The television show, The Masked Singer has been a hit since 2019. The concept of the show is to have a panelist guess who is singing behind a mask, with often it being a complete surprise.
Denver Broncos legend John Elway decided to help kick off season 12 of the show with a bang, appearing as Leaf Sheep while singing “I Like It, I Love It” by Tim McGraw. While Elway was a masked singer, it took the panel a while to catch on.
“Everyone but Ora guessed a former NFL star: Robin Thicke picked Troy Aikman, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg guessed Tom Brady, and Jeong chose John Elway,” Lauren Huff wrote on Entertainment Weekly. “Ora had the distinct honor of having the worst guess of the night — she chose Billy Bob Thornton — but given that she’s British and therefore doesn’t have American football, perhaps she gets a pass.”

Elway is not the first former Broncos to appear on the show. Super Bowl 50 champion DeMarcus Ware has also performed on The Masked Singer.
