Dee Snider Surprises Fans by Revealing His Identity on 'The Masked Singer'

Dee Snider finally removed his mask on "The Masked Singer" and revealed that he is none other than Doll.

The international hit competition show "The Masked Singer" invites celebrities to face one another while wearing costumes and full-face masks to conceal their identities. Snider's appearance, on the other hand, was seemingly unexpected as no one was able to guess who he was.

Dee Snider Is "The Masked Singer" Doll

On the April 5 episode of "The Masked Singer," Snider became the latest celebrity to be revealed to the panelists and viewers. The Twisted Sister frontman turned out to be Doll.

Unfortunately, none of them got his identity right. Ken Jeong thought it was Austin Butler, while Nicole Scherzinger said he could be David Lee Roth.

Meanwhile, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg and Robin Thicke guessed Iggy Pop and Gene Simmons, respectively. Snider then told host Nick Cannon that he could not believe no one guessed it right before joking that their guesses or anyone else could not wear pumps as he did.

"By the way, ladies, it's like riding a bike. I wore them in the '70s. It all came back to me once I put them on," the frontman went on before having an impromptu performance of Twisted Sister's song, "We're Not Gonna Take It."

Doll came in third place after Dandelion and Mantis after performing Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock." He was the 13^th act to be eliminated, following Dick Van Dyke, Sara Evans, Howie Mandel, Debbie Gibson, Grandmaster Flash, Michael Bolton, Malin Akerman, Lele Pons, Alexa Bliss, Holly Robinson Peete, George Wendt, and Christine Quinn.

Dee Snider Shares Why He Decided To Join "The Masked Singer"

In a separate interview with Entertainment Weekly, Snider was asked why he decided to join the show. Per the singer, he was actually asked to join its season one but declined since he thought "The Masked Singer" would not work.

But after nine seasons, he finally decided to make an appearance just like what he did when he was tapped to appear in the "Sharknado" franchise.

Snider took his time to open up about the difficulties he faced while performing in Doll costume. Although it would seal his face and body, he reportedly had to remove his natural performing poses and gestures.

He revealed that he tried to move more than what he would normally do, but his limited range of vision and difficulty in wearing heels made it more difficult for him.
