THE Masked Singer stunned both the panel and audience when Tom Bergeron was revealed as The Taco in tonight’s episode.
Judges Nicole Scherzinger, 41, Ken Jeong, 50, Robin Thicke, 42, Jenny McCarthy, 47, and special guest T-Pain all incorrectly predicted who is under the appetizing costume.
The Dancing With the Stars host, 64, sang “Can’t Help Myself” by The Four Tops in what turned out to be his final performance on the Fox show.
Guest judge T-Pain thought the clues were a Cheers show reference and guessed Kelsey Grammar.
Former Playboy model Jenny made the prediction the Mexican food participant was none other than Jerry Springer.
Blurred Lines crooner Robin and his Hangover actor co-star both guessed comedic legend Martin Short.
The Pussycat Dolls front woman Nicole inaccurately said The Taco was iconic singer Barry Manilow.
No one on the panel was even close to correctly guessing Tom and to add to the burn, the judges even have a close relationship with the beloved TV host.
“Jenny actually wrote the blurb on the cover of my book about 10 years ago,” he began to explain.
“Robin has been on Dancing With the Stars. Nicole WON Dancing With the Stars. Of the regular panelist the only person who’s not a friend is unsurprisingly Ken,” he added with a laugh.
Tom also admitted his time on the show was “the most work I’ve done in years.”
The Taco competed against The Banana, The Kitty, and The Frog in the latest Group B battle.
Fans were pleasantly surprised with the latest revelation and praised the comedic personality for his impressive voice.
“Okay i didn’t see THAT result coming… i thought it was martin short for sure.who knew tom could sing? I didn’t,” one shocked viewer said.
Another tweeted: “Had no idea Tom Bergeron from #DWTS had such a great voice,” along with clapping emoji’s.
“Wow, I did not see that coming. Tom Bergeron was the Taco? That voice? Who knew?” One fan begged the question.
A pleased watcher of the show used the pun: “Taco about quite a surprise tonight!! Love it!!”
The Masked Singer airs Wednesday’s on Fox at 8pm EST.
