Rock Lobster loves to party, and the newest addition to The Masked Singer US season 9 seemed to be having a good time. Rock Lobster made his debut in the ABBA Night episode along with fellow newcomer Night Owl and Medusa, who continued on from Week 1 after defeating Gnome and Mustang.
The judges agreed that Rock Lobster is one of the craziest contestants they've ever had on the show, and that's saying something.
So who is Rock Lobster on The Masked Singer? Let’s look at the clues!
Who is Rock Lobster on The Masked Singer US?
Rock Lobster turned out to be America's Got Talent judge and comedian Howie Mandel, who was convinced that this is just the beginning for Rock Lobster. "I’m blazing a trail when it comes to singing and dancing," Mandel said after he was unmasked. "Mark my words, Rock Lobster is only the beginning. I would imagine there will be rumblings of Rock Lobster being next year’s Super Bowl halftime show."
Who is Rock Lobster on The Masked Singer US? Costume clues
Rock Lobster is wearing a green shirt and black pants, with black boots that have some red trim that match his claws. His clothing isn't flashy, extraordinary or all that special, really. What really makes Rock Lobster stand out is his incredibly intricate lobster mask with long tendrils and those giant claws. Oh, and the tail, of course.
With most masks, the details come from the clothing, but in Rock Lobster's case, the costume is so realistic that it literally looks like a real-life rock lobster wearing clothes...standing on two legs, of course.

Voiceover clue: "Oh hello. Welcome to the Masked Singer’s hottest club, Lobster a Go-Go! Where we’re spinning ABBA all night long. It’s got everything, trust me! Just like me. I’ve been in movies and TV shows since you were a kid. And I can’t believe 10 million people watched me dance for 15 seconds on the daily! In school, I was a weird, neurotic mess. I got my fulfillment from creating elaborate pranks. It ultimately got me expelled from three different schools. So there I was, a compulsive crustacean without a diploma when one day, on a dare, everything changed. I shared my quirks with an audience. And now the things that got me in trouble with an audience are the things I get paid for. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a neurotic mess, especially recently. But I’ve made an entire career out of being uncomfortable. And that’s why I’m ready to embarrass myself in a whole new way."
