We got a double helping ofThe Masked Singerthis week.
After season 3 premiered following theSuper Bowlon Sunday and unmasked its first ousted celeb, which turned out to beLil Wayne underneath a robot costume,the show slid into its regular time slot on Wednesday night.
Group A’s remaining five contestants — Llama, White Tiger, Miss Monster, Kangaroo and Turtle — took the stage again as they make their way down to three singers who will move on to the finals. PanelistsJenny McCarthy,Ken Jeong,Nicole ScherzingerandRobin Thickecontinued to guess which stars might be under theintricate disguises, and actor Jason Biggs joined them as a guest judge.

After each performance, hostNick Cannonasked each masked competitor which superlative they would receive in the Masked Academy.
At the end of the night, the studio audience voted on their favorite performance, leaving the singer in last place to get unmasked. The Llama found himself in the bottom spot after singing “It’s Not Unusual.” Right before Llama removed his mask, the panelists suggested Adam Carolla,Kelsey Grammer,Johnny KnoxvilleorWoody Harrelsonmight be under the four-legged getup, so they were shocked whenDrew Careyappeared.

“I love you to death,” Jeong told the actor-comedian once he revealed his identity. Biggs added that he’s admired thePrice Is Righthostfor a “very, very, very long time.”
As for why Carey, 61, did the show, he explained, “The show looked like a lot of fun and I like having a goof and a lot of laughs, that’s why. This is a great show, man. I had a blast.”
