During his recent appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live‘, Zach Woods shared an intriguing story that left the audience both bewildered and amused. Woods ventured into a conversation with Mike Tyson on the set of ‘In the Know,’ a new series blending stop-motion animation with real-life celebrity cameos. This Peacock series, co-created by Woods, Mike Judge, and Brandon Gardner, thrives on its unique premise and engaging, albeit odd, celebrity interviews.

In a particularly surreal episode, Woods, voicing the animated NPR host Lauren Caspian, finds himself discussing a rather personal and peculiar issue. “Well I don’t know, in that particular episode Lauren has been diagnosed with passive sperm which is when the sperm can’t penetrate the egg. It can only spoon the egg and he’s very upset because donating to sperm banks is his way of giving back. So he can’t do it anymore,” Woods explained. To this, Tyson, ever so pragmatically, suggests, “maybe you should take supplements. It’ll make it more viscous.”

Woods couldn’t help but reflect on the absurdity of the situation. “I was just thinking like this is what my immigrant ancestors came to America for. So that one day their great-grandson could talk to the heavyweight champion of the world about the thickness of his sperm. So the American dream is real, people,” he quipped. This exchange not only highlights the comedic genius behind “In the Know” but also showcases the ease with which celebrities like Tyson engage in the show’s unconventional narrative.

Through Woods’ eyes, we’re reminded of the power of humor to connect us in the most unexpected ways, reflecting the quirky essence of the American dream.
