Yvette Nicole Brown was unmasked on Wednesday’s episode of The Masked Singer on Fox after performing as Showbird.
The 53-year-old actress competed alongside Ship, Buffaloes and Woodpecker on the season 12 show that featured Footloose in celebration of the iconic film’s 40th anniversary.
The show opened with a high-energy performance from panelist Robin Thicke of Kenny Loggins’ Footloose. Kevin Bacon also appeared via video to express his love and gratitude for the film and thanked the show for honoring it.
Showbird, in a colorful bird costume, sang Deniece Williams’ “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” after her clue package hinted at a career in Hollywood and finding love later in life.
Jenny McCarthy was impressed by his powerful voice.

“You have a voice that I feel is so incredibly powerful, you are so talented, that we should know who you are.” Because I think this is a recording artist. “She’s that good,” Jenny said.
Ken Jeong confidently guessed that Showbird was his Community co-star Yvette, and Robin agreed.
Rita Ora stuck with her guess about Sheila E and Jenny guessed it was Taraji P. Henson.
Ken was delighted to see Yvette and she explained that her presence on the show was because of him.
‘It’s funny. First of all, this is a love letter to Ken. They’ve been asking me to do the program for years. And, you know, singing is my first love, and it’s hard… you know, when it doesn’t work, and that’s why I always said no. “But for you, I said I would come and do this for you,” Yvette said.
‘Honestly, you’re family. We’ve been through everything together. …I love you so much,” Ken said.
Yvette showed her fun side by commenting on her costume.
‘Showbird is like… you know, it has its own personality. Look at all these feathers. And you know she has this caboose. “I’ve never been able to twerk until now,” she said.

Yvette, unmasked, performed a farewell performance of Let’s Hear It For The Boy.
Super Bowl champion quarterback John Elway, 64, was the first contestant to be eliminated from The Masked Singer last week during the season 12 premiere on Fox.
“I was definitely not in my comfort zone doing this,” John said. “But now I’m retired and I had the opportunity and I took it.”
The football legend, who won two Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos, performed as Leaf Sheep, a cute costume that looked like part sheep and part leaves.
