Why Isn't 'The Masked Singer' on Tonight? Twitter Is Pissed at Baseball

People are serious when it comes to The Masked Singer. And people are serious about watching their shows at the scheduled times. So, when folks at home turned their TVs to Fox on Nov. 1, 2023, only to find that the show wasn't on, they were both confused and seriously pissed.

So, what happened, exactly? Why is The Masked Singer not on for yet another week this season?

On Nov. 1, the World Series between the Texas Rangers and the Arizona Diamondbacks preempted The Masked Singer.

Last year, there was a similar situation, when the World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Houston Astros also interrupted The Masked Singer.

Luckily, the latest the World Series will run is Nov. 4, so that means The Masked Singer will be back at its regularly scheduled time on Wednesday, Nov. 8.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the theme of next week's episode of The Masked Singer will be "One Hit Wonders Night," and feature four new masked celebrities dressed as an Anteater, Candelabra, Gazelle, and a Hibiscus.

So, far four celebs have been revealed on Season 10 of the FOX reality series including Anthony Anderson, Tom Sandoval, and Demi Lovato.

Previously, those who were inexplicably greeted with a baseball game instead of mystery singers in outlandish costumes were losing their minds over missing their show. Many took to Twitter to express their frustration.

One Twitter user wrote: "YOU'RE TELLING ME IM MISSING ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER WEEK OF THE MASKED SINGER BECAUSE OF A STUPID BASEBALL GAME???? This is why I hate sports."

For others, a lack of The Masked Singer on Wednesday night was enough to ruin their entire day.

Some baseball fans definitely jumped on the opportunity to poke fun at irate fans of The Masked Singer.

Other fans of The Masked Singer were only slightly annoyed by the switch-up — but absolutely enraged by the lack of explanation from the network.

One disgruntled viewer tweeted: "Would it really be that hard for @FOXTV to put out a message saying when The Masked Singer is going to be on? Quality channels seem capable of letting their viewers know what’s happening with scheduling."

Other viewers think Fox should just stop rescheduling the shows altogether.

"Here is an idea," one Twitter user wrote. "Maybe just maybe put all shows on hiatus until baseball season is over and you won't have so many pissed off fans."

Watch The Masked Singer on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on FOX.
