The Masked Singer is an American reality singing competition TV series hosted by Nick Cannon. The show features celebrities wearing a mask and a costume covering their entire body to hide their identities. A group of panelists guesses to identify who the superstar is by decoding clues provided to them throughout the competition. In the season 8 premiere, the legendary William Shatner graced the stage, and after performing his rendition, he was voted off. However, he left an impression on the viewers and also broke a world record on the show. The Clue that led to Shatner's Unmasking Youtube Video screenshot The knight's audio hint started funny when Shatner claimed that he was surprised it took around three years for him to get a chance to feature in the competition, "I can't believe it's taken me eight seasons to be on The Masked Singer. I was holding out for the hosting gig, but Nick keeps having babies, so I guess he's not going anywhere."

Shatner revealed that he was a Shakespearean actor and has been involved in multiple walks of fame. He further detailed his work relationship with George Lucas and how they both did a lot of movies and TV series.

He also said that he had never ridden a golden goose to sing songs onstage, but there was a first time for everything. For his visual clue, the audience could notice a Shakespeare bust, a police badge, a solar system, a tape tagged as 'covers,' and also a fake hand.

Shatner sang Fred Astaire’s “Puttin’ on the Ritz.” After Shatner's performance, Nick Cannon asked him a question for his onstage clue if he cherished the big or small awards he won. The contestant replied, "I love all the awards. Every single one. The big ones, the small ones. I have a little tiny one from my native country embedded in my chest." However, the four panelists made contrasting guesses starting with Kan Jeong, who claimed it could be David Hasselhoff, followed by Nicole Scherzinger, who believed it could be John Lithgow, while Judge Robin speculated that it was Weird Al Yankovic.
