Season 8 of FOX’s The Masked Singer premiered a brand-new episode on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, at 8 p.m. ET. The reality show exposed fans to three new disguised celebrities who competed. Jenny McCarthy, Robin Thicke, and Nicole Scherzinger were reinstated as judges. Ken Jeong, who tested positive for Covid-19, was unable to attend this week.
Joel McHale of LEGO Masters took Ken’s position on the panel, while legendary actor Leslie Jordan appeared as a guest judge.

Venus Flytrap has to take it off first. Robin got it right. It’s former boxing champ George Foreman. Now that’s what I call a lean, mean, fighting machine! #TheMaskedSinger

Here are the indications and cues provided by the Venus Fly Trap to the judges.
Prior to his performance, the Venus Fly Trap showed a video montage to the judges and audience that included hints as to who he may be. He began his clue packet by stating,
“Becoming a Hall-of-Famer isn’t easy, but I’ve done it twice. The first time was in my 20s, and nobody believed I could do it again in my 40s, but I went down as one of the finest in history.”
Orion’s belt, the constellation, and other items such as a lawn chair, towels, and floaties were among the visual clues in his box. A flamingo, a TV guide magazine, a gold medal, and a horseshoe were also there. The Venus Fly Trap played his rendition of The Temptations Get Ready during his performance. The Masked Singer participant gave as his on-stage clue,
“I absorbed the punches and the strikes.”
The judges projected Mike Tyson, Bo Jackson, Charles Barkley, or George Foreman as the winner. In the end, Robin Thicke was the only one who got it right.
