Warning! The following contains spoilers for The Masked Singer 's Season 12 episode, " Barbie Night." Stream the episode with a Hulu subscription and read at your own risk! There are many things ingrained into the DNA of The Masked Singer at this point that make it one of the most unique television shows to hit the Fall TV schedule . The costumes and shocking celebrity unmaskings certainly make up a bulk of its draw, but the whacky theme nights also factor in.
This show has highlighted everything from Harry Potter to the NFL , and sometimes it's great, and other times not so much. All that said, "Barbie Night" was the Fox series' best theme night in a long time, and we need more of it. Sure, referencing Barbie in 2024 will be a win for any show, even more than a year after its release.
It's one of the best movies of 2023, bolstered by one of Hollywood's biggest stars, Margot Robbie . The bonus is that this week's unmasked contestant, Laverne Cox ( Chess Piece ), has a Barbie modeled after her. Even so, there were a few reasons this was the perfect movie for The Masked Singer to model an episode after, and I'm hoping they look to what worked here and look at other natural fits for future theme nights.
Ken Jeong's Performance Of "I'm Just Ken" Was Fantastic Ken Jeong has only taken the stage to sing sparingly, with his most memorable performance before this being his rendition of "The Little Drummer Boy" during a holiday special . The panelist is not the most talented singer on.
