Premise

Mike Tyson Mysteries Mike Tyson Mysteries Coming This Fall Mike Tyson Mysteries

The show follows Mike Tyson, the ghost of the Marquess of Queensberry, Tyson's adopted daughter, and a pigeon as they solve mysteries. The style of the show borrows heavily from 1970s cartoons, most notably Hanna-Barbera productions such as Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? and The Funky Phantom. However, it also contains adult language and concepts, in the manner of Family Guy, or South Park. While each episode involves a mystery as a framing device, often these are ignored altogether as the plot takes another direction, and episodes sometimes end on cliffhangers which are never resolved.

Main characters

Mike Tyson Mysteries Mike Tyson Mysteries Wikipedia

Mike Tyson (voiced by himself) – The title character of the series, Mike Tyson is a retired boxer who now solves mysteries. He is portrayed as being wildly out of touch with reality, confusing a chess Grandmaster with the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, or Elon Musk with Elton John, thinking a binary code spells out 'Oooh', and eating junk food without realizing he's on a diet. He has a reputation for doing unusual things like taking an oatmeal bath with cooked oatmeal, owning a pet grizzly bear, and using mosquitoes to help him sleep, along with pronouncing the names of many other characters incorrectly, even by calling his own daughter Yang instead of Yung in Episode 2.

Pigeon (voiced by Norm Macdonald) – An alcoholic, sexually depraved, sarcastic pigeon. He claims to be a former human who was turned into a pigeon by his ex-wife as a curse for cheating on her. His real name is revealed to be Richard, although everyone still calls him Pigeon. He is disliked by Marquess and Yung Hee, but Tyson is seemingly oblivious to his obnoxious nature.

Yung Hee Tyson (voiced by Rachel Ramras) – Mike's 18-year-old adopted daughter. Born in 1998, she was left by her birth mother on Mike's doorstep when she was a baby.

Marquess of Queensberry (voiced by Jim Rash) – Named for the real life father of modern boxing John Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry, this flamboyant ghost provides Mike with intellectual advice. His name is pronounced "Marcus" and rendered as if Marquess is his actual name, rather than a title.

Recurring characters

Deezy (voiced by Chuck Deezy) - Mike Tyson's agent.
