Curious about who’s behind the Mad Scientist Monster mask in The Masked Singer Season 13? The towering character’s dramatic debut and cryptic clues immediately stirred fan speculation, with names like Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan thrown into the mix. But one theory stands out—country singer Brett Young.
Here’s a breakdown of the clues, the judges’ guesses, and why all signs point to Brett Young as the celebrity under the mask.
Here’s who The Masked Singer’s Mad Scientist Monster could be
Mad Scientist Monster debuted on The Masked Singer Season 13 during the March 26 episode as part of Group C. He performed “Unwell” by Matchbox Twenty, prompting panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora to guess names like Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, and Blake Shelton.
However, according to Gold Derby’s official prediction, the Mad Scientist Monster is country singer Brett Young. The clue package mentioned reinvention, being sidelined, and finding purpose through chaos. These themes parallel Young’s career shift after an injury ended his baseball prospects.
Mad Scientist Monster’s audio clues included: “My skills made the scouts go wild,” and “It seemed like everybody wanted to recruit me to their team,” aligning with Brett Young’s history as a college baseball pitcher recruited by teams like the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Minnesota Twins. An elbow injury ended his sports career, leading him to pursue music professionally.
Visual clues shown on-screen included a baseball speed sensor and a fish tank. The speed sensor resembles the one in Brett Young’s music video for “Catch,” which references his time on the mound. A framed picture of two bees was also visible on the costume, resembling an I.D. badge.
Following his performance, Mad Scientist Monster said, “It gives me an opportunity to reintroduce myself to fans in a way that they’ve never seen before.” This fits with Brett Young using the show to showcase a musical side outside his usual country genre.
In a post-performance clue, the character Lucky Duck stated, “If you’ve been listening, you’ll hear the right pitch,” reinforcing a baseball reference. Mad Scientist Monster is one of 15 contestants competing in Season 13, with previous reveals including Cedric the Entertainer and James Van Der Beek.
