Group C contestants took the stage on “The Masked Singer” Wednesday night for “TV Theme Night.” After singing their hearts out for panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong and Rita Ora, Sir Lion and Lizard landed in the bottom two while Poodle Moth and Clock sailed into the next round. In the end, Sir Lion was forced to unmask revealing TV and radio personality Billy Bush. Watch his reveal above.

“If you can’t get em with the lips, get em with the hips,” the “Extra” anchor told host Nick Cannon during his unmasked interview. “I tried to distract a little bit. Don’t look too closely!” When asked what he’d like to say to his fans he responded, “If you’ve never done something that’s a little on the scary side — this is scary, I’m shakin’ back there — say yes! Do it! I had a ball.”

Prior to his performance Sir Lion revealed in his clue package, “”Every good night of television deserves a twist, so what better role for me to play than the wildcard. Like the king of the jungle, I come from a well-known pride, but never took it for granted. I jumped through hoops to become a ringleader in Hollywood, rubbing elbows with everyone from Tom Cruise to Tom Hanks, but in show business, the higher you climb, the harder you fall. Luckily, lions are fierce and I’ve landed on my feet no matter what this town throws my way. In Hollywood, success and struggle go together like a horse and carriage. Now get ready to fall in love with this lion.” Visual clues included a radio, ticket stubs, an anchor, a photo of Jerry Seinfeld on a hot air balloon, a photo of Rockefeller Plaza and a cannon.

Billy Bush was the fourth celebrity revealed this season following Kevin Hart as BookSavannah Chrisley as Afghan Hound and Joe Bastianich as Spaghetti & Meatballs.
