The Masked Singer's Post-Super Bowl Premiere Reveals Shocking First Celeb: Who Is the Robot?

Is season 3 of The Masked Singer bigger than ever? It sure looks like it. Following Super Bowl LIV, the massive reality hit show returned with a brand new season. The Sunday, February 2, episode introduced six new characters during the premiere, who have appeared in a combined nine Super Bowls. For the big event, guest judge Jamie Foxx joined the panel made up of Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy and Robin Thicke. Before the competition began, host Nick Cannon explained this season's updated format. Season 3 includes 18 masked singers, who will be split into three groups of six: Group A, Group B and Group C. In the first three episodes, Group A will perform until three are left standing. Group B, then Group C will do the same until there are nine total competitors left. Then the finalists will battle to become the winner. Wayne Brady's Fox took home the trophy at the end of season 2, following in T-Pain's Monster's footsteps. The rapper, who won season 1, had everyone fooled. During Sunday's episode, new character Miss Monster was introduced — a character who was in love with Monster! He even joined by her for a surprise during her performance. When the singer with the least amount of votes was unmasked, the judges were truly shocked, McCarthy, 47, previewed with Us Weekly exclusively ahead of the premiere. "When they take the mask off the person in episode 1, we lose our minds,” she said while promoting her SiriusXM's pre-Super Bowl show. "We all get it wrong. We all get it wrong because we were not expecting it to be this person. America will get it wrong." She also noted that this season includes so many "household" names that everyone will be shocked. Scroll through the gallery below to meet the first six characters competing — and find out who was the first to be unmasked. [podcast_block]

White Tiger

Clues: The numbers "5/3" were on a whiteboard while the tiger walked the halls inside a high school. He said he sought out perfection his entire life but had a "giant career." A clam-shucking award was highlighted, as was a photo of Abraham Lincoln.

Judges' guesses: John Cena, Rob Gronkowski, Jason Momoa

Turtle

Clues: After starting on a track surrounded by runners wearing bunny ears, the turtle said he had watched stars burn out through the years. He made a "step by step" reference, stood with a surfboard and flipped burgers.

Judges' guesses: Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Zac Efron

Llama

Clues: The llama was hosting a radio show on 23.3 when his video began. He showed a pair of playing cards — a jack and an ace (i.e., 21/blackjack), a statue of Buddha and made a reference to Seattle. Later, he showed a remake of the clay scene from Ghost. After his performance, he said he dressed wacky in real life, like just like the llama.

Judges' guesses: David Spade, Joel McHale

Miss Monster

Clues: She loved hairspray and all things girly, but said that in her life, she was always misunderstood. Her locker was No. 10 and the inside was plastered with pictures of season 1's Monster, whom she had a crush on. She also used slang like "Darlin'" in her video.

Guesses: Dolly Parton, Mary J. Blige, Dionne Warwick

Kangaroo

Clues: She's a "survivor" who recently lost someone who held her family together. She's been "in the spotlight for the wrong reasons" and her video included a phonograph, making the judges think she could be a Grammy winner. She came on the competition series to show her family that "bullies never win."

Judges' guesses: Jordin Sparks, Kelly Rowland, Iggy Azalea

Robot

Clues: During his video, a periodic table of elements was shown, he explained he always needed a tough outer shell and made a reference to "weighing in." Additionally, he showed a video game controller and a skateboarder hitting a firetruck.

After his performance, he said he'd never done anything like this in his career. The judges were stumped — but when he received the least amount of votes, they had to give their final guesses.

Nicole: Floyd Mayweather
Robin: Shawn White
Jamie: Steve-O
Ken: Flavor Flav
Jenny: Johnny Knoxville

Then, he was unmasked, completely shocking everyone. Underneath that robot mask was ... Lil Wayne! 

The Masked Singer will air in its regular time slot on Fox Wednesday, February 5, at 8 p.m. ET.
