Cheyenne Jackson Calls His Masked Singer Experience 'Profound'
Cheyenne Jackson came in third place as Prince during The Masked Singer season 7 finale, and the contestant has called his experience of the show "profound." Cheyenne made it to the top three finalists along with Firefly, who won the competition and was revealed as Teyana Taylor, and Ringmaster, revealed as Hayley Orrantia. The panelists had all kinds of guesses for Prince's identity, ranging from Ricky Martin to Ben Platt. However, Nicole Scherzinger finally connected the dots right before Prince's reveal and was the only one to correctly guess Cheyenne. During the finale, the contestant performed «Viva la Vida» by Coldplay and blew the panelists away with his incredible vocals.
Some hints included in Prince's final clue package were a pin that read "Glee Club Alumni," a photo of Ryan Murphy in front of an American flag, and a Broadway street sign. The panelists initially connected these clues to Ricky and Ben; however, fans of the show had been theorizing for months that Cheyenne was behind the Prince costume, and the clues added up very well to his identity. Cheyenne had a guest role on Glee (created by Ryan), as Dustin Goolsby. He also appeared on Ryan's other show American Horror Story, which explains the American flag clue. When Nicole made her final guess, she pointed out that the photo of a cat in his package referenced his role on the FOX sitcom, Call Me Kat.
