Rudy Giuliani reveal on ‘The Masked Singer’ causes walk-out from judge Ken Jeong

s wild and unpredictable season is nearing its grand finale, as Wednesday determined which contestant would be taking the last spot in the final three.The Queen Cobras, Space Bunny and the Frog Prince all took the stage for the last showdown of Round 3, and each sang their hearts out for the chance at making it all the way to the end of the line.However, only one could claim the spot — meaning fans were in for a double elimination! Which also meant finally learning who some of the costumed crooners really are!After all three of the elaborately crafted characters sang their heart out, it came time for the three to go back-to-back singing alternating verses of Katy Perry's hit «Roar» — and all three slayed their performances, making the audience vote particularly difficult.However, two (costume) heads had to roll, so the first singer to get the proverbial axe was the Space Bunny!Before unmasking, the panel of celebrity detectives -- including Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger — made their final guesses. While Jeong's guess of Owen Wilson was way off, McCarthy was closer when she suggested Sean Kingston.

Ken Jeong is really not holding back when it comes to his latest round of guesses on Wednesday's new episode of !In this exclusive sneak peek from the forthcoming episode, we see Ken piecing together all the clues after another performance from Queen Cobra — or should we say Queen Cobras, as they revealed in a surprise move last week, there are actually three costumed performers.Referring to some hints in the clue package that aired before their new performance, Ken surmises that the Queen Cobras might actually be three huge music megastars.«She said 'Bang!' [and] 'Wizard.' You know who's starring in the movie adaptation of? Ariana Grande,» Ken says, spelling out his deductive reasoning. «And three people sang 'Bang, Bang.' The Second person, Jessie J, also has a song called 'Price Tag!'» While it's clear his fellow panelists — Robin Thicke, Nicole Scherzinger and Jenny McCarthy — and host Nick Cannon, aren't really sold, Ken soldiers on to deliver the final piece of the puzzle.«But we need the third person? OK! Last week there was a heart [clue], and the person who wrote and sang 'Buy a Heart' was Nicki Minaj!» concludes Ken, explaining that she, too, sang on the hit 2014 single.«Bang, bang! I win!» Ken declares, as he fired off imaginary finger guns and blew smoke from his finger barrels, all while Nicole rolls her eyes.While it's unlikely, this isn't the most outlandish guess Ken has made in recent weeks.

copying a classic look at the Met Gala.Social media users were pointing fingers at Ralph Lauren, angrily alleging that the designer ripped off the idea of Alicia Keys’ New York skyscraper cape from fellow high-fashion designer Zang Toi.Toi, the go-to designer favored by the fashionable society set, showed a white couture silk gazar floor-length cape with black hand-beaded New York skyscrapers in February 2020 during his Fall/Winter 2020 runway show at New York Fashion Week — much like Lauren’s design for the 2022 Met Gala.“My cape was inspired by my love for my adopted home, New York City,” Toi told The Post, noting his inbox has been flooded with fashion lovers pointing out the similarities to his original design. “I came here 41 years ago with $300 to study at Parsons School of Design and I wanted to show my love and appreciation for the city that embraced me — and allowed me to live the American Dream.”In fact, Toi debuted his black-and-white skyscraper cape many years ago during his Spring 2009 collection — later worn by Ling Tan at the 2010 CFDA Fashion Awards.“I decided to bring the iconic hand-beaded New York skyline cape out of the archive — timeless beauty never goes out of style — to pay tribute to my favorite city at my 2020 ‘New York, New York’ runway show,” he told The Post, which was attended by former mayor Rudy Giuliani.Eagle-eyed fashionistas couldn’t help but point out that it seems Lauren may have lifted the idea from the Malaysia-born designer’s “New York, New York” collection, which included a cape with similar NYC embellishments.“They copied Zang because they know Zang is the most creative unparalleled fashion designer,” one fan said.

