Jimmy Kimmel Declares Snoop Dogg's Birthday 'Half-4/20' Celebration: Introduces DoggFather's Day

In honor of Snoop Dogg’s birthday and his “significant contributions to the popularization of marijuana,” Jimmy Kimmel declared the rapper's Oct. 20 birthday to be “DoggFather’s Day," to be celebrated as a “new high holiday.”

Kimmel and his sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez proceeded to present Snoop with a mock proclamation made from an oversized box of rolling papers on Thursday's "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

Kimmel noted that “Mr. Dogg’s birthday falls on the exact midpoint to 4/20—a coincidence that is totally tripping me out right now.”

Kimmel explained that half-birthdays are a big thing in his family.

"We sing Halfy Birthday, we have half a cake”—and on 4/20 last year, “I was sitting there thinking, ‘I wonder what the half-birthday of 4/20 is.'”

Then He Declared A New Holiday

"Why shouldn’t this be a holiday? Mr. Dogg’s birthday falls on the exact midpoint to 4/20."

Then Kimmel read the proclamation: “Whereas, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., known worldwide as Snoop Doggy Dogg, has made significant contributions to the popularization of marijuana—AKA weed, pot, ganja, herb, bud, trees, cheeba, kush, chronic, reefer, dank, sticky icky icky and jolly green giggle sticks."

"Whereas, Mr. Dogg’s birthday miraculously falls on the exact midway point to 4/20—a coincidence that is totally tripping me out right now,” Kimmel added.

The late-night host then encouraged the audience to bow their heads and join him in a chant: “Bow-Wow-Wow Yippie-Yo-Yippie-Yay-men.” He presented Snoop with what he said was the new “Presidential Medal of Weedom.”
