Why ‘The Masked Singer’ Isn’t On Tonight
You might think this is new, but… The Masked Singer has a planned hiatus for the week. Fox had initially lined up a re-air of an episode from season 14, but switched plans to re-air something else.
A Special Cancer Awareness Show
So, instead of your usual Wednesday night viewing, there’s going to be a two-hour TV special called ‘The Real Full Monty’. This isn’t just any rerun; it’s an international format that first aired on the U.K.’s ITV in 2017. The show features six male celebrities performing striptease routines to raise awareness about prostate, testicular, and colorectal cancer.
A Tribute to James Van Der Beek
Not always. This special is dedicated to honoring James Van Der Beek, the Masked Singer season 13 contestant who recently passed away from colon cancer at 48. The show will feature an onscreen QR code that encourages viewers to donate to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance.
When Will ‘The Masked Singer’ Return?
At least, that’s the plan. You can rest easy knowing the show will be back next Wednesday, February 25th, for Spice Girls Night. Expect panelists to cosplay as their favorite Spice Girl and uncover who goes home in the next episode.
Panelists Cosplay the Ultimate Girl Power
So, get ready to see your favorite celebrities channel their inner Spice Girl. From Rita Ora to Ken Jeong, each will dress up and perform as they think of their favorite Spice Girl. It’s going to be a night full of girl power and singing antics.
