Mike Tyson Mysteries

Mike Tyson is taking the fight from the boxing ring to the streets … by solving mysteries! Aided by the Mike Tyson Mystery Team — the Ghost of the Marquess of Queensberry, Mike’s adopted Korean daughter and a pigeon who was once a man — Mike Tyson will answer any plea sent to him.

Mike Tyson Mysteries (2014-2020) is an American adult animated comedy created by Lee Stimmel, Hugh Davidson and Mike Tyson for Adult Swim. Mike Tyson voices a fictionalized version of himself, a former boxer who turns to solving mysteries for anyone who sends in a plea. He is joined by a ghost of the Marquess of Queensberry (Jim Rash), his adopted Korean daughter Yung Hee Tyson (Rachel Ramras) and a pigeon who was once a man (Norm Macdonald). The engine of each short episode is a bizarre client request that the team investigates with mock-serious confidence, escalating into absurd detours and deadpan reversals. The show runs four seasons and seventy episodes of roughly eleven minutes each, built as a case-of-the-week format rather than one continuing arc. Its tone is irreverent, sardonic and self-aware, with celebrity cameos and surreal gags carrying the humor. Fans of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! will find the same appetite for absurdist adult animation and playful mystery parody.

Audience reception is acclaimed overall, with the first season rated well while later seasons drew much weaker audience ratings.
