Who Got Unmasked on ‘The Masked Singer’ Tonight?

After the sing-off, Owl was eliminated and forced to remove the mask. Before the reveal, the panel locked in their final guesses.

Who Did the Panel Think Owl Was?

Robin Thicke returned to an earlier theory, guessing Dennis Quaid, citing Owl’s rugged voice and classic leading-man presence.

Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg stuck with her theory that Owl was Ted Danson, pointing to the seasoned delivery and long-running career clues.

Ken Jeong surprised everyone by abandoning his previous Matthew McConaughey guess and siding with Jenny, saying he believed it was Ted Danson.

Rita Ora pivoted back to her original thought, guessing Kurt Russell, referencing the Elvis clue and his iconic film career.

Who Is Owl on ‘The Masked Singer’?

None of the panelists got it right. Owl was revealed to be Billy Ray Cyrus.

The former country star famously broke out in 1992 with his smash hit “Achy Breaky Heart,” aligning with the recurring 1992 clue. Cyrus is also known as the father of pop superstar Miley Cyrus and is currently dating British model and actress Elizabeth Hurley.

His gravelly tone and stage confidence had the panel circling major Hollywood names — but in the end, it was a country icon hiding beneath the feathers.
