The story seemed to be over at that point, but, alas, an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is now set to complicate the Ice-T bagel saga further. In short, Ice is increasing his doughy Body Count by firing off a new volley in the war on breakfast by telling Fallon, and we quote, that “one bite [of bagel] felt like I ate a loaf of bread.”
“Why would I eat an unsweetened donut?” he adds, insisting, then, that the conversation move on to a different topic. Fallon, understanding that he must give the people what they want, pushes on, however, extracting more information as Ice-T’s Law & Order co-star, Mariska Hargitay, watches on. When asked about what he thought about trying coffee, another morning staple sampled in the dating app’s ad, Ice states, simply: “Black coffee: why would someone do that to themselves?” We learn that he prefers tea (and not because of his name) and that his wife hadn’t had a cheeseburger until she was 31, which people understand because she was a vegetarian. None of these facts properly deflect from the topic at hand, though.
Attempts to understand the bagel-free lifestyle also include Ice explaining, “Look, I’m from South Central. Can you imagine Snoop singing ‘rollin’ down the street, smokin’ Indo, eating some lox and bagels?’” This may be a shaky defense of his dietary choices, but the clip makes clear that Ice-T is done with all bagel-related queries and that this is the best we’re likely ever going to get.
“Listen: eat what you wanna eat,” he says. “I’ve eaten a lot of things.”
