Mike Tyson Dances On SNL's "What Up With That" (VIDEO)

The premise is pretty simple. Invite some big names as guests, then deny them the chance to speak by breaking out into increasingly ridiculous R&B songs. But denying Mike Tyson? That takes some gall. Luckily Mike was a good sport and got in at the action by dancing up a storm at the end.

Hilarious! MIke Tyson is silly, he should do more funny stuff and I see Keenan Thompson is losing weight.

What's Up With That on SNL leaves me cracking up every time. From the crazy format of the show to Jason Sudeikis dancing to the continual disregard for the Lindsay Buckingham character, it's just a flat-out funny bit. It gets the whole cast involved, usually, and if you're not waiting around for social commentary or political satire, you can't help but crack a smile, if not laugh out loud. Keenan does a great job too.

The guy in the track suit was killer, I think that was the funniest part. Mike gives you the impression he's having a horrible time, but you know he was really laughing on the inside, especially when he jumps up and starts dancing at the end.

Why Lindsay Buckingham? Guess they are still mad about 'Tusk?'

I like how Tyson said that what Keenan's character was doing undermined his intelligence as a black man. All of Keenan's sketches seem to undermine the intelligence of black people, heck of all people. Keenan is so lame. All he knows how to do is portray bald stereotypes without any insightfulness and very little comedic value.

You know what I wish would happen when the health reform bill FINALLY!! comes up for a vote, that there could be a group in the Senate public seating area and have folks stand up, pump their arms up and down as those kids did in the SNL skit and sing, Oooooo-wee, 'wat's up 'wit dat. Have to find some humor with the health reform issue or one be could just crying all the time.

Tyson has a sadness on his face that's almost unbearable. But he smiled a little towards the end of this clip. Do u guys see how he jumped? He slight happiness seemed to hv caught up with him.

Mike Tyson has had a life filled with sadness and disappointment and loss...that he can put himself out there at all shows how strong the human spirit is. He was so funny in 'TheHangover' and I wish him all the best.

Next time they do this, they should have the real Lindsay Buckingham sitting there

Hopefully, per SNL tradition, they'll have that happen when they retire the sketch, a la Alex Trebek, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Walters, etc. Usually when a cast member who does an impression is leaving or a sketch featuring that celeb is retired, they get the real version to come on and help wrap it up.

I think he's the same guy that played Todd during AmyPoehler's 'AlaskanRap' with TheQuitter herself sitting right there. It was comedy gold, Jerry... comedy gold!
