Shannon Sharpe is trying to laugh through the embarrassment of accidentally streaming a video of himself having sex, as he invited the likes of Snoop Dogg, Cam Newton and Kai Cenat onto his ‘Nightcap’ podcast with Chad Johnson to roast him.
On Wednesday, fans of the NFL Hall of Famer and sports broadcaster were stunned when footage – without anyone’s face visible – streamed live on his Instagram, in which a man and woman could be heard having sex.
Sharpe initially claimed that he was hacked but later admitted that that wasn’t the case, and that the male voice in the video was in fact him.
Now, he’s at least getting some good content out of the situation as he invited a host of people onto his podcast on Thursday night to discuss the ordeal.
Snoop Dogg was mostly supportive of ‘Uncle Shannon’ after joining the stream.

‘Everybody has sex, everybody indulges. It just so happens that yours was broadcast for the whole globe, baby,’ he cracked.
Sharpe then asked if the rapper if he believed he would live the ordeal down.
‘You gon’ have more women lining up to see you than anything,’ he answered.
Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton also joined the stream – and hilariously put Sharpe through a fake trial as he asked him questions about the situation.
At one point Newton asked him what he would like to be referred to during the fake litigation – adding that he would not be calling him ‘papa’ like the woman in the sex video was heard doing.
Streamer Kai Cenat also joined the podcast, starting his appearance off by sarcastically saying ‘well, well, well’ before calling the former tight end a ‘freak.’

Comedian Godfrey also mocked Sharpe by pretending to be him during his intimate moment and pointing his camera at the ground, like it was during the now-infamous live stream.
Sharpe is clearly trying to brush off the incident but admitted previously on his podcast that he cried in the initial aftermath.
‘I’m embarrassed for a number of reasons,’ he said. ‘People count on Shannon to be professional, even when I’m behind closed doors,’ Sharpe said.
‘I’m very disappointed in myself, not for the act. There are millions and billions of people of consenting age who participate in activities.’
He added on Thursday night, ‘My Grandpa used to say, ‘Boy, if you mess it up, you clean it up. that’s on me, I gotta own it, I gotta stand in it… it was an honest mistake.’
Nonetheless, Sharpe is still finding a way to cash in on his mistake.
He has been advertising for a male enhancement product called Ro Sparks, which says it ‘a long-lasting treatment in a new sublingual form to reach your bloodstream faster so you can be more spontaneous.’
Ultimately, Snoop Dogg doesn’t feel as though his friend has anything to feel bad about.
‘You not in a marriage, you have the right to do what you want, when you want, how you want. ‘So there was no reason to even apologize.’
