About ‘The Masked Singer’

The Emmy Award-nominated singing competition features host Nick Cannon, alongside fan-favorite panelists Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke and Rita Ora.

The top-secret singing competition series is based on the South Korean format created by Mun Hwa Broadcasting Corp. During the show, celebrities face off against one another while shrouded from head to toe in an elaborate costume, concealing his or her identity.

With each performance, the host, panelists, audience, viewers and even the other contestants are left guessing who is singing behind the mask. The singers may attempt to throw off the crowd, but observers might pick up on tiny clues buried throughout the show. Each week, a singer is eliminated -- and then reveals his or her true identity.

You can catch up on previous episodes of "The Masked Singer" on Hulu, FOX.com, Tubi and On Demand.
