Michael Rapaport acted like was having an epic meltdown after he removed his Pickle mask following his elimination on Wednesday’s episode of The Masked Singer.
The 53-year-old comedian, who recently won rent for 13 people, was sent home after losing a Smackdown battle during the 2000s Night themed episode on Fox.
‘I’m not even going to start with you,’ Michael said to host Nick Cannon, 42. ‘I’m going to start with you Ken, you fake a** doctor. You, Robin Thicke, I sang about Beverly Hills you **** where you grew up. And Jenny, I’m calling Donnie tonight! I’m calling Donnie tonight. And Lance Bass, where is he, bye, bye, bye you ****!’
‘Bring it,’ said Lance, 44, who carried out a clue earlier in the show.
‘My rendition of Beverly Hills was fantastic,’ Michael insisted. ‘The crowd went crazy, okay?’

The crowd then chanted for Pickle.
Nicole Scherzinger, 45, told Michael that she was a huge fan.
‘Shame on everybody here including you Nick Cannon,’ Michael said. ‘Don’t suck up to me now you had your chance. In all seriousness, I had a great time. I love this show. I love Nick. I love all these guys. The crowd was great. I hope they are feeding you. It was awesome. …It’s all a show.’
Nicole had guessed that Pickle was Charlie Sheen. Ken Jeong, 54, guessed he was Howard Stern. Jenny McCarthy, 50, thought he was Conan O’Brien. Robin Thicke, 46, said from the dance moves alone that he thought it was Joel McHale, but all the panelists were wrong.
‘Joel’s not talented enough to be on The Masked Singer,’ Ken quipped.
‘None of you got it right,’ Nick said.
As Pickle, wearing a giant green pickle with a top hat, he performed first. He shared some additional clues to his identity that included that he had gotten into multiple public fights and a baseball. He sang Beverly Hills by Weezer. The crowd chanted ‘Pickle’ when he ended.
Lance gave a Pickle clue where he held a tray of pickles with mini wigs.

S’More kissed Nicole’s hand when he finished singing.
‘I’m a sucker for a crooner,’ Nicole said. ‘If I didn’t have a fiance I’d have the biggest crush on you. S’mores, you made me melt and that is absolutely my favorite performance of yours ever on that stage.’
Lance shared a clue that was a map of the country.
‘2000s were a busy time for me,’ S’More said. ‘I was busy touring with my bros.’
Nicole thought he might be Jordan Knight or James Marsden. Ken guessed it was Rob Thomas and the audience booed.
‘I know my MTV and I know my boy bands,’ Jenny said. ‘A name came to mind, and I saw the hairspray. And he was in Hairspray on Broadway. I think this could be Ashley Parker Angel from O-Town!’
Cow, wearing glasses and a flouncy polka dot apron, went next. Cow’s clues included that she was determined to get a record deal, a judge gavel, a birthday cake and that his pictures are in the Capitol Records building. Cow sang Justin Timberlake’s song Cry Me A River.

Robin thought it might be Neo. Nicole thought maybe it was her friend Taye Diggs.
S’More and Pickle received the lowest scores and had to battle it out in the smackdown. They both sang Sugar, We’re Goin Down by Fall Out Boy, but in the end Pickle received the lowest score and was voted off.
The Masked Singer will return next Wednesday on Fox.
