The Masked Singer Season 8 saw the debut of Hummingbird, and he has everyone stumped. The male vocalist, whose costume is a bird wearing a snazzy suit, is likely a football player, but his exact identity is stumping many. Scroll through for all the clues, performances and judge guesses for Hummingbird on The Masked Singer Season 8 (if you haven't already been watching via FuboTV or another live service).

Performances and Song Picks

  • Episode 1: "I Don't Wanna Be" by Gavin DeGraw

Show Clues

  • Episode 1 monologue: "I'm excited for the kick-off of Season 8 because I promise you, this hummingbird knows a thing or two about competition. It's in my DNA. I got my start with the help of Shaq (Shaquille O'Neal), and formed a patriotic team that felt like family. Together, we dominated the Super Bowl. My career has been a revelation. But I'm only human. I'm so nervous to step on that stage tonight. But here we go! I guess it's all or nothing."
  • Episode 1 Visual Clues: "Lives in harmony," a black wireless speaker, man in a cowboy hat, a blue cleat with no laces, a scoreboard with a score of 71-00, a man wearing two Ring Pops does an orchestral conducting motion
  • Episode 1 On-stage Clue: He cherishes his "special awards that are out of this world. They're not exactly golden. They're silver, but that doesn't mean second place."

The Guesses

  • Robin Thicke's guess: Deon Sanders (two rings, played for Cowboys)
  • Jenny McCarthy's guess: Rob Thomas, Uncle Kracker or Nickelback's Chad Kroeger (we have no clue why she guessed them)
  • Ken Jeong's guess: Peyton Manning (family plays football, two Super Bowl rings) or Tom Brady (playing into real-life rumors)
  • Nicole Scherzinger's guess: no guess made
  • Our guess: We're pretty stumped on this one. Deion Sanders kinda makes sense, but it doesn't quite add up to us. We also found some connections — mainly the Shaq clue — to Odell Beckham Jr., but that also doesn't quite line up.
