The celeb under the mask tells EW he thought “the show was so stupid” at first.
“Like, why would anybody even want to be on this?
And then you realize that it’s actually a lot of fun.”

So I would send out a few tweets.
It was a show that was always on my radar.
And then you realize that it’s actually a lot of fun.
So I was kind of just waiting for my invitation.
And when they did, it just kind of worked out.
It’s funny you mention them guessing you in the past none of the panelists guessed you.
But I saw people calling it immediately on Twitter in your first episode.
Did that surprise you?
Which is also reason why I incorporated the British accent to kind of throw an extra twist in there.
But it’s not a good British accent it’s sort ofSpinal Tap, right?
Very Johnny DeppPirates of the Caribbean, Keith Richards knock off.
And of course, I didn’t really say anything either way.
So that kind of frustrates people even more.
With the format this season, you actually lasted longer than most.
Were you sad to leave?
Honestly, I was pissed.
I was not happy.
And it was the studio audience votes that got it.
And I was like, “This is why you never let the fans be in charge.”
[Laughs] Because I thought my performance was killer.
It was a lot of fun, to be honest with you.
I thought we had a lot that we could do with the Bride costume and character.
It’s very hot inside, too.
So we kind of had to figure out how to make that work.
I’m gonna be stuck in this costume.
How are you gonna get me out?
But you figure it out.
It was a work in progress because the costumes are so well-made and sculpted and designed.
There’s no peripheral vision.
I can’t see anything.
All it’s possible for you to see is the front.
For me to turn my head, I had to turn the whole body around.
So [watching it now] is like, oh, wow, that’s interesting.
Another check off the bucket list.
Which did you enjoy more: Comedy Roast Night or Hall of Fame Night?
When you find out that George Clinton was one of them, it’s like, oh my gosh.
Well, there you go.
So that was obviously much more fun.
That really bugged me.
So I wasn’t as happy that night as I was the first time I actually got the victory.
It’s pretty funny.I didDancing With the Starsabout 10 years ago and that was really hard.
What’s going to be next?
I don’t know, the celebrity magician?
And I thinkThe Masked Singerwas such a blast.
And it is weird.
There’s days and days of rehearsal prior to it.
So I’d be open to do anything.
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
