Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large SPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 10, Episode 9 of “The Masked Singer,” “Disco Night,” which aired Nov. 29 on Fox. Former O-Town member Ashley Parker Angel had set aside performing in recent years to focus on his health and wellness company, High Level. But when “The Masked Singer” came calling, he couldn’t resist: “It was a hell yes, right from the start,” he told Variety.
Angel was revealed on Wednesday as the latest celebrity to participate in Season 10 of “The Masked Singer.” He appeared on the show as the S’more, this week performing “That’s the Way (I Like It),” by KC and the Sunshine Band. “It had been 20 years as a performer traveling all over the world, ‘Pop Star,’ boy band, TV shows on MTV, Broadway, and I was ready to kind of pivot into something else,” Angel said. “So, I really had not been performing in quite some time.
And I was a huge fan of ‘The Masked Singer.’ I was like, I got to do this. This is just the perfect show.” The show’s panelists were all in the boy band space, but only Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg got it right with Angel. Ken Jeong picked AJ MacLean of Backstreet Boys.
Robin Thicke named Kevin Richardson of Backstreet Boys. Nicole Scherzinger went with Jordan Knight of New Kids on the Block. “There was a learning curve,” Angel said of performing under the S’more costume.
“As a performer, you’re usually not in a giant costume like this. What’s so awesome about ‘The Masked Singer,’ I felt like each performance, I got a little better each performance. It can be a little terrifying when you’re on stage and you’re doing all sorts of choreography.
