The contestants among the season have a combined, "26 Grammy nominations, nine multi-platinum singles, four Oscar nominations, three Super Bowl appearances, six gold medals and two world records among them".{{cite web|url=https://www.etonline.com/the-masked-singer-to-introduce-new-twist-for-season-5-161032|title=The Masked Singer to Introduce New Twist for Season 5|work=Entertainment Tonight|author=Philiana Ng|date=February 23, 2021|access-date=February 23, 2021}} In addition, the opening scene for the season premiere revealed that cast has, "a combined net worth over $600 million, eight marriages, 25 gold and platinum records, 459 tattoos, over 55 million records sold, over 198 million followers, three Grammy wins, three Emmy nominations, one Oscar win, nine divorces, and 146 toes."{{cite web|url=https://ew.com/tv/the-masked-singer-season-5-first-look-wildcard-contestants/|title=The Masked Singer season 5 opener teases first look at the new wildcard contestants|work=Entertainment Weekly|author=Lauren Huff|date=March 10, 2021|access-date=March 10, 2021}}
This season featured a non-contestant masked character called "Cluedle-Doo".{{cite web|url=https://www.thewrap.com/masked-singer-cluedledoo-clue-meister-celebrity-guest-season-5-clues/|title=Masked Singer Adds Cluedle-Doo, a Costumed Celeb Who Will Interrupt the Show With Clues|author=Jennifer Maas|work=TheWrap|date=March 2, 2021|access-date=March 2, 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://ew.com/tv/recaps/masked-singer-season-5-episode-12/|title=The Masked Singer recap: Cluedle-Doo and Yeti unmasked, leaving panel stunned|work=Entertainment Weekly|author=Rachel Yang|date=May 19, 2021|access-date=May 19, 2021}} Over the course of 10 episodes, Cluedle-Doo periodically disrupted the broadcast to provide additional clues to the audience from his secret studio, teasing the host and panelists, while challenging the audience to discover who he was. In the semi-final episode, he appeared in person to perform "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison for the panel, then challenged them to guess his identity. After the panelists made their guesses who he was, none of which was correct, he unmasked himself as singer Donnie Wahlberg, panelist Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg's husband, shocking McCarthy Wahlberg, who did not recognize his voice.
Kermit the Frog ("Snail") is the first fictional character to have competed on the American version of The Masked Singer and "Russian Dolls" (Hanson) are the second costume to feature more than one person (the first being Clint and Lisa Black's "Snow Owls" costume from the previous season) and the first costume to feature a group of different celebrities.
