Thanksgiving dinner will be a real humdinger this year.

9. Confirmed by iMDB, wow:

Edited on Fri Nov-17-06 09:25 PM by blondeatlast

Is boxer Mike Tyson's cousin by marriage. Tyson's adoptive father, Cus D'Amato's niece married Olbermann's father's brother, making Keith Mike Tyson's cousin.

Edit: Woops, forgot the handy-dandy linkie: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0646021/bio

12. iMDB is like Wikipedia; sometimes the info isn't as accurate

as we'd like; but if KO says it and it's there, it must be true.

Yikes! Is there room in that spot of honey (or you know what) for me?

11. Mike is a good guy.

I read an article about him tonight, that included interviews with a number of people that know him. ("The Mike Tyson You Don't Know"; S. Malinowski; Boxing Digest; 11-06) A close family friend had signed a teen-aged Mike to Cus years ago. He endured a very violent early life, though he certainly had periods where he was out of control. However, he is actually quite intelligent, and I'd assume could have some interesting conversations with Keith.

13. Cousins To Michael Steele!

That would make him related to Michael Steele, whose sister was married to Mike Tyson.

14. KO has repeatedly explained this relationship on Dan Patrick's ESPN Radio show. It's true.

He frequently makes reference to "Cousin Mike" and jokes about supposed family reunions.

He and Dan were hilarious on the show yesterday talking about Mike's latest "gig."

Dan: "This is going to make for an interesting Thanksgiving at your house!"

Keith (doing imitation of family, yelling): "Mike! Dinner's ready!"

(imitating Mike) "I'm busy!" (makes repeated rhythmic banging noise)

(imitating family yelling again) "Um...OK, we'll save some white meat for ya!...um, scratch that...We'll save some legs for ya!...um, scratch that..."
