… Maksim Chmerkovskiy!
Chmerkovskiy, who is an internationally-renowned dancer, rose to fame as the “bad boy” professional dance partner on Dancing With the Stars.
Paula Abdul and Brian Austin Green guessed Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Ken Jeong Guessed Channing Tatum, and Ashley Tisdale guessed Hugh Jackman. Both Abdul and Green were correct with their guesses!
Before Sloth took off the mask, the panelists each got to ask one final question. From their questions, we learned:
– he has hosted a big event.
– he has been seen with his shirt off.
– he has been on the cover of a major magazine.
– he is over the age of 35.
Of his time competing on The Masked Dancer, he said it was “absolutely the best experience. Sloth is my alter-ego now.” He added that the support he got while competing as the Sloth was “unlike anything that I’ve ever experienced.”
Sloth’s ‘The Masked Dancer’ Finale Recap
The Sloth’s shadow play clue, which aired during the two-hour finale’s season recap, was a dog.
Sloth’s final clue package of the season was full of hints pointing toward his identity. He revealed that while “dancing isn’t really new for me… this is the first time dancing with a partner where I get to be the student.” He said that, by performing masked, “I’m no longer the bad boy.”
In his package, he said, “let’s maximize the dancing.” A street sign for Jump Street and bowling stood out as significant clues. He also referenced “baby sloth,” suggesting he’s father to a young child.
After the Sloth took off his mask and revealed himself, Chmerkovskiy explained that the stethoscope in a previous clue package was because he had an arc on General Hospital. The “Glee” toothpaste was included because he was partnered with Glee! star Heather Morris on Dancing With the Stars.
The Pita bread was a shoutout to his wife Peta Murgatroyd, and the numerous references to his child were shoutouts to their son Shai Aleksander.
The season 1 finale of The Masked Dancer aired on Wednesday, February 17 at 8/7c on FOX.
