Masked Singer's Baby Alien responds to judges' wrong guesses
The Masked Singer US season 4 spoilers ahead!
The latest departure from The Masked Singer US, Baby Alien, has addressed the judging panel's inability to guess who was beneath the costume.
Chatting to Entertainment Weekly following his exit last week, ex-NFL player Mark Sanchez suggested he wasn't surprised that the likes of Nicole Scherzinger and Ken Jeong failed to identify him.

"I thought the clue package was so hard," he said. "I obviously know it's me, but I still second-guessed it a couple times when I watched the clue package.
"I was like, 'Wait, what?' Yeah, that was tough. And I think the accent totally threw everybody for a loop. They thought maybe [I was] Sacha Baron Cohen or something like that. I knew they wouldn't guess me."

Discussing the Eastern European accent he adopted for the show, Mark explained that he "ran it by" the bosses beforehand.
"I just said: 'You know, I've heard people in past seasons talk in Southern accents, or change up their voice a little bit, or sound more American if they're foreign, to throw people off.' And they said, 'Yeah, that's totally on the table'."
"And this year, they're actually making the judges compete to see if any of their initial guesses are correct, so it was an added wrinkle."
