Simone Biles will be joining Snoop Dogg on ‘The Voice’ as a mentor on his team for the Monday, Nov.
25 episode. This is the first time that Biles has joined a reality TV competition.
While Simone Biles is known for her extreme athleticism, the Olympian might have to work a different muscle for her new gig.
“We were able to riff off each other and give the artists the best insight going into the next round,” Biles told The Associated Press. “It was pretty easy, simple. We’re both very mellow. But if we need to bring that energy up, then we can. For us, it was about instilling confidence going into the next week.”
Snoop Dogg has a lot of confidence in Biles’ ability to help his team despite not being a musician. “She’s a performer. I’m a performer. We’ve performed under extreme conditions. We always do our best. But sometimes things happen behind closed doors that you don’t know about,” Snoop Dogg said. “So, we’re able to speak to those things and give them real reassurance.”
Both Biles and Snoop were at the Olympics this year with the gymnast earning gold in the team final, women’s all-around, and vault, along with a silver medal in the women’s floor event. Snoop worked as a correspondent for NBC.
Along with Snoop, this season of The Voice features Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, and Michael Bublé as celebrity judges.
