“Fear Night” clues: When High Voltage began his career, his biggest fear was the idea of having to “blend in,” as he feels you have to get “a little crazy” to draw a lot of attention. He was always more interested in being a leader in his field, so he listened to his gut, and “billions” took notice. (“Suddenly, everyone was plugged in!”) According to the contestant, he’s been called “a patriot” and “a revolutionary,” as he’s “changing the fabric of American culture.” One final clue? “The Rose Bowl.”
“Red, White & Clue Night” clues: High Voltage’s dad emigrated to the United States with a passion for science, and his mom is a poet. Growing up, he lived the full American experience: “Slurpees in the summer, Van Halen on repeat, MTV on full blast — and then, boom, we’re in the backyard spit roasting a goat for a family cookout.” He never guessed he’d go on to become a “national icon.” His final clue was a guitar, which he said he’s had by his side since he was 13, because success “comes from finding your rhythm and sticking to it.”
“Ozzfest Night” clues: Like Ozzy, High Voltage knows what it’s like to break out of a group and go solo. He had his own band of brothers who went through the “practices, victories, and defeats.” He now runs businesses, bands, and podcasts — anything to stay current. Visual clues included a sign that said “95,” a yellow duffle bag, a jar of jam, and a bandwagon. “Because of me, other people jumped on the bandwagon,” he said.
TVLine’s guess: Sports aren’t our area of expertise, but after following up on the suggestion that High Voltage could be former professional soccer player Alexi Lalas, we’re sold. His father came to the U.S. from Greece, and he’s always had a passion for science. After playing soccer, he pivoted to commentating, hence his wide reach. And the biggest clue of all? If you look at the costume, High Voltage’s brain is basically a soccer ball.
