Late-night talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel becomes the punchline in “Dre’s Anatomy” sketch featuring hip-hop icons
Jimmy Kimmel found himself at the centre of a hilarious surgical spoof on Tuesday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” with none other than Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, and Eminem joining in on the fun.
In the “Dre’s Anatomy” sketch, Dr. Dre, the acclaimed producer and hip-hop icon, leads the charge as the team attempts to diagnose and treat Kimmel’s delicate medical issue. With Kimmel lying in the ER, Dre and his crew spare no comedic moment as they delve into the examination.
As Dre struggles to identify the problem, Snoop Dogg, playing the role of “Dr. Jackson,” steps in with an array of unconventional instruments. Snoop’s signature smoke adds to the chaos, but it’s Eminem’s belated entrance with a peculiar green concoction that steals the show.
Despite lacking an M.D. title, Dr Dre proves he’s the star of the operating room, a sentiment echoed earlier in the day when he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Surrounded by industry peers like Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Eminem, and Beats co-founder Jimmy Iovine, Dre expressed gratitude for his journey from Compton to Hollywood recognition.
Reflecting on his career, Dre shared, “I’ve been fortunate enough to make a living doing exactly what I love to do. How about that? Isn’t that the dream?” His contributions to hip-hop, both as an artist and a mentor, were celebrated by his peers and solidified his status as a music icon.
Dr. Dre’s accolades extend beyond the operating table and into the annals of music history. As a member of N.W.A., he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and his impact on rap production earned him the title of the greatest rap producer of all time by Billboard.
The “Dre’s Anatomy” sketch not only provided late-night entertainment but also showcased Dre’s enduring influence and enduring sense of humour in the entertainment industry.
