My wife and I tuned into The Masked Singer on Fox last season, just intending on watching for 5 minutes to see how stupid it was...but then, something happened. We got hooked. And, we were not alone. The Masked Singer, which put celebrities in ridiculous costumes on stage to singer before judges who then try to guess they are, was the surprise champion of the FOX line up. The show is hosted by Nick Cannon, with panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke. In January, it was announced that FOX will be bringing it back for a second season. NOW, the network has already picked it up for a THIRD season, premiering after the next Super Bowl.
Fox has released it's full fall schedule, check out the press release below from the network.
