We hope you’ve got a high tolerance for rehashed clip packages and Zoom-style digital hangouts, because it’s time for The Masked Singer‘s first-ever aftershow!
The Masked Singer: After the Mask featured the reality competition’s host, Nick Cannon, standing in front of a green screen somewhere (his home?) and chatting remotely with various Masked judges and former contestants. In a moment, we’ll want to hear what you thought of the new Masked venture. But first, a rundown of the highlights:
* Guests during the hour-long episode included that night’s castoff Banana, aka Poison lead singer Bret Michaels; judge Ken Jeong; guest judge Joel McHale; Season 2’s Ladybug, aka Kelly Osbourne; and Season 3’s T-Rex, aka YouTube star JoJo Siwa.
* McHale’s Netflix Tiger King aftershow hosting gig was the subject of many a joke; if you’ve seen it, you likely recognized the wall behind the Community alum during the Masked aftershow.
* Cannon said 100 “Masked Singer superfans” were joining the action, also via remote shots, though I’ll eat White Tiger’s paw if the laughter heard throughout the hour wasn’t a laugh track.
* In previously unseen footage, judge Jenny McCarthy Walhberg noted how she uses Cannon’s crotch “as a tool” to figure out how tall the competitors really are.
* Cannon talked about the “candy room” in his house, which might’ve seemed indulgent months ago but in this time of sheltering at home seems like a really prescient idea.
* At the end of the hour, Astronaut offered this extra clue: “If you’re looking for a clue to my identity, all you have to do is keep your eye on these eyeballs,” he said, while a photo of some brightly colored birds showed up on screen.
* Michaels closed out the episode with an acoustic performance of “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.”
