Fox's The Masked Singer returned for an all-new episode on Wednesday, October 5, 2022. Although the episode was entertaining overall, it featured an emotional moment when the show honored former Season 4 contestant Bob Saget.
The theme for this week's episode of the series was TV Night. It also introduced viewers to two new contestants, the Mummies and the Fortune Teller. They were up against the two-time reigning queen the Harp. The contestants performed heartfelt renditions of some of the iconic TV show theme songs.
There was no dry eye left in the room after The Masked Singer tugged everyone's heartstrings with an emotional performance of Full House's theme song Everywhere You Look. The performance was rendered by the Fortune Teller and the Harp during the Battle Royale.
While the Fortune Teller's performance was similar to the original theme song, the Harp performed an emotional ballad of the same. During her performance, even panelist Ken Jeong got emotional, and the audience also teared up.
While watching the Harp perform her rendition of the Full House theme song, fans were reminded of former Season 4 contestant, the Squiggly Monster, Bob Saget. The famed actor passed away earlier in January 2022, aged 65. Fans took to social media to share that they missed the actor, and one fan took to Twitter to say that "Bob is sorely missed."
Read on to learn more about what fans had to say about the Harp's emotional performance on The Masked Singer.

Here's what happened this week on The Masked Singer Season 8, Episode 3
The episode featured guest appearances by 90210 star Tori Spelling and Full House star Jodie Sweetin. They both delivered onstage clues for the Mummies, Fortune Teller and Harp.
During the Harp and Fortune Teller's performance of Everywhere You Look, the camera panned towards Sweetin. Jodie played the role of Saget's daughter Stephanie Tanner in both Full House and its Netflix sequel Fuller House.
As mentioned earlier, the Harp's emotional ballad of the theme song also brought Ken Jeong to tears. After the performance, Jeong turned to the audience and said:
"I tell you, watching you sing that, Harp, and seeing Jodie (sitting in the audience), somewhere up above, our friend, Squiggly Monster, Bob Saget, is smiling."
Jodie also nodded and made a heart with her hands as she agreed with what Ken said.
Bob Saget, who appeared on the reality TV series in Season 4, had said that he decided to take part in the show for his son.
The Masked Singer featured one more emotional moment as it kicked off with Robin Thicke paying tribute to his father Alan Thicke. Robin, who is one of the judges of the show, performed a rendition of the song As Long As We Got Each Other. The song was the theme song of the sitcom Growing Pains that starred Alan until it ended.
After his performance, the singer, whose mom was present in the audience, said that his late father is the reason he has good hair, while his mother is the reason he sings.
