'The Masked Singer': Bob Saget is the Squiggly Monster, comedian puts Obama guesses to rest after elimination

Audiences watching the show were more than sure that the White House clue in Squiggly Monster's clue package video was pointing to Obama

'The Masked Singer' eliminated yet another masked celebrity from Group C on Wednesday, November 4, night. The Squiggly Monster was eliminated after receiving the least amount of votes from judges, studio audiences as well as fans watching from home. Before he could be unmasked, all the judges including guest judge Wayne Brady guessed it could be comedian Bob Saget under the mask.

A section of audiences from home too was guessing Saget's name as the Squiggly Monster since he performed for the first time last week and all the clues that were a part of his clue package pointed out to Saget. 

However, 'TMS' audiences know that the clue packages are very vague and it's not easy to decipher them correctly most of the time. Especially for the judges who've proven to have more incorrect guesses than the audiences watching from home who always come through with the correct guesses more often than not. However, Squiggly's performance on Wednesday night threw the audiences off as well and a huge section of fans took to Twitter to declare that they think it's former President Barack Obama under the mask. 

"Watching #TheMaskedSinger and #SquigglyMonsterMask is Barack Obama... just FYI," tweeted a fan. "@BarackObama Mr Obama sir, if you are Squiggly monster on #TheMaskedSinger, I knew since the beginning," wrote another. "Hear me out. Either @BarackObama or the comedian that impersonates him. Alpha Kat I think his name is. Help Me out people #TheMaskedSinger," wrote another fan. 

"Seeeeeeee I know it’s Obama. His hand gestures when he speaks. The clues maannn. Y’all. #TheMaskedSinger," read another tweet. "How do y’all NOT KNOW THAT THIS IS BARACK OBAMA?!! #TheMaskedSinger the clues are so obvious. I know my President," claimed another. 

The White House clue in the package was majorly responsible for leading most of them to believe it could be Obama. However, that was an allusion to the Presidential campaign that Saget had announced in July after rapper Kanye West declared that he'd be running for office.

"Should I run for President too? I don't [know] much about anything..." The next day he tweeted, "Last night, as a joke, I tweeted and asked if I should run for President too. But thanks to all your kind support, I've made a decision." He followed it up with a campaign poster calling for votes for himself and John Stamos as president and vice president, adding the slogan, "Full House in the White House."

However, the truth is out there after the elimination finally putting those Obama guesses to rest. The recent episode marked the end of the playoffs and next week, the masked celebrities that still stand in the competition will battle it out in the quarter-finals and try to advance to the semi-finals. 

'The Masked Singer' airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on FOX.
