Mike Tyson recently welcomed famous comedians Cheech and Chong on his podcast ‘Hotboxin with Mike Tyson.’ And long with them, the legendary boxer had a new co-host in the form of Leslie Jones. However, the actor and comedian’s first appearance on the podcast certainly didn’t go to plan.
Fans showed this displeasure with Jones’ co-hosting skills. Some pointed out how Leslie did not let the guests finish their stories with her constant interruptions. Another called for Tyson to get the old co-hosts back, while one fan commented, “Don’t ever call that lady back.”

Therefore, these comments showed that while fans enjoyed the episode, they weren’t too keen on Leslie Jones as co-host. And some will even question why Jones is co-hosting in the first place, given that she does not follow combat sports and did not even know what UFC was.
Who else has co-hosted with Mike Tyson?
Mike Tyson’s podcast has gained a lot of popularity over the last few years. This is down to the guests he gets, the stories he tells, and also due to the co-hosts. Since the start of the podcast, Tyson has had many famous and charismatic co-hosts.
The list of co-hosts includes former UFC double champion Henry Cejudo, Former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub, Former NBA star Matt Barnes, and Former boxing world champion Zab Judah, among others. So there have been many famous co-hosts with Tyson on his podcast.
And while all these have had their fair share of criticism over time, it has never been as direct as the criticism that Leslie Jones got for the episode with Cheech and Chong. However, it will be no surprise if we see Jones back as the co-host for the next episode.
What do you make of the criticism faced by Leslie Jones? Do you think it is justified?
