The Masked Singer Season 5 Introduces Cluedle-Doo; Russian Dolls Sing

We've been reporting about how the fifth season of FOX's The Masked Singer is going to be one of change, including the addition of new wildcard rounds set to shake up the road to The Golden Mask Trophy. We even know there's going to be a COVID-related change to the season-opener, with Niecy Nash filling in for regular host Nick Cannon. Now with Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke back for more guessing and speculating and Chameleon, Grandpa Monster, Phoenix, Russian Dolls (duet), and Black Swan masks officially revealed, it's time to look at another new mask. Except this one doesn't get voted off the show. Instead, the masked celebrity known as Cluedle-Doo will make regular appearances to interrupt the show and offer up more clues for the viewers and panel (with their identity revealed by the end of the season)- here's a look:

Now here's a look at our first five revealed masks in action as they head into the season-opener, "Season 5 Premiere – Return of the Masks" on Wednesday, March 10:
