“We were both with our significant others at the time, of course,” he told Kimmel. Madonna was on the date with Sean Penn, and Mike was presumably with his ex-wife Robin Givens.

Turns out, Mike and Sean fell asleep in the film. “We’re a big fan of Pee-wee, but we were slightly inebriated,” the heavyweight great said. Just to prove he’s a good sport, he gave the audience an impression of his lights-out face that night.
