Grammy- and Tony-winning legend and a reality TV rebel are unmasked on 'Masked Singer'
It was another double elimination night on The Masked Singer Wednesday, which meant not one, but two mystery celebrities were forced to reveal their true identities.
First up was the Armadillo, who ended up being TV personality Duane Chapman, also known as Dog the Bounty Hunter. Following his unmasking, Chapman said that he was surprised when he learned he actually had to sing on The Masked Singer.
"I saw the first season, and I was like, man, they are having fun," explained Chapman. "And then when I got here, they said, 'You gotta sing.' I'm like, 'What? Sing? I don't even sing in the shower.'" While Dog the Bounty Hunter not being disguised as a dog was a little disappointing, nothing disappointed the viewers more than the elimination of Miss Teddy, who turned out to be an icon.
Grammy- and Tony-winning legend Jennifer Holliday, who is best known for her career starter Dreamgirls, shared, "I believe that it was destined to be. From you all's very first season, my fans have been trying to guess as if it were me, and so I think they have kind of brought me here for this. So I was thinking about my fans, who have given me so much love and support."
Viewers and the celebrity panelists thanked the legendary singer and actress for appearing on The Masked Singer and, in the end, Jennifer made everyone's Holliday when she closed out the show with an encore performance.
