After more than 100 episodes and just as many prominent candidates, “The Masked Singer” has reached its ninth season.
Since 2019, host Nick Cannon has watched panelists Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg and Robin Thicke make hilarious and confusing guesses as they try to figure out which celebrity is singing in front of them in an elaborate disguise.
On February 15, Fox premiered the latest season of its hit reality series and has already made history with the oldest contestant in the show’s history. Dressed up as Medusa, polar bear and assorted foods, the season 9 celebrities put on impressive performances that could make them the best season yet.
Each week, TODAY.com will update which unexpected famous faces have been eliminated and revealed in the latest episode.
