Fox’s ‘The Masked Singer’ Series Premiere: Meet The Judges, Host

With the premiere of “The Masked Singer” on Wednesday, Fox is giving fans yet another singing show to watch.

The hook with this one, though, which is based on an international version, is that viewers will likely already know the singers. Each one is a celebrity, but they’re hidden behind costumes and masks. Fans, along with the host and judges (called panelists), will try to guess who the stars are based on their voices, some clues given and their overall demeanor. At the end of each episode, one of the contestants will unmask themselves to reveal their famous face.

We might not know who the celebrity contestants are just yet, but the names of the stars involved as panelists and such are readily available. Here’s who you can see on the show each week:

Nick Cannon (host)

This isn’t the multi-hyphenate’s first turn as host. Cannon previously held that position on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” as well as on “Caught on Camera with Nick Cannon,” “TeenNick Top 10” and, currently, “Wild ’N Out.” Viewers will also recognize him from shows and movies, like “All That,” “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” “Drumline,” “Roll Bounce” and more.

Jenny McCarthy (panelist)

McCarthy’s done a little bit of everything, from modeling to hosting her own show to acting to starring in her a reality series. Now, she’s ready to bring the pop culture knowledge she’s gained over the years to help her on this new Fox show.

Ken Jeong (panelist)

The actor was a scene-stealer in the “Hangover” movies as Mr. Chow and also starred on “Community” from 2009 to 2015. Later, he co-created and starred in his own ABC comedy, “Dr. Ken,” for two seasons.

Nicole Scherzinger (panelist)

The singer’s most known for leading the girl group The Pussycat Dolls, which released its first single, “Sway,” in 2004 and first album, “PCD,” in 2005. She’s also put out solo music over the years and starred in the 2017 TV “Dirty Dancing” musical remake.

Robin Thicke (panelist)

The “Blurred Lines” singer’s released seven studio albums over the years and was also a judge on the short-lived ABC singing competition, “Duets.” He was also an adviser on “The Voice” in 2012 and has been in a few episodes of “Real Husbands of Hollywood.”

“The Masked Singer” premieres on Fox on Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST.
