Maryam Moshiri has left BBC News viewers in hysterics after making a Snoop Dogg joke live on air during the channel’s coverage of the Paris Olympics.
Following the online praise, Moshiri gave credit to her fellow BBC journalist Dominic Johnson who had written the joke into her script, adding the Snoop Dogg reference “had to be done”.
Local mayor Mathieu Hanotin announced earlier in the week that Snoop Dogg would be part of the Olympic torch relay.
Moshiri had been narrating footage of Snoop Dogg carrying the Olympic flame in the torch relay ahead of the opening ceremony later this evening when she made the gag.
