Ken Jeong was convinced Raccoon Danny DeVito. And although an Masked Singer the judge had a moment of clarity earlier in the season, it is usually safe to bet against Ken Jeong.
The third program of the fifth season of the singing competition series (yes, somehow there have been four full seasons of this) includes performances by Group A, the group of singers who viewers first saw the premiere of the season: Seashell, Raccoon, Robopine, and the Russian dolls. Although they defeated Snail—who was actually Kermit the Frog … we are really sorry about thatGroup A was no less this week, as they welcomed a Wild Card called Orca. The judges seemed to think that Orca is a rock myth even though it looked like an alcohol uncle at a family birthday party, but that’s next to the point since it wasn’t the singer. raspberries that packed at the end of Wednesday’s program.
[Spoilers ahead.]
Singer with the fewest votes this week (whatever that means, now that the show has no real live audience) was a Raccoon. After a flashback that revealed that the singer had apparently started out as a boxer and trainer for an actor before becoming a star himself, followed by a performance of “Wild Thing,” the judging panel measured to everyone from the DeVito named to Sylvester Stallone. But before Raccoon was signed, host guest Niecy Nash was—still going in for Nick Cannon at COVID-positive– They took the panel of their “First Impression” estimates from week one, and gave Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke the opportunity to change their votes. Here are the first and final estimates:
Jenny McCarthy: Dustin Hoffman / Gary Busey
Nicole Scherzinger: Gary Busey / Sylvester Stallone
Robin Thicke: Danny DeVito / Tony Danza
Ken Jeong: Mike Tyson / Danny DeVito
But, in anyone’s panic, they were all wrong and Raccoon was indeed Machete himself, Danny Trejo. So at least Ken got his first name right?
