The Masked Singer US unveiled a surprising guest under the doll disguise in their latest episode, which aired on April 5th. In a Movie Night episode celebrating Warner Bros’ 100th anniversary, Doll was forced to take off her mask after winning the previous week’s show. To everyone’s surprise, the heavy metal icon under the mask was Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider.
Despite their best efforts, none of the judges on the show, including Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Robin Thicke, and Nicole Sherzinger, were able to guess Snider’s identity. After Snider’s unmasking, he gave a shoutout to Gene Simmons and Iggy Pop, but made it clear that no one could work pumps like him.
Following Snider’s unmasking, Dandelion and Mantis went up against each other in the Battle Royale, with Dandelion being declared the winner. However, the show’s Keep It On bell saved Mantis from elimination, meaning they will now go up against Medusa and Gargoyle in the wild-card round.
The judges shared their guesses for the identity of the bug, with Jeong saying it was Bruce Springsteen, McCarthy Wahlberg picking Kevin Bacon, Thicke guessing Dennis Quaid, and Scherzinger thinking it was Keanu Reeves.
