The Masked Singer Spoilers: Who Is The Peacock?
Fans keep guessing about the Masked Singer. Who is the Peacock?
instagram The Masked Singer spoilers! It's almost time for a new episode of The Masked Singer, a celebrity talent competition on Fox. The twist on this is that everyone performs with their faces hidden by elaborate masks. Well, elaborate costumes. The performers all look like wild sports mascots who can sing.
Judges Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke all watch the performances and have to guess the identities of the singer. They’re working off performance styles and clues the each singer drops about their personality and career.
So far, four singers have been unmasked. Judges thought they were going to see Shaqille O’Neill when the Hippo’s mask came off but it was Steeler’s receiver Antonio Brown instead. When it came time for the Pineapple to show his face, the popular guess was Jim Carrey. But Carrey’s ex Jenny McCarthy knew better: she figured out that it was Tommy Chong on stage.
For the Deer, at first, the judges had mixed guesses, until Robin noticed how the Deer laughed with his shoulders saying how it was very specific to Terry Bradshaw's laughing style — which he ended up guessing correctly. When it was the Poodle's turn to unmask itself, the judges were all way off guessing from Kathy Griffin to Jillian Michaels. But they discovered it was Margret Cho.
Who is the Peacock on The Masked Singer? We don’t know who will be revealed next but fans are already making guesses. In the mean time, see our guesses about the Rabbit, the Unicorn, the Poodle, the Alien, the Raven and the Bee!
1. Clues
The clue video for the Peacock was loaded with information. He says he’s been performing since he was five years old. He was friends with Michael Jackson. He alludes to be a heartthrob whose “posters were on your mom’s wall.” The judges commented that his whole video had a Vegas vibe to it, which was a clue in and of itself.
In episode 3, we learn that Peacock had "many different incarnations" in his career. He is seen as "a little teeny bopper, but there's more than meets the eye." He also revealed that he has been in dramatic acting roles and confirmed that he performed in Vegas.

2. Judge guesses
Robin Thicke didn’t seem convinced by the Vegas flourishes and thought it might be Zac Efron or Jimmy Kimmel. Jenny McCarthy went with Hugh Jackman, or Liberace "if he was alive”. Ken Jeong thought it might be Teller of Penn & Teller.
With the recent clues and performance, Robin believes the celebrity could be a magician, like Criss Angel or David Copperfield. Nicole believes that it could be David Hasselhoff. Once the Peacock confirmed to the judges that he has performed in Vegas, Robin shouted out Tom Jones.
