Snoop Dogg Turning His 'GGN' Series Into 'Anchorman'-Inspired Movie

Snoop Dogg has revealed he’s planning to turn his GGN series into a movie similar to the Anchorman films.

During a recent conversation with actor Slink Johnson, the Long Beach rap legend talked about his plans for the future of the popular online show.

“GGN has 400 or something episodes that I shot since day one. It’s time for GNN the movie,” he said.

He also claimed that the YouTube series helped pave the way for podcasts, saying: “I’m in a lane that has called itself podcasts. When I created GGN, there was no things called podcasts.

“So now it looks like I’m imitating or I’m trying to get in a lane of others, in which I actually helped create this lane, but I’m not the credit guy.

“So I’m just gon’ flip it into a movie on some Anchorman shit, like the comedy movie with me playing Nemo Hoes,” he added, referencing the moniker he adopts for the show.

Episodes of GGN — also known as Double G News Network — have been airing on Snoop Dogg’s YouTube channel since 2011, featuring interviews with everyone from Nipsey Hussle and Pharrell to Seth Rogen to Stephen A. Smith.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy came out in 2004 starring the likes of Will Ferrell, Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, David Koechner and Fred Willard, with a sequel, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, released in 2013.
