Heavy Metal Rocker Unmasked on ‘The Masked Singer’

There was a lot of funny business going on with The Masked Singer on Wednesday night (Nov. 16), as Fox‘s quirky show celebrated “comedy roast night.”

The Bride was sent packing before the rest, having accumulated the least number of votes.

The mask came off to reveal Chris Jericho, the former pro-wrestler and singer with heavy metal band Fozzy.

Why dress up as a pink dinosaur for national television? He said, keeping in the comedy roast night ethos, “It’s always existed inside of me, all my life.”

“I had a great time, the costume was amazing, it was the best I’ve seen on the show, and I’m sorry that I got beat by an avocado.”

Avocado may have won the round, but he didn’t see the night out.

Avocado was sent home after a battle royale against Snowstorm in which the pair sang Carly Simon’s Rock Hall inductee “You’re So Vain”.

Adam Carolla was underneath the funny suit.

The comedian made his exit with humor. He told Nick Cannon that he had to tell him that “somebody farted” in the avocado suit, but it wasn’t him. No, I know my essence .”

When asked why he wanted to join The Masked Singer, another quip. “I dreamt of this moment since I was a young boy growing up in north Hollywood, California. And a scant 47 years later here I am.” He continued, “so this is a dream realized. And if I die tonight… I’m going to be pissed

Jericho and Carolla join the likes of George Foreman (Venus Flytrap), George Clinton (Gopher), Daymond John (Fortune Teller), the “Brady boys” Mike Lookinland, Barry Williams and Christopher Knight (Mummies), Montell Jordan (Panther), Jeff Dunham (Pi-Rat), Chris Kirkpatrick (Hummingbird), Eric Idle (Hedgehog) and William Shatner (Knight) as contestants revealed so far in the 2022 series.

TMS season 8 introduces several changes to its format.

Each episode features a new round of masked celebs. Only one contestant moves forward at the end of each hour. Plus, the audience votes live in-studio for their favorite performance. The singer with the lowest total will then unmask in mid-show before taking his or her spot in the new Masked Singer VIP section.
