AceShowbiz - "The Masked Singer" season 12 kicked off its "Sports Night" episode with a comedy roast from guest commentators Joel McHale and Nikki Glaser. In the Wednesday, October 16 episode, they poked fun at the show and its panelists, including Robin Thicke, Rita Ora, Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg.
Five new masks took the stage for Group B: Wasp, Chess Piece, Bluebell, Dust Bunny and Goo. They performed songs associated with sports, with each contestant receiving a pair of shoes as a clue. Wasp sang "Rock Your Body" by Justin Timberlake with Ne-Yo as his celebrity ambassador. Chess Piece performed "Believe" by Cher with Nikki Glaser as her ambassador.
Bluebell, meanwhile, sang "We Belong" by Pat Benatar with Kelly Osbourne as her ambassador. Goo performed "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims with Keenan Allen as his ambassador.
Dust Bunny sang "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond, but received the least amount of votes. After final guesses from the panelists, including Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Jay Leno and Chevy Chase, Dust Bunny's identity was revealed as comedian and actor Andy Richter. Richter admitted that the panelists were "too high on the call sheet" to correctly guess him.
The other four masks, Wasp, Chess Piece, Bluebell and Goo, advanced to the next round, which will be Barbie Night.
The episode also featured a boxing match between Thicke and Ora, with Ora emerging victorious. Cute teen photos of the panelists wearing sports outfits were shown.
