Snoop Dogg wants to step into Oprah Winfrey's shoes.
The 'Signs' rapper claims he is the ideal candidate to take over from the legendary talk show host when she stops making her self-titled programme in 2010.
He said: "I'm trying to proposition the networks right now. If you're wanting a nice, black, exciting young male who wants to turn the TV world right up - get at me.
"I heard Oprah Winfrey is leaving and there's nobody who can do what Oprah did but, ahem - hello! Hello!"
Snoop would also make his talk show a family affair.
He added: "I can bring my wife on so we can have the women and the men on there discussing things."
Snoop's previous TV experience started in 2002 with his MTV sketch show 'Doggy Fizzle Televizzle', and also includes his own reality show 'Snoop Dogg's Fatherhood' and appearances in movies including 'Old School' and 'Starsky and Hutch'.
He has also previously directed two pornographic movies 'Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle' and 'Snoop Dogg's Hustlaz: Diary of a Pimp'.
