As a longtime fan of The Masked Singer, I must say that the Thanksgiving episode “Peanuts Night” was a delightful surprise. While I would have loved more Charlie Brown-themed songs, the unexpected cameo from Taika Waititi made up for it.
Hey gamers, heads up! I’m about to spill some beans from the latest episode of The Masked Singer, titled “Peanuts Night” on Thanksgiving. If you don’t want the surprise ruined, better hold off on streaming it until you’ve got a Hulu subscription at hand. Proceed with caution!
Although I felt that “The Masked Singer’s” “Peanuts Night” could have included more songs related to Charlie Brown and his gang, I still believe the holiday special was a huge success for Fox. The network has already got me eagerly anticipating more holiday episodes scheduled for 2025 TV lineup, particularly after an unexpected appearance from a renowned director that was handled exceptionally well.
In my gaming world, I reckoned I’d witnessed enough jaw-dropping twists on The Masked Singer to last a lifetime. But boy, was I wrong! I’m now munching humble pie (with a side of pumpkin, no less) after being as taken aback as one can be by discovering a well-known celebrity wasn’t hiding beneath any of the masks. Let’s delve into it together.
Taika Waititi Made A Surprise Appearance As “Rita Ora’s Husband”
During The Masked Singer’s special for Thanksgiving, there was a video segment where family members of the cast had recorded holiday messages specifically for the host and the panel. In this segment, we got to see some of Nick Cannon‘s numerous children’s messages, as well as messages from Ken Jeong‘s wife, Robin Thicke‘s offspring, and a message from Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg‘s husband, the renowned actor from Blue Bloods, Donnie Wahlberg. Their children also made an appearance. We even caught a glimpse of Rita Ora‘s partner in the episode, who was only referred to as “Husband.” However, many people are quite familiar with him as the talented director and actor, Taika Waititi.
Absolutely! I’m married to the genius behind some fantastic movies like “Thor: Ragnarok,” “Jojo Rabbit,” and “What We Do in the Shadows.” If there were any doubts about his identity or our fun-filled pranks on social media, now you’re all caught up.
It’s possible that some spectators watching “The Masked Singer” might not have recognized the contestant as a notable figure, which could lead them to only see him as “Rita Ora’s husband,” without any additional connotations.
Why I Love How The Masked Singer Handled Featuring Him
In an opportunity that might have been seized, The Masked Singer could have boasted about having Taika Waititi as a contestant on their show, a move that Fox series might have considered in earlier seasons given his high-profile status in the entertainment industry. With the episode airing on Thanksgiving and the potential for attracting viewers who don’t usually watch the show, it seems plausible that they would want to highlight as many notable figures as they could in their promotions to draw more attention.
The show effectively refrained from exaggerating Taika Waititi’s status, treating him no differently than any other family member who appeared on the segment. His high-profile role as a Hollywood director, potentially working on a new Star Wars project, was not highlighted in The Masked Singer; he is simply recognized as Rita Ora’s husband within that context.
In addition, the show had to wrap up its Group C Finals without being able to fit in everything it had previously arranged. The competitor known as Royal Knight was unmasked to be actress and singer Jana Kramer, while Sherlock Hound was identified as former baseball player turned musician Bronson Arroyo. This implies that Strawberry Shortcake will progress to the quarter-finals of Season 12 and inch closer to claiming victory on The Masked Singer.
On Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET, “The Masked Singer” resumes on Fox. I can’t wait to discover who takes home the trophy this season, and hopefully, my top contender will make it through as we move towards the quarter-finals.
