Yo, I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want. “The Masked Singer” guest panelist Taraji P. Henson (who took off her scarab appearance earlier this season) will return on next week’s “Spice Girls Night” episode in her Scary Spice guise. Zigzaji, ah!
Considering the grueling competition of the Winter Olympics, there will be no new episodes of “The Masked Singer” this week. Instead, Fox will rebroadcast the 2024 special “The Real Full Monty” featuring the late James Van Der Beek, who appeared at an event to raise money and awareness for the Colorectal Cancer Alliance.
But when “The Masked Singer” returns to “Spice Girls Night” next week, Henson will be there wearing the “Scarab Spice, aka Scary Spice” costume, and Variety has two first looks.
This episode features contestants singing iconic Spice Girls songs, including Crane (singing “Say You’ll Be There”), Snowcone (singing “Wannabe”), and Pugcasso (singing “Too Much”).
And Henson wasn’t the only panelist to dress up as a Spice Girl. Others are:
