A petition has started to get a famous rapper to narrate a well-known television show.
The hope for the petition is for Snoop Dogg to narrate a whole season of Planet Earth, a British television series on BBC.
The petition was started by Kelly Ooton who lives in Lincoln, Nebraska and now has more than 58,500 supporters.
It started out slow to get supporters of this petition but as soon as the Snoop D.O. Double G rapper saw the petition himself it automatically blew up.
On January 28th Snoop Dogg tweeted out to his 13.2 million followers asking who started the petition and if people wanted to see it happen and the rest is what they call history.

It’s not exactly clear if the petition supporters want Snoop Dogg to narrate a brand new season or if they want him to voice an old season that has already been aired.
Narrating a planet earth show isn’t completely bizarre as he started to narrate “Plizzanet earth” on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2014. Since fans loved it to so much they have continued on.
The petition still needs more than 16,000 signatures to reach the goal of 75,000 supporters.
