According to Entertainment Weekly, the first elimination of the night was a bit of a shocker: “Doll” was sent back to its box. In what has become somewhat of an uncommon occurrence this season, no one got his identity correct, though the panelists weren’t too far off.
Nicole Scherzinger went with David Lee Roth, Jeong with Austin Butler, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg with Iggy Pop, and Robin Thicke with Gene Simmons.
EW spoke with Snider, who revealed the hilarious reason he turned down the show in its first season, his thoughts on his drag-inspired costume (and expecting a call from RuPaul), and his brutally honest reaction to getting booted from the show.
Dee Snider was revealed as a guest performer on the TV show The Masked Singer after performing “Jailhouse Rock” dressed as a character called the Doll.
None of the panelists guessed his identity after he delivered his cover of the Elvis Presley classic, with suggestions including Gene Simmons, Iggy Pop and David Lee Roth. Snider’s appearance can be seen below.“I couldn’t believe you guys didn’t get it,” Snider said after he was unmasked.
You were circling around it. But let me tell you — Gene Simmons, Iggy Pop, no one could wear pumps like I did. And by the way, ladies, it’s like riding a bike. It all came back to me once I put them on.
Before bowing out, he led the panelists and audience through a part of Twisted Sister’s signature song “We’re Not Gonna Take It.”Read More: Watch Dee Snider Revealed on ‘The Masked Singer.
