The judges of Fox Network’s primetime TV singing contest, The Masked Singer, got quite the scare upon finding out that former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani was one of the show’s secret contestants.
According to the Huffington Post, two of the four celebrity judges on the singing competition were so perturbed when finding out that Giuliani was on their show that they walked out over taping. Two other judges spoke to Giuliani about his support for Trump during his appearance on stage.
Next month’s episode on Fox will air. We won’t be able to see the costume Giuliani was wearing for the performance of his music before the big reveal. It was reported however that Giuliani’s cameo triggered the show’s panelists.
It is a show where celebrities sing one song at a while in bizarre and identity-concealing costumes. Along with the audience, judges and viewers vote for the singer they love best. Then, each celebrity’s identity is revealed under the mask. The show then reveals each contestant’s true identity in a shocking, made-for-tv moment.
Clearly Giuliani’s reveal was intended by Fox show runners to be a dramatic, jaw-dropping reveal that would reduce half the national audience to laughter and the other half to quaking rage. I mean, c’mon, this is the guy that was the face of Trump’s election challenge, a campaign that much of the country deplores with a passion.
Man, politics aside, that’s good reality TV drama. And Rudy is no stranger to dressing up for a laugh.
And don’t leave it to the audience to lose their cool. The two male judges of the show, sitcom star Ken Jeong and “Blurred Lines” singer Robin Thicke had to leave the stage during the taping because they were so disgusted at Giuliani’s reveal.
Deadline.com reported that “as soon as they saw Giuliani, judges Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke quickly left the stage in protest.”
It was funny that only one of the female judges stayed on stage to speak to Giuliani, even though he had taken off the mask. This proves that men are the most sensitive people in the room. The piece stated, “fellow judges Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger remained onstage” and “bantered” with the controversial political figure.
We will all need to watch the Fox episode to find out what they discussed.
This isn’t the first time a controversial conservative political figure has had a big reveal on The Masked Singer. In 2020, former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin was of the show’s contestants which caused an uproar among liberal fans.
Well, we’re sure to get a meltdown after the Giuliani episode, especially if the judges are that squeamish about it.
