Masked Singer season 8 premiere reveal

Harp, Hedgehog, Hummingbird and Knight kicked off the highly anticipated season with some epic performances.

But it wasn't enough for them to stay in the competition as both were unmasked and sent home. 

In a shocking reveal, Knight turned out to be Star Trek star William Shatner while Hedgehog was revealed to be Monty Python legend Eric Idle.

This left Harp or Hummingbird to be named the king or queen of the premiere. Unfortunately, Cannon pronounced Harp the night's queen leaving Hummingbird to be unmasked next week. 

The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
