This kind of moment felt inevitable for “The Masked Singer,” a reliable place for chaos since it debuted in June 2019. The first celebrity unmasked was NFL star Antonio Brown, who at the time was in the middle of a public dispute with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had skipped the game the previous Sunday, and there he was a few days later, singing “My Prerogative” while dressed as a hippo.
But as with most TV shows, ratings have dropped: The first season averaged about 12 million viewers an episode, including delayed viewing, and the numbers are now closer to around 6 million. While this is still considered a hit these days, it’s no surprise that the network would look for more shocking names to draw buzz.
After all, “The Masked Singer” producers have never seemed to care about what the audience thinks: Its judging panel includes McCarthy, known for promoting the debunked link between vaccines and autism, as well as singer Robin Thicke, the singer of the heavily criticized hit “Blurred Lines.” Cannon was fired from ViacomCBS in 2020 after making anti-Semitic comments.
Did Ken Jeong hug Giuliani, ha ha that would be hilarious
What’s wrong with America? This shit!
🤦
I remember how everyone loved him, how he cleaned up New York, made it lively, removed the corruption. He is America's mayor. Now Librards think New York was better without him.
Giuliani was horrible and this was just a stunt to try to boost ratings. Giuliani took up a space where someone who could have done a better job that wouldn't have made a fool out of themselves. Good for Ken for not playing along with this abomination.
My how that man has fallen....
Ken Jeong had 15mins of fame from the Hangover series noone cares about his virtue signalling
A pre-planned and fake response by Ken Jeong. The show is lagging in the ratings and needs to get in the news and the twitter-sphere.
He should be in jail
Of course FOXTV would put a criminal on The Masked Singer. I guess when ratings drop you have to rely on outrage to generate interest.
What did they say to that battle ship? Fits here as well.
Next contestant will be Putin
Who tf is Ken Jeong?
I wouldn't want to be a part of celebrating a liar and an apologist for fascism. He's a criminal who has gotten far too much positive attention from postmedia.
