Blake Shelton is not part of the Benedict Cumberb**ches fanclub.

During a whisper challenge on Thursday's The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, the country crooner was to mouth "Benedict Cumberbatch" to Fallon and see if he could guess what he was saying. The late-night host was successful in guessing the name but Shelton was stumped as to "what" a Cumberbatch actually was.
