Why did anyone think this was a good idea?

Mike Tyson was up on the stage at the 67th Tony Awards.  And he wasn't there because he's a talented Broadway performer.  What the fuck people?  Has no one read his Wikipedia page? 

Update:  Well, what do you know?  He actually is a talented Broadway performer.  He has a one man show.  And here I was thinking his appearance was the equivalent of putting Roman Polanski up on the stage just for the hell of it.  Maybe if I'd watched more than the opening number on youtube I'd realize these sorts of things.
