I want the Zoom audience ofMasked Singerto revote because this is unfair.
It’s a fraud.
I wish the world was more likeThe Masked Singer, in general!I know, I know.

It’s a difficult time.
That’s why I think it’s great that the show’s on tonight.
And I’m onI Can See Your Voiceas well, which is fun.
You’ve got to come on as a guest judge onThe Masked Singer."
And I’m in the middle of getting fitted for Squiggly.
How was the experience for you?It was a really fun experience to do it.
I didn’t want to get my head taken off that early though.
I got about five minutes of material out of it.
But I know things I would have done differently.
It’s hard to sing when you’re constrained in a diving helmet.
And that was a bummer that I didn’t get to do that.
But I also love the whole show.
It’s all hilarious to me.
On the show you said that the Squiggly Monster costume was an instant yes for you.
That’s usually the key.
It’s a joyous-looking thing.
It just had a feeling of a childish, loving kind of thing.
And he’s got lobster claws.
I mean, he’s such a hybrid of different creatures.
The only thing I wanted [to change] was I wanted the eyes to twirl.
I wanted all the little pupils to be able to move around.
I can’t imagine why they would say no to that.[Laughs.]
I know, why would they say that?
I mean, it’s a family show.
Why would they not allow me to have eyes for breasts?
I just don’t get it.
You were technically on the show last season in one of Taco’s clue packages.
At what point did you know you were doing the show yourself and didTaco a.k.a.
And then they started tweeting me it became a whole ordeal, but that was just silly.
It’s all funny, silly.
I didn’t think I’d be doingThe Masked Singerat all.
I’d been on the road and I’d been doing a TV show.
I was finishing something else.
And they kept asking me to do it which was very flattering.
I’ve known Craig Plestis, the executive producer, for a very long time.
And I’m doing it through my podcast in different ways.
I have to perform in a safe way.
Literally, there was not a beat.
Were you surprised to go home so soon?I still wanted to come back.
I was kind of surprised that I got booted, but then you immediately make an adjustment about it.
I was thinking that maybe there was a Zoom malfunction with the voting on it.
Maybe the mail-in votes were not tabulated correctly.
It wasn’t a competition, that’s the funny part about it.
Wayne Brady was there, which was nice.
I’ve known Wayne a long time.
It was just a nice feeling.
So I kind of had a feeling that he knew, because I’ve known him for years.
So, it felt good to be there.
I was looking forward to going, “It’s me!
It’s Bob!”
Brad Garrett was a good guess.
I didn’t even get some of the clues, like the chocolate chip cookies.
I guess that’s fromFull House?
Yeah, what was that about?Yeah, I wasn’t sure what that meant.
I still don’t know, but I think it has to do withFull House.
And the penguin was for a movie I made calledFarce of the Penguinsthat I directed and wrote.
They did stand-up clues that made sense.
He wasn’t talking to me.
It’s the audience that votes, and that’s what a democracy is.
I accepted the results.
I did not yell out, “I do not accept these results!
And I don’t want to hear from any more of the audience voting.”
Well, thank you for that, Bob.
That’s you onThe Masked Singer, isn’t it?"
I know how you dance.
I know how you sing.
Oh my god, I can’t believe you’re onThe Masked Singer.
Oh my God!"
We signed a legal document.
And thenJohn Stamosknew because he was gonna be a clue in the week after, had I continued.
I’m sad we missed out on that opportunity, then!
Any chance you’ll share the video Candace sent you?I don’t know.
She said I could.
I mean, I’ve got a lot of pictures.
They can’t use my name anywhere.
“SM, over this way.”
I don’t listen to that.
I don’t move.
And I kept saying okay, who’s Jellyfish?
I don’t know.
I was trying to hear them warm up, because we all warmed up.
They really work with you.
So I heard almost nothing.
I’m in a salad bowl.
This is bizarre."
But I truly loved it.
I’m kind of achy because it was hard.
The head was the whole thing.The rest of the body is a cakewalk.
You don’t have the endurance of that chrome dome.
It was really funny, and I’m glad people will have a good laugh at it.
We need distractions right now as much as we can.
