The Masked Singer season six is everything it’s QUACKED up to be! Big celebrities, wild costumes, and truly incredible talent. The Mallard took the stage with some country twang, leading the panelists and fans to guess he may be a country superstar.
But who is really under the mask? How do the clues prove his identity? Let’s dig into it!
Clues on The Masked Singer Season 6
The Mallard’s first set of clues start with a close-up of an old-school stagecoach. Mallard says he’s “living the high life” and mentions a best-selling book and a platinum album. That wasn’t always the case though, he claims as he sips tea. Growing up, he was “always hustling.” A cowboy boot is shown. Mallard mentions that one of his first businesses was selling worms.
Then, he found a “human jukebox on the school bus.” He explains that you put a quarter in his armpit, then he can sing. A spotlight pans over him, then one of the men in black is shown playing saxophone. He said “the girls really like the entertainer on the bus.” The shot pans out and shows a blimp in the air and a big metal globe, similar to the one at Universal Studios. A framed photo of Chris Pratt has “BFF” written on it, and finally we see a toy deer.

Popular Guesses for The Masked Singer Mallard
Robin predicted that Mallard could be Alan Jackson or Garth Brooks. Jenny guessed Jason Aldean, Toby Keith, Keith Urban, Lyle Lovett, and Kenny Chesney. Then, Nicole chimes in with Brad Paisley, Sam Hunt, and Dierks Bentley. Finally, Ken thought it might be Billy Ray Cyrus, but the audience did not agree with him.
Online, people agree with some of the country stars the judges listed. Other popular guesses include Tyler Hubbard from Florida Georgia Line, Bradley Cooper, Willie Robertson from Duck Dynasty.
Who is the Mallard on The Masked Singer?
Now once we get into who this is, it will make a lot of sense. Even the costume itself is a perfect fit! The Mallard is…
Duck Dynasty‘s Willie Robertson!
So yeah, the Mallard costume is pretty on point considering he’s best known for being on Duck Dynasty. But there are some clues too obvious to deny! Here’s what they all mean.
First of all, Willie Robertson has a best-selling book, The Duck Commander Family, and a platinum album, Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas. Both of those were mentioned in the clues. There’s also a very obvious story about selling worms as one of his first jobs, and Willie had a worm farm business selling worms to fisherman. His talk of the “human jukebox” is also an idea he’s mentioned in interviews before.
The cowboy boot is a nod to his Southern roots. The toy deer also point to his family’s hunting. His connection to Chris Pratt is also a huge clue. In an interview, Chris mentioned he “spent some time with [his] friend Willie” around taping Jurassic World. That comment was about Willie Robertson. And finally, Mallard’s costume could be a reference to the Duck Dynasty theme song, “Sharp Dressed Man.”
