The Dust Bunny was eliminated in the recently-aired episode 4 of The Masked Singer season 12, and we finally know which celebrity is behind the mask.

In the Week 4 episode of this season, the Group B contestants performed Sports Night-themed songs to a roaring crowd who were entertained with the performances of the five contestants.

Who is the Dust Bunny in The Masked Singer Season 12?

The Dust Bunny gave an energizing performance of "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond in the Week 4 episode of The Masked Singer.

With TV legend Dick Van Dyke being the ambassador for the contestant, it was clear to the panelists that the celebrity behind the mask is likely to be a comedian.

Ken Jeong guessed that it might be Will Ferrell, Rita Ora named Jay Leno as her guess, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg believed that it could be John C. Reilly, and Robin Thicke said that it might be Chevy Chase.

However, when the Dust Bunny was unmasked after he was eliminated from the race, none of the panelists were right.

As it turns out, it was veteran comedian and Conan O'Brien's late-night show sidekick Andy Richter.

"Singing has always been a secret ambition of mine. When I was a rookie who first got into the biz, I had a super important job: Making coffee. Until I was asked to stand in for a person to test the lighting, and wouldn’t you know it, apparently I had a face for TV," Richter said as Dust Bunny in his video package.

"Since then, I’ve collected quite a list of co-stars. Anne Hathaway, David Bowie, even Marlon Brando. Though no one’s ever seen that footage!"

Richter is the fifth contestant this season who was eliminated in the race. Last week, singer Paula Cole was revealed to be the Ship.
