Jimmy Kimmel introduced a new segment last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live named ‘Tyson Tries It’. This new sketch features ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson trying out things that he’s never tried before. In the first episode, Tyson’s trying out Spin Art which Mike described as ‘gooey’. While watching this video, it’s very important that you pay attention to how excruciatingly awkward Tyson is because that’s what makes this new segment great.
I’m not still sure if Mike Tyson’s a great actor or if he’s just entertaining to watch in every scenario. He’s clearly very nervous about what Jimmy Kimmel was about to make him try for the first time. I think what I love the most about this sketch is how you can see the weeks of back and forth with Tyson and Kimmel on Mike’s face…He’s remembering all of those emails from Jimmy and his people about ‘well, we’re going to have you come on and do some things you’ve never done before but we can’t tell you anything because we really want you to be surprised’.
Mike Tyson was nervous, and I think that’s probably the first time I’ve ever seen Iron Mike nervous for something. It’s also the first time I’ve seen a grown ass man make Spin Art. Hopefully, that artistic masterpiece is going to be sold at auction like Paul Newman’s 1968 Rolex Daytona which just sold for a record $17.8 million at auction yesterday, making it the most expensive wristwatch ever sold.
