Hydra on 'The Masked Singer' — The Clues

We weren't given a ton of information about Hydra's true identity, but here are some of the clues we were shown for the green-and-purple three-headed Dragon:

  • A magic 8-ball that said "Ask your amigos"
  • A picture of a shark
  • Miami
  • A beach ball with a bull on it

Hydra on 'The Masked Singer' — The Guesses

Like previous characters that have appeared on the show, such as the Russian Dolls, judge Ken Jeong believed that Hydra was actually a collection of three people. Given that Hydra was a three-headed beast, his guess was that longtime pals Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short were behind the mask.

Ken believed this to be the case because:

  • He has been "dying" to have Martin Short on the show.
  • The magic 8-ball read "Ask your amigos." (Chevy, Steve, and Martin famously starred together in The Three Amigos.)
  • He knows Chevy's from working with him on Community, and knows that one of his iconic SNL characters was the Land Shark.

Here are some other potential guesses for who could be behind the Hydra mask:

  • Migos
  • Joe Hawley, Rob Cantor, and Andrew Horowitz
  • Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, and Greg Proops
  • The Jonas Brothers
  • Members of Green Day
  • Members of Boyz II Men

So, who is Hydra on 'The Masked Singer'? The answer is... Penn and Teller!

Not many saw it coming when Penn and Teller were revealed to be Hydra! The three-headed dragon certainly threw people off... until we saw that the third head was occupied by a stuffed rabbit in a hat!

While many viewers were surprised to see the legendary magicians and comedians, some Reddit users have thought it could be them for a while.

"As a big Penn and Teller fan — that sounds a LOT like Penn. I don’t think Teller would EVER do a show like this, but I could be wrong," one user wrote. "I could see Penn more likely to do it with a friend like Piff the Magic Dragon — but you wouldn’t have Penn with someone else other than Teller — so maybe it is just Penn and Teller. I don’t know Teller's voice well enough to know for sure, but I’d bet he is actually able to sing OK."

Did you guess that Hydra was Penn and Teller? Tune in to see more contestants revealed when The Masked Singer airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Fox.
