SPOILER ALERT – Do not continue reading if you don’t want to know who was unmasked on The Masked Singer tonight!

“The Masked Singer” made headlines awhile back — and not the good kind — when it was reported that Rudy Giuliani was revealed to be one of the performers on the current season.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeSPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 7, Episode 7, of “The Masked Singer,” “Don’t Mask, Don’t Tell — The Good, the Bad and the Cuddly Round 3,” which aired April 20 on Fox.Well, that happened. In what was largely an anticlimactic end to what we were all bracing for this season on Fox’s “The Masked Singer,” disgraced former attorney Rudolph Giuliani showed up, sang an off-key and off-putting version of “Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood and the Destroyers and then was unmasked as the Jack in the Box.The show’s Wednesday episode teased the Giuliani reveal as “the biggest event in ‘Masked Singer’ history” — which was perhaps true, at least until the show casts O.J.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticPerhaps the only gratifying thing about Rudy Giuliani’s appearance on “The Masked Singer” is that the element of surprise the show’s producers craved was ruined in advance.Wednesday night’s episode of “The Masked Singer” saw former New York City mayor and lawyer for former President Donald Trump revealed as the Jack in the Box. Fitting his costume, the disguised Giuliani explosively popped out of his captivity to perform George Thorogood and the Destroyers’ “Bad to the Bone” after a dancer turned his crank, to squeals of delight from the show’s audience and judges.

Rudy Giuliani was finally unmasked on The Masked Singer.

The wait is over. The Masked Singer finally revealed Rudy Giuliani as the Jack in the Box months after reports claimed that Robin Thicke and Ken Jeong walked off set following his unmasking.

 competition is reaching a fever pitch, and fans got their second double elimination of the season on Wednesday! Two stars went home, and the lone survivor earned a coveted spot in the grand finale.The remaining three singers from the second round of the season took to the stage to deliver their best performances to date, but fans still had to bid farewell to two.It all came down to Ringmaster, The Armadillo and Teddy in Wednesday's epic showdown. Teddy kicked things off with a memorable performance of Duffy's «Mercy» that proved just how legendary her voice really is.The Armadillo hit the stage next and belted out a raw, admittedly unrefined but powerful performance of «Amazing Grace» that left the judges in tears. Finally, Ringmaster closed out the first portion of the night's competition with a jaw-dropping cover of Dolly Parton's «I Will Always Love You,» that shockingly lived up to the vocal expectations set by Whitney Houston's iconic cover.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeSPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 7, Episode 6, of “The Masked Singer,” “The Double Mask-Off — Round 2 Finals,” which aired April 13 on Fox.The mystery of host Nick Cannon’s missing shirt wasn’t solved on Wednesday’s episode of “The Masked Singer,” but the show did send one more disguised celebrity to its final round. That meant that two more contestants were eliminated in a double exit on this week’s show: Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman as the Armadillo, and Jennifer Holliday as Miss Teddy.Armadillo aka Chapman was voted out after singing the traditional hymn “Amazing Grace.” Previous songs he performed included “Secret Agent Man,” by Johnny Rivers and “I Fought the Law,” by the Bobby Fuller Four. As for Holliday, as Miss Teddy, she sang “Mercy,” by Duffy.

Who is Miss Teddy? The judges are on a mission to find out during this week’s episode of “The Masked Singer.” And in a clip from Wednesday’s episode, exclusive to TheWrap, Ken Jeong thinks that one of the clues about her identity might be a personal jab at himself.In the clip, which you can watch above, Jeong guesses that gospel singer Yolanda Adams might be inside the costume. He’s met with a bit of skepticism from the other judges, but insists that one of the clues — a photo of Eddie Murphy — tipped him off.“The Eddie Murphy really got me.

Ken Jeong is just trying to mess with his fellow panelists.The hilarious comic has cultivated a reputation over the past seven seasons of the show for coming up with some of the most unlikely, out-of-left-field suggestions when it comes to guessing the secret celebrity identity of the show's costumed singers — like when he guessed that The Baby on Season 6 was Gordon Ramsey, and it proved to be Larry the Cable Guy.In this exclusive sneak peek from Wednesday's new episode, Ken truly ups the ante when it comes to outlandish deductions after hearing a performance from The Armadillo that leaves him feeling sure he's got this contestant nailed.So who does Ken believe is actually under the undoubtedly heavy, intricately detailed Armadillo costume?«This is Al Pacino, and I'll tell you why,» Ken states with truly unearned confidence, as fellow panelist Robin Thicke laughs out loud.Apparently, Ken's entire rationale is based on a clue presented earlier in the episode that featured handcuffs.«Handcuffs! He was a cop in, and he was technically a fugitive in » Ken explains, as Robin sarcastically quips, «It's so obvious.»If you're somehow unsure of why it's so ridiculous for Ken to guess that The Armadillo might actually be the 81-year-old Oscar-winning film icon, take a listen to his performance of «I Fought the Law» from last week's episode.This week, the panel — which also includes Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger — will get some special help from returning guest panelist and star Leslie Jordan (who also openly laughed at Ken's implausible guess).Fans will also watch as The Armadillo faces off against The Ringmaster and Teddy.

NICOLE Scherzinger fans thought she’s suffered a ‘wardrobe malfunction’ as the singer performed in very revealing dress. They flocked to social media to comment after the former X Factor judge dazzled in her daring dress.
