Nicole Scherzinger is pretty sure she knows the identities of the two-person Banana Split costume on Wednesday’s episode of “The Masked Singer.” She just can’t seem to spit it out.
In TheWrap’s exclusive clip from the episode, which you can view via the video above, Scherzinger guesses that the Banana part of the split is “The Office” alum and “A Quiet Place” franchise director John Krasinski.
Actually, she says “John Krongowski,” “John Macaroni” and “John Kransinski,” because she cannot for the life of her manage to pronounce Krasinski, despite a lot of coaching from her fellow judges.
Nicole’s John KRASINSKI guess leads her to theorize that the ice cream portion of the costume is his wife, actress Emily Blunt. Now that name she nails no problem.
Here’s the official description for Wednesday’s “The Masked Singer,” which sees Banana Split, Caterpillar, Mallard and Queen of Hearts compete in the Group B semifinals that end with a double elimination:
