| 8 | “Did you hear that? It may be scared of you, but I’m used to spooky sounds. It started when I was thrown into a competition with the most monstrous names in the industry. And was told that only one of us would get out with a job. I gave it my best effort, but never dreamed I’d be the one they called. I’m sure glad they did, because my work has earned a permanent place in pop culture. But I have a confession. The whole thing was a lie. I told the world I wasn’t afraid of anything, even a scary movie. But I’m actually terrified of the dark. There’s no night light on the Masked Singer, so tonight I’m putting that fear aside so I can smoke my competition.” |
