The Masked Singer: Anthony Anderson reveals identity after performing Come On Eileen as Rubber Ducky during season 10 premiere

Anthony Anderson revealed his identity after appearing as Rubber Ducky during the season 10 premiere of The Masked Singer on Fox on Wednesday.

The 53-year-old actor received the lowest score of the five acts that performed and was eliminated from the show.

Ken Jeong, 54, was the only panelist to correctly guess his identity and was shocked.

“It’s a Season 10 miracle,” Ken said. ‘I love you so much. You know how much I love you. It’s all about fun. You make me laugh so hard. Everything about you just screams pleasure.”

Blackish star Anthony wore a Rubber Ducky costume, an elaborate sequined fizzy duck in a bathtub, when he took the stage for the first time. He shared clues about his identity, including: a horror movie, a photo of Leonardo DiCaprio and a turtle.

“I’m croaking my way to the finals,” Rubber Ducky said before he was unmasked.

Rubber Ducky sang Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners as bubbles filled the air. The panelists stood up and sang along.

“This is the best performance of the night,” Ken said.

The show’s hosts, men in black, brought out a clue: a signed portrait photo of three ducks.

Robin Thicke, 46, thought it could be David Arquette because he was in a famous family. Jenny McCarthy, 50, thought it could be comedian Marlon Wayans.

Nicole Scherzinger, 45, suspected it could be Jaleel White from Family Matters.

After being unmasked, Anthony said it was the “most bizarre” thing he had ever done.

“I’m naked under these bubbles now,” Anthony said. ‘Don’t be fooled by the tights below the knees. I should never have lost! I should never have lost! Rubber duck here forever.’

Gazelle, who wore a giant animal mask decorated with colorful flowers, was the first singer to compete in the season’s indoor Golden Mask Trophy.

Her clues included performing in a national talent show, bulldogs, and a Hawaiian shirt. Gazelle took the stage and sang the song Uninvited by Alanis Morissette.

“Wow, that was amazing,” said host Nick Cannon, 42.

“You had complete control of that stage,” Nicole said.

Comedian David Spade, 59, who hosted a new Fox show called Snake Oil, came out to give a clue to a plaque that read “movie soundtrack.” Gazelle then said that she not only acts in films, but that she also sings in them.

“I’m getting the vibe of Riverdale actress Camila Mendes,” Jenny said. “Guess what the Riverdale mascot – bulldog and we saw the bulldog in the clue package.”

Robin thought it could be Lucy Hale, but Nicole thought it could be her “dear friend” Vanessa Hudgens.

Diver, dressed in deep-sea diving gear with an octopus wrapped around his head and body, took the stage. Diver said he made mistakes, but he did it out of love. His directions include a compass and a knight.

He then sang Journey’s hit Anyway You Want It. The crowd went crazy for him when he finished and chanted his name.

“Who is this bad boy?” Robin said.

The men in black pulled out a magazine that said “11 Million Divers.”

“Could this be Adam Levine?” Nicole said. “You know Adam a little bit in the doghouse, but he is without a doubt a great artist and singer.”

“And some people don’t like him,” Jenny said.

“This could only be the biggest star of 2023, Tom Sandoval,” Ken said. “Sandoval, if I can call you that, Sandoval is a great singer!”

Jenny thought it might be Scott Disick.

“He’s a neighbor,” Ken said. “Lives down the street, voice of an angel, salt of the earth.”

S’More came out smiling wearing a hat with a graham cracker marshmallow top. S’More’s clues included a tip jar, a Chicago pizza and a Christmas tree. S’More then took the stage and performed Niall Horan’s song Slow Hands, ending his performance by handing Nicole a skewer of marshmallows.

“You’re engaged,” Ken joked.

“That’s the sexiest s’more I’ve ever seen,” Nicole said as Jenny ate one of the marshmallows.

A clue was released that said “starring s’more.” Robin told Jenny, who was still eating the marshmallows, that he didn’t think they were real.

“It goes with every other part of my body,” Jenny joked.

Nicole thought it could be Joey McIntyre from New Kid on the Block, while Jenny thought it could be American Idol alum Justin Guarini.

“He has a great voice and he has such moves,” Jenny said.

Robin thought it might be Kevin Richardson of the Backstreet Boys.

Koe, dressed in a red dress and granny glasses, was the final singer. Cow shared clues about coffee, the 4th of July, Las Vegas and her winning Grammys, among other things. The Cow sang the Imagine Dragons song Bones.

“I think it’s a man,” Nicole said.

“It’s a guy!” Jenny said.

‘Holy cow!’ Nick said.

‘Astonishing!’ Nicole said. ‘You are an absolute professional because you stood on that stage effortlessly and you continue to go up.’

Cow’s clue was a movie ticket.

“One of the better things known about me all started with a joke,” said the Cow.

Jenny said she thought it was Shawn Stockman from Boyz II Men or “a little artist named” Usher. Nicole thought it was Leslie Odom Jr. could be who won a Grammy and starred in Hamilton.

“You better go back and hit the hay,” Nick said.

The Masked Singer returns next Wednesday on Fox.

Bishop Briggs, 31, won season nine of The Masked Singer in May after appearing as Medusa.

The Masked Singer premiered on Fox in January 2019 and T-Pain, 38, won the first season after appearing as Monster.
