -- the contrast between the two is classic. Plus, Martha actually raps, which is what got the most chuckles out of me. (We hear she actually likes hip-hop.) Oh yeah, lest we forget, at the end they decorate the brownies with green (!) sprinkles.
This wasn't Snoop's first visit to the show; last November they made mashed potatoes together. In fact, a representative from Martha Stewart says that, "She and Snoop are really good friends!"
After the jump, some choice selections from Martha's exchange with Snoop.
Snoop: You're lucky I used to work at McDonald's. I know how to do this.
Martha: I bet you didn't have to do any baking at McDonald's.
Snoop: Yeah, I did.
Martha: You did? What'd you bake?
Snoop: Egg McMuffins.
Martha: Oooooooh.
Snoop: Which one is vanilla?
Martha: Over there (she points).
Snoop: Vanilla, it's bourbon?
Snoop: Why do they call it vanilla if it's bourbon?
Martha: Vanilla doesn't mean white. Vanilla means vanilla-it's the flavor.
Snoop: Trying to make some brownies, but we're missing the most important part of the brownies.
Martha: Which is, which is, which is...
Snoop: No sticks no seeds no stems.
Martha: You want green brownies.
Snoop: Yes.
Martha: He wants green brownies. Brownish green brownies.
Snoop: The greener the better!
But then, Martha sneaks in a comment that shocked me the most. "I thought that was all passé," she says, as if she is more shocked to hear that anyone still made pot brownies than that Snoop would suggest doing so in the first place. Passé -- hah!
Most stunning of all, as Snoop continues to rap at Martha's prompting, he says, "This will taste good, make me a kiss." I'm pretty sure, that was Snoop Dogg asking Martha Stewart for a KISS! Could Snoop be hot for Martha? She did look quite fetching in that sweater... Think I'm crazy? Watch the mashed potato clip, they've definitely got some chemistry.
