“The Masked Singer” took a real twist.
Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider revealed his face under Doll’s mask after being eliminated on the show’s “WB Movie Night” on Wednesday.
The 68-year-old singer was dressed in a gray unitard with a sparkly purple dress over it, paired with equally sparkly high-heeled shoes.
Prior to his unmasking, judges asked him to provide clues as to who he was.
Snider’s clues included a comparison to Elvis Presley, a “Guys and Dolls” playbill and a lollipop before he gave a stunning performance of “Jailhouse Rock.”
Robin Thicke, 46, guessed that the singer was actually Gene Simmons of Kiss while Ken Jeong, 53, guessed it was Austin Butler — who was nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of Elvis.
Nicole Scherzinger, 44, guessed that Snider was David Lee Roth while Jenny McCarthy, 50, believed the singer was Iggy Pop.
