Here's How Bob Saget Really Felt About Being On The Masked Singer

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Tuesday, May 14, 2024

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, not long after being unmasked, Bob Saget joked about being robbed of his rightful win. "I don't accept Squiggly being rejected," he said in mock outrage. "I want the Zoom audience of 'Masked Singer' to revote because this is unfair. It's a fraud." He then quickly added, "Actually, I wish our democratic system had been as amazing as the dignity that 'Masked Singer' has, how strong and careful they are about everything."

Saget had previously been asked to appear on the show, and the lull of the pandemic provided the perfect opportunity to take up the offer. The Squiggly Monster costume was an instant hit with the comedian, who said it reminded him of the three-eyed alien in the "Toy Story" series. "It just had a feeling of a childish, loving kind of thing," he told EW. However, he regretted that he couldn't have two of the creature's many eyes over his chest, and the huge head was awkward to work in. "It's hard to sing when you're constrained in a diving helmet," Saget recalled.

Though Saget regretted not being able to sing the other songs he had prepared — like Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" — he didn't have time to dwell on it. He appeared as a guest panelist on the new singing competition "I Can See Your Voice," with his good friend Ken Jeong, and was looking forward to a busy year on his "I Don't Do Negative" tour.
