“The NFL will call because they haven’t booked anyone for the halftime show next year.
I’m sure I’ll get a lot of calls,” the celebrity under the mask tells EW.

The Rock Lobster has jammed his way offThe Masked Singerstage literally.
HOWIE MANDEL:No, no, I’m a lone wolf.
I just got a call, and somebody said, “We want you to sing.
Howie Mandel.Phillip Faraone/FilmMagic
We want you to dance.”
And I said, “Yes.”
And then they said, “It’sThe Masked Singer, and you’ll be inside a lobster.”
But I think that I really shone and my singing is impeccable.
My dancing was… the other dancers couldn’t keep up.
But that didn’t stop me, because I’m a consummate professional.
What would you have wanted to sing next?
I have some originals.
But they don’t do that on that show.
And I’ve been writing my own music and choreographing my own moves.
And hopefully, enough people will see the episode and go, “Oh my God.”
I hope Ticketmaster has a wide enough bandwidth to handle a Howie Mandel singing and dancing tour.
But we’ll see.
So, what you’re saying is, you really need your own show, right?
And I’m sure I’ll get a lot of calls.
And maybe to replicate some of the musical numbers on the Academy Awards.
I’m expecting a lot of calls.
I’m just sitting here by the phone.
I’m pretty excited about what I did on the show.
And I know a lot of other people are going to be.
They just opened a thousand more for me.
Well there you go.
You’re no stranger to TV of course.
How didThe Masked Singerexperience compare to other TV shows you’ve worked on?
This experience was phenomenal.
I loved it on so many facets.
I love to sing and dance.
That’s what I do on TikTok.
And that’s what I love to do.
So they covered a lot of areas of my life to make me comfortable.
I mean, as comfortable as they could.
I did sweat a lot.
But the upside is I lost three pounds.
There was probably over a gallon of moisture inside that lobster suit in a two-minute song.
So maybe I set a record there, too.
But I like to self-moisturize, which I did.
Who would you like to see do the show next?
Oh, that’s not anything I would think about.
For me, it was just an opportunity for me to sing and dance.
But if I had to say who should do the show next, either Adele or Beyonce.
I mean, I’m just trying to think of people who are in the same league as me.
You don’t want any less than what I gave.
Either Adele or Beyonce.
That’s how I see myself.
What are you working on next that you’re excited about?
Well, the finale ofAmerica’s Got Talent: All-Starsis coming up.Canada’s Got Talentis coming up.
And then just to continue my singing and dancing, whether it’s on television or TikTok.
Speaking of your daughter, is your family going to be surprised tonight?
Do they know you did the show?
No, no, not tonight.
I didn’t even tell them to watch it.
They don’t know.
And hey don’t tell them.
My lips are sealed.
I’m not even going to watch.
I like to separate myself from when I do it.
So I’m going to tell them some time.
So that’s the plan.
