DARYN CARP: Ken Jeong
and Robin Thicke

00:00:01.900 --> 00:00:04.600 align:middle line:84%
seem to be less than
thrilled about a contestant

00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:06.700 align:middle line:84%
on the upcoming season
of "The Masked Singer."

00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:08.200 align:middle line:84%
"Deadline" and
"TMZ" have reported

00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:10.720 align:middle line:84%
that during last week's taping
of the Fox series' season seven

00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:12.640 align:middle line:84%
premiere, former
New York City Mayor

00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.760 align:middle line:84%
Rudy Giuliani was unmasked
as one of the contestants.

00:00:15.760 --> 00:00:17.230 align:middle line:84%
Following the
reveal, Ken and Robin

00:00:17.230 --> 00:00:19.690 align:middle line:84%
both walked off the stage
in protest of Donald

00:00:19.690 --> 00:00:20.800 align:middle line:90%
Trump's former attorney.

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.590 align:middle line:84%
According to the outlets,
fellow judges Jenny McCarthy

00:00:23.590 --> 00:00:24.970 align:middle line:84%
and Nicole
Scherzinger reportedly

00:00:24.970 --> 00:00:27.070 align:middle line:84%
remained on stage
after the reveal,

00:00:27.070 --> 00:00:29.380 align:middle line:84%
where they briefly
chatted with Giuliani.

00:00:29.380 --> 00:00:31.570 align:middle line:84%
Ken and Robin eventually made
their return to the stage,

00:00:31.570 --> 00:00:33.490 align:middle line:84%
though it is unclear
how long they were gone

00:00:33.490 --> 00:00:35.830 align:middle line:90%
for, according to "Deadline."

00:00:35.830 --> 00:00:37.570 align:middle line:84%
Well Chelsea, I mean
"The Masked Singer,"

00:00:37.570 --> 00:00:38.830 align:middle line:90%
we're going into season seven.

00:00:38.830 --> 00:00:41.860 align:middle line:84%
I've interviewed a ton of these
contestants across the board,

00:00:41.860 --> 00:00:44.230 align:middle line:84%
from Kermit the Frog
to Mickey Rourke.

00:00:44.230 --> 00:00:47.750 align:middle line:84%
Are you kind of surprised
about this story?

00:00:47.750 --> 00:00:49.510 align:middle line:84%
I mean, do you think because
this has kind of made

00:00:49.510 --> 00:00:52.480 align:middle line:84%
headlines, we'll see the shows
kind of walk off this season,

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:54.880 align:middle line:84%
or do you think that they're
going to kind of downplay it?

00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.580 align:middle line:84%
I feel like they've had a
lot of controversial people

00:00:57.580 --> 00:00:59.710 align:middle line:84%
on "The Masked Singer" before,
you know, a lot of people

00:00:59.710 --> 00:01:01.490 align:middle line:90%
have been on there.

00:01:01.490 --> 00:01:04.950 align:middle line:84%
What's your kind of take on them
walking off the stage for this?

00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:06.090 align:middle line:84%
CHELSEA WHITE:
Well, first of all,

00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:08.060 align:middle line:84%
I spent like 30 minutes
trying to Google

00:01:08.060 --> 00:01:09.680 align:middle line:84%
this last night to find
a clip, and thought

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.880 align:middle line:84%
I was just an idiot, before
I finally realized that I--

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:14.870 align:middle line:84%
Granted, I'd have like
four glasses of wine.

00:01:14.870 --> 00:01:18.560 align:middle line:84%
I was like why
can't I find this?

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.960 align:middle line:90%
It doesn't yet exist.

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:24.410 align:middle line:84%
Yeah I was a little bit
surprised, because obviously

00:01:24.410 --> 00:01:27.830 align:middle line:84%
we've had I mean, maybe
in that same vein,

00:01:27.830 --> 00:01:30.030 align:middle line:84%
the same problematic
lane, that I guess

00:01:30.030 --> 00:01:31.910 align:middle line:90%
you can put Rudy Giuliani on.

00:01:31.910 --> 00:01:34.190 align:middle line:84%
Like we had Sarah
Palin on, right?

00:01:34.190 --> 00:01:36.720 align:middle line:84%
And we had some other people who
didn't cause any of the judges

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:37.520 align:middle line:90%
to walk off.

