Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert Blast Rudy Giuliani Masked Singer Look

Each late-night hosts took on the viral story after deadline reported that panelists Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke each stormed off the stage in protest following the reveal of the previous president’s legal professional on the taping for the upcoming Season 7 premiere.

“A really surprising revelation, I can not consider ‘The Masked Singer’ has had seven seasons,” joked Colbert. “When did that occur? And the way did that occur?”

The “Late Present” host additional joked that it was unclear if Jeong and Thicke had truly left in protest, or if maybe they’d merely fled in terror. “I imply, one of the vital chilling phrases within the English language is, ‘Shock, it is Rudy Giuliani!'”

He then took his joke proper to the sting of style and borderline NSFW territory by including, “Simply ask the crew of ‘Borat.’ No person needs to see him whip out his head.”

Giuliani is not the primary and solely controversial contestant from the world of politics, although he’s the primary contestant to result in a protested walk-off by anybody on the panel. Again in 2020, Sarah Palin competed as a bear — and she or he was additionally fairly terrible vocally.

Whereas Fox is not saying what music Giuliani sang or what he was dressed up as, the very fact he was unmasked within the very first episode tells you nearly all you should find out about how horrible he was.

In response to Deadline, each Jeong and Thicke ultimately made their manner again to the stage, however fellow panelists Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger caught round and took part within the typical banter with unmasked contestants.

It’s unclear if the closely edited present will embody the walk-out or will retool footage, and even refilm issues completely, to make it look as if Jeong and Thicke stayed round. For all it casts such controversial figures, “The Masked Singer” tends to try to keep fairly mild and empty-headed leisure fare.

Kimmel, although, was none too impressed together with his casting, calling for the manager who greenlit it to get unmasked after which faraway from tv endlessly.

Colbert, although, wasn’t so fast guilty any of the higher brass at Fox. “Take into accout it might not be the producers’ fault,” he stated. “It is doable that Rudy simply wandered onto the Fox lot and handed out in a dressing up.”

Kimmel, although, was horrified over Giuliani’s involvement, and even his viewers groaned audibly when he introduced it. “Proper?” Kimmel agreed. “That is what I stated.”

“The one individuals who ought to be unmasking Rudy Giuliani is the gang from Scooby-Doo,” he joked. “Let’s discover out who the actual traitor is.”

He went on to indicate a collection of faux unmaskings of different controversial figures that had been by no means truly on the present like OJ Simpson, Kim Jong-un and Harvey Weinstein, saving essentially the most heinous unmasking for final … Covid-19.

On prime of questioning how Giuliani obtained forged on the present, Kimmel discovered himself questioning why he would do it. “Why would Rudy even agree to do that? Did he assume he was going to The Masked Singer landscaping firm?” Hey requested.

“Solely Rudy Giuliani would attempt to overthrow the federal government, break wind loudly in courtroom, sweat hair dye throughout one press convention, have one other one subsequent to a dildo retailer after which attempt to rehabilitate his picture dressed by singing ‘Shake Your Groove Factor’ like a pineapple.”
