Fans of The Masked Singer are extremely familiar with judge Ken Jeong's, shall we say, optimistic guesses as to what celebrities could be hiding under each of the over-the-top costumes. And after more than two seasons of nearly all incorrect guesses, Jeong admitted during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show that he thinks he's "the dumbest judge on The Masked Singer.”

While discussing the Clarkson family's love for the show and ability to guess each of the celebrities correctly, Jeong said "you’re looking at a guy that’s never gotten a guess right in three years.” (It seems, however, that the judge forgot about the one time that he did in fact correctly identify Thingamajig in season 2 as NBA player Victor Oladipo.)

Some of Jeong's infamously bizarre guesses include the Flower costume being worn by singer Björk and Celine Dion being underneath the Miss Monster costume.

The internet has definitely taken notice of Jeong's outlandish guesses and naturally took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

Jeong's bad guesses have continued into the third season, which he says "really has evolved."

“The talent pool is deeper and there’s just more surprising reveals," Jeong said of the third season. “I’m invested into it as a fan even if I wasn’t on the show. It’s like America’s guessing game.”

Season 3 of The Masked Singer airs Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. EST on Fox.
