“We need someone to scare a few of the kids. Would you mind?” asks Kelly
The finale of Lego Masters Jr. featured a surprise posthumous cameo from the Prince of Darkness. In the episode, Kelly Osbourne welcomed her dad, Ozzy Osbourne, to deliver a spooky message to the young contestants.
“Hi, Kelly,” Ozzy said, appearing onscreen. “Hi, dad,” Kelly responded “We need someone to scare a few of the kids. Would you mind?”
“I’d love to,” Ozzy replied, before letting out a maniacal cackle, and as the lights flashed red, declaring: “One hour left, kids. You’ve got one hour left to finish those builds — or else!”
One of the contestants then asked who Ozzy was before a different young girl explained that her “dad loves him.” Then, Ozzy disappeared after wishing the kids good luck.
Ozzy’s appearance came during the final challenge of the finale episode, which saw the kids building out a Ninjago Lego set of a dragon with special effects. Will Arnett, the show’s host, typically lets the kids know about their one-hour timer, but on this occasion, Ozzy did the honors.
Osbourne died on July 22 at age 76 of a heart attack after suffering from Parkinson’s disease and other health issues throughout his life. This Lego Masters appearance marks the first posthumous appearance by the singer, whose documentary, Back to the Beginning: Ozzy’s Last Bow, is set to hit theaters early next year. There’s also another documentary and a second memoir in the works as well.
Over the weekend, Yungblud and Aerosmith paid tribute to Ozzy at the MTV VMAs by performing a medley of his and Black Sabbath’s songs.
