Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé are the newest coaches on NBC’s ‘The Voice’
LOS ANGELES — Two new faces will join the judges on “The Voice” for Season 26: Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé.
They’ll join Reba McEntire and a returning Gwen Stefani in the swivel chairs. It will be McEntire’s third season and, after her brief hiatus, Stefani’s eighth. John Legend, Dan + Shay and Chance the Rapper will all be leaving the show.
Snoop Dogg undoubtedly will bring his chill vibes to the red chairs, mentoring new talent with his 30 years of music industry experience and eight platinum albums. The Long Beach rapper was discovered by Dr. Dre, who brought him to Death Row Records before Snoop released his debut album, “Doggystyle,” in 1993.
In the past few years, Snoop has kept busy with other projects. His friendship with domestic goddess Martha Stewart spawned the show “Martha &Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party,” and he’ll join NBC to host the Olympic Games in Paris this summer following the success of his Olympics review show with comedian Kevin Hart.
Snoop’s business ventures don’t end there, however. The cannabis fan was a part of a high-profile campaign for smokeless fire pits last year after announcing that he was “giving up smoke.” His store Tha Dogg House, a collaboration with Funko Pop, closed its doors in Inglewood last year, but fans can still find his apparel line Snoopy’s ClothING in the same complex near SoFi Stadium.
The gangsta rap legend has released 21 studio albums and received 20 Grammy nominations. He graced TV screens in the well-received, homegrown Super Bowl LVI halftime show at SoFi Stadium with Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, and Mary J. Blige. The confident Bublé has already described himself as a “Future Winner of @NBCTheVoice” in his Instagram bio. The “Home” singer has won five Grammys, with 12 nominations. Bublé, who started singing in nightclubs at just 16, has had a storied career of making fans swoon to his rendition of “Silent Night.”
The Christmas savant also is known for his chart-topping holiday albums and televised holiday specials, including 2021’s “Christmas in the City.”
