Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large SPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead if you have not watched the Season 9 season premiere of “The Masked Singer,” which aired Feb. 15 on Fox. “The Masked Singer” kicked off its Season 9 on Wednesday night with one of its biggest stars yet — and also its oldest. Entertainer icon Dick Van Dyke, 97, was the celebrity under the Gnome costume, and was the first reveal of the night. Later, country music artist Sara Evans was unmasked as the Mustang. Van Dyke’s reveal reps the second season in a row where the first reveal came from a legend.

Van Dyke said he actually reached out to Idle when he first considered coming on “The Masked Singer.” “He said he sweat like a pig and almost suffocated,” Van Dyke said. “So that’s why they gave me this big thing.” He’s referring to his costume – which actually was more of a shell that he climbed into and was wheeled around in. “It was like a giant rolling pumpkin head,” he said. “I could just peek out through a little peephole. I just had to step into it. Instead of having to wear something that would be too much.” Van Dyke said he had never seen “The Masked Singer” when he was offered the gig. He decided to watch it, “and it looked like fun to me which it was. I did it because I knew that nobody would have ever guess they’d have a 97-year-old guy on there.” And indeed, no one got the Gnome right. Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg thought it was Tony Bennett. Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke both picked Dustin
