\n The behind-the-scenes action on \u201cThe Masked Singer\u201d sometimes looks more like an episode of \u201cGet Smart\u201d than a top-rated talent competition series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Producers of Fox\u2019s unscript<\/a>ed primetime hit go to great lengths to keep the identities of the celebrity contestants secret during production, \u201cMasked Singer\u201d host and executive producer Nick Cannon said during at wide-ranging interview with Variety<\/em> that also touched on his previous gig as host of NBC\u2019s summer staple \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were dealing with quarantine before the coronavirus,\u201d Cannon, 39, said of his work on \u201cMasked Singer. \u201cAll of the secrecy is so inconvenient. Everyone is kept so separate in their own little areas. I can\u2019t see the talent. They arrive in secret locations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cannon doesn\u2019t know the identity of the celebrity sweating it out under the elaborate costume until it is revealed at the end of the wacky sing-off series. That\u2019s partly because of the strict FCC rules that govern the competition elements of the series. But it\u2019s also because Cannon wants to experience the show just as the audience does \u2014 trying to guess who\u2019s under the mask from clues dropped during their performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wouldn\u2019t be as much fun if I knew who it was,\u201d Cannon said. Because the show is a hit, he\u2019s been inundated with requests from friends who want to be on.<\/p>\n

\u201cMasked Singer\u201d is expected to begin production on its fourth cycle on Fox later this year. The craziness of the concept \u2014 celebrities dress up in over-the-top costumes to compete in a singing contest \u2014 appealed to Cannon. He wasn\u2019t looking for another network variety show to host after he ended an eight-season run on \u201cAGT.\u201d But the audaciousness of \u201cMasked Singer\u201d made him take the leap. The show was a surprise success from its debut in January 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really meticulous about what I would want to host again in the space of nonscripted variety since I had done it on the biggest level with \u2018AGT.\u2019 I didn\u2019t want to jump in and host another talent show,\u201d Cannon said.<\/p>\n

In the early days of \u201cMasked Singer,\u201d Cannon\u2019s single biggest concern was safety for contestants trying to perform while wearing heavy costumes. \u201cFrom the very first day I was on pins and needles hoping that no one falls off the stage in those costumes,\u201d Cannon said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Everybody\u2019s so caught up in making this massive great television show that they forget there are humans and feelings and cultural concerns.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Cannon\u2019s departure from \u201cAGT\u201d made headlines in early 2017 after he asserted publicly that he believed NBC was preparing to sanction him for making edgy jokes about the show and the network in the Showtime comedy special \u201cStand Up, Don\u2019t Shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent months, former \u201cAGT\u201d judge Gabrielle Union has been publicly critical of what she described as racism and other problems on the \u201cAGT\u201d set. Cannon said he remains \u201cunapologetic\u201d about his decision to leave the show, but he is also quick to observe: \u201cI was never upset with any individual at NBC.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cannon added that he still \u201cloves \u2018AGT\u2019 \u201d but feels the complaints voiced by Union, 47, reflect \u201ca truly systemic issue in my mind.\u201d Cannon said he had deep concerns about the way contestants were treated once they were voted off the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody\u2019s so caught up in making this massive great television show that they forget there are humans and feelings and cultural concerns,\u201d Cannon said. \u201cIn making a show that big a lot of times the machine can get a little too big and people forget that there are people involved. Once you hit them with those four X-es, they\u2019re shattered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cannon said he often tried to give post-performance emotional support to contestants who were overwhelmed by the experience. He\u2019d remind them of his own story of breaking in to Hollywood as a warmup comic when he was a teenager.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would tell them \u2018Don\u2019t let that (\u2018AGT\u2019 ouster) effect you. Don\u2019t let that stop you. This is just one moment. This doesn\u2019t mean anything about you or your gifts or your talents,\u2019 \u201d Cannon said. \u201cSometimes it takes a Gabrielle Union to remind people, \u2018Yo, there\u2019s humanity going on here.\u2019 \u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
