This was not the first time when Giuliani dominated trends online. Ken Jeong had the courage and the dignity do the right thing. Honestly, I feel this way about the entire premise of this show. However, that didn’t stop people from criticising the network. The filming of his exit episode made headlines back in February. Although it was shot months ago, public only saw it when it was aired on Wednesday night. See? It’s all just a fun joke.

Judge Ken Jeong has been praised by fans of the show for his reaction to Rudy Giuliani appearing on the singing competition.

The place where he pushed the conspiracy theories about the election that have poisoned our politics forever is just a fun clue on a fun show because nothing matters.” But if we’re right, and a lot of them will go to jail. And if we’re wrong, we will be made fools of. She’s too old for you.” Prior to the mob of Trump supporters storming the US Capitol on 6 January 2021, a “Save America” rally was held earlier in the day during which Giuliani game a speech in which he called for a “trial by combat” whilst pushing the conspiracy theory that the election was “stolen” from Trump by voter fraud.

'The Masked Singer' episode featuring Rudy Giuliani's unmasking aired on Wednesday, falling to a season low in viewership for the Fox show.

To date, this season of “The Masked Singer” has averaged a 0.7 rating among adults 18-49 and 4.1 million total viewers in Live + Same Day Nielsen data. “The Masked Singer’s” demo has also taken a hit, going from a 1.0 with the seventh-season opener down to a 0.6 for the week-ago episode, which it matched this week. “Survivor” had a 0.8 rating and 5.2 million viewers, while “Chicago Med” had a 0.6 and 6.5 million. “I couldn’t think of anything more unlike me and unlikely than this. Giuliani said on stage that “the main reason” he decided to do “The Masked Singer” — a Fox casting choice that received enormous backlash when it was first leaked by Deadline earlier this year — is because he just had a granddaughter. In “most current” data, which includes a week’s worth of delayed viewing, “The Masked Singer” rises to an average of 5.9 million viewers.

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani was revealed as a "Masked Singer" contestant during the April 20 episode.

Giuliani was suspended from practicing law in New York last year when a court found that he had made “demonstrably false” statements about Trump’s 2020 election loss. And I enjoy the show. Originally reported in February, the episode April 20 that led to judge Ken Jeong walking off set.

Rudy Giuliani Unveils Himself on The Masked Singer, Chaos Ensues (Vanity Fair)

Shortly after Giuliani revealed himself to be the “Jack in the Box," judge Ken Jeong said “I'm done” and walked off set.

In 2020, he made an unforgettable appearance in Borat 2, sticking his hands down his pants in a hotel room with what he believed to be a young female journalist, played by Maria Bakalova. While Giuliani claimed his Borat 2 cameo was nothing more than “ a complete fabrication,” like his regrettable stint on The Masked Singer, it was caught on-camera—forever saved for posterity's sake. Deadline first reported in February that Giuliani would be appearing on Fox's hit competition show, declining to reveal which contestant he was in order to maintain the “integrity” of the show. Rudy Giuliani may have been temporarily banned from practicing law in the state of New York, but, unfortunately, he has yet to be banned from singing on national television.

“My heart does go out to @kenjeong. I know how you feel,” added another fan. The guy should be in jail, not a tv show #TheMaskedSinger “Seeing Jenny McCarthy and Nicole dancing and laughing was upsetting to say the least. The former mayor said he was “so glad” that he decided to participate. Instead, the episode stuck with Scherzinger and Jenny McCarthy, who thanked Giuliani for appearing on the show. The unmasking was met with gasps and looks of shock from the studio audience, while host Nick Cannon was also stunned.

Of all the messed-up things that have ever popped out of a jack-in-the-box, disgraced former mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani is by far the scariest. “Well, Mr. Giuliani, with all of the controversy that’s surrounding you right now,” says Cannon in a large understatement, “I think it surprises us all that you’re here on The Masked Singer.” Giuliani says he did the show because “it seemed like it would be fun.

'The Masked Singer' Slips To Season Lows With Giuliani Reveal ... (Deadline)

Rudy Giuliani's unmasking on T'he Masked Singer' finally aired on Fox, but brought the series to season lows on Wednesday.

In addition to The Masked Singer, Survivor bested Chicago Med (0.6, 6.46M), a recently renewed The Goldberg (0.5, 2.84M), Freddie Mercury: The Final Act (0.1, 0.90M) on The CW, and The Wonder Years (0.3, 1.78M). That last title still awaits news on a renewal. A Million Little Things (0.3, 1.74M), also yet to be renewed or canceled, was steady. The competition series also climbed up to surpass 5 million viewers. Per fast affiliates, the latest and most-anticipated episode of The Masked Singer earned a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demo and 3.59 million viewers. The Masked Singer, however, did mark Fox’s top Wednesday program, as it typically does. Giuliani’s unmasking now marks the least-watched episode of the season, dipping even further from the previous week’s 3.82 million audience. CBS closed things out with a new episode of Good Sam (0.2, 1.64M). The night came to a close with a stable Chicago P.D. (0.7, 5.97) at the top. At 9 p.m., Chicago Fire dominated the hour and also beat Beyond The Edge (0.3, 2.17M), Domino Masters (0.3, 1.58M) and ABC’s Home Economics (0.3, 1.64M). Despite the controversial moment, The Masked Singer struggled to come up with a primetime win on Wednesday. Instead it was Survivor (0.8, 5.17M) and Chicago Fire (0.7, 7.05M) that led the pack. In the 8 p.m. hour, Survivor won for CBS and dominated the evening overall with a slight tick up in the demo after it’s preceding two-hour episode. Rudy Giuliani’s long-awaited reveal on The Masked Singer finally aired on Fox. However, the controversial unmasking didn’t seem to pay off, with the singing series hitting season lows on Wednesday.
