The Masked Singer 2026 : time to start yakking with all our monkey business and get down to some guessing!

[Piggywaspushed]

Will Conker knock us all out? Is Arctic Fox going cold on us? Will Red Panda ever surface?

And most importantly, is Sheridan Smith on this year?

Lovely Freddie. Fans self.

Ah Traitorsyay...I suspect you are full of youthful joy! 😄

Can't say Yak wasn't a bit of fun!

Thanks for the company all.

She's been gone 1-2 years maybe so he was obvs in the US one a fair few years ago. Good on him for getting out there, it can't have been easy going from being her carer to her not being there any more.

Until next week (think i am right we aren't on both days this weekend)

He was devoted to his wife, she died in 2023. He’s well known for calling out Saville many years before

John was Jester in TMS USA s6. Sang School’s Out by Alice Cooper was one of the songs

Oh no I thought it was 🥹

He was absolutely devoted to his wife. They were together for so long.

I was watching an unearthed episode of Top of the Pops from 1976 last night, and I was like "you can see why punk happened can't you?" Save one fleeting glimpse of The Walker Brothers before Scott went full on auteur bonkers in the rundown it was... Beatles reissues and some guy dressed as a gorilla

@Traitorsyay Johnny Rotten ☝️

He was trying to tell people about Saville in the 70’s

Thank god that fifty years later we've moved on from watching people in silly costumes singing old songs. We've truly progressed.

My god wtf were Pans People having to endure with those costumes.

Am half minded to set up a TOTP random thread but there must be one already and I just can't find it

Old TOTP is bonkers, obviously anything with JS presenting isn’t shown but am I right in thinking Sarah Green hasn’t given permission for anything with Mike Smith ????

Yes. I think that's why The Smiths first appearance, or possibly the episode with The Stone Roses didn't get shown

I think Can of Worms is Gyles Brandreth

Oh please do. In between the dross, there were some great oldies. Noosha Fox doing Single Bed and Sailor 😀

We've had a few acts that have appeared in the US version now.
I'm still holding out for Kermit.

Aren't the shows owned by the BBC (us?) though? I can understand she wouldn't want to see them but why can't we? I guess AI could be used to replace the presenters for some of these.

Looked it up

Ive found a near match that might suffice

I think :
Moth - Keisha Buchanan
Gargoyle - Marcella Detroit or Toyah Wilcox
Sloth - Joe Marler or James Haskell
Can of worms - Ben Shepherd
Arctic Fox - Anton Du Beke
Toastie - Mica Paris
Conkers - Jordan North or Matthew Baynton
Monkey Business - Kate Nash

I think Toastie is Brenda Edwards

I’m hoping the bloody football will be over by 7 but probably not 🤬

I'm watching Wheel of Fortune. I always thought the phrases were meant to be actual well known ones- or at least something guessable.

Mostly, it seems , it's as tenuous as The Masked Singer
