Hunter Hayes Reveals the Toughest Part of “The Masked Singer”
How’s everybody doing tonight? Pretty boring time? Nothing going on?
While you’re killing time waiting for nothing in particular, why not take a little trip down Masked Singer memory lane? We’ve now witnessed more than 50 unmaskings over the course of three and a half seasons, and some have definitely hit harder than others. Sometimes our reaction actually does match the suspiciously shocked faces of the audience members and other times, all we can do is say, “Who?”
In order to distract ourselves, we’ve updated our ranking of all of the reveals so far, in order from least to most thrilling. Remember when Sarah Palin was a Bear? And when Bella Thorne was a Swan? Bret Michaels was also a Banana once!
This show has given us some truly wild moments since it first premiered in January 2019 (practically an entire lifetime ago), and now it’s time to take a little look back.
Scroll down to see all of the reveals ranked, starting with some of those we were not quite so impressed by.
Jackie Evancho as Kitty
No offense to Jackie Evancho, but…who? Apparently she was on America’s Got Talent but we could not have told you that when she took off her mask.
Mark Sanchez as the Baby Alien
So sorry to Mark Sanchez but we did not immediately know who he was when he took off his elaborate Baby Alien puppet situation. That seems to always be happening to us with the sports stars.
Busta Rhymes as the Dragon
The first contestant to be eliminated always gets the short end of the stick. We hardly knew the Dragon before he was outed as Busta Rhymes, so all we really had time to say was “Oh.”
Tommy Chong as the Pineapple
Few things have been more obvious in life than the fact that Tommy Chong was the Pineapple, in a good way. Tommy Chong knows his brand.
Antonio Brown as the Hippo
This was the show’s very first reveal back in season one and don’t worry if you totally forgot it ever happened, because we did too!
Laila Ali as the Panda
Laila Ali was once revealed to be the Panda! Good for Laila Ali!
Rob Gronkowski as the White Tiger
Of course Rob Gronkowski was the White Tiger on The Masked Singer. Of course!
Terry Bradshaw as the Deer
If we were Terry Bradshaw we would wear this costume around our house because it really just works for him.
Paul Shaffer as the Skeleton
Paul Shaffer really embodied that Skeleton and that kooky Skeleton really represented the essence of Paul Shaffer. They feel one in the same.
Hunter Hayes as the Astronaut
The Astronaut was so good that he had to be a professional singer, and he was! This was not a surprise!
Dr. Drew as the Eagle
Once upon a time, Dr. Drew Pinsky was dressed as an Eagle singing Meatloaf. Feels like more of a fever dream than something that actually happened.
Barry Zito as the Rhino
Recently someone was talking about Barry Zito for some reason and we were like “Oh my god, the Rhino?!” At least he made some kind of impact on us!
JoJo Siwa as the T-Rex
The T-Rex was so clearly JoJo Siwa that we’ve never been less shocked to see a person take off a dinosaur mask. But when it comes to being exciting, that appears to be JoJo’s only mode.
Rumer Willis as the Lion
We all knew the Lion was Rumer from day one, but this still would have been way more exciting if she hadn’t had to awkwardly deny it so many times.
Tori Spelling as the Unicorn
Tori Spelling on The Masked Singer just feels right, and thus not all that shocking.
Ninja as the Ice Cream
Honestly, justice for Ice Cream and Egg. They got unmasked in the same season two premiere episode and it really took the excitement out of both of them a little bit. Sorry for Ice Cream, but Egg wins here just because the Egg was a truly insane costume we were all obsessed with before the season premiered.
Ricki Lake as the Raven
Ricki Lake, where you been? It was nice to see this former talk show host taking the stage again, especially after what she had been through over the past few years with losing her ex-husband. Not shocking, but a pleasant reveal.
Bret Michaels as the Banana
“Bret Michaels is the Banana” is absolutely one of the funnier sentences to come out of this show.
Ana Gasteyer as the Tree
Ana’s literally got Scheddy Balls on her Tree costume, reminding us she’s been making us laugh for decades and she’s not stopping now.
Brian Austin Green as the Giraffe
BAG was the Giraffe and now he’s a panelist on the new show The Masked Dancer. It feels like a joke but it’s not!
Sherri Shepherd as the Penguin
Are we alone in being unable to look at Sherri Shepherd without hearing her say “HAM!” on 30 Rock?
Kelly Osbourne as the Ladybug
Ladybug very cleverly disguised her voice with a Southern accent but Osbournes fans knew what was up.
Adrienne Bailon as the Flamingo
The Flamingo was so filled with energy and incredible talent all season long and for a while, the guesses were truly all over the place. It felt pretty satisfying in the end to discover that it was former Cheetah Girl and current talk show host Adrienne Bailon.
Raven-Symone as Black Widow
Raven broke her arm after a performance, which is some true sacrifice for her craft. She was also the first of two Cheetah Girls to be unmasked in season two!
Jordyn Woods as the Kangaroo
The Masked Singer was the last place we expected Jordyn Woods to pop up when she did, but it honestly should have been one of the first and that’s on us.
Wendy Williams as the Lips
Everything about the Lips was so very Wendy Williams, from the voice to the crystal-covered costume to the fact that she was sitting down for the whole performance. It was hardly a shock to see her take off that mask after all her flirting with Nick Cannon, but it was a wild ride.
Patti LaBelle as the Flower
We will never get used to legendary superstars getting unmasked on that stage, and Patti LaBelle was no exception.
Michelle Williams as the Butterfly
She was in Destiny’s Child! And then she was on The Masked Singer! She didn’t win, but at least she made it pretty far.
Chaka Khan as Miss Monster
Sure, it sounded exactly like Chaka Khan the whole time, but it was still just wild that Chaka Khan was dressed as a lady monster on The Masked Singer.
Dionne Warwick as the Mouse
Dionne was an even bigger shock, because we already had Chaka Khan this season, and it seemed crazy to have yet another legendary diva in the same season.
