Rules are rules, though, and the adorable marine mammal had to unmask.

What are you working on?
JOEY LAWRENCE:No worries.
So we’re shooting aMistletoe 2, which will be out next Christmas.
Were there any discussions to do it together, or would you have considered doing that?
I certainly would have.
So it just made sense.
It’s this kind of burgeoning relationship with Fox.
In the spirit of ’90s week, what is your wildest Hollywood memory from that decade?
Look, the ’90s were a great time.
So we had to get up and do things.
Music was great, movies were great.
I really feel like as young people we really had it pretty amazing.
You know, I look at these kids today, and I have a couple of teenagers.
And it’s just not as cool as it was.
It’s just not.
And I think that’s why there’s such a desire and interest in the ’90s.
Diesel with the wide leg jeans, I mean, these things are exploding again.
We had all those 25 years ago.
I mean, it’s crazy.
The positive outlook is not the same.
Everything’s sort of negative now.
It’s just a different thing for young people, right?
And, speaking of the ’90s, Lance Bass was up there to give some of your clues.
Did you have any idea he’d be there?
It’s fun, man.
I’ve known Lance for years, and I know all those guys, so it’s cool.
Yeah, it was cool.
I didn’t know he was going to be up there.
They don’t want to be able to see what kind of person you are.
It’s crazy secretive, but I didn’t know he was gonna be up there.
It was fun to see him.
What was your favorite part of being onThe Masked Singer?
I have to ask about a potentialBlossomreboot.
What’s the latest update on that?
We’re talking about it.
It just depends on exactly what version of it we bring back to the air.
And those are the kind of internal conversations that we’re having right now.
I don’t want a different version of it.
But it’s in the works, and it’s on the books.
So, there’s a lot of great stuff in the works.
And I’m excited about all of it.
