THE MASKED SINGER Season 12 Sets Barbie, FOOTLOOSE, Miley Cyrus Theme Nights

THE MASKED SINGER is back next month, and season 12 will include a gaggle of new theme nights.

On tap? A tribute to the 65th anniversary of “Mattel’s Barbie, celebrating over six decades of breaking down boundaries and inspiring girls to explore their limitless potential”‘; a celebration of FOOTLOOSE, as the film reaches its 40th anniversary; a special tribute to Miley Cyrus; “Sports Night”; “60’s Night”’; and “Who Are You Fest,” “featuring music from memorable festival lineups.” Returning themes include “Soundtrack of My Life” and “Thanksgiving Night.”

Season 12 includes returning panelists Ken Jeong, Rita Ora, Robin Thicke, and Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, plus host Nick Cannon.

According to Fox, “New this season, clues are everywhere and hidden in all-new places: strategically embedded in costumes, in song choices and on-stage moments. And for the first time in the show’s history, viewers will get the biggest clue yet as each of the fifteen masked singers will be endorsed by a celebrity Masked Ambassador. These Ambassadors, all alums of the series, have a special connection to each singer and provide major new clues about their friends’ identities. Some of our Ambassadors will include Dick Van Dyke (Season 9’s GNOME), Jewel (QUEEN OF HEARTS and Season 6 winner), NE-YO (COW and Season 10 winner) and DeMarcus Ware (Season 11’s KOALA). Get your Masked binoculars out and your guessing hat on for a season that is sure to come in like a wrecking ball!”
