It’s only fitting that the TV theme night on “The Masked Singer” includes an iconic cast reunion on stage. And, it happened right under our noses.
During Wednesday’s episode, The Mummies were first eliminated, and later appeared as none other than the “Brady Bunch” brothers Barry Williams, Christopher Knight, and Mike Lookinland. It’s the first time they’ve performed together in more than 40 years, but for the trio it felt like yesterday.
“A lot of it is about getting to know each other and we have spades. We may not have done well in 40 years, but we keep in touch and are essentially very close friends. So we have each other very well,” Knight told TheWrap. “And it appears that it’s also the most important component in performing together, especially when one of us isn’t really that much of a performer.”
Once he rehearsed, the challenges he faced “melted into really really positive vibes,” Williams said.
Although their time on “The Masked Singer” was short, The Mummies made the most of their on-stage performances, enthralling audiences with their stunning rendition of “The Monkee’s Theme Song”.
Yes, he sang: “Hey, hey! We’re mummies!” And it may be cheesy, but the three stars behind the masks told TheWrap that it was too fun to pass up.
“That sentence really came to me in the middle of the night, and I couldn’t shake it,” Williams said. “I thought it was really funny. So I sent a note to the producers and they sent it around the table and I think everyone liked it. So I’m really glad it worked out.”
Curiously, getting that punishment right must have been the toughest challenge for them all.
“I was a big fan of the Monkees when I was eight and nine years old,” Lookinland said. “So there was a rearrangement in my mind to say, ‘Hey, we’re mummies.’ I couldn’t do that for the first 50 rehearsals.
“The Masked Singer” airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
