Network tv in the third decade of the twenty first century, and political positioning.

During a taping of The Masked Singer’s season 7 last week, one of the contestants was reportedly unmasked and revealed as past New York City mayor and personal attorney for former President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, according to Deadline. In response, judge Ken Jeong reportedly stormed off the stage with fellow judge Robin Thicke following to check on him, according to PEOPLE.

“Ken was super upset and indeed stormed out,” a “source close to the set” told PEOPLE. “Robin actually followed him because he and Ken are very close friends and he wanted to check on him. Robin didn’t storm out because of Giuliani.”. […]

Jeong’s background as a doctor reportedly fueled his anger at Giuliani, who previously served as the personal attorney for Trump and therefore part of the administration that mishandled the COVID-19 pandemic from the start. In June 2021, Giuliani was banned from practicing law in New York after making false statements about Trump’s 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden.

Fine and dandy and all that. But then I stare at this.

According to the initial Deadline story, the show’s other two judges — Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger — stayed behind and briefly chatted with Giuliani after the unmasking.

All this time he’s been sitting next to, and not getting upset by, Jenny McCarthy? Did he just figure Giuliani had more power than spokes-nuttery work of McCarthy?
