“You’re so much better than my body pillow,” the actress jokes as she catches the rapper
The NBC shows The Voice and Happy’s Place collaborated on a hilarious cold open for Tuesday’s episode of the reality singing competition, shared exclusively with PEOPLE, in which Snoop Dogg does a trust fall into Melissa Peterman’s arms.
The skit sees the rapper, 52, and his fellow coach Michael Bublé, 49, visiting the set of the upcoming comedy series starring Reba McEntire. There, they are greeted by McEntire, who is also a coach on the reality competition.
The country singer, 69, gives them a rundown of her sitcom – which premieres Friday, Oct. 18 –and explains that the show takes place in a bar owned by her character’s late father.
McEntire’s costar Peterman then enters the scene and ushers her out. “Reba, what are you doing here? You’re going to be late for The Voice,” she says before stopping in her tracks at the sight of Snoop and Bublé.
The actress begins to laugh nervously as she greets the two singers: “Hey, Mr. Dogg, Mr. Bublé. Hi Michael, may I call you milky bubbles?”
When the Canadian singer responds hesitantly, she explains, “It’s because your voice is just like a warm bath; it just washes over you.”

As Peterman continues to ramble, McEntire begins to make an exit with her other costars. However, the Young Sheldon alum moves to follow them and asks if she can tag along. She lists her various skills, at one point telling Snoop, “Snoop, I could carry you!”
The rapper takes her up on her offer and walks in her direction where he trust falls into her arms. “Oh my gosh, you’re so much better than my body pillow,” the actress jokes as she catches him.
Pleased with the interaction, Snoop tells Peterson, “Come with us!” to which McEntire says, “Oh no, oh lord. I regret this.” The group of four then head out of the fictional bar as the camera settles on a sign that reads “Cold beer.”
Season 26 of the singing reality show premiered on September 26 with coaches Snoop, Bublé, McEntire and Gwen Stefani. This week’s episode sees the group as they navigate the fifth night of blind auditions.

Back in May, Snoop and Bublé were newly added to the cast for this season.
Snoop spoke with PEOPLE in an exclusive interview in September about finding immediate chemistry on the reality show with each other and their fellow costars.
“It’s like a lost family reunion. It feels like we’ve been together our whole lives and we just reunited, and the camaraderie and the chemistry on set, it’s magic,” Snoop said of the group of coaches, before noting that he has grown especially close with Bublé.
“Who would’ve thought? But I’ve been known to have pairings with people who you wouldn’t expect me to pair with, and it just feels like me and Bublé are lost brothers,” he added.
The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC, and streams next-day on Peacock. Happy’s Place premieres Friday, Oct 18 at 8/7c on NBC, and streams next-day on Peacock.
