FOX’s hit celebrity singing competition returned last night for its season five premiere with a new group of Masked celebrities, a new format and a MASSIVE reveal.
Our favorite judges, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke have all returned but our host, Nick Cannon, was missing.
A few days before filming the episodes, Nick Cannon, was stricken with Covid-19. In his place as a guest host Niecy Nash stepped up. She will be hosting for the next few weeks. Cannon will return as stated by FOX.
