Who was behind the Banana Split duo on TheMaskedSinger? 👀 Read our exit interview now.
Below,caught up with Foster and McPhee in the wake of their elimination to chat about everything from how the experience compared to the latter’s reality singing competition roots and their surprising connections to the judging panel to which Billboard Hot 100 smash they wish they could’ve performed on thestage — all with a healthy dose of the quick-witted banter that endeared them to viewers all season long.
McPhee: Oh my gosh, it brought back all those horrible butterflies to the stomach, I’ll tell you that. I was like…David has got this rare, I don’t know, he gets like zero stage fright. And obviously that sounds a lot easier for him.McPhee: Yes, but I’m saying you go — we’re on a tour right now for David’s tour. He’s doing 18 days, he’s all over Florida, we’re in South Carolina. But anyway, he gets up there and has a two-hour show and he’s up there MC’ing the whole thing, playing.
Foster: My sister Jaymes [Foster] and I, yeah, we helped her a lot back in the day. And Robin I’ve known since he was a baby; his father [the late actor and songwriter Alan Thicke, a fellow Canadian] and I were truly best friends. And I’m a huge Ken fan.. So we’ve known each other. So this was so different because we were personal friends with these people, and it made it really fun to get up there the first time and actually hear their reactions. Funnily, they knew exactly who we were.
