'The Masked Singer' : Dr. Drew Pinsky Is Revealed as Eagle

TV and radio personality Dr. Drew Pinsky got eliminated on Wednesday's episode of The Masked Singer after performing as an all-American eagle

The Masked Singer introduced the final four of its 16 new season 2 contestants on Wednesday’s episode. Eagle, Flower, Fox and Penguin took the stage for the first time, but Eagle’s run on the show ended almost as soon as it began.

The Eagle was sent home at the end of the night and revealed to be Dr. Drew Pinsky.

“Very bizarre,” Pinsky, 61, told host Nick Cannon about his brief tenure on the Fox singing competition.

Judges Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke offered their initial guesses for the last crop of disguised performers and Cannon tried to help facilitate by asking each contestant how they embody their character.

After the studio audience voted Eagle and Penguin as the losers of their faceoffs, they went head-to-head in the smackdown round. The judges ultimately sent Eagle packing after Pinsky’s performance of “These Boots Are Made for Walking.”

Pinsky joins this season’s already-eliminated contestants: videogame streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins (Ice Cream) and Olympic ice skater Johnny Weir (Egg), who were ousted during week 1, and fighter Laila Ali (Panda), who got the boot at the end of week 2’s show.

Here’s how everything went down when the remaining batch of Masked Singer newbies made their debuts on Wednesday:
