How much do The Masked Singer judges get paid, continued

Fox tends to remain extremely tight-lipped when it comes to salaries and payments, but there are some estimates based on the net worths of each judge.

According to Cosmopolitan, judges on the UK version of The Masked Singer get paid between $250K-500K. If the payment is similar for American judges, they have probably earned between $1.25million and $2.5million for their time on the show.

Celebrity Net Worth has host Nick Cannon’s salary listed as $5million – but it remains unclear if that’s his annual salary or his total salary over the last few years.

How much do The Masked Singer judges get paid?

The judges of The Masked Singer include Nicole Scherzinger, Jenny McCarthy, Robin Thicke, and Ken Jeong.

There have been instances of guest judges, such as the recurring role of Joel McHale.

Niecy Nash was the guest host for a few episodes when Nick Cannon was out sick with Covid-19.

In front of a live studio audience

According to Insider, even though each episode is new to home viewers and the shouting audience on TV makes it appear as though the show is being recorded live, the performances are not truly taking place in real-time.

As a result, Toybina may create several variations before deciding which would be exhibited throughout a season.

Participants are given numerous options to choose from based on their history and what could fit them best.

Their reasons for wearing a costume vary; some have an emotional attachment to it.

Others, on the other hand, prefer to be able to roam around freely throughout performances.

Who designs the costumes on Masked Singer?

Marina Toybina created the series’ costumes. She incorporates celebrity and producer requests in addition to her own thoughts while generating early proposals.

By employing diverse stitching and construction techniques, each is intended to stand out from those seen in prior seasons and other iterations of the Masked Singer series.

Toybina drafts each concept with a pencil and works with an illustrator to make a digital version with a 3D look after researching fur and skin textures, historical dress, everything that could be related to each character, Deadline reported.

Producers go over each design and make notes on what needs to be changed.

Audience members sign NDAs

Because The Masked Singer is pre-recorded, each audience member must sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) vowing not to discuss the program after they leave, according to Cheatsheet.

This prevents anyone from revealing the plot before the program airs on television.

No devices allowed during filming

Audience members are not allowed to bring in any electronic or recording devices to the taping of the Masked Singer.

Voting is done via devices that are provided to them, according to Buzzfeed.

14-hour tapings

According to Variety, episode tapings can take up to 14 hours to shoot.

Season 3’s first two episodes were shot on the same day, and Drew Carey estimated that he was on set for roughly 14 hours.

Has Masked Singer been renewed?

BFans can expect another season to premiere soon enough.

In April 2022, executive producer Craig Plestis revealed they are in pre-production for an eighth season of the popular series.

Newer elements in the series

In the fourth season, a Golden Ear trophy was introduced, which is granted to the panelist with the most right first impression guesses at the end of the season, as well as a reduction in performances and remote audience voting.

In the fifth season, these aspects were carried over, while wildcard candidates who appeared at the conclusion of some episodes participated for the first time.

Past Winners: Jewel

On the December 15, 2021, Masked Singer season 6 finale, Queen of Hearts, unmasked as Jewel, defeated Todrick Hall after winning the Group B finals.

She subsequently told People that the series allowed her to demonstrate the “technical” part of her voice.

Past Winners: Nick Lachey

The 98 Degrees member won as Piglet and said he went on the program for his children, Camden and Phoenix, as well as Brooklyn, his daughter.

While the celebrity may have deceived the judges during his time on the program, he claims that his children immediately recognized their father as Piglet.

“They recognized my voice immediately,” Lachey said to People.

Past Winners: LeAnn Rhymes

The show’s fourth episode came to a close with Grammy winner LeAnn Rimes.

Rimes, who was masked up as the Sun, afterward expressed how her experience was not what she had expected.

She said: “I didn’t expect this to be this much work. I have to say. I was thinking like, I’ll come on, this will be easy. This will be fun. And it was a blast.”

Past Winners: Kandi Burruss

As the first female champion of the competition, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star made history.

Following her win, she said: “For a long time, I really stopped singing by myself because you get negative feedback and so it kind of messes with your head.

“But thank you. So I had really stopped. And I just really appreciate you guys for helping me build my confidence back.”

Past Winners: Wayne Brady

The former Hamilton performer and Let’s Make a Deal presenter had a hard time keeping his role as the Fox a secret from host Nick Cannon, but after he won, he made sure everyone knew how much fun he had on the show.

After winning, Brady said: “This has been the coolest, most amazing, most touching, most challenging weirdest, this is the weirdest — and I host Let’s Make a Deal.”

Past Winners: T-Pain

When he won the inaugural season of the competition, the Grammy winner set the tone for all future winners.

Before winning the Golden Mask, he defeated Gladys Knight and Donny Osmond.

Who has previously won The Masked Singer?

Throughout its six seasons, the following celebrities have won the Golden Mask:

• Season 1: T-Pain
• Season 2: Wayne Brady
• Season 3: Kandi Burruss
• Season 4: LeAnn Rimes
• Season 5: Nick Lachey

No backstage interactions

Contestants are not allowed to interact backstage or listen to each other’s performances in order to preserve anonymity, according to Variety.

Contestant Drew Carey said in an interview: “I was under the impression when I signed up that all the celebrities would be hanging out and we’d get to talk, and then we’d put on our masks.

“But then I found out, you don’t even know who anybody else is. They keep everybody separate.

“I never saw anybody until we were doing pictures together in costume. We’re under strict orders not to talk to anybody.”
