VH1's newest television show featuring lifestyle queen, Martha Stewart, and "King Of Cush", Snoop Dogg, premiered last Monday. "Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner' is a hybrid of a cooking show, talk show, game show, and music show. Many are calling this newest show "the show no one thought we needed".
Snoop Dogg perfectly sums up the creation of "Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner" in saying, "I'm not high, but whoever gave us this show must have been". Thankfully, VH1 took a risk and here we are watching this ridiculous but awesomely weird show.
