Because Flavor Flav is always entertaining everybody weekly.
I swear to God.
[Laughs] Wow.
[Points to our Taylor Swift1989cardigan] I see you got on the sweater.
I see you got the sweater on Swifties in the building!
I understand you have one just like it.
Hey, you’re talking to the King King Swiftie in the building!
Yes, I found out.
And they finally cleared one because of Flavor Flav.
Taylor Swift and them cleared one for me.
You know what I’m saying?
It’s the first and only.
I’m telling you, I don’t think they’re going to clear any more.
I would give myself away.
But I was given away too easy this trip, man.
It was very obvious immediately, to me anyways, that Flavor Flav was Space Ranger.
Come on now, everybody knows.
See, let me tell you something.
When you hear Morgan Freeman’s voice, you know that’s Morgan Freeman.
When you hear Samuel L. Jackson’s voice, you know that’s Samuel L. Jackson.
Or when you hear James Earl Jones' voice, you know that’s James Earl Jones talking.
So you could take my voice, put it together with them easy ass clues.
A caveman could have figured that out.
You know what I’m saying?
The PE that was up in the corner of the screen.
[Pulls up said hardware] I mean, come on now.
Who else wears hardware around their neck?
Clocks everybody knows Flavor Flav and clocks.
Were you disappointed to go home so soon?
I’m not going to lie.
I had a lot of fun being onThe Masked Singerand jumping in and out of that costume.
It was challenging, but it was really fun.
And I said, I know I can make it work.
And I was stoked to be able to get out on that stage and hype up the world.
And when Nick Cannon said, “Come on, y’all know who this is.
I know exactly who this is.
This is one of my most favorite people on the planet.”
When he said that, you don’t know how honored I was, man.
You know what I’m saying?
You know what I’m saying?
That was big to me.
And I really, really had fun with the song selections that they gave me as well.
But I really did have fun doing “Bad Blood.”
And also, I really had fun doing the Ghostbusters song, “Cleanin' Up the Town.”
And “Cleanin' Up the Town” was my most challenging song.
And I did it.
Your boy Flavor Flav pulled that bad boy off.
I pulled it off, and I think I really did a good job.
I am my biggest fan.
I do amuse myself, you know what I’m saying?
