Moose joined The Masked Singer family on 80s Night, and the burly, flannel-clad powerhouse had fans guessing as to who is under the mask. 

It’s a big mask, by the way. We’re no expert but the wingspan on those antlers looks to be at least six feet, so it’s no small feat (see what we did there?) to keep that mask on. 

Moose made their debut along with fellow newcomers Doll and Scorpio

So who is Moose? Let’s take a look at the clues to see if we can figure out who Moose is on The Masked Singer

Every decade has its fair share of TV dads, and after watching the clue clip posted ahead of the episode's premiere it looks like fans have good reason to suspect that Moose could be a famous TV dad. The couch seen in the clip looks an awful lot like the one from Roseanne, but that might be a red herring to throw fans off the pursuit of a different TV dad. 

Celebrity Clue, delivered by Charlene Tilton: Acceptance speech. "I haven't had much use for those," Moose said. "I have a few in the trunk of my car and the bottom of a suit coat."

Voiceover Clue: "Born in the Midwest just a normal guy. And moved to the city where I met my wife. She coached me on love and then we moved out west. I got my hooves in the door doing what I do best. I’m just a Moose on the Loose. Joined some friends you might know and ended up a king of your favorite show. But while you think you know me, there’s just one more thing. This guy is game to get on that stage and sing. I’m just a Moose on the Loose!"

It’s hard to figure out who Moose is without hearing their voice, but the massive costume suggests that whoever is underneath is someone strong enough to manage those giant antlers and the adorably large face. 

And even though flannel was such a fabric of the 90s, there’s something about the red and black buffalo check print that just works for us.
