The Masked Singer

How does The Masked Singer work?
The Masked Singer is a Fox reality series where celebrities engage in a singing competition while wearing elaborate, mascot-style costumes to shield their identity. Although the audience hears their real singing voice, their speaking voices are obscured as well as their faces. The show is based on a South Korean series called King of Mask Singer and first gained wide U.S. recognition when actor Ryan Reynolds appeared on the Korean version while doing press for Deadpool 2.
The U.S. series features host Nick Cannon and celebrity judges Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Jenny McCarthy, and Robin Thicke.
