Ken Jeong is once again making wild guesses on “The Masked Singer” this week, and this time, his fellow panelists have to plead with him not to reveal it.
The episode this week has a “TV Theme Night,” and to start things off, Jeong, Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, and Rita Ora will open the show with a performance of the “Gilligan’s Island” theme song. After that, the actual contestants will pay tribute to theme songs such as “Scooby-Doo,” “The Hills” and “Good Times.”
After Clock’s performance, McCarthy Wahlberg is quite certain the singer is a television and dancing legend: Debbie Allen. The rest of the panel agrees with the guess — but they definitely don’t appreciate Jeong’s, as seen in TheWrap’s exclusive sneak peek in the video above.
“Last time I guessed Diana Ross, but now, based on the TV show, ‘Good Times,’ maybe someone who played Penny on ‘Good Times,'” Jeong begins.
Thicke finds it amusing, but everyone else groans, as host Nick Cannon pleads with him not to say it. Nonetheless, he still says it.
“The Clock is Janet Jackson and I will explain why,” Jeong says as his fellow panelists simply walk away from the table. “OK, you know what? I don’t like this energy.”
But, as the booing continues from the audience, Jeong changes his mind.
“You know what? With all this nasty energy, I guess I’ll go back to Diana Ross, sorry! I’ll go back to Diana Ross.”
