All jokes were on the other night at the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Fallon hosted Monday night’s show with, guests, retired boxer Mike Tyson and Roots drummer Questlove. While Mike Tyson was on the show to promote his own show, Mike Tyson Mysteries which airs on Adult Swim, after Jimmy mentioned the “You uthed to call me on the thell phone” Meme, with a picture of Mike Tyson holding a dated cellular device, that Questlove recently posted to his Instagram page, Tyson gained a secondary reason for being on the show-a very special performance. Mike is an awfully funny guy anyway, but his cover of, Young Money rapper Drake’s, hot new single ‘Hotline Bling’ has taken the cake for his most hilarious joke/skit.

Rolling Stone added in their coverage of the Jimmy Fallon episode,

“The boxer/actor was on hand to promote the second season of hisAdult Swim show, Mike Tyson Mysteries, when he took umbrage with host Jimmy Fallon’s description of the show as Scooby Doo meets Mr. T. After Tyson pointed out the obvious — “Me and Mr. T are different” — Fallon, already faux fearing for his life at Tyson’s exuberance, accused Questlove of making the comment originally.

Fallon proceeded to throw Quest further under the bus, bringing up a “Hotline Bling” meme the drummer posted on Instagram in which a picture of Tyson on an old flip phone was accompanied by a caption poking fun at his lisp: “You uthed to call me on the thell phone.”

The lisp added an even funnier dynamic the super off-beat, unique rendition of the hottest song on the radio. Yo, I think OVO should sign the kid. aha

As though the video of Tyson performing his version of ‘Hotline Bling’ wasn’t funny enough, the memes add a bit more comedy to the whole thing.
