Ken Jeong's Hilarious Blunder on 'The Masked Singer' Unveiled: 'Don't Mock Me' (Exclusive)

Ken Jeong has made some interesting guesses on The Masked Singer in the past, but Robin Thicke believes he may have crossed the line this time.

In a sneak peek of the upcoming episode on Wednesday, March 13, Jeong suggested that The Beets could be the legendary duo K-Ci & JoJo, whom he considers one of his favorite duos of all time. Thicke seems to think that this guess may be a bit too far-fetched.

The audience started booing loudly, but Jeong didn't let it affect him. He confidently said, "Stop laughing at me! I truly believe in what I'm doing!"

Host Nick Cannon didn't hold back either, telling Jeong, "This isn't a K-Ci & JoJo performance, so take it seriously!"

Thicke, who is 47 years old, commented, "This could possibly be one of the worst guesses ever." Fans are aware that this is significant, considering Jeong has guessed in the past that former President Barack Obama was the person behind the mask.

New season 11 panelist Rita Ora shared her own guess for The Beets, and her costars thought it sounded much more reasonable than Jeong’s.

Ora, 33, mentioned that if she were to pursue comedy, she would be interested in joining the podcast 'SmartLess' hosted by Will Arnett and Jason Bateman, who are known for playing brothers in Arrested Development. She expressed her admiration for the duo.

While Nicole Scherzinger takes on the role of Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard musical on London’s West End, Ora is temporarily filling in as a judge on the show alongside Jeong, Thicke, and Jenny McCarthy. The production will make its way to Broadway later this year, with Scherzinger returning to reprise her role.

Rita Ora is the newest addition to the panel on the show, making her the first celebrity to join in the history of the show. However, she is no stranger to the Masked Universe as she has been a host on The Masked Singer UK since 2020. In the most recent season, season 5, which just ended last month, she was there to see Danny Jones (Piranha) win the Golden Mask trophy.

The Beets costume wearer's identity is still a mystery. However, we can confirm that it's not Kevin Hart. Last week, Hart, who is 44 years old, surprised his friend Nick Cannon, 43, by revealing himself as the character Book.

Hart playfully exclaimed, "I got you, Nick! That was a prank, you didn't see it coming!" He had just finished singing a Ne-Yo song. "And guess what, Nick? You can't do anything about it!"

Cannon, on the other hand, jokingly commented, "This is so silly. That was probably the worst performance we've ever had on this show! What do you think about that?"

The Masked Singer airs on Fox Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Editor's P/S:

Ken Jeong's bold guess that The Beets on "The Masked Singer" could be K-Ci & JoJo has sparked controversy among the panelists. Despite the audience's disapproval and Thicke's skepticism, Jeong remains confident in his deduction. His past outlandish guess of Barack Obama as a contestant adds to the intrigue, making this moment both entertaining and potentially groundbreaking.

Rita Ora's guest appearance as a judge brings a fresh perspective to the panel. Her reasonable guess regarding The Beets highlights the diverse range of musical knowledge among the judges. While the identity of the Beets remains a mystery, the show continues to captivate viewers with its blend of speculation, musical performances, and celebrity reveals. The upcoming episode promises further surprises and unexpected twists as the panelists work together to uncover the hidden identities behind the masks.
