It was a familiar sight for Wednesday night of broadcast television with Fox’s secret celebrity singing competition The Masked Singer grabbing the most viewers in the 18-49 demographic (2.2 rating).

And while the show did see its highest total viewership since it’s Season 3 premiere (post-Super Bowl on February 2 when 24 million people watched), it still didn’t win its time slot in total viewers.
