Fans tuning into Fox on November 27 expecting a fresh episode of The Masked Singer might have been puzzled to find reruns instead of the usual wild costumes and celebrity reveals. Fear not, mystery-loving music fans—The Masked Singer hasn't gone anywhere. The show took a strategic holiday detour, moving its new episode to Thursday, November 28, for a special Thanksgiving celebration.
Picture this: well-known personalities don elaborate costumes that transform them into everything from mythical creatures to walking food items, then compete in a singing competition, and a panel of celebrity judges tries to guess their identities.
It's exactly as wonderfully chaotic as it sounds, and it's become a cultural phenomenon that keeps viewers guessing week after week.
The Masked Singer special episode to air on Thanksgiving Day
The decision to move Wednesday's episode wasn't just a random programming hiccup. Fox made a calculated choice to align one of their most popular shows with Thanksgiving festivities. After all, what better way to digest that turkey dinner than watching celebrities attempt to carry a tune while dressed as oversized animals?
The move also allows families to gather around the TV for some post-feast entertainment that bridges generations—because nothing says "family bonding" quite like debating whether that singing strawberry could be a former boy band member.
The upcoming episode, cleverly titled "Group C Finals: A Peanuts Thanksgiving," promises to be stuffed with holiday cheer. The Group C finalists—Strawberry Shortcake, Royal Knight, and Sherlock Hound—will compete for their spot in the quarterfinals.
Viewers can expect Thanksgiving-themed clues, special appearances by the Peanuts gang (because why not add Charlie Brown to the mix?), and a musical collaboration between panelists Rita Ora and Robin Thicke performing "You Make My Dreams Come True."
The stakes are particularly high this week, with a double elimination set to determine who joins Goo, Buffalo, and Wasp in the quarterfinals on December 4. It's like musical chairs but with more feathers and sequins.
The Masked Singer Season 12 so far
This season has maintained the show's reputation for being television's most gloriously unpredictable singing competition. The panel—featuring Ken Jeong (master of the hilariously wrong guess), Nicole Scherzinger, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, and Robin Thicke—continues to provide entertainment with their detective work, ranging from eerily accurate to delightfully off-base.
The themed episodes have added extra excitement, with "Who Are You Fest Night" becoming a particular fan favorite. The reveals have included some genuine surprises that had viewers checking their eyes (and ears), proving that even in its twelfth season, The Masked Singer hasn't lost its ability to shock and amaze.
While Wednesday's programming change might have temporarily disrupted viewing routines, Thursday's holiday special looks set to make up for it. The combination of Thanksgiving spirit, double eliminations, and the Peanuts gang suggests we're in for a treat, more satisfying than grandma's pumpkin pie.
For those who missed Wednesday's rerun of "Who Are You Fest Night," consider it a chance to catch up before diving into Thursday's festivities. After all, The Masked Singer is one of those rare shows where even the reruns can reveal clues you might have missed the first time.
So gather your leftovers, settle into your favorite spot on the couch, and prepare for an evening of music, mystery, and holiday mayhem. The Masked Singer may have taken a brief Wednesday break, but Thursday's special promises to be worth the wait.
