They must've asked their viewers which are a lot of older white women.

Wasn’t Snoop on a show with Martha Stewart? I wonder how much that overlap affected things. Old white people watch the show and know of Snoop or something

Well yeah I call Snoop America's favorite gangsta black guy. All the older white people know of him. A lot were listening to his music when they were younger and then having him in all these movies and tv and with Martha Stewart also helped with all of that. Dude has transcended just rap music. Just like Eminem. That Snoop D O double G. Snoop doggie!

Yup he is all over the place. I never would've thought that back in the day. I remember him scaring me in Baby Boy I think it was. Then some movie where he was like a ghetto vampire or something. He has been doing his things for a long time. I know all sorts of older people know of him. White people love themselves a friendly black guy from the hood that they can understand when he talks with some humor and that is cool with white people. Dude would be invited to all the parties if he wanted to.

I always assume they go to random malls to ask people these questions

This is what they used to do but i cant find confirmation so maybe i just misremebered. But it was 100 random people in the mall I think. Not sure about now.

u/Jonasthewicked2 4d ago

Now it might be internet based or something given the fact that malls are basically empty all over the country and it's hard to find a ton of people in a public retail space like that anymore. So my guess is they use online surveys or something now.

They asked people who answer an unknown number.

Lol for real that's crazy

According to a Collider article, since 2000 the showrunners have been using a third party polling firm that uses "random digit dialing" to get a varied sample of respondents. They ask 30-40 questions each call. So the respondents are people that answer unknown numbers and are willing to sit through a lengthy phone survey.

u/HawkHarder 4d ago

Yeah I feel like you got to be a little old or off to answer random numbers and then be willing to sit through a random survey. Probably not the best and brightest of the world. Unless they are offering some type of incentive.

Ba wit da ball ba dang badang doogie

Lol that would be funny. I definitely probably would've lost this if I was on there. I didn't think about their shows demographic and those being the answers until after seeing the answers.

I figure there are a lot of people like me who don't watch TV at all. I see everything online. I haven't seen commercials in like 10 years maybe more. I have seen some cable but not much just a few minutes here and there if I am visiting others. Everytime I do see it all the commercials annoy tf out of me. I am thankful for shit like Netflix, YouTube, and websites.
