'The Masked Singer' Spoilers: Cluedledoo is Donnie Wahlberg, here are all clues you missed
Update - Donnie Wahlberg was revealed as the Cluedledoo at the end of the semifinal episode of 'The Masked Singer'
The Cluedledoo on 'The Masked Singer' has proved to be one of the most fun elements of the current season. He might be a nightmare for the judges as he drops in totally unexpected and meddles with the clue packages that could help the panel guess the identities of the masked celebrities. But the audiences seem to love him and his antics and they are in for a surprise as the show is ready to finally reveal his identity in the upcoming episode.
The final four singers - the Chameleon, the Yeti, the Black Swan, and the Piglet will sing their hearts out for a spot in the finale episode that will air on May 26. One of them will be going home at the end of the episode, meaning we will find out the true identity of one of these celebrities. But Cluedledoo's reveal will be much bigger and interesting as audiences have been waiting since week 1 to know his identity. Apart from a few scattered clues here and there, there's not much information about him, contrary to the performers who have a new clue package every week. But a little sleuthing goes a long way and we think we have his identity on lock, here's what we know about him.

Clues about the Cluedledoo
Cluedledoo's was a new addition to Season 5 which is touted as a "game-changing" season and the judges quite aggressively push this thought across by mentioning it every chance they get. Yes, we are complaining. Coming back to the clue master, the Cluedledoo is a rooster who dresses like a clown and in the beginning, there were rumors swirling that he's a massive celebrity.
This rumor was confirmed during the Maskie Awards and singalong special before the quarterfinals that he is indeed an undercover celebrity and has a connection to Michael Rourke. For those who don't know, the actor was on the last season of the show, and in very Rourke fashion he unmasked himself even before the judges could take a vote. Why? Because he felt "too hot" inside the costume. Simple!
“You know I’m not just a roaster rooster who likes to cause chaos. I’m an undercover celebrity myself. I’ve helped with clues to the other masks, but [now] you want the very first clue to who I am, too? Drumstick — I mean, drumroll, please. I have a connection to another mischievous masked singer from the past, the Gremlin. So chew on that! I’ll see you soon when my identity will be revealed right on that stage. Cluedle-Doo bids you adieu," the Cluedledoo said about himself.
Donnie Wahlberg is the Cluedledoo
It won't be wrong to assume that the New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) boy bander Donnie Wahlberg is the Cluedledoo. His name has been guessed on the show since Season 1 by all four judges for various masked celebrities and every time they've turned out to be wrong. From what we can gather from Cluedledoo's clues it is indeed Jenny McCarthy's husband who has finally made his way on the show.
First things first, the Mickey Rourke clue is very telling because the two have worked together in a film called 'Bullet' which happened to be Wahlberg's first film role. Then comes the three-in-one clue that he presented about his identity to the judges. He said, "You've seen me in the kitchen, now solve my identity like you'd solve a jigsaw puzzle. Even Ken Jeong should figure me out!"
For those who don't know yet, the Wahlberg's are the founders and owners of the popular burger chain Wahlburgers which is also the focus of A&E's reality show by the same name starring Donnie and his brother Mark. The jigsaw puzzle could be a reference to the 'SAW' movie franchise where Wahlberg played Eric Matthews. The Ken clue could a reference to the 2011 film 'Zookeeper' starring 'The Masked Singer' judge and Wahlberg.
Donnie Wahlberg is the Cluedledoo or not will only be revealed on the episode. Until then tell us in the comments if you agree with our guess.
'The Masked Singer' airs every Wednesday at 8 pm ET on FOX.
