What will the clues reveal about Showbird's identity? Take a look below!
Footloose Night clues:
Clue: Music Box "Now, that’s more my vibe. Because back in 94, I was part of a hip-hop empire."
Voiceover Clue: "I always knew that if I had a chance to do something in front of the lights, I’d do something good with it. So when I got that chance, work became my entire life. I was married to it. But I couldn’t help but feel like maybe something was missing. Real love. The kind like Ren and Ariel found in Footloose. Then recently, I reconnected with an old friend bird, who unexpectedly became my love bird. Not you, Colton. He’s encouraged me to rekindle my first flame, one I gave up for two decades: Singing. But his love helped me find that carefree confidence again. Which led me here. So tonight, let’s here it for my baby. My love bird."
Who Can It Be Now Night clues:
Masked Ambassador: Joel McHale
Ambassador Voiceover: "I want to introduce you to a good friend, it’s Showbird, everyone."
"I laugh because that’s very true. I am jealous. And I know you’re a little bit out of your element but don’t worry. You’re going to be just fine."
Showbird Voiceover: "Honestly, I’m just as confused as you are. I mean, I never imagined all of this for myself. I was a total tomboy growing up and a total nerd. Legos, Comic-Con, the works. I thought I’d keep things a little more humble, low key. Modest. Not bearing my soul is some of the biggest blockbuster movies ever. Unlike Joel here."
Gift Clue: popcorn
The Masked Singer season 12 airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on Fox and streams the following day on Hulu.
