The Masked Singer is back for its triumphant FIFTH season (help) and it’s time to review all the poor souls who have voluntarily appeared on this wild show over the years. As a reminder: These unsung heroes (literally, as most of them *cannot* sing) bravely housed themselves inside a fleet of haunted costumes intent on destroying humanity. Their leader? A soulless creature from season 2 who simply goes by “Egg.”
Although we know the true identity of only one “celebrity” so far in season 5 (ahem, it’s a Muppet, I really don’t know if that counts), we do have a good sense of the characters we can expect to encounter. Highlights include: the Raccoon, the Russian Doll(s), and a figure who goes by Grandpa Monster. Yes, good idea, could someone please check on the executives at FOX? I’m worried. In the meantime, join me in paying homage to the A B C D-list celebrities featured on this show—here’s to hoping their therapy bills aren’t too high!

I love the Mouse’s costume and Dionne Warwick is a legend, so as far as I’m concerned, this was the greatest musical collaboration of all time. Next!

The Elephant: Tony Hawk
Tony Hawk emerging from that mask was truly a shock to my system. It’s like, just when you think this show can’t surprise you, a legendary skateboarder dresses in elephant cosplay. Will life ever be the same? Answer: No.

Miss Monster: Chaka Khan
Miss Monster is flawless, Chaka Khan is flawless, the end. Actually, I’m not done: The fact that she was voted off is insane, and I, for one, blame the Banana.

The Llama: Drew Carey
No man has ever been more confused than Drew Carey crawling out of that llama’s lifeless body. The image of his face emerging from a sack of fur will forever haunt me.

The Thingamajig: Victor Oladipo
Thanks to Thingamajig, I am now attracted to monster costumes. It goes without saying that I’ll be invoicing The Masked Singer directly for my therapy bills.

The Ladybug: Kelly Osbourne
I’m honestly very much here for Kelly Osbourne dressing as the Ladybug and joining the cast of this show. What I’m not here for is her costume, which I’m pretty sure is my sleep-paralysis demon.

The Black Widow: Raven-Symoné
In case you were wondering, no, I am not willing to refrain from making the world’s most obvious joke, so on that note: THAT’S SO RAVEN!!!!!

The Eagle: Dr. Drew Pinsky
I don’t know about you, but I think the American bald eagle deserves a public apology for this truly damaging brand moment. Also, great to see Dr. Drew putting his medical degree to good use!

Laila Ali can literally do no wrong in my eyes, so if she wants to spend her free time dressed as the Panda on The Masked Singer, then I am in full support. Live your life, live your truth, Laila Ali!

The Egg: Johnny Weir
I cannot even begin to describe the palpable relief I felt when the Egg cracked, if you will, and revealed himself to be Olympic skater Johnny Weir. Finally, I was free from my emotional prison, but I’ll never be free from the memories.

Season 1
The Monster: T-Pain
IDK who hurt T-Pain, but he spent weeks of his life hiding in a monster costume only to end up being crowned the winner of The Masked Singer season 1. Wow, what a thing to have on your Wikipedia page.

The Peacock: Donny Osmond
Donny strutted his stuff inside the Peacock so triumphantly that he claimed second place on this cursed show. I can only assume he’s no longer able to be around birds without bursting into tears.

The Bee: Gladys Knight
Gladys won third place during season 1, which means she was trapped in that costume for literal weeks just buzzing around (*laughs weakly*), desperately waiting to be eliminated.

The Rabbit: Joey Fatone
Remember when you were an innocent youth watching Joey Fatone dance his way through NSYNC and you were all, “Wow, this is what an A-lister looks like.” Yeah, well, Joey ended up stuffed into a rabbit costume made out of what I can only assume is the Easter Bunny’s literal skin.

The Lion: Rumer Willis
If you’d have told me last year that celebrity royalty Rumer Willis would be on this show, I’d have assumed you were lion to me. AHAAHAHAHAhahahahaah.*
*To be clear, this is the sound of me crying, not laughing.

The Alien: La Toya Jackson
The only thing more shocking than Donald Trump winning the 2016 election was La Toya Jackson, actual person with talent, doing this show and not even winning. I demand a recount.

The Raven: Ricki Lake
Honestly, Ricki Lake is exactly the type of celebrity I imagine when I think of The Masked Singer, so I have no problem with her emerging from the Raven’s body and ruining Edgar Allan Poe’s life’s work in the process.

The Unicorn: Tori Spelling
Fun fact: Jenny McCarthy suggested that Lauren Conrad might be lurking inside the Unicorn. Like, girl wouldn’t even go to Paris. You really think she’d be on The Masked Singer?

The Poodle: Margaret Cho
Upon being unmasked, Margaret Cho uttered a sentence that has haunted me for the better part of a year: “I liked the head, and I felt comfortable inside of it.”

The Deer: Terry Bradshaw
Has anyone checked on Super Bowl MVP Terry Bradshaw since he did this show? Because honestly, I’m not convinced his empty deer costume didn’t reanimate like some sort of horned corpse and attack him.
This content is imported from YouTube. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.
The Pineapple: Tommy Chong
The Pineapple was voted off thanks to a woefully weak performance of “I Will Survive.” Ironic due to Tommy not surviving this competition.

The Hippo: Antonio Brown
Not only did Antonio Brown agree to dance around in a hippo costume, but he was also voted off in the first episode. Truly, my heart bleeds for him.
