So there were a lot of different guesses, but Nicole popped up with this one, and I don’t know how but not everybody gravitated to it.īetween this and the Emmys, fans have gotten quite a bit of a Brady Brunch reunion in recent months. And there are a lot of family acts - Jonas Brothers come to mind - or people that might be working together.
I wouldn’t have any chance of being able to identify anybody through these costumes, these amazing costumes that they create for us, and I was surprised that she guessed it because we’re not really known as a trio, we’re known as the six kids, and we’re not really known, even though we were Silver Platters for an episode or two, as singers, and it’s a singing show. Williams: The biggest question I have about The Masked Singer is how the judges do their job. I wasn’t altogether shocked with some of the clues that were provided and then her ability to dial in and figure out who it was. What three people sing together or have? So you reduce the pool of all humanity down to that part of humanity that is a group. I think that when you’re performing as a group, you’re slightly more identifiable than if you are an individual, clearly because it’s three people. Knight: Let me just jump in here and say something I think I observed because we were guessed, which is not altogether common on the show. The feeling you get when you’re watching the show on television at home is very much happening for real in that room, so the excitement. Lookinland: Having watched the show at home, I wouldn’t have guessed that the excitement in that room, with the panel and the audience and the celebrity guests, was as real as it was for us. Obviously, it comes from our era and has a level of theatrics to it and fun that I’m sure played.Īnd after the unmasking, you spoke about not performing together in years and the fun of getting to do that here. Knight: When it was finally decided that it would be The Monkees’ theme, there was some concern that it might have been too dated for the audience to remember or to know, and I’m still not sure that’s true. My life was pretty much about Mummies and The Masked Singer for a good two weeks, at least. So the song you see is just the one that made it through the cut, but we had been rehearsing nearly half a dozen songs before we got to the one we performed. Lookinland: When it was weeded down from that couple dozen songs to a handful, we started working on that whole handful - lyrics, what key the song would be in. We just thought we should take on The Monkees. Eventually, it got whittled down from probably more than 20, but there was theme that guided it. Williams: There were several songs that were suggested by all of us, and then there’s the process of weeding through what would be appropriate, what wouldn’t be, what could be cleared. It did look like you were having fun on the stage, especially in your performance. I might add that my entire life has been led by being an unmasked singer, leading to potentially some scarring for music, but the fact is there’s a little Brady in this in that it was a family, at least part of it, a unified group, and finding that Barry and Mike were both very excited about the opportunity, I found myself in a place where I couldn’t deny them that opportunity.
He was good.Ĭhristopher Knight: Thank you very much for the support. Just adding to what Barry said, Chris really showed up and stepped up and carried his weight, and singing and dancing is more of a Barry Williams and a Mike Lookinland thing, not so much a Chris Knight thing. Mike Lookinland: I want to join Barry in that and just say right up front that first of all, it was like, wow, they’re calling us to be on that show, knowing it’s a giant smash hit. And both Michael Lookinland and I gave him a lot of support and encouragement, and he was a real trooper for coming in and filling out the trio. I thought it would be a really, really fun experience, but I knew that Chris would need some encouragement. What made you say yes to doing The Masked Singer? Did one of you have to convince the others?īarry Williams: I was very excited to get this call.
Here, the Mummies open up about their time on the show. The Mummies were The Brady Bunch‘s Barry Williams, Christopher Knight, and Mike Lookinland, while Fortune Teller was Shark Tank‘s, Daymond John. The Mummies and Fortune Teller each took the stage hoping to send Harp, who has come out on top in two episodes already, home, but instead, they were the ones unmasked.
