The Masked Singer Season 8 Episode 4 reveals two more celebrities

October 20, 2022

SPOILER ALERT: Don’t read ahead if you haven’t watched “The Masked Singer” Season 8 Episode 4, “TV Theme Night,” which airs October 19 on Fox.

After a rain delay that forced baseball’s prime-time playoffs last week, the latest edition of ‘The Masked Singer’ finally aired on Fox a week later – and viewers finally got to see Mario Cantone kinda disappointed to be gone so soon after an episode of the Show. Still, he found solace in the fact that he was in good company: Singing icon Gloria Gaynor was also revealed in the latest double-masking on “The Masked Singer,” as Wednesday night’s episode of the show was celebrating “Andrew Lloyd Webber Night”.

Cantone was revealed to be in Maize’s costume, while Mermaid was Gaynor. Of the three performances this week, La Cantone was the first to go, with the fewest votes.

Later, Gaynor was unmasked as a mermaid after facing off against Robo Girl in a battle royal (in which the two took turns singing the “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”, from “Evita”). Robo Girl has won and is on to next week’s episode.

“I thought I sang the hell out of that song. But also, you know, Gloria Gaynor got rejected, so I think I was in really good company,” Cantone said. “She’s amazing. This helps to heal the wound a bit. Cantone still said he was glad he did the show, “People give me certain shows like this, and I just don’t do them. But I really liked this one. It’s a lot of work, but if you’re a singer and you’re a musician, it’s definitely easier than I had on my side.

“Andrew Lloyd Webber Night” opened with judge Nicole Scherzinger singing “Memory” by the “Cats” songwriter. This was followed by Judge Ken Jeong serenading Webber (who was there to serve as a guest panelist) with “Phantom of the Opera”.

For Maize, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg was right with Mario Cantone. Robin Thicke guessed Nathan Lane. Nicole Scherzinger cast Jonathan Groff. Ken Jeong thought it was Bowen Yang. Guest judge Andrew Lloyd Webber thought it was Jack White.

As for Mermaid, Robin Thicke got it right with Gloria Gaynor and Nicole Scherzinger agreed. Ken Jeong said Cher. Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg chose Roberta Flack. Andrew Lloyd Webber chose another Gloria, Gloria Estefan.

Given his Broadway chops, Cantone said having an Andrew Lloyd Webber party was a no-brainer for him. “Ot was difficult and scary, but at the same time it was really smooth because there are a lot of people helping you and doing everything they can to make it easy and doable for you. And the staff were incredible. The producers, the music director Miguel Allison, who was the vocal coach, and then I have my husband Jerry Dixon, who is a Broadway singer. He was the one who picked the song for me, as soon as we found out that it was an Andrew Lloyd Webber night. We rehearsed it at home and he did a lot of musical rehearsals for me.

Gloria Gaynor as Mermaid and Mario Cantone as Maise join Daymond John as Fortune Teller, Barry Williams/Christopher Knight/Mike Lookinland as 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 as celebrities revealed on “The Masked Singer” in Season 8.

Multiple eliminations in an episode are the norm this time around, as “The Masked Singer” adopts a new “King or Queen of Masked Singer” format. This season, three or four costumed celebrities will perform each week, but only one will win and compete against two or three other people the following week.

This will continue throughout the season, as after each round three finalists will face off in the semi-finals. The Harp survived Round 1 and is the first to advance to the semi-finals.

“The Masked Singer” enters Season 8 with costumes such as “Bride”, “Avocado”, “Venus Fly Trap”, “Sir Bugaboo”, “Scarecrow”, “Hedgehog”, “Mommies”. Themed episodes include “Vegas Night”, “Comedy Roast”, “Hall of Fame”, “Muppets Night”, “Andrew Lloyd Webber Night”, “TV Themes”, “’90s Night”, “Thanksgiving” and “Fright Night “. “Guests this season include 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.
