With just one episode of “The Masked Singer” left to go, now is a good time to look back at how well (or not) the four judges — Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke — have done to date at guessing the real identities of the celebrity contestants. Have you done better than them at figuring out which famous faces were hidden behind those elaborate masks?
The best guesser among the judges is Robin, who has correctly guessed four of the nine celebrities. He is followed closely by Nicole, who has gone three for nine. The worst guessers are Jenny and Ken, who have each managed to make just one correct guess so far. Not surprisingly, those two have embarrassed themselves with their inability to figure out who is behind the mask.
For Ken, it was when he didn’t recognize that the Poodle was his one-time co-star Margaret Cho (he thought it was Melissa Rivers). And Jenny just guessed that the Rabbit was her husband, Donnie Wahlberg, instead of one-time NSYNC member Joey Fatone.
