Shows like "Masked Singer" and "DWTS" too often operate as a disgrace-laundering operation, helping give the impression that people like Sean Spicer and Rudy Giuliani are figures of innocuously adorable mediocrity worthy of having their status buffed from notoriety to fame.

But you do you, "Masked Singer."
