Rudy Giuliani has been unmasked as a contestant on The Masked Singer. His presence on the stage at a taping last week upset two of the show’s judges, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke, so much that they left the set with cameras still rolling, Deadline reports. Nicole Scherzinger and Jenny McCarthy, the other two judges on the show, remained in their seats and reportedly chatted with Giuliani. Set to air next month, the episode was the first of the show’s season, meaning the former New York City mayor likely can’t hit the right notes. The show has courted similar controversy before, casting Sarah Palin in 2020 and having her perform in a bear costume. In 2019, Sean Spicer competed on Dancing With the Stars, eliciting outcry from critics who said the show was allowing him to launder his reputation after leaving Donald Trump’s administration.
