TVLINE | A bunch of our readers have said that The Masked Singer is a nice hour they can watch with their families, and this seems of its ilk. Because on The Masked Singer, you’re saying, “Who is the singer?” And I Can See Your Voice, it’s more like, “Is that singer good or bad?” I give Fox a lot of credit for the placement of the show because, whether I’m involved or not, there’s a nice throughline for the show… The aestethic and the tone - I look at it as a two-hour block of musical mystery. It’s like a rollercoaster ride where it starts off, segued out of The Masked Singer, like “Choo-choo, this is a lovely train.” And then at the end, you’re like, “Oh my god, this is a rollercoaster that is going in a loop, up and down, and then backwards, up and down.”īut at the end of the day, it’s really a good companion for The Masked Singer. Probably more dumb!” And then at the end, they’re like, “What is going on here? I feel like I just went through a final!” It just ratchets up. Because when you look at it on first glance, it’s like, “OK, that’s the dumb guy from The Masked Singer having his own show. What I can safely say: There’s a lot more suspense than meets the eye. TVLINE | About how often are the contestants right? Including the pilot, I’ve done over 10 of these, and it is very stressful at the end. And here’s the catch: In the final round, if the contestant decides to go for it and risk it all to win $100,000, if the last singer standing is a bad singer, that person wins nothing. And if the singer’s got a beautiful voice in the early rounds, we’re all devastated. So you’re having that dynamic in the early rounds: If the singer is bad, we’re all jumping for joy, because we’ve won $10,000.


And when that singer sings a song, you can tell right off the bat that they’re a bad singer. Yes… At the end, when every singer is eliminated, they’re eliminated by actually singing a song. TVLINE | If the singer is a bad singer, does the duet still happen? If that singer is a good singer, you can win up to $100,000.

And then that good singer, hopefully a good singer, will do a musical duet with - like in our series premiere - Nick Lachey. In a nutshell: You want to eliminate as many bad singers as possible so the last singer standing is a good one at the end. Because if the last singer remaining is a good singer, then you can win up to $100,000. If they’re bad singers, you win $10,000 per round, until the very end. Because there are a lot of moving parts - to your point - to the format… And we’re doing that by helping you determine if these six secret voices are “good” singers or “bad” singers. That’s the way I look at the show, that’s the way I explain the show to the contestant while on air. Ultimately, this show is all about helping somebody win $100,000. TVLINE | I’ve read about the show, but I have to admit: I don’t fully understand how it all shakes out. 23, at 9/c), we asked Jeong to give us a run-through of how the South Korean format has been adapted for American audiences. And I think it’s directly because of the world we live in.”Īhead of I Can See Your Voice‘s series debut (Wednesday, Sept. On both of those shows, I’ve had moments of unexpected emotion. We’re all looking for an escape,” he says, laughing as he refers to the show’s cast. “Usually the logline is, you want to give the viewer an escape. “Maybe because of the world we live in with the pandemic,” Jeong muses to TVLine, adding that I Can See Your Voice and its lead-in, The Masked Singer (on which he is a panelist) gave him the same feeling.

Host Ken Jeong certainly didn’t… and then he found himself experiencing - in his own, incredulous words - “emotional beats” in the midst of an unscripted musical series.
