Beetle clues

The first clue that was slipped for this masked singer was "leaf". Before performing, Beetle explained about himself that he was born far away from the land. The masked singer got involved in public services. Later in his career, he became known to every household. While explaining about his name being common to every household, Beetel hinted that he might have had a judicial career. 

Beetle further said to the judges that they might have seen his name in London. The masked singer claimed to have the "x factor" in him. Not only did the singer have a career in the judiciary but also in acting, leading him to win a number of Emmys. As the Beetle's performance ended, the judges placed their bet on who could the masked singer be. There were three certain guesses from the judges' side, Rowan Sebastian Atkinson aka Mr Bean, Mike Meyers, and Jerry Springer. Moreover, Beetle's judge costume hint linked Springer's career in law. He practiced law at the Cincinnati firm Frost Brown Todd. 

Beetle got eliminated in the middle of the show and revealed himself to be Jerry Springer. The clues connected his personality as he was the former Mayor of Cincinnati, a politician, a journalist, an actor, and even a producer. Apart from doing public services as a politician and serving as a lawyer, Springer also got famous through his commentaries. He won seven Emmy Awards for commentaries during his tenure. Moreover, Springer was born far away from land in the London Underground station of Highgate.

With Beetle and Robogirl being eliminated, the show further declared Lambs as the queens of the Muppet Night episode. 'The Masked Singer' Season 8 releases every Wednesday at 8 pm ET/PT on FOX.
