Video Licks: “The Masked Singer” Gets The YES, CHEF! Treatment with This THE LIMA BEAN Sketch

Yes Chef

I remember when I first saw ads for a show called “The Masked Singer,” I thought it couldn’t possibly be real. Guess what? IT WAS and is currently in it’s THIRD season! Life IS stranger than fiction, folks. The FOX reality singing competition television series, hosted by Nick Cannon, features celebs in over the top, concealing costumes and face masks which disguise their true identities from fellow contestants, the panel, and the audience. Of course, if any show was made to have a little fun with, it’s THIS one. In this legume rich sketch, we find a “giant anthropomorphized lima bean” getting it’s moment in the Masked Singer spotlight. Enjoy YES, CHEF!’s “The Lima Bean” performed at UCB New York Maude Night this January!

This sketch was written by Alexa Kresojevich, and pitched by Eliza Kingsbury (Lima Bean). It was directed by Hunter Nelson and features Sydney Battle (Nick Cannon), Michelle Bennett (Nicole Scherzinger), Tom Buffalo Powers (Ken Jeong), Jeremy Moulton (Robin Thicke), Eliza Kingsbury, and David Carl (New Host). Videographer: Jack Frederick.