an unexpected unmasking last week that sent shockwaves through the fandom, the hit Fox show returned on Wednesday and was back to business as usual with another set of performances from the third and final group of costumed contestants.Space Bunny, Frog Prince, Baby Mammoth and Queen Cobra — who turned out to be multiple contestants as multiple Queen Cobras, to everyone's surprise — all took the stage for another shot at keeping their masks on and getting to the finals.After all the performances were delivered, it came time for the audience to vote on which of the masked contestants should have to face off — and it all came down to Baby Mammoth (who sang «Me Too» by Meghan Trainer) and Space Bunny, who crooned Culture Club's «Do You Really Want to Hurt Me.»Finally, it came time for the final vote of the night and that spelled the end of the road for Baby Mammoth.Before unmasking, the panel of celebrity detectives — including Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger — made their final guesses. The wild guesses included Reese Witherspoon, Kirsten Dunst and Rachel Ray.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorElon Musk, who’s set to become Twitter’s sole owner, is prohibited from posting tweets that “disparage” the social network.But that didn’t stop Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and the world’s richest person, from criticizing Twitter’s 2020 decision to freeze the account of the New York Post, after the paper published unverified stories about Hunter Biden.“Suspending the Twitter account of a major news organization for publishing a truthful story was obviously incredibly inappropriate,” Musk tweeted Tuesday evening.That was in reply to a post by Saagar Enjeti, political commentator and co-host of “Breaking Points,” which linked to a story by Politico describing how Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s head of legal, policy and trust, and safety — the exec who oversaw the company’s suspension of the New York Post — cried during a meeting with staffers discussing Musk’s takeover. In October 2020, Twitter blocked the New York Post’s account for 16 days over the newspaper’s series of disputed stories on Hunter Biden, in what became a flashpoint for Republicans charging Twitter with censorship of conservatives.

Nicole Scherzinger seems fairly sure she knows exactly who is under the Baby Mammoth costume — and seems sure that the secret celeb is also related to fellow panelist Jenny McCarthy.In this exclusive sneak peek at Wednesday's new episode, Nicole is passionate about her guess, following a performance and some clues about Baby Mammoth.«I'm getting Melissa McCarthy vibes? Your cousin?» Nicole says, as Jenny nods and smiles.«Missy, are you in there?» Jenny jokingly calls out to Baby Mammoth, who stands quietly on stage next to host Nick Cannon.«Last week, in the clues, it said 'Cheer.' Little known fact, Melissa McCarthy was a cheerleader in high school,» Nicole continues. «Also, there was a match, and Melissa McCarthy was in with Sandra Bullock.»«It could be her,» Jenny says. «I could totally see her doing it, and her kids love the show.»«That's a good guess!» Robin Thicke adds with a smile.It's certainly a far cry from fellow panelist Ken Jeong's suggestion about the Baby Mammoth's secret identity from last week, when he guessed that it is actually figure skater Nancy Kerrigan.Either way, fans will be able to see Baby Mammoth face off against the Frog Prince, Space Bunny and Queen Cobra as 's season 7 competition continues to heat up on Wednesday at 8 p.m.

Rudy Giuliani’s long-awaited reveal on The Masked Singer finally aired on Fox. However, the controversial unmasking didn’t seem to pay off, with the singing series hitting season lows on Wednesday.

revealed on “The Masked Singer” this week and, as was first reported back in February, judge Ken Jeong did in fact walk off the stage. And now, seeing how things actually went down, viewers are praising the move.The former New York City mayor-turned-Trump lawyer was unmasked as the Jack in the Box, and became the first contestant eliminated from Round 3 of the competition after a rendition of George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone.”Jeong appeared absolutely stunned when Giuliani’s face was revealed, saying nothing.

segment taped months ago, Giuliani popped out of a jack in the box while singing a rendition of “Bad to the Bone” — leaving Jeong to say “I’m done” before heading backstage.Some crowd members gasped in disbelief as the panelists struggled to identify the contestant as the man who spearheaded an effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.“Is that Robert Duval?” judge Nicole Scherzinger asked.“No …. that’s not Robert Duval,” Ken Jeong replied, clearly unamused.“I broke a thousand hearts before I met you.

“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.

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.

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.

However, no one came close to Jack in the Box's real identity.After the traditional chants of «Take it off,» Jack in the Box revealed himself to be none other than former New York Mayor and former Trump lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.The response to the reveal was mixed, to say the least.

Rudy Giuliani was finally unmasked on The Masked Singer.
