Who’s behind the mask? FOX premieres “The Masked Singer” tonight on FOX. Hosted by Nick Cannon, with panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke, “The Masked Singer” is a top-secret celebrity singing competition that will have everyone asking, “who’s behind the mask?!” Based on an international format, the series features celebrities facing off against one another with one major twist: each singer is shrouded from head to toe in an elaborate costume, complete with full face mask to conceal his or her identity. With each performance, the host, panelists, audience, viewers and even the other contestants are left guessing who is singing behind the mask.

One singer will be eliminated by the audience and judges each week, based on their performance, and will then reveal his or her true identity. It’s not a “whodunit,” it’s a “whosungit!” 

Cannon, as proved on “America’s Got Talent” is a great host but I’m still not sure about the panelists. What they will contribute I still can’t tell after watching the two episode screeners. 

Two of the celebrities were obvious to me and I can’t wait to see if I’m right. I sense the guessing will be more satisfying than the reveal. 

“The Masked Singer” premieres Wednesday, January 2 at 9:00 p.m. on FOX.
