The Masked Singer: 2 Stars Get Unmasked — Who Was Behind the Penguin and Black Widow Costumes?

After a two-week hiatus thanks to the World Series, The Masked Singer returned on Wednesday with a two-hour episode. And to make up for lost time, the competition unmasked two celebrities at the end of the night.

All 11 remaining contestants took the stage on Wednesday and kept judges Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke guessing as to who might be under the disguises. Host Nick Cannon did his best to facilitate obtaining more information from the singers by asking them after their performances for one more hint.

One contestant got the boot after the first six participants — Rottweiler, Ladybug, Tree, Penguin, Flower and Fox — performed. The studio audience deemed Penguin’s version of Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” as their least favorite of the initial six performances and Penguin was unmasked as TV host and comedian Sherri Shepherd.

“My son Jeffrey said, ‘Mommy, you should do this!’ ” Shepherd, 52, said after removing her penguin head. “And I said, ‘I’m scared.’ And he goes, ‘You should just do it scared.’ So I did!”

Anthony Anderson joined the judges to assess the next five singers: Black Widow, Thingamajig, Butterfly, Leopard (who proposed to Cannon!) and Flamingo. Flamingo might have gone on last, but McCarthy deemed her rendition of “Never Enough” from The Greatest Showman the “best performance so far.”

After each of their performances, the second batch of costumed singers also brought out a physical item from home that served as an additional clue. And at the end of the night, the audience voted Black Widow, who sang “Believe” by Cher, as their least favorite performer. The singer underneath the Penguin outfit turned out to be actress Raven Symoné, Anderson’s sister on Black-ish and one of the judges’ guesses from earlier in the evening.

“I’ve been in the music industry and the industry for a really long time and I said, ‘Oh my goodness, it would be awesome if I don’t have to see anybody, they can’t see me, I can be the person I am in the mirror,’ ” Symoné, 33, said after being unmasked.

For anyone who needs a refresher after two weeks without The Masked Singer, here’s who the newly-eliminated Shepherd and Symoné both join in the unmasked contestants pool: Late Show and Blues Brothers co-creator Paul Shaffer (Skeleton), TV and radio personality Dr. Drew Pinsky (Eagle), fighter Laila Ali (Panda), Olympic ice skater Johnny Weir (Egg) and videogame streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins (Ice Cream).
