Speaking of Mr. Hair-dye...
From:
Variety
Fox is staying radio silent on a report that former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani...was revealed as a contestant during a recent taping of its reality competition series “The Masked Singer.”... Giuliani was unmasked during the show’s production last week, prompting judges Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke to leave the stage in protest.
Ummm... what the heck?
I have never watched the show, but I have seen enough commercials and can certainly understand the appeal. (Famous people wear costumes and perform covers of songs, with judges voting for a winner and trying to guess their identity, with the losers getting 'unmasked')
I know TV shows often benefit from controversy. But why bring on
Discount Nosferatu? Yeah your show will get a few extra lines in the newspapers, but you risk alienating a huge chunk of your audience. There is a difference in controversy like "I had a drug problem" or "I was in a very public divorce", and "I tried to help overthrow the government".
