Nicole Scherzinger thinks fellow The Masked Singer panelist Jenny McCarthy's cousin Melissa McCarthy is hiding inside the Baby Mammoth costume on the show. The large pink costume from Team Cuddly debuted during episode 7 of the show, along with Prince, Cobra, Space Bunny and Jack in the Box, who was revealed as former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The Mammoth's clue package included a pink megaphone with the word "cheer" written across it and a box of matches. The performer sang a rendition of «Walkin' After Midnight» by Patsy Cline, and the panelists guessed stars like figure skater Nancy Kerrigan and actress Kathleen Turner.
If Nicole's guess is correct, it wouldn't be the first time someone with a close relationship to Jenny appeared on the show. During The Masked Singer season 5, the show introduced fans and panelists to a character named Cluedle-Doo. The character was not a contestant and did not perform on the show but instead regularly interrupted the show to give the viewers and panelists clues about which celebrities were performing during that season. During the semifinals episode, Cluedle-Doo made his debut performance, singing «Return Of The Mack» by Mark Morrison. He then challenged the panelists to guess his identity before revealing that he was in fact Jenny's husband, Donnie Wahlberg. The panelist fell to the floor in shock when the New Kids On The Block member unmasked himself.
