‘The Masked Singer’ Contestant McTerrier’s Mask Falls Off During Production

The Wednesday night season premiere of the Fox competition series The Masked Singer saw a series first, a singer was unmasked before they were supposed to be when his mask fell away during his performance.

Right after he was soaking in applause for finishing “Working For The Weekend” by Loverboy, the singer named McTerrier nearly fell off the end of the show stage. After catching his balance, McTerrier’s mask fell off and he quickly turned around to conceal his identity. In the hilarious clip shared below, you can hear the singer repeatedly ask “What do I do?” while the mask stays on the floor and judges react with shock.

McTerrier was then voted to be officially unmasked at the end of the episode. He revealed himself to be pastry chef and Food Network star Duff Goldman. In his farewell speech, Goldman said, “I started making cakes because I wanted to be a rock star, and I feel like I still make cakes because I’m trying to be a rockstar. And I think this is the closest to actually feeling like a rock star.”

Goldman as McTerrier still managed to deliver a fun performance even if it was his only one. He performed his own drums at the start of the set and delivered some pretty solid rock vocals for a chef by trade! You can watch Goldman’s full performance pre-malfunction here.

New episodes of The Masked Singer air on Fox Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST.
