Comedian and social media personality Claudia Oshry was revealed as Queen Corgi on Wednesday’s The Masked Singer, which featured a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed episode. Oshry performed Sia’s Unstoppable before announcing she would leave the competition voluntarily rather than face elimination.
Panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong and Rita Ora did not make final guesses due to the unexpected exit. Earlier in the episode, guesses included Amy Schumer, Ali Wong and Whitney Cummings. This is only the second time a contestant has voluntarily unmasked, following Mickey Rourke in Season 4.
Oshry told the Variety that the decision came after realising the show’s filming schedule was interfering with her responsibilities as a new mother. Relocating with her family and caring for a four-month-old baby made it difficult to continue, despite enjoying the experience. Producers were supportive, helping ensure a smooth exit without disrupting the show.
Other Contestants Move Forward
Meanwhile, Galaxy Girl, Stingray, Cat Witch and 14 Karat Carrot advanced to the next round, joining Pugcasso, Snow Cone and Crane. Contestants still awaiting performances include High Voltage, Calla Lily, Owl and Eggplant.
Queen Corgi joins earlier unmasked celebrities this season, including Taraji P. Henson, Tone Loc, Tiffany Haddish, Todd and Julie Chrisley, and David «Big Papi» Ortiz.
Season 14 continues with host Nick Cannon and panelists McCarthy-Wahlberg, Jeong, Ora and Thicke. New this season, «America’s Insider» features Kylie Cantrall providing behind-the-scenes clues while in costume as Cat Witch, visible to viewers but not the panel. Themed episodes celebrate pop culture from Star Trek to Twilight, and upcoming nights will include tributes to Fear Factor and Ozzy Osbourne.
