Wayne Bradyis letting audiences decide if he’s the Thingamajig onThe Masked Singer.
Sitting down with PEOPLE Now on Thursday, the host, actor and singer was presented with three clues that have some viewers convinced he’s under the green costume.
The evidence presented to Brady? “I will tower over the rest of the singers with my puzzling persona,” “I’m here because I love to sing, though you may think that’s not my thing,” and the Thinamajig’s yellow pants, which could reference the time he ripped his pants onLet’s Make a Deal.
But he doesn’t think those clues are convincing enough.
“Sure. You know what? To you and to anybody watching, ‘I tower above the rest,’ I’m 6 ft. That’s tall. But do I tower above everyone else? I don’t know,” he tells PEOPLE Now.
Having his name being thrown onto the list of possible celebrity competitors is not new to Brady, 47. During season 1 of the Fox singing competition series, viewers were convinced that he was underneath thewinning Monster costume, which turned out to be T-Pain.
“Last season, I was supposedly the Monster. Who was the Monster? T-Pain. Everybody [was saying], ‘I swear that is Wayne Brady!’ Great, go out and swear,” says Brady. “It was T-Pain.”
So now that his moniker is being connected to the Thingamajig during the show’s second season, Brady isn’t phased.
“Then I’m the Thingamajig. Cool. Then I’m the Fox. Great,” says Brady.

Says Brady, “Think whatever the hell you want because instead of answering questions, which last season I was too on my Instagram. Every time somebody would say, ‘You’re the monster,’ ” he would reply, ” ‘No I’m not.’ ”
Instead, he’s letting audiences be the judge as season 2 airs and the theories continue.
“So now I say, ‘Cool, if you think I’m that, you know the best way to solve that? Go to iTunes, download my Grammy-nominated record, so go listen. Then you decide if that’s my voice or go online and see any of the concerts that I’ve done across the world and then see if that’s my voice,’ ” Brady advises.
On Wednesday, after a two-week hiatus thanks to theWorld Series,The Masked Singerreturned with a two-hour episode, during whichtwo celebrities were unmasked.
Anthony Andersonjoined the judges to assess the next five singers: Black Widow, Thingamajig, Butterfly, Leopard (who proposed to Cannon!) and Flamingo. Flamingo might have gone on last, but McCarthy deemed her rendition of “Never Enough” fromThe Greatest Showmanthe “best performance so far.”
“I’ve been in the music industry and the industry for a really long time and I said, ‘Oh my goodness, it would be awesome if I don’t have to see anybody, they can’t see me, I can be the person I am in the mirror,’ ” Symoné, 33, said after being unmasked.
The Masked Singerairs Wednesdays (8 p.m. ET) on Fox.
