London, Nov 28 (IANS) Hip-hop star Snoop Dogg wants to take over Oprah Winfrey's talk show when she steps down.

The American rapper-actor says he will cater to the interests of all viewers by bringing his wife along to solve women's problems on the show, reports contactmusic.com.

'I'm trying to proposition the networks right now. If you're wanting to hire a nice black exciting young male who wants to turn the TV world right up - get at me. I heard Oprah Winfrey is leaving and there isn't nobody to do what Oprah did but ahem - hello! Hello! And I can bring my wife on so we can have the women and the men discussing things,' he said.

Early this month, Winfrey had announced that she will be quitting her daily show in 2011 - after a successful run of 25 years.
