This is The Masked Singer's Poodle Moth.
A beloved member of the This Is Us family was revealed as the fuzzy flyer during the Fox singing competition's quarterfinals on May 8, with judge Ken Jeong visibly moved by the contestant's personal journey as the underdog.
After all, Poodle Moth—who had been saved from elimination earlier in the season—was very candid about her past as a struggling performer in her clue package. "Being saved reminded me of another time in my life when I was saved right when I needed it most," she said. "Before my big break, I had no cash, a credit card gaining interest and even borrow money for gas. I was afraid of answering my phone just in case it was a debt collectors."
But as it turns out, fate was on the other end of the line and the winged wonder got a call that "changed everything."
"I got my big break and, well, the rest is history," she continued. "Now, all these years later, I'm here on the most fantastical stage singing my heart out as the adorable Poodle Moth."
When it came to the judges' guesses for the celeb behind the costume, Ken suspected Melissa McCarthy, Robin Thicke chose Shania Twain and Rita Ora picked Faith Hill. However, it was Jenny McCarthy who correctly deduced that Poodle Moth was none other than This Is Us star Chrissy Metz after the final clue suggested that the masked moth is a Golden Globe nominee.
"Oh my god," Jenny said after Chrissy's unmasking. "I can't even believe it!"
So, why did Chrissy join The Masked Singer?
"I'm still educating people on me being a singer, so it was part of the reason I wanted to do this show," the 43-year-old told host Nick Cannon. "We're really going full throttle. You don't even know how much sweat is in this suit."
