WHY ISN’T NICK CANNON HOSTING THE MASKED SINGER  TONIGHT?

For the past four seasons, The Masked Singer has been hosted by Nick Cannon, but things will look slightly different tonight.

Fox has not yet announced how many episodes Nash will appear in, but regardless, a breath of fresh air is always appreciated.
