Mike Tyson Reflects on His 'Same Name' Episode (VIDEO)
For the new CBS show 'Same Name,' famous boxer Mike Tyson switched places with a registered nurse from Michigan, also named Mike Tyson. 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM on CBS) took a look at that particular episode and spoke with Tyson about his part on the show.Michigan Mike found himself with a new haircut, stepping into the ring to spar a bit, while Punch Out Mike found himself measuring people's height as a nurse, reading to children in Michigan Mike's family, and strapping on skates for a game of hockey. He seemed to take everything with a healthy sense of humor.
Tyson told 'The Early Show' his participation is a sign of how he has changed. "The old Mike Tyson wouldn't want to really be seen with these people because they remind me too much of myself," he said. "Human beings have to be taught to be human beings. You know, and some people learn to be human beings faster than others. Some people catch on late, I'm catching on late." Better late than never, Iron Mike.
