The exclusive interaction began with the question. Maher asked Tyson, “Mike, I have to ask you the question the whole world wants to know. Why are you flying on JetBlue?”. And, Tyson replied, “My wife says the same thing.”

It seemed like probably Maher was not expecting such an answer. Adding one more detail that JetBlue is Tyson’s favorite airline, he asked, “Why is it your favorite airline?”

Tyson said that he loves JetBlue. However, he didn’t care to explain further, as he did not know the reason behind it.
