Ladies, gentlemen, and non-binary friends — allow me to present to you the funniest thing you’ll see all day. Nay, all week. Hell, maybe even all year.
A while back, we reported here at Political Tribune on the news from Deadline that two judges on the popular Fox competition show, The Masked Singer, walked off the stage in protest during a taping of the show when one of the contestants unmasked themselves only to turn out to be none other than Donald Trump’s own former personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani.
“Deadline hears that as soon as they saw Giuliani, judges Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke quickly left the stage in protest,” Deadline reported at the time, “while Jeong and Thicke exited (they eventually returned), fellow judges Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger remained onstage. They bantered with Giuliani, a controversial figure for pressing what is widely derided as a baseless claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from his client Donald Trump.”
However, at the time of original reporting, the episode had not yet aired on TV, and we were only able to go off reporting from inside sources with knowledge on the matter, as the publication declined to spoil the show by revealing “which costume Rudy wore or what his swan song was.”

But folks, we now have the footage!
In a new clip posted to Twitter by CNN report Andrew Kaczynski, we finally get to witness none other than Rudy-freakin’-Giuliani, dressed as a Jack-in-the-Box singing… wait for it… George Thorogood and the Destroyer’s “Bad To The Bone” as judge Kim Jeong storms off the stage with a fuming, “I’m done.”
Giuliani’s performance of the hit tune was… Well… Bad, as he didn’t even really sing the song, but rather sort of talked it, and kept his dance moves t a bare minimum.
After his unveiling, host Nick Cannon said, “Well, Mr. Giuliani, with all of the controversy that’s surrounding you right now, I think it surprises us all that you’re here on ‘The Masked Singer,'” as the shack throughout the entire room was rather palpable.
“Me too,” Giuliani responded before going on to explain that his new granddaughter Grace was the one to convince him to do the show.
“I want (Grace) to know that you should try everything,” the former personal attorney to Donald Trump said. “Even things that are completely unlike you and unlikely. I couldn’t think of anything more unlike me and unlikely than this. And I enjoy the show. I have for years. And it just seemed like it would be fun, and I don’t get to have a lot of fun.”
