Wincent Weiss (30) will honor the guessing team of “The Masked Singer” as the first guest of the eighth season. In addition to the regulars Rea Garvey (49) and Ruth Moschner (46), the singer and “The Voice Kids” coach will try to give the first tips on who is behind the masks of this year’s season. ProSieben will show the start on April 1 (live on Saturdays at 8:15 p.m. and on Joyn).
The broadcaster has already presented the first six masks with which celebrities will step on stage and perform songs. The seahorse stands out because of its scales, which glow in the dark with a fluorescent color. The hedgehog has around 10,000 spines that have been cut out, painted and pasted by hand. The kangaroo, on the other hand, comes with tattoos and sunglasses.
The mushroom wants to improve the image of toadstools on “The Masked Singer”. Its 10,000 scales have all been cut out, reinforced and draped. According to the announcement, the Schuhschnabel wants to “go high”. Its feathers are made of thermoplastic so the mask doesn’t become too heavy for the star. The raccoon also sings along for victory. He runs a laundromat founded by his great-great-grandfather. His signature dance move: the self-invented “washy dance”.
ProSieben entertainment director Natalie Zizler also announced an innovation for the show in a statement on Thursday (March 30): “The Masked Singer” will be “closer than ever. Because in season eight we change perspective for the first time and surprise the viewers with completely new perspectives from the masks.” For this purpose, cameras will be placed under the masks for the first time.
