Yahoo Finance Baby Yoda, Move Over: ‘The Masked Singer’ Introduces a ‘Baby Alien’ Puppet Costume in Season 4
For “The Masked Singer,” this is the way. The smash hidden celebrity music competition has just revealed another first: “Baby Alien,” a puppet character sitting in a rocket — which is all, of course, a costume for one of this season’s contestants. Not only will the celebrity behind “Baby Alien” have to sing as usual, but the person inside the costume will have to operate the puppet as well.
Take that, Baby Yoda.
Fox aired a sneak preview of “The Masked Singer” Season 4 on Sunday night, and the show revealed all 16 of this year’s costumes — including Baby Alien, Crocodile, Broccoli, Gremlin, Mushroom, Jellyfish, Whatchamacalit, Lips, Squiggly Monster, Popcorn, Sun, Dragon, Giraffe, Seahorse, Snow Owls and Serpent.
As previously announced, Snow Owls represents the first duo in competition, under a two-headed costume.
“The Masked Singer” returns for Season 4 on Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 8 p.m., followed by the premiere of new series “I Can See Your Voice,” hosted by Ken Jeong.
Back are panelists Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke, as well as host Nick Cannon. “The Masked Singer” comes from executive producers Craig Plestis and Rosie Seitchik; James Breen is showrunner and EP.
“We were the first to wear masks,” Scherzinger said on the special. “With everything going on in the world right now, no one is on tour and everyone is on this show.”
“The Masked Singer” has been off the air since May, following the reveal of winner Kandi Burruss. The singer, Grammy-winning songwriter and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star has been unmasked as the Night Angel, the Season 3 winner of the hit Fox reality competition series.
