Snoop, Tupac on ‘SNL’: While an L.A. jury is deliberating on murder charges against Snoop Doggy Dogg, the rapper will fly to New York today to join fellow Death Row rapper Tupac Shakur on tonight’s “Saturday Night Live.” NBC said Friday that Snoop had received special dispensation from the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office to travel for the program. Among the scheduled songs the pair will perform is “2 of America’s Most Wanted.” Tom Arnold hosts the show, on which former cast-member-turned-movie-star Adam Sandler is also scheduled to appear.

O’Brien’s ‘Travel’ Plans: In a parody of other late-night shows, which often go on the road during the all-important ratings sweeps periods, NBC’s “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” will “travel through time” next week, starting with Tuesday’s broadcast, which will be set in ancient Greece. The program will then evoke the setting of the Civil War on Wednesday, move to the 1980s on Thursday and “broadcast from the future” on Friday. On Monday, meanwhile, O’Brien will travel for real when he files a live report from the New Hampshire primary on NBC’s “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.”

‘Party of Five’ Cast Meeting: The young cast members of Fox’s Golden Globe-winning series “Party of Five” will be at Universal Studios Hollywood today from 12:30 to 4 p.m. to meet studio guests, participate in a question-and-answer session and hand out signed cast photos. Cast members scheduled to appear include Scott Wolf, Matthew Fox, Neve Campbell, Lacey Chabert, Paula Devicq, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Scott Grimes.
