You know we've known each other a long time.
You've been on this show maybe 20 times.
We just got a thing.
We got a thing baby.
We got a thing.
And I started to notice that in your music,
in your songs, you mention, you give a lot of shout-outs,
Stallone is in there, Johnny Cash,
Michael Jordan, a lot of icons,
when am I getting into one of your songs?
(audience laughing)
When are we going to be listening to Ice-T,
you know, cut and hear Conan O'Brien?
When are you going to hear that?
Soon.
(audience laughing)
Soon?
Soon.
That was not convincing.
Sooner than you think.
If you go to my website right now, icet.com,
your picture's on there.
My picture's on your website?
A big picture of you.
Just because you're appearing on this show?
Yeah.
But it's a picture of you still.
Yeah.
I mean, it probably, people click and there's Conan.
What happens?
Get this camera in real close.
When people go to the Ice-T website and they see this.
(audience cheering)
That's not what people expect to see,
when they go to the Ice-T website.
People love you Conan you know what I'm saying.
Yeah I appreciate it.
(audience cheering)
But what about getting me into the song?
I'm going to work on that.
Is it that not a lot rhymes with Conan,
is that the problem?
(audience laughing)
Yeah it is hard to rhyme.
Yeah.
Moaning.
Keeps the ladies moaning.
(audience laughing)
Here we go, it took me 30 seconds to come up with it.
Six in the morning, Conan at my door.
Yeah.
That was good.
Delivering the paper.
(audience laughing)
Here's your paper, Mr. T.
(audience laughing)
Okay here's something, we're on the subject of rap music,
I got to ask you, there's this rumor that will not die
and actually a lot of people think it's true.
Which is, cause it's been written about
and written about which is that you are going to produce,
a rap record for David Hasselhoff.
(Ice-T laughing)
So, let's clear this up right now.
This is been on the web, this is been in the newspapers.
People have talked about this as if it's a fact.
It's a 2 year old story.
What happened was, just to set the record straight,
a British interviewer was talking to me.
He said, "Ice-T, you so cool,
you could probably make anybody rap."
And I'm like, "for enough money."
He said, "could you make David Hasselhoff rap?"
And I said, "for $5 million,
I'll have him rapping like Jay-Z."
Right.
(audience laughing)
So, you know,
it was just a joke, you know what I'm saying?
They said, "What would his name be?"
I'm like, "Hassle the Hoff, I don't know", you know.
Right.
So, I mean the story, keep people keep saying,
"You working with David Hasselhoff?"
And I'm like,
"No, but the offer still stands for $5 million,
I will have him rapping."
So if Hasselhoff calls you tomorrow,
and in his goofy way says, "Hey, let's get together,
I got 5 million in cash right now."
You'd get into a studio with him and have him rapping?
If Bin Laden called me and said he had $5 million,
I'll have him rapping and capture him at the same time.
(everybody laughing)
That's a good plan actually.
Get him to rap.
(audience clapping)
Get him into the studio.
Get him to rap for you some kind of song
and say, "that was really great Osama,
now you're coming with me.
You're coming with me.
No I mean, anybody that wants to learn how to rap man,
the deal is open, 5 million cash in a bag,
in a couple of suitcases and I'll have you break dancing,
you will be hip hopped out.
Right, alright.
I think you're gonna get some calls.
I don't have that kind of scratch, but someone will.
What about, okay what about this?
Here's what I'm curious about.
Is there a kind of music that you enjoy,
that your fans would find surprising?
Do you know what I mean?
Do you ever find yourself in an elevator
and a Streisand song or an Air Supply tune comes on
and you're humming along to it
and it would surprise your fans.
Is there a music that you like?
Hell no, not Streisand, I don't know.
No.
(audience laughing)
She had the phone up and was dialing you just now,
to get a rap deal and she just hung up,
she had her 5 million ready and you just blew it.
Now, is there a song out there that you liked?
I don't know, like, I mean,
I think the most pop record I used to really like,
was a song by the New Radicals called
♪ don't give up you got the music in you ♪
It was a older record.
Oh, yeah
I used to sing that all the time, remember that record?
(audience cheering)
I had that CD and I bumped it all the way to Vegas
and I was just feeling it and these are like two white boys,
in a mall singing or something.
(Conan and audience laughing)
Did you find yourself moving differently,
as you listened to it?
Nah I just dug it.
♪ Don't give up on ♪
You know,
♪ I like music ♪
Yeah.
♪ You only get what you give ♪
Right.
I used to rock that.
Right, what if you had been in an intersection,
like some fans were right there watching you
while you were high castanets, no?
I would made it look hip, you know what I'm saying?
They would've been like, okay, that's the new thing.
All right well then make, then make this look hip.
It was recently reported,
that you went to a Tupperware party.
(audience laughing)
I did.
You did, this isn't a, you could have said,
"oh, that's a rumor Hasselhoff blah blah"
Nah I'ma keep it real, I'ma keep it real.
We get a lot of invitations on law and order,
so they invited us.
But they said that Denzel Washington was hosting it
or co-hosting it.
And I had done a movie with Denzel before called Ricochet,
I thought it would be a chance to bump into Denzel.
You heard that Denzel Washington was gonna co-host,
a Tupperware party?
(audience laughing)
It wasn't a Tupperware party.
It was like a party in New York at a club,
Tupperware was given, but Tupperware.
(Conan and audience laughing)
It wasn't like a Tupperware party at your mom's house.
(laughing)
But Tupperware is OG.
Sure, all right.
Tupperware is OG.
It's OG.
It's OG Tupperware.
Even if you got a bowl and it ain't Tupperware
and the top clips down, you call it Tupperware.
Tupperware been around since back in the day,
you know like Dixie cups.
(audience laughing)
Tupperware, you can't beat Tupperware.
Even if they selling something,
(Conan laughing)
If they selling something on the infomercial,
it's something else, they like,
"it's as good as Tupperware.", Tupperware is the joint,
everybody know about Tupperware.
(Conan and audience laughing)
This is, you are passionate.
You know, you have been here, as I said,
you've been here many times.
I've never heard you this passionate about anything
as Tupperware.
You know why?
Cause it seals in the freshness, right?
(Conan and audience laughing)
It's Tupperware man, you know what it is.
You are getting a call from Tupperware,
you are going to get a call from them.
They need to send me some money for all this,
I'm doing right now.
(audience laughing)
A couple of million people right now,
this is a whole new everything.
Go buy Tupperware right now, its OG, it's real hood.
(audience laughing)
Well, you heard it there.
And you cut me in for a piece of that too?
Okay yeah, Tupperware.
