Ice Cube returns as a guest on Conan to promote Ride Along. He also talks about twerking, his swearing rules for his children, and the possibility of casting Conan in 23 Jump Street. He also discusses how much he is annoyed by Kevin Hart.

Kevin annoys me. All I have to think about how much he annoys me. I don’t break. I don’t crack. And you know, I’ve worked with a lot of different comedians, you know what I mean from Chris Tucker to Mike Epps and Tracy Morgan. And you know, I’m the ultimate straight man. I never crack because I think I owe it to the performer to let him do his thing.
