Dick Van Dyke says ‘The Masked Singer’ is “the weirdest thing” he's ever done.
as “the weirdest thing I've ever done.” Van Dyke admitted to never having seen the show before being asked to appear on it. “I was so positive that nobody would ever guess it was me, that they would have somebody 97 years old on there,” said Van Dyke. “I don't think they expected anybody from my generation to be on that show. So I knew I was gonna fool them. They were so surprised. I stepped out and everybody's mouths dropped open. I think some people thought I was dead.
“I would say it's the weirdest thing I've ever done,” said Van Dyke. The nonagenarian described his Gnome costume as “a great big like, Pumpkinhead thing that I had to do” and said that "it was really dark in there…I couldn’t see anything.” “It was a weird experience," continued Van Dyke. "I had two little peepholes I can see the audience with. It's a good thing I'm not claustrophobic.”that he chose to sing Billie Holiday's “When You're Smiling” after producers asked him “to do more current songs, about which I know nothing.” He was flattered that judges thought that he might be. “Wait a minute, those guys can't sing,” said Van Dyke, laughing.
Despite being mere years away from the ripe age of 100, Van Dyke seemed to have a wonderful experience oncalling the crew “so awesome” and saying that he'd like to return someday. “I've got to go back and hang out and see all the guys I worked with," he said. “I wouldn't recognize them.”
