What did you mean by that?
SCOTT PORTER:I just meant that I want to continue to perform overall.
And I found myself a couple of years ago I started doing smaller just theater shows in Los Angeles.

So I would love to see what opportunities come up next.
I’m not saying I’m immediately going to go try and record an album.
And I will take that.

I have said it before and I’ll say it again.
And as you just said, two Smackdowns, two Battle Royales.
I sang everything I could on the show.
“Throw me in the Smackdown again.
I’ll do another song.
I’m having too much fun to say no.”
So if that’s what got me there, I don’t care.
The panel got so close to guessing you a few times, with guesses of yourFriday Night Lightscostars.
Have you heard from any costars that maybe did guess you?
No, not really.
I was coaching his son’s baseball team throughout the entire time I was on theMasked Singer.
And then Nick said, “And he coaches my son’s baseball team.
You’re not wrong he really does do it all.”
But besides that, I had zero expectation that the judges were ever going to know who I was.
I’m not the level of celebrity of a lot of different people that have performed onThe Masked Singer.
I have made a career out of “being the guy from that show.”
I’m a part of some of your favorite shows, but you might not know who I am.
I’m a part ofFriday Night Lights, but you’re going to rememberTaylor Kitsch, right?
All I can say is, how would you be doing if your wife got arrested at your wedding?
And I feel like they landed it in such a special way.
I know there’s always rumors of it, but nothing that I’ve heard.
The show that I think would be a more likely reboot would beHart of Dixie.
So who knows if any of those shows ever come back.
Maybe it’s possible for you to come back as a panelist or guest performer.
They do that sort of thing all the time on the show.
So I don’t see anybody when I’m backstage as Gumball, but I can hear everybody.
I knewCorey Feldmanfrom the very moment he opened his mouth.
I knewClay [Aiken] and Ruben [Studdard]the very moment they opened their mouths.
It took me a song to figure out whoJenifer [Lewis]was, but I figured her out.
I’ve been all over the place in my 20-plus years in this business.
I know a lot voices.
So yeah, I’d love to pop back in and do a little guest judging.
I think I’m well suited for it.
That is the first time someone has admitted that to me in one of these interviews.
If I’m going to be a part of the show, I’m going to play the game.
I was all over it.
