Retired NFL quarterback surprises everyone with reveal on 'The Masked Singer'
On 'The Masked Singer' Wednesday, quite possibly the most bizarre costume this season – the Baby Alien – suffered a space launch failure, when he received the lowest amount of votes. So, who was the baby alien? For the first time in a while, the mystery celebrity's identity actually came as a surprise to both the panelists and viewers at home. After being guessed to be a few different comedians and actors, the Baby Alien was revealed as retired NFL quarterback and sports commentator Mark Sanchez. When asked what the best part of being Baby Alien was, Sanchez mentioned his own baby, as he stated, "Sharing this experience with my little man. He knows the words to 'Faith' now. He knows the words to 'It's Time' by Imagine Dragons. So we've been rocking out in the car. It's been fun. It's been really fun." So while it wasn't quite a touchdown for Sanchez, formerly known as Baby Alien, at least he gave the audience one last stellar performance.
