Poodle Moth performs during "TV Theme Night" on 'The Masked Singer' season 11

Tonight on The Masked Singer will feature our first second round of performances of the season. The remaining three masks of Group C will take to the stage again for "TV Theme Night," joined by the first Wildcard performer of the season. 

With the judges getting another set of songs and round of clues from the celebs, their guesses are starting to solidify. And for the always-audacious Ken Jeong, as seen in the clip below, he believes "Poodle Moth" may be hiding an Emmy winner and two-time Oscar nominee.

After another song from the furry star, Ken spreads his wings off a clue that references the TV show Gilmore Girls. And so he puts forward a guess of Melissa McCarthy. The actress and comedian not only played Sookie St. James in the hit show of the 2000s, but she also recently showed off her chops as Ursula in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.

Of course, no one would know Melissa McCarthy better than her own family. Luckily, we happen to have one sitting right next to Ken on the judges' panel. Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg is Melissa's cousin, and actually helped her get her start on TV back in the '90s on her MTV sketch series The Jenny McCarthy Show. This wouldn't even be the first time someone from Jenny's family tree has been on The Masked Singer, as her husband, former New Kid on the Block Donnie Wahlberg, appeared back in season 5, giving viewer clues as the mysterious "Cluedle-Doo."

Despite past precedent, Jenny is confident that Poodle Moth is not Melissa (or, as she calls her, "Missy"). Instead, she goes in a different direction with the Gilmore Girls clue, suggesting star Lauren Graham. Though most known for her roles on that and Parenthood, she has also appeared in Broadway musicals and even lent her vocals on Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist.

Check out the clip above for the full sneak peek. The Masked Singer season 11 airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on FOX.
