The flamboyant masks and costumes have personalities of their own and invite as much commentary as the performances themselves do.
A celebrity panel of detectives must guess who is behind the mask.
The studio audience is a rich component of the show, voting together with the celebrity detectives for their favourite performance.
At the end of the show, the least popular performers are eliminated, but not before the mask is removed to reveal their identity.

Survivor 38: Edge of Extinction
Channel: S3
TX Time: 18h00
Genre: Reality Competition
NOTE: this show was advertised as starting in October 2023 and January 2024, but it was removed from the schedule without warning on both occasions.
This edition, themed "Edge of Extinction," features 18 castaways divided into two equal tribes, the Manu Tribe and the Kama Tribe.
Four returning players will join the 14 castaways who will be competing for the first time.
The returning castaways are Joe Anglim (Worlds Apart, Second Chance), Aubry Bracco (Kaoh Rong, Game Changers), Kelley Wentworth (Second Chance, San Juan del Sur) and David Wright (Millennials vs. Gen-X).
This season presents a new layer to the game with the introduction of the island known as "Edge of Extinction," which severely tests the will of the castaways to be the Sole Survivor and what they are willing to endure to make that happen.
Those who can withstand the emotionally and physically difficult challenge will be afforded a shot for one of them to get back in the game and continue their quest for $1-million.
These new and returning castaways will be forced to compete against each other with the same ultimate goal: to outwit, outplay and outlast each other, and in the end only one will remain to claim the title of Sole Survivor.
The show was filmed in the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji, and is hosted by Jeff Probst.
