Hosted by comic Craig Robinson, with panelists Ken Jeong, Paula Abdul, Brian Austin Green and Ashley Tisdale, "The Masked Dancer" is a top-secret dance competition in which celebrities shake their tail feathers while covered from head to toe in elaborate costumes and face masks, leaving audiences to guess their identities. Costumed celebrities are joined on stage by masked partners and back-up dancers as they perform a series of dances together, spanning from hip-hop to salsa, jazz to tap dancing and more. When it comes to dance styles, the sky is the limit. Each week, a series of clues is sprinkled throughout packages, costumes and routines, leading the panelists one step closer to figuring out which famous faces are behind the masks.

Cyrus K @Keyflame626 01/11/2023 I really like the concept of the show, but unlike the masked singer i didn't get into this one. See more 06/06/2021 The dancing and choreography were of a high standard. I stayed with the show to see who got knocked out and who were the winners each time. It can't have been easy for any of them to dance in those costumes. See more 06/06/2021 What a total waste of TV viewing time! B list tv personalities (not celebrities) shouting out random names of other B list tv personalities who are then told by the others "fantastic guess". They are so wrong each time with their guessing, that there is no point to this other than to sell advertising. How can the UK public be so dim to watch such utter drivel and be entertained? Probably the same ones who sit glued to Love island/get me out of here type of programmes. See more kev s @RT64212540 06/02/2021 Like the Masked singer, it is utter garbage except even worse, the Z listers pretending to be shocked and exited about which other Z lister is under the cumbersome disguise in tedious. Please please please put some proper programs on TV instead of a vehicle for all the Z listers that have been created in other rubbish reality tv shows etc. See more 02/22/2021 Boring. It's just dancing with the stars but with bigger costumes. Craig Robinson is a joke of a host. Ken is starting to get annoying. If there is another season get contestants who can actually dance. Just having three good dancers doesn't make the show interesting. See more 02/20/2021 Stupidest show ever. See more Read all reviews
