Mike Tyson was a guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live about a month ago. The show with Marlon Wayans and Ali Landry is being re-run this evening (according to TV Guide). Tyson’s, the convicted rapist, behavior towards Ms. Landry was peculiar at best. See for yourself.

Hmmm…well, too bad the ABC affiliate in DC decided not to pick up the show. I was so excited for it. Instead, we get MASH reruns or something. What crap.

The Sports Guy covered his meeting MT to interview him for this show (SG is one of the writers). Bizarre …

Given Tyson’s history I don’t even want to imagine what he did or how he acted in a way that would be considered peculiar.:rolleyes:

I watched the rerun last night. Kimmel and Tyson were both taking hits off of helium baloons and talking. Cheap gag but it was pretty darn funny to hear Tysons voice get even higher than it already is.
