These are all super entertaining, they’re guessing these things and I’m in the costume, just laughing onstage when they’re throwing these names out.” “Other names like David Hasselhoff, Derek Jeter, Tim Tebow. “I was just flattered to have people like Tim McGraw, Vince Gill, Sam Hunt and Blake Shelton, names thrown out there,” Zito said. You’re killing it on TV.’ And I was like, ‘What are you talking about?'”Īs for the panel guesses, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg and Ken Jeong named Zito, Nicole Scherzinger thought it was Jason Aldean, guest panelist Jay Pharoah picked Blake Shelton and Robin Thicke thought it was Trace Adkins. His kids watch the show religiously so he texted me a couple weeks ago,” Zito said.
“Eric Byrnes, who I played with in Oakland, he’s still a good friend. Zito’s identity was kept a secret until panelist Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg made it one of her guesses a few weeks ago, and the athlete said he heard from plenty of former teammates who had also figured it out. When I made it through first show, that was a huge victory for me.” My goal really was to go out there and not get eliminated on the first show. When I became so result oriented and focused on things that I couldn’t control, like winning or outcomes, it really spoiled the experience for me. “These are lessons I’ve learned in my baseball career. “I just wanted to keep my head down and do my best every time and not get so caught up in winning,” he said. Zito said he was pleasantly surprised that he got as far as he did - to Season 3’s final four. Past songs included “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” by Righteous Brothers and “Tracks of My Tears” by Smokey Robinson. My first couple of days were like, ‘Oh my gosh, what did I get myself into here? This is incredibly difficult.'”įor his final performance, Zito performed “Humble and Kind” by Tim McGraw on Wednesday night’s episode. That, coupled with the fact that I’ve never sang and danced before, I’ve only ever sang with an acoustic guitar, sitting on a stool. Also the mask was really front heavy, because it was a huge Rhino. “I could only see the ground,” he said “There was two little quarter-size nostrils of the Rhino that I could see in but I couldn’t really navigate through there. But I know that I’ve always had my biggest transformations personally when I am uncomfortable.”Īdding to that stress, the Rhino costume was perhaps one of the most difficult to sing in. But “The Masked Singer” still presented a new challenge: “I thought wow, this is really scary and I don’t really feel like singing on a stage in a costume, that feels like something that’s so far out of my comfort zone. Zito released an EP in 2017, and has been regularly writing and co-writing songs.
