“The Masked Dancer” held their premiere special episode tonight after football on FOX. As the sister show to “The Masked Singer.” “Dancer” was a little different. Host Craig Robinson and panelists Ashley Tisdale, Brian Austin Green, Ken Jeoung and Paula Abdul give colorful commentary about each performance and they also got to hear their voices called “Word Up” where each contestant said one word as their clue.
Competing tonight as Group A was Exotic Bird, Tulip, Hammerhead, Disco Ball and Cricket. At the end of the night, Disco Ball was sent home. Disco Ball turned out to be rapper and actor Ice-T.
Clues – The J-Bone is referenced to his role in the movie Johnny Mnemonic. The Ice Tea drink is obvious to his celebrity name.
The Shark Fin is a nod to his character Finn on “Law & Order: SVU.”
“The Masked Dancer” returns Wednesday, January 6 on FOX.
