The Paris Olympics are captivating audiences; a staggering 34 million viewers tuned in for the first five days of the Paris Olympics, a 79% increase over Tokyo. Additionally, Snoop Dogg’s electric commentary has undoubtedly contributed to these impressive ratings.

This surge is driven by several factors, including:

  • Favorable Time Zone: Paris is just 6 hours ahead of Eastern Time, making live viewing much easier for U.S. audiences.
  • No More Pandemic Restrictions: Athletes compete with cheering crowds back in the stands, creating a more vibrant atmosphere.
  • The Rise of Streaming: Peacock, NBC’s streaming platform, has surpassed all previous Olympic streaming viewership combined.
  • Snoop Dogg’s Popularity: The rapper’s infectious enthusiasm and genuine connection with athletes are resonating with viewers, particularly younger demographics.
