The mere presence of Rudy Giuliani made for dramatic primetime drama on Wednesday night’s episode of “The Masked Singer,” when Judge Ken Jeong stormed off the stage as the former mayor, as the secret candidate dressed as a giant rooster, was revealed.
In a segment recorded months ago, Giuliani emerged from a Jack in the Box while singing a rendition of “Bad to the Bone” – and made Jeong say “I’m done” before heading backstage.
Some viewers gasped in disbelief as panelists struggled to identify the candidate as the man who spearheaded efforts to overthrow the 2020 presidential election.
“Is that Robert Duval?” Judge Nicole Scherzinger asked.
“No… that’s not Robert Duval,” Ken Jeong replied, obviously disinterested.
On Wednesday night’s episode, Rudy Giuliani emerged from a Jack in the Box while singing a rendition of “Bad to the Bone.”
The chilling performance was taped months ago.
“I can’t think of anything more unlike me and unlike me than this,” Giuliani said of the show.FOX
“I broke a thousand hearts before I met you. I’ll break a thousand more, baby, before I’m done,” croaked the triple-divorced former mayor of New York City.
“It can’t get any worse,” judge Robin Thicke joked about the harsh rendition.
Not everyone on stage was surprised. Scherzinger and his colleague Jenny McCarthy applauded Giuliani enthusiastically and danced to his version of “Bone” as the credits rolled.
Jeong was clearly not amused by the former NYC mayor’s antics.
The Republican told host Nick Cannon he was inspired to be on the show to set an example for his new grandchild, the daughter of New York GOP gubernatorial candidate Andrew Giuliani.
“I’ve just had a granddaughter, Grace, and I want her to know that you should try everything, even the things that are totally unlike and unlikely to you – and I can’t think of anything more unlike and unlikely than that here,” Giuliani explained.
In the wake of the 2020 presidential election, Giuliani repeated unproven conspiracy theories and called for “trial by combat” to overturn legitimate election results.
His law license was suspended in New York by judges who found he had made “false and misleading statements” related to voter fraud.
The show gave a clue to Giuliani’s identity by referring to Four Seasons Landscaping – a Philadelphia landscaping company where Giuliani held a post-election press conference when it was booked in place of the Four Seasons Hotel.
