“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.
Snoop’s role in a potential movie would likely be similar to Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, who serves as an anchorman for a fictional local San Diego television station.
Snoop Dogg has over 50 acting credits to his name, with his most recent in the 2023 House Party reboot alongside Tosin Cole, Jacob Latimore, Karen Obilom, D.C. Young Fly and Kid Cudi.
