Normally, ESPN host Michael Wilbon, Mike Tyson and Brad Pitt would never fit together in the same sentence. But trust me, you'll want to finish reading this blog post.
Mike Tyson made an appearance on ESPN's Pardon The Interruption Monday afternoon to promote his new broadway show "Mike Tyson - Undisputed Truth," directed by Spike Lee.
PTI host Tony Kornheiser asked Mike Tyson to give the audience a sample bit from his one-man show and then things took a, well, interesting direction.
"This is gonna be pretty stimulating for you Mike [Wilbon], you like to talk about venereal diseases and stuff...during my divorce with Robin Givens, you know, while we're on television calling each other scoundrels, I'm still going back to our house hittin'! it thou gh right. So one particular day before I go to my lawyer...I say maybe I can give this another try so I'm getting ready to go over there, knocking on the door. No one shows up so I'm heading back to my car to go to my lawyer and say this is really a dreadful woman now, right, but as I'm going to my car I see her car coming up. The reason why I know it's her car is because I bought it, right, so as she comes up I say 'there's a possibility I'm gonna get this before I go back to my lawyer and see how dreadful she is. So as she comes forward...you wouldn't believe who is in the car with her - it's Brad Pitt...I didn't even think about slugging him or killing him. All the fight was knocked out of me after seeing that. So that would be one of our intriguing stories if I decide to sell that one."
Live television interviews might not be good business for conservative television networks, but it makes for thoroughly entertaining, shock TV.
And for those who don't own an urban dictionary, hittin and hitting have different definitions. Who knew that of Tyson's 50-6-2 record, Brad Pitt delivered the biggest knock out.
Judging by Mike Tyson's recent admission of being a 'prostitute hunter' on NBC's Today Show, I can only imagine how interesting this show will be to watch, particularly for anyone not not named Robin Givens, Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie! . Would you buy a ticket to this show?
