FEEL FREE TO PLAY ALONG AND GUESS WHO IS UNDER EACH MASK! I WILL UPDATE THIS THREAD 48-60 HOURS AFTER THE LIVE BROADCAST! I want you all to do something... if you're going to participate, guess who is the one that was revealed BEFORE watching the reveal video, then edit your post and say if you were right or not
New Format & Twists
First, there's a new host! Shortly before production began, longtime host Nick Cannon tested positive for COVID-19, and producers tapped comedian Niecy Nash to step in as a guest host for the first half of the season. However, it was confirmed late last month that Cannon will be coming back before the end of season 5.
The singing show has also added wild card rounds for the upcoming season, with new masked celebrities introduced during the run of the show. During the season, there will be two groups of five contestants to start with, and the "wild card" contestants will have a chance to crash the party and take the stage at the end of each episode for a chance to unseat another contestant in that week's competition.
Additionally, the show will feature a brand new character, Cluedle-Doo, a secret celeb in a rooster costume who dishes out clues -- and red herrings -- throughout the season. While Cluedle-Doo won't be competing, he will be a clue master whose identity will also be revealed at some point during the season.
Contestant's Accolades
According to the show, they have "a combined 26 GRAMMY nominations, 9 multiplatinum singles, 4 Academy Award nominations, 3 Super Bowl appearances, 6 gold medals, and 2 world records!"
