‘Gremlin’ Mickey Rourke Takes Off Mask & Quits ‘The Masked Singer’

Actor Mickey Rourke left the fourth season of Fox’s The Masked Singer competition series on Wednesday night.

The Sin City star sang on the show dressed as a furry gremlin. Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke are the judges, while Nick Cannon is the host.

In a surprising turn of events, Rourke ripped his mask off and quit the show, before the judges could even get a chance to pick who to eliminate.

“Never happened before on #TheMaskedSinger… but such a great job #MickeyRourke!! Such a pleasure to have you on the show,” Scherzinger tweeted after the spectacle. One viewer tweeted “I’m still in shock,” to which Jeong responded, “Same here.”

Before the episode aired, E! reported that one of the contestants would unmask themself and leave the show. Because of Rourke’s departure, no one was voted out during Wednesday’s episode.
