In a thrilling episode of The Masked Singer, actor and singer Jack Wagner was unveiled as the celebrity hidden behind the Eggplant costume. The reveal took place during Wednesday night’s special edition titled “OzzFest Night,” which honored the legendary rock icon Ozzy Osbourne. Adding to the excitement, Kelly Osbourne, Ozzy’s daughter, appeared as a guest judge, bringing a personal connection to the tribute event.
Jack Wagner, widely recognized for his prominent roles in popular television dramas such as General Hospital and Melrose Place, was eliminated after landing in the bottom two alongside the contestant known as High Voltage. His departure marked a significant moment in the competition, as fans and judges alike were eager to discover the identity behind the quirky Eggplant persona.
Interestingly, none of the panelists were able to correctly guess Wagner’s identity before the big reveal. Ken Jeong came closest by speculating another General Hospital alum, Rick Springfield. Meanwhile, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg guessed Kevin Cronin from REO Speedwagon, Rita Ora suggested actor Nathan Lane, Robin Thicke named Kenny Loggins, and Kelly Osbourne herself thought it might be Alice Cooper. This array of guesses highlighted the challenge of identifying the masked celebrities, even for seasoned judges.
During the episode, Eggplant delivered a powerful rendition of Linkin Park’s “One Step Closer,” showcasing Wagner’s vocal talents and stage presence. Earlier in the show, Eggplant joined fellow contestants Pangolin, High Voltage, and Galaxy Girl for a spirited group performance of Ozzy Osbourne’s iconic track “Crazy Train,” setting the tone for the tribute-themed night.
The competition intensified as the bottom two contestants faced off with performances of Osbourne’s classic “Iron Man.” High Voltage managed to secure their spot in the contest, resulting in Eggplant’s elimination and subsequent unmasking. Wagner’s clue packages throughout the season had hinted at his extensive career in entertainment, including a notable reference to his participation in the historic recording session of “We Are the World,” where he was invited by legendary producer Quincy Jones.
With Eggplant’s exit, seven contestants remain in the running: High Voltage, Pangolin, Galaxy Girl, Stingray, Cat Witch, Pugcasso, and Crane. The show continues to be hosted by Nick Cannon, with returning panelists Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, Rita Ora, and Robin Thicke providing their insights and entertainment each week. This season’s blend of mystery, music, and celebrity surprises keeps audiences eagerly anticipating what’s next.
