Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson is joining a panel of celebrities (The Office star Jenna Fischer, black-ish actor Deon Cole, and Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughter Rumer Willis) on Season 5 of the TV game show To Tell the Truth hosted by black-ish star Anthony Anderson.
On the show, Tyson wears a white crochet skullcap also known as a nworn by Muslim men.
It’s been reported that while in jail (in 1992, Tyson was convicted of rape and sentenced to six years in prison, although he was released on parole after three years), Tyson converted to Islam.
Most recently, Tyson submerged himself in a cage to knock out a shark to kick off this summer’s Shark Week on Discovery Channel. See link on the left.
To Tell the Truth airs Thursdays at 10 pm on ABC, right after Ryan Reynold’s family game show Don’t at 9 pm and Steph Curry’s miniature golf obstacle course game show Holey Moley: The Sequel at 8 pm.
