Fox's The Masked Singer Season 8 returned for an all-new episode on Wednesday night, October 5, 2022 and it was nothing short of entertaining. Panelists Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke and Jenny McCarthy returned to their seats to figure out who the celebrity under the mask was. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a good week for panelist Ken Jeong.

Ken, who is usually the one panelist to make the wrong hilarious guesses as to who might be under the costume, finally got his first right guess of the season. The Masked Singer panelist usually made the audience and other panelists go "No Ken", made them say, "Go Ken" this week after he figured out who the Fortune Teller was.

The theme for this week was TV Night and the two new costumes who performed were the Mummies and Fortune Teller. They battled alongside two-time reigning queen, the Harp. Ultimately, the Harp emerged as the winner and entered the semi-finals. This left the Mummies and Fortune Teller to be unmasked.

The Mummies turned out to be the cast members from the Brady Bunch and Nicole got it right. But when it came to the Fortune Teller, the panelists found it hard to figure out exactly who it was. But Ken was able to analyze the clues and guessed correctly.

He predicted that the Fortune Teller would be Shark Tank star Daymond John, and when unmasked, it was revealed to be him. This left host Nick Cannon, the other panelists and audience shocked. Nick shared that Ken finally got one right.

Fans who witnessed The Masked Singer panelist predict one of the toughest unmaskings so far this season took to social media to share their opinions.
