Others tried to solve the mystery of the skeleton by carefully thinking over the clues given on the show about the singer. Fans were quick to comprehend that the clue could be directed to the singer's association with 'The Late Show with David Letterman.' 

"I'm fairly certain Skeleton is Paul Shaffer (4,261 episodes of The Late Show with David Letterman)," noted one user. Another chimed in by noting, "Sorry Ken but The Skeleton is Paul Shaffer the bandleader and SIDEKICK of The Late Show With David Letterman. Someone said they think it might be him and I did research." 

However, some had other speculation about who the singer could be in the skeleton mask. "I Say it's Dana Carvey Since @danacarvey was always second Banana to Mike Myers since While Mike Myers has had a Successful Acting Career on his own, Dana only has one movie to his name and that's The Master Of Disguise!! and It BOMBED!!," noted one user, while another added, "Definitely Martin Short... (playing 2nd fiddle to Steve Martin's banjo) he has a distinctive voice and great comedic timing... also, he has been a Broadway star." Looks like we will just have to wait and find out who got it right.
