“The Masked Singer” is a reality singing competition television series that premiered on Fox in 2019. The show got its start in South Korea and features celebrities singing songs while wearing head-to-toe costumes and face masks concealing their identities.
Numerous celebrities have appeared during the show’s eight seasons including Nick Lachey, LeAnn Rimes, T-Pain, Donny Osmond, Wayne Brady, Jewel, Nick Carter, Tommy Chong, Kaitlyn Jenner, Sarah Palin, Kelly Osbourne and many more.
You can now add Chris Jericho to that list.
The FOZZY frontman and AEW star appeared on the show concealed as a giant pink dragon in a wedding dress.
Jericho commented on his appearance on social media: “It’s a story as old as time itself. Small town boy has big dreams of singing @smashmouth tunes, while becoming a pink dragon in a wedding dress accompanied by @sheilaedrummer on a nationally televised singing show. Follow your dreams kids…. @MaskedSingerFOX #Bride”
Jericho also talked at length about his appearance with Entertainment Weekly.
“Well, I mean, it’s pretty much on the checklist of everybody’s goals and thoughts, right?” he told EW.com.
“You know, small town boy goes on to become giant pink dinosaur in wedding dress on singing show, the story as old as time itself. It’s funny, because I’ve been kind of part of the show’s universe, because there’s been a couple times when people have guessed me over the years, like I know Jenny [McCarthy-Wahlberg] guessed me maybe last season or two seasons ago.”
“And I think one of the producers asked me to kind of roll with it a bit. So I would send out a few tweets. It was a show that was always on my radar. And at first, I thought the show was so stupid, like, why would anybody even want to be on this? And then you realize that it’s actually a lot of fun. So I was kind of just waiting for my invitation. I figured if people are guessing that it’s me, and because they’re asking me to tweet about it, sooner or later they’ll actually call me to get involved. And when they did, it just kind of worked out.”
Jericho went on to say he was disappointed to be eliminated from the show, even though his appearance lasted longer than most of the contestants who appear.
“Honestly, I was p*ssed,” he said. “I was not happy. And it was the studio audience votes that got it. And I was like, ‘This is why you never let the fans be in charge.’ [Laughs] Because I thought my performance was killer. And it was one of those things where there were other songs that had been rehearsed, and all that sort of thing.”
“So it was something that I was kind of angry about, but that’s just because I’m a professional and I don’t like to lose. It was a lot of fun, to be honest with you. I thought we had a lot that we could do with the Bride costume and character. Because it’s so hard to maneuver, and I was just really figuring it out, because it really is a full-on bodysuit, and it’s very heavy. It’s very hot inside, too.”
