IfThe Hunger Games Capitol were to host a Eurovision Song Contest, it would be something likeThe Masked Singer.
Theyre all celebrities, and the panel of clueless judges must speculate their identity until theyre eliminated.
(Its an award-winning athlete, said Thicke with complete surety about Kirstie Alley/Baby Mammoth.)
Cult-like audience chants of Take it off!
25.Elephant is Tony Hawk
25.
24.Dragon is Busta Rhymes
24.
23.Jester is Johnny Rotten
23.
22.Banana Split is David Foster and Katharine McPhee
22.
Doesnt it make total sense that multipleGreatest Showmansongs have been covered across the variousMasked Singerfranchises?
Like, theyre dressed as a sundae for Gods sake.
21.Scarecrow is Linda Blair
21.
After a decent performance of Abracadabra, Scarecrow clearly was over this demonic pageantry, and self-eliminated herself.
Blair mutely scampers over the stage despite Cannons best efforts to strike up any form of conversation with her.
Just imagine that Thicke repeatedly saying, Oh my God.
is exactly what he said when he watchedThe Exorcist.
20.Squiggly Monster is Bob Saget
20.
19.Llama is Drew Carey
19.
Llama made a splash with the panel (I cant!
Hes got four legs!
I am so glad I only had to do two episodes.Hes got union members to buy lunch for!
18.Mother Nature is Vivica A.
Fox clearly had a blast as Mother Nature.
She even jokingly asked Jeong, Are you ready to call me mommy?
Wish she hadnt done that.
17.California Roll is Pentatonix
17.
Still, these are rookie numbers.
Lets see 11 for season 11.
16.Beetle is Jerry Springer
16.
The judges, audience, and the Muppets perform the famous Jerry!
chant multiple times, having exhausted that weeks quota of Wow!
and Youre an icon!
15.Robopine is Tyrese Gibson
15.
Tyrese Gibson took hisMasked Singerplatform incredibly seriously.
Good for you, Robopine.
14.Fox is Wayne Brady
14.
13.Wolf is Michael Bolton
13.
(Do they sing Jim Morrison in anime?
Either way, his message of making this a beautiful world felt prescient.
12.Broccoli is Paul Anka
12.
Wed have started with hospital staff, butThe Masked Singeris maybe second or third.
11.Cluedle-Doo is Donnie Wahlberg
11.
What would you do if you found out your husband was a masked singer?
10.Pickle is Michael Rapaport
10.
Still, whatever you think of the guys awful politics, you cant deny that Pickle IS Michael Rapaport.
9.Leopard is Seal
9.
Dont be confused by this subheading a leopard is definitely a different animal to a seal.
It feels like the Leopard costume/persona really brought out a flamboyant edge in Seal, whatever that means.
8.Knight is William Shatner
8.
Throughout his performance, it is unclear whether William Shatner is there of his own free will.
Not very convincing, but they should stop putting elderly people on this show altogether.
The highlight is probably Nick Cannon trying to coin the nickname Shat.
7.Mouse is Dionne Warwick
7.
6.Gnome is Dick Van Dyke
6.
Hey, thats fine with us!
As long as the gnome doesnt exert himself too much!
Thicke says Wow about 90 times, Scherzinger weeps.
5.Diver is Tom Sandoval
5.
4.Lips is Wendy Williams
4.
Oh …
3.Gremlin is Mickey Rourke
3.
I was in the neighborhood, he remarks.
I watched, like, four episodes … from the beginning and all that shit.
2.Snail is Kermit the Frog
2.
Do not be confused Kermit the Frog is not a Snail!
He remains, as ever, a frog.
In the game-changing season-five premiere, the diminutive snail removed its massive hat to reveal … an empty space.
Everyone was thrown; seriously, it plays like a Hitchcock movie.
1.Jack in the Box is Rudy Giuliani
1.
There is a clear tension in the room as Rudy talks about his granddaughter.
