The Masked Dancer | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

The Masked Dancer wrapped up its first ever season by crowning the first champion!

The show – which featured judges Paula Abdul, Ken Jeong, Brian Austin Green and Ashley Tisdale, and host Craig Ferguson – featured celebrity contestants shaking their tail feathers, while covered from head to toe in elaborate costumes and face masks, leaving audiences to guess their identities.

The costumed celebrities were joined on stage by masked partners and back-up dancers, as they perform a series of dances together, spanning from hip-hop to salsa, jazz to tap dancing and more.

After unmasking a handful of celebrities last month, it was time to unveil the top three – the Tulip, the Sloth and Cotton Candy!

The Masked Dancer just unmasked its latest celebrity and it’s not who anyone was expecting!

The Exotic Bird was the latest costume to say goodbye to the freshmen series, as judges Ken Jeong, Brian Austin Green, Ashley Tisdale and Paula Abdul, and guest judge Mayim Bialik, placed their bets on who it was underneath.

Paula and Ashley guessed Jordin Sparks, while Ken thought it was Jennifer Hudson. Brian placed his guess as model Ashley Graham; and Mayim was sure it was Eve.

Previous guesses also included Kat Von D, Dita Von Teese, Kate Upton, Hope Solo, and Megan Thee Stallion.

The one word clues for Exotic Bird included “Scored”, “Circus” and “Number One”.

The Masked Dancer is back on tonight (January 13), and we’re so excited to see who will be un-masked next!

The reality competition TV series, which is a spin-off from Fox’s highly successful The Masked Singer format, finds celebrities competing in masks concealing their identities until they are eliminated and revealed, with viewers and judges guessing who they are along the way.

On this show, the celebs are paired with “masked partners,” showing off their different dance moves in front of a panel of judges: Paula Abdul, Ken Jeong, Brian Austin Green and Ashley Tisdale. Craig Robinson hosts the show. Actress Mayim Bialik will serve as a guest panelist. Fun fact: the show’s concept actually started because of a spoof by Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show!

The show kicked off on December 27, and after the first week’s episode, the Disco Ball was eliminated…who turned out to be rapper and actor Ice-T!

When it comes to dance styles, the sky is the limit.

The Masked Dancer has officially found its host and panelist of celeb judges!

It was announced on Wednesday (October 28) that Craig Robinson will be hosting the upcoming mystery dance competition series heading to Fox this winter.

The Masked Singer judge Ken Jeong will be heading up the new panel of judges alongside Paula Abdul, Ashley Tisdale, and Brian Austin Green.

“We’ve begun filming The Masked Dancer with incredible new talent on both sides of the mask, and can’t wait to share the series with viewers,” Rob Wade, president of alternative entertainment at Fox, said in a statement. “Craig Robinson is hilarious as always in his role as host, and Ken, Brian, Ashley and Paula are the perfect blend of personalities to lead our awesomely weird world of masks into a whole new genre!”

Much similar to The Masked Singer, The Masked Dancer will see celebrity contestants perform unique dances in elaborate costumes and masks.

A spinoff for Fox’s popular celeb competition series, The Masked Singer, is coming!

The Masked Dancer is based on a segment from The Ellen Show and Ellen DeGeneres will be producing.

“We’re still blown away by The Masked Singer‘s massive impact on pop culture, but when Ellen debuted her own inventive segment, The Masked Dancer on her show, we were truly amazed,” Rob Wade, president of Alternative Entertainment and Specials at Fox Entertainment, shared in a statement. “We are thrilled to partner with Ellen on this new format and take The Masked Dancer to a whole new creative level.”

“This is gonna be just as fun and suspenseful as The Masked Singer, but with a lot more Krumping,” Ellen added “And I cannot wait!”

The Masked Dancer, much like Masked Singer, will see celebrity contestants perform unique dances in elaborate costumes and masks.
