‘The Masked Singer’ reveals the Walrus and Milkshake’s identity, Here are the stars behind the masks

Whoa! The revelation of 1990s heartthrob Joey Lawrence, of the hit songs “Blossom,” “Gimme a Break,” and “Nothin’ My Love Can’t Fix” fame, on the special Sunday “’90s Night” episode of Fox’s “The Masked Singer” was entirely appropriate. The most recent double masking on the show featured Lawrence and NFL running back Le’Veon Bell.

With the fewest votes, Lawrence, the Walrus, was the first to be eliminated. After competing against incumber champions Lambs in a battle royale (during which both performers alternated singing Haddaway’s “What Is Love”), Bell was later revealed to be the Milkshake. The Lambs advance to the episode of the following week after winning for the second straight episode.

Tag Team’s DC Glenn and Steve Rolln performed their 1993 anthem “Whoomp! (There It Is)” to kick off “’90s Night” (as also seen in recent years on a Geico commercial).

Robin Thicke was right about Joey Lawrence for the Walrus. Scott Wolf was what Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg mistook for (who lived in her home for seven years, she added). Mario Lopez was chosen by Nicole Scherzinger. In Ken Jeong’s mind, John Stamos was present.

No one got Milkshake right, either. Deshaun Jackson was mistaken for Robin Thicke. T.I. was given by Nicole Scherzinger. “LL Cool J,” stated Ken Jeong. DJ Jazzy Jeff was chosen by Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg.

Along with Kat Graham as Robo Girl, Jerry Springer as the Beetle, Gloria Gaynor as the Mermaid, and Le’Veon Bell as the Milkshake, The Season 8 episode “The Masked Singer” featured Mario Cantone as Maise, Daymond John as the Fortune Teller, Barry Williams, Christopher Knight, and Mike Lookinland as the Mummies, Montell Jordan as Panther, Jeff Dunham as Pi-Rat, Chris Kirkpatrick as the Hummingbird, Eric Idle as the Hedgehog, and William Shatner as the Knight.

This season, “The Masked Singer” uses a new “King or Queen of Masked Singer” structure, making many eliminations in a single episode the norm. Each week, three to four celebrities will perform in costume, but only one will be chosen to advance to the following week’s competition against two to three more contestants.

Three finalists will participate in the semi-finals following each round, which will continue throughout the entire season. The Harp is the first to advance to the semifinals after surviving Round 1.

With costumes including “Bride,” “Avocado,” “Venus Fly Trap,” “Sir Bugaboo,” “Scarecrow,” “Hedgehog,” and “Mummies,” “The Masked Singer” starts Season 8 this year. Vegas Night, Comedy Roast, Hall of Fame, Muppets Night, Andrew Lloyd Webber Night, TV Themes, ’90s Night, Thanksgiving, and ‘Fright Night’ are just a few of the themed programmes. Donny Osmond, Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Muppets, Will Arnett, Leslie Jordan, Joel McHale, Tori Spelling, Jon Lovitz, Jodie Sweetin, Carrot Top, Blue Man Group, Lance Bass, Danielle Fishel, Sheila E., and Drew Carey are just a few of the celebrities who will be appearing this season as guests.

A total of 32 Grammy nominations, 16 Emmy wins, 8 gold albums, 4 Golden Globe nominations, 42 books, 10 Teen Choice awards, and 5 stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame can be found among the Season 8 finalists.

To tell my story, let’s take it back to the ‘90s. It all started when I tap danced on the desk of a late night talk show legend. That was just the beginning of my heartthrob origins story. Picture this: Flannel shirt, leather jacket, floppy hair. A killer zip code, and a catch phrase that’s still permanently cemented into pop culture. But every teen idol has to grow up. So I took on new roles and introduced myself to a whole new generation of screaming fans. So tonight, I’m warning you now, your mom and you are about to totally freak out.”

He handed me the ball cuz I never drop it. After that day I took off like a rocket. Try and knock me down, you best not be soft. Call me Taylor Swift man, cuz I milk-shake it off.
