Was being onThe Masked Singerinevitable?
MARIO CANTONE:No, but I was hoping they’d ask me because I love singing.
I love to sing.
I sing in my stand up; I have a band.
I started on Broadway.
So I really was happy to do it.
And it was an amazing experience.
I had the time of my life and it was really fun.
I got to sing for the panel and Andrew Lloyd Webber, what could be better than that?
Tell me about your experience on the show.
But I was robbed!
I unfortunately was eliminated.
I don’t know why.
But it was fine.
The accolades from the judges and Andrew Lloyd Webber was worth it all.
Did any of your famous costars know you were doing the show?
Who did you have sign NDAs?
No, just my husband [Broadway’s Jerry Dixon] knew.
My husband signed the NDA with me, and he came with me.
He helped me vocally with the song before we flew out to L.A. to do it all.
And then I worked with an incredible vocal coach.
They were all really amazing and helpful.
I don’t do many shows like this.
It’s a singing competition.
So I’m like, “Let’s go.”
Yes, and your costume in particular threw the judges off at first.
Tell me about that.
It’s Mae West as an ear of corn.
That’s how I looked at it.
They originally designed it as like a show girl.
So yeah, I loved the costume, although I got lost in it a few times.
It was very large in there.
What surprised you the most about doingThe Masked Singer?
What surprised me was that it was less scary than I thought it was gonna be.
Because you had so many people helping you through it, musically, psychologically.
But nothing was too surprising to me [in terms of] the the way it went.
It was a thrill.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you aboutAnd Just Like Thatseason 2… We just started filming it.
I just started last week.
What can fans expect?
I can’t tell you anything.
I can’t tell you nothing.
You want to see me at the bottom of the Hudson River in cement shoes?
No, I don’t think so.
We’re having a great time.
It’s our second season, and it’s very exciting.
I’m loving it.
I loved last year, I was thrilled with it.
And this year, it’s gonna be even better.
It’s going really well.
Will there be any more resolution to Stanford and Anthony’s story?
It’s very difficult, you know, and I was actually pleased with the way they did it.
We miss Willie so much.
It was a devastating loss last year.
It was really awful.
And you have to write on the fly and keep going, but we did.
That’s just how I am, so, I don’t know about that just yet.
I’m sure he’ll be talked about, though.
