Open Post: Hosted By “The Masked Dancer” Visiting You In Your Sleep
I saw a tweet once, and at the time, I thought it was one of the most laughably deranged theories of the QAnon era. Today, I’m not so sure. When failed California Republican Congressional candidate DeAnna Lorraine tweeted her suspicion that the Fox TV show The Masked Singer might have been used as a tool of the “demonic media” to “condition the public” to believe that masks are “normal” and “cool,” I guffawed. However, according to TVLine, just as Joe Biden is positioned to possibly become the next President of the United States and has floated the idea of a national mask mandate to curb the spread of COVID-19, Fox is set to debut a Masked Singer spin-off called The Masked Dancer. I have to admit, I’m sitting here asking myself; could it be that DeAnna had a point? I mean besides the one at the top of her pinhead?
I say this because there’s no doubt that The Masked Dancer looks even cooler and more normal than the already incredibly cool and normal Masked Singer. According to TVLine:
Premiering in December (exact date TBA), The Masked Dancer, much like its mothership series, will feature costumed celebrities performing for the judges and home audience, with each castoff’s identity getting revealed upon their elimination. And also like its mothership series, The Masked Dancer will showcase some truly trippy (and/or nightmare-inducing) outfits, including the Tulip, Cricket, Cotton Candy, Exotic Bird, Sloth and Zebra get-ups featured in the video above.
The judges ( though I think guessers/random celebrity name generators are actually more accurate) for TMD are Paula Abdul, Ashley Tisdale, Ken Jeong, and The Greatest Dancer In the World, David Silver aka Brian Austin Green. TMD will be hosted by Craig Robinson. Here’s a clip.
I owe DeAnna an apology because after watching that clip, there’s nothing in this world I want to do more than to go to the grocery store wearing a giant tulip mask with rhinestone lips and eyes, and busting out some sweet moves in front of the refrigerated nut milk case. It’s the future liberals like myself want.
