OT but wonder if Adam may do this show: (not sure want him to depending on caliber of people)
Fox just announced two new reality competitions: The Masked Singer, on which celebrity singers compete but in disguise, and Mental Samurai, a game show with physical elements that’s hosted by Rob Lowe.
The Masked Singer “features celebrities facing off against one another with one major twist: each singer is shrouded from head to toe in an elaborate costume, complete with full face mask to conceal his or her identity,” according to Fox.
Fox has a thing for masks, from The Masked Magician specials to the Monica Lewinsky-hosted reality competition Mr. Personality.
The show, which will air in January 2019, is an import from South Korea, where it’s known as King of Mask Singer, and has aired four seasons so far. Fox’s reality TV executive Rob Wade called it “truly one of the most unique, genre-defining formats I’ve ever seen. It’s a massive international hit, and its boldness and originality make it the perfect fit for Fox.”
Here’s what it looks like:
The judges will try to figure out the celebrities’ identity, and eliminate one singer a week. They are Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke. Nick Cannon is hosting.
Here’s a preview of the Fox version:
The concealed contestants will apparently be impressive competitors:
“Between all of the celebrity competitors on the show, they’ve amassed 65 Grammy nominations, 16 multi-Platinum albums, 16 Emmy nominations, nine Broadway shows, four stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and four Super Bowl titles. With each performance, the host, panelists, audience, viewers and even the other contestants are left guessing who is singing behind the mask. The singers may attempt to throw the crowd off of their scent, while keen observers might pick up on tiny hints buried throughout the show. One singer will be eliminated each week, ultimately revealing his or her true identity.”
It will be produced by Endemol Shine North America, and Smart Dog Media’s Craig Plestis, who produced NBC’s Minute to Win It

I could be wrong about all this, but it just doesn't seem too good to me. JMHO
