The former child star under the mask tells EW he can’t believe how many people guessed his identity.
He didn’t quite Seal the deal, butThe Masked Singer’s cuddliest wildcard sure put on a show.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: That costume looked pretty cumbersome.

COREY FELDMAN:The suit was very uncomfortable.
Yes, very sweaty.
That’s not really the problem: not having room to move around.

Jenny guessed you really quickly.
Were you surprised by that or did you see it coming?
I was also surprised how quickly everybody guessed me the second go around.

I would not be very good at this if I were a detective of some sort.
Inspector Clouseau I am not.
You had some very fun banter with Jenny about a certain time youd hung out together before.
What exactly went down that night?
We were both at a big party at the Playboy Mansion.
She hung out, I think, for like an hour.
Rita guessed that you wereJerry OConnell, yourStand by Mecostar.
Do you remember anything like that?
Oh my God, he was so mean.
He was beating the kids up all the time, basically just using them as his own whooping cushion.
No, I’m just joking!
There was nothing like that on this set.
Don’t remember anything negative from the set ofStand by Meat all.
Since then, Kiefer and I haven’t been the closest of friends, but that’s okay.
What can you tell us about it?
I’m so excited!
I feel like a Pointer Sister right now.
But seriously, it is about the coolest thing I could ever have to look forward to.
I’m so beyond grateful to Jordan Peele and to his partner Ian Cooper…. And I thought,My God, that’s crazy.
We immediately became fast friends, and he said, “What are you doing these days?
What are you up to?”
I said, “Well, this and that.”
And he said, “Well, how do I see it?”
It was only released in Germany and in Spain.
And so he said, “Well, I want to see it.”
So he and Ian both came over to my house.
And I said, “From your lips to God’s ears.
But unfortunately, I have no way of doing that.”
And I was like, “Are you kidding?
I’d be honored.”
So we were able to scrap together the last remaining print, and get it sent over.
It got a tremendous response.
And here we are: Alamo Drafthouse Theaters is releasing the film this fall in theaters….
I think there’s something like 40 theaters to start off, but we’ll see what happens.
I’m hoping that it gets a tremendous response as I expect it will.
It is a brilliant film, and I’m very, very proud of it.

Anything else coming up for you?
The other exciting news is that I am going to be touring this summer with Limp Bizkit.
This is going to be my first arena tour with my band.
So it’s been a slow, slow, slow burn, a slow build.
That’s about all I can say for now.
