Just days after drawing the attention of Bruno Mars, the “Kalokalike” segment of “It’s Showtime” earned a seeming approval from Snoop Dogg himself on a contestant’s impersonation of the American rapper.
During the noontime show’s Oct. 5 episode, Carlos Sintyoco dressed up as Snoop Dog and performed the song “The Next Episode.”
When he was being interviewed by the show host, Sintyoco quipped that his mother was very fond of cartoon character Snoopy when she was pregnant with him, which was the reason why he is “cute.”
Sintyoco also drew laughs from the hosts and the audience when he was asked to sing another Snoop Dogg song but was unable to do so.
