Giuliani Unmasked On “The Masked Singer” [VIDEO]

CNN reports:

Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and former attorney to ex-President Donald Trump, was unmasked on Wednesday’s episode of Fox’s “The Masked Singer.” Giuliani’s appearance on the show comes as no surprise.

Back in February, it was reported that two judges had walked off during the taping of the episode after Giuliani was unmasked. Giuliani said in an interview with host Nick Cannon that he decided to come on the show to be an example for his granddaughter.

Variety rants:



Even those who were Giuliani skeptics or critics in past eras of his career can acknowledge that this is a particularly sad ending for the mayor who led New York City on September 11, 2001. The show is asking its audience to thrill to Giuliani’s aura of scandal and intrigue.

Indeed, why else place him on the so-called “Team Bad” on the season-long conceit of “The Good, the Bad, and the Cuddly,” or have him stumble through talk-singing the lyrics of “Bad to the Bone”? The show wants us to be appalled.

Treating Giuliani as a plaything for our culture, albeit one who has made some controversial choices, is not a matter of policy disagreement, or of being a bit too grave about the lighter side of the news. Fox gave time and attention to a powerful figure who would have, if given his way, put the last nail in the coffin of democracy in this country.
