The Masked Singer clipped the wings of the Raven on Wednesday, ousting her from the costumed singing competition. But that meant viewers of the Fox TV series got to see the mystery performer behind the mask.
The reveal surprised many but not panelist Robin Thicke , who correctly guessed Ravens true identity.
The show did drop some obvious hints. Raven said in her clue package that she went silent after making a career of talking to people. That got panelists presuming she was a talk-show host.