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:38.960 align:middle line:84%
But I don't know,
I'm going to have

00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:40.940 align:middle line:84%
the maybe controversial
unpopular take,

00:01:40.940 --> 00:01:42.110 align:middle line:90%
and say good for them.

00:01:42.110 --> 00:01:45.800 align:middle line:84%
Because I think it's just
like when Trump was on Fallon,

00:01:45.800 --> 00:01:46.730 align:middle line:90%
and he just made it.

00:01:46.730 --> 00:01:49.575 align:middle line:84%
You know, that classic
episode before he was elected,

00:01:49.575 --> 00:01:50.660 align:middle line:84%
where everyone came--
DARYN CARP: The hair mussing

00:01:50.660 --> 00:01:51.593 align:middle line:90%
CHELSEA WHITE: --for Fallon.

00:01:51.593 --> 00:01:53.930 align:middle line:84%
Yeah, for the hair mussing,
and like he normalized Trump.

00:01:53.930 --> 00:01:55.340 align:middle line:90%
You know, so good for them.

00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:58.520 align:middle line:84%
If you have your convictions, it
starts with just each one of us

00:01:58.520 --> 00:01:59.840 align:middle line:90%
to stop normalizing stuff.

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:04.820 align:middle line:84%
If we feel convicted
about someone's actions.

00:02:04.820 --> 00:02:06.077 align:middle line:90%
What do you think Daryn?

00:02:06.077 --> 00:02:07.910 align:middle line:84%
DARYN CARP: Well, I do think
that if they're going to--

00:02:07.910 --> 00:02:10.580 align:middle line:84%
I think that they should show
it, because I think that now

00:02:10.580 --> 00:02:12.320 align:middle line:84%
that it's been reported
before the season happens,

00:02:12.320 --> 00:02:13.400 align:middle line:90%
I think people are waiting.

00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:14.420 align:middle line:84%
CHELSEA WHITE: They
can't keep it from us.

00:02:14.420 --> 00:02:15.720 align:middle line:84%
DARYN CARP: They
can't keep it from us.

00:02:15.720 --> 00:02:18.770 align:middle line:84%
And I also think
regardless of my opinion

00:02:18.770 --> 00:02:21.403 align:middle line:84%
on them walking out or not,
what I would really like to see,

00:02:21.403 --> 00:02:22.670 align:middle line:84%
even though it is
"The Masked Singer,"

00:02:22.670 --> 00:02:24.350 align:middle line:84%
is them talking
about it, and seeing

00:02:24.350 --> 00:02:26.900 align:middle line:84%
how that conflict is either
resolved or not resolved.

00:02:26.900 --> 00:02:30.620 align:middle line:84%
Because I kind of want to
see these know famous people

00:02:30.620 --> 00:02:32.360 align:middle line:84%
on this show, that
has literally nothing

00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:33.680 align:middle line:90%
to do with politics at all.

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:35.780 align:middle line:84%
It is a show about masking
people up and guessing

00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:37.070 align:middle line:90%
whose voice that belongs to.

00:02:37.070 --> 00:02:40.160 align:middle line:84%
Like this is the most apolitical
show that I think they kind of

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:41.510 align:middle line:90%
have, it's pure entertainment.

00:02:41.510 --> 00:02:43.310 align:middle line:84%
So if it were me,
I'd kind of just

00:02:43.310 --> 00:02:45.950 align:middle line:84%
want to see what is
being said about that,

00:02:45.950 --> 00:02:48.080 align:middle line:84%
and to see if they can kind of
get back to the show or not.

00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:49.910 align:middle line:84%
That's where the
meat is it for me.

00:02:49.910 --> 00:02:53.370 align:middle line:84%
Whether or not the walking off
is right or not, it happened.

00:02:53.370 --> 00:02:55.610 align:middle line:84%
So for me, it's like don't
cry about spilled milk.

00:02:55.610 --> 00:02:57.210 align:middle line:84%
I just kind of want to
see what they do with it.

00:02:57.210 --> 00:02:57.530 align:middle line:90%
But--

00:02:57.530 --> 00:03:00.050 align:middle line:84%
CHELSEA WHITE: Absolutely, it's
going to be good TV regardless,

00:03:00.050 --> 00:03:02.540 align:middle line:84%
and I'm excited to hear Rudy
Giuliani's singing voice.

00:03:02.540 --> 00:03:04.690 align:middle line:90%
