In an exclusive First Look trailer for The Masked Singer season 8, Ken shared that the upcoming season is his favorite because “everything feels like a finale each and every time.” He gushed, “You feel the tension. You feel the highs. You feel the lows of the show even more sharply. That’s why this season is genuinely my favorite season ever.” In the trailer, Ken says that The Masked Singer has “amazing” costumes, performances, and reveals. Clips of many of the upcoming performances are shown, as Nicole shares that “everything is bigger: the audience, the talent, the voice.” She also teases her own upcoming performance on the show.
