| 7 | Barry Zito: "Hi, there. It's me, Barry Zito, season 3's Rhino. You know what they say, 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks,' but I can tell you firsthand my friend, Sherlock Hound, begs to differ." Sherlock Hound: "My whole family was into music. My grandma taught it, and my old man played the keys. But, I wanted to be outside running wild, not cooped up playing a cello. When I heard rock and roll, it unleashed a passion inside. Some might say a mystery, I had to solve. There I was, tracking that scent through campfires, dive bars, and tour buses. I was on to something, something big." Barry Zito: "Something huge, and we've even had some of the best jam sessions ever. Now, you're assigned to the biggest case ever, here on The Masked Singer. America, are you gonna figure out his identity, or is the case gonna go cold?" |
