Masked SInger Elimination Tonight : Tone Loc and Taraji P. Henson Revealed
The Masked Singer Season 14 delivered one of its most brutal and buzzworthy episodes yet on Wednesday with “Clueless Night” — a nostalgic tribute to the 30th anniversary of the ’90s classic Clueless.
The fun throwback theme quickly turned ruthless as the show hit fans with a rare double elimination, sending home two major celebrities in one night and leaving viewers stunned.
The episode opened with high-energy vibes: contestants joined for a group performance of “Kids in America”, judges rocked ’90s-inspired outfits (plaid, berets, the works), and the panel — Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora — brought the enthusiasm.
But the competition was unforgiving, culminating in back-to-back unmaskings that shook the Golden Mask race.
First out: Handyman, revealed as ’90s rap icon Tone Loc. The Grammy-nominated artist, famous for massive hits like “Wild Thing” and “Funky Cold Medina”, performed “Can I Kick It?” by A Tribe Called Quest before his exit.
Panel guesses were all over the map — Jenny suggested Chuck D, Ken went with Mr. T, and Rita picked Ice-T — but Robin Thicke confidently called it right with Tone Loc. After the reveal, Tone treated fans to an encore of his signature “Wild Thing,” capping a nostalgic send-off.
The bigger bombshell? Scarab was unmasked as Oscar-nominated actress Taraji P. Henson. The star of Empire (as fierce Cookie Lyon), Hidden Figures, The Color Purple, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (for which she earned her Oscar nod) delivered a fun, upbeat take on Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”.
Clues leaned into her powerhouse career and iconic roles, leading to guesses like Regina King (Robin), Angela Bassett (Jenny), and Cynthia Erivo (Ken). Rita Ora trusted her instincts — spotting the “Cookie” hint — and nailed it with Taraji P. Henson.
The emotional reveal marked one of the show’s highest-profile exits, blending star power with the night’s ’90s celebration.
The double elimination came amid the introduction of Season 14’s first wildcard, Crane, who advanced safely after a powerhouse Whitney Houston cover. Snow Cone and Pugcasso also moved forward, while the shocking send-offs of Tone Loc and Taraji P. Henson raised the stakes dramatically.
Fans are calling it a “bloodbath” — the rare double unmasking combined with two legends exiting has social media exploding with reactions.
Was this the most shocking twist of Season 14 so far? With more themed nights and surprises ahead, the competition is fiercer than ever. As if we needed more drama! What’s your take on the reveals?
