The only way to make it more dramatic was to have [Snoop Dogg](http://time.com/4107828/leafs-by-snoop-dogg-marijuana-weed-cannabis/?iid=sr-link1) narrate it, which is exactly what happened on [_Jimmy Kimmel Live!_](http://time.com/4782141/snoop-dogg-jimmy-kimmel-donation/?iid=sr-link4) on Monday in _Plizzanet Earth with Snoop Dogg_. “Snakes are straight a-holes,” says [Snoop](http://time.com/4265297/snoop-dogg-instagram-romanian-village-bogata/?iid=sr-link7). “You can tell the way they’re looking at him.” When the snakes pounce, Snoop is clearly taken aback as the surprise attack interrupts his narration. “He’s saying you watch… Oh, get out of there man! Go! Oh, they coming from everywhere, this is crazy.” As the nail-biting race to safety continues, and the baby lizard scrambles up the rocks, leaving the snakes stranded and hungry below, Snoop makes an astute assessment of the snakes’ skill set. “Snakes can’t do all that cause they ain’t got hands and they ain’t got feet,” he notes. While Snoop is a natural at nature documentary narration, it’s safe to bet that Sir Attenborough’s job is safe for a little while longer, even though [a petition](http://time.com/4199648/snoop-dogg-planet-earth-petition/?iid=sr-link6) to have Snoop to narrate an entire series of _Planet Earth_ earned over 65,000 signatures last year. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4816275/snoop-planet-earth-on-kimmel/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4816275/snoop-planet-earth-on-kimmel/"},"headline":"Watch Snoop Dogg Narrate a Planet Earth Iguana Chase as Only He Can","datePublished":"2017-06-13T17:23:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:27.265Z","description":"Don't worry, Sir David Attenborough isn't out of a job quite yet","url":"https://time.com/4816275/snoop-planet-earth-on-kimmel/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Snoop Dogg","jimmy kimmel live","Late Night Television","Late Night Comedy"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfe0db81582771ca0/6988d1738fd2eefe2d35783a/snoop.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfe0db81582771ca0/6988d1738fd2eefe2d35783a/snoop.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Snoop","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4816275/snoop-planet-earth-on-kimmel/","name":"Watch Snoop Dogg Narrate a Planet Earth Iguana Chase as Only He Can"}}]}] ```
