49 and a half minutes of fame: Why celebrities go to "The Singer in the Mask" | Israel today

2021-11-10T07:44:28.160Z


Not every celebrity will agree to participate in an embarrassing horror show of suffocating karaoke in a polyester costume in prime time, but for those who do choose to do so there is a clear purpose


When a singer in a mask is exposed, he takes off his costume, shouting "Who is this ?!"

Emerging from the screen, always his first photo shows an embarrassed and smiling face.

Afterwards, moderator Ido Rosenblum adds a detailed explanation, for those who did not recognize, and a sense of disappointment spreads in the face of the exaggerated expectation created by the five judges with unfounded early guesses.

It's not easy being in these celebs' shoes at the moment.

Sweating in a ridiculous costume in front of a 20 percent rating, humming playback, and having to explain why the hell they agreed to go through this weird experience.

Because even though the judges sail to guesses such as Naftali Bennett, Gal Gadot or Superman, the starting point is that not every celebrity will agree to participate in a karaoke competition.

In the end, it turns out slowly, this season's contestants are actually Sagittarius talents (Sandra Sadeh), or those who have nothing to lose (Ron Shachar), those who yearn for re-exposure (Shahar Peer, Nehemiah Stresler), need her to revive a career ( Moshik Afia) or are looking for a stamp to be mainstream (Kevin Robin).

What interest might a famous person with a stable career have in going through this humiliation in prime time?

Apart from the aspects of money and the satisfaction of the competitive instinct, it is also worth examining the additional reward that each participant receives from Keshet Broadcasting immediately after being removed from reality.

Since everyone is following the same route, we will concentrate on the last one - Moshik Afia.

Tuesday night he was exposed as your spy.

As "The Singer in the Mask" ended, Guy Pines opened his program with a five-minute interview with Afia live, and later returned for another two and a half minutes.

Then, after realizing what led Afia to fake in English in a pastry costume, why it had to do with Corona and what was new in his personal life, Nadav Bornstein entered the studio and started "Live at Night".

At Bornstein's, Afia received a pampering interview for six minutes, Shlomi Saranga came up to greet and questions we heard were asked again.

After the commercials, another five minutes were added to the interview, Yaron Ilan joined in a conference call, and a huge Rogelach delivery landed with the singer in the yard.

Yesterday, Afia was also a guest on the morning show, answered Niv Raskin with the same answers and completed the quota of glory minutes at his disposal.

Add a Pines rerun at 4:30, a "live at night" rerun at 5:00, then a third Pines rerun at 11:30, as well as discussions about the episode that took place on the other studio shows, and the next Poloops to come, and you'll understand The disproportionate amount of air time that each washer receives from the moment the mask is removed.

In the case of Moshik Afia, this amounted to 94 and a half minutes on the Channel 12 screen in half a day.
