![]() He will always hold the distinction of being the show's first wildcard. His stint as Orca will likely be one of his most memorable ones. McGrath, who is not new to reality TV, has appeared as both a contestant and host on various shows. Lastly, there was candy shown in both packages for the band Sugar Ray. Before the reveal, the judges guessed that the mystery singer was either surfer Kelly Slater, rocker Dave Grohl, or Green Day singer Billy Joe Armstrong. As a joke, they began signing each other's names when asked for autographs. Update: The Orca was unmasked on April 14, 2021, and revealed to be Sugar Ray lead singer Mark McGrath. Fans often mistake the celebrities for each other. This was because McGrath has an inside joke with actor Ethan Hawke. The prices were $9, $4, and $9 and 949 is an Orange County area code.Ī great clue that threw many was the hawk. Last listed was a pumpkin pizza for McGrath's appearance in a Smashing Pumpkins music video. The menu also had a lemon pizza for the first album by Sugar Ray titled Lemonade and Brownies. There was a pizza menu with orange pizza for his childhood in Orange County, California. The 1313 Melville clue was for his initials, M.M., as M is the 13th letter in the alphabet. Director McG, who was the best friend of the rocker-turned-host, helped his band Sugar Ray to make a music video that they taped in a pizza box and delivered to a top record exec. As we pointed out previously, Orca's first story about how he was so desperate to get a break that he taped videotapes inside of pizza boxes to deliver around Hollywood was also a very personal tale that belongs to Mark McGrath. The $3 and the three r's in " purrrr" clue were for his record as a three-time champion of Rock and Roll Jeopardy. The costume itself was a possible nod to his appearance in Sharknado 2. The fly swatter was for his hit song "Fly," which was also referenced in the previous clue package with a plane. The killer whale mentioned later that he had twins who were 10, which obviously fits with McGrath's own twins' ages. This heartbreaking story is about McGrath's father, who passed shortly after the baptism of his grandchildren in late 2010. Orca said he hung on just long enough for the ceremony. As his father's health deteriorated, he became laser-focused on his grandchild's baptism. Tonight's clue packaged focused heavily on a story about how Orca told his father he was going to be a dad.

Robin Thicke and Ken Jeong were in rare agreement with their prediction that Orca was Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, a guess Robin had from the beginning, but Ken changed to from his original guess of Jon Bon Jovi. ![]() Nicole Scherzinger also guessed Grohl, but chose to stick with that guess. ![]() Jenny McCarthy's first impression guess was Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl, but she changed that guess to surfer Kelly Slater. While we might not have been surprised by who was under the mask, the panelists definitely were.
