That was legendary!
I'm your host, Nick Cannon,
and it's time to make way
for our first ever grand finale
of the greatest whosungit
in TV history,
"The Masked Singer"!
Yeah!
We began with 12
celebrity singers,
each talented
in their own right,
but our long masked journey
together
has brought us to this moment
right here.
Tonight, our top three‐‐
the Peacock,
the Bee, and the Monster‐‐
will face‐off in competition,
and by the end of this show,
all the mysteries
we pondered week by week,
mask by mask,
will finally be answered.
We'll find out who will be
the king or queen
of the golden mask.
And now, let's hear it for
our high and mighty panel
of pop culture detectives.
Make some noise
for Robin Thicke,
Jenny McCarthy,
Nicole Scherzinger,
Ken Jeong,
and back once more, my buddy,
my brother from another mother,
Kenan Thompson!
Kenan!
First up, let's peck
around for some final clues
from our man the Peacock.
The first time
I strutted onto
the "The Masked Singer" stage,
I felt 100% at home
as the Peacock.
♪ Tell me do you want to go ♪
‐Yes!
‐Whoo!
Performing in this
mask has made me fearless.
People cannot judge me based
on what they've read,
what they've seen, or what
they've heard about me.
♪ This is the greatest show ♪
I am free.
In my career,
I have done it all.
I can sing, dance, act, host.
Broadway star.
And I have lived
nearly every dream I've had.
Ricky Schroder?
The key to
my success is this,
I don't relax.
When I go home at night,
I walk in the door
walking like a peacock.
I'm always thinking about
how to improve.
I watch videos of
my performances,
I go through the vocals in
my mind over and over again.
Studies the game tape like any
good peacock.
I am a perfectionist,
and I love,
and I hate it.
He's a hard worker,
and it's paying off.
He's in the finale.
On this stage,
I became the Peacock.
Now the only question
I have is,
"Can I also become
the champion?"
Winning would mean
everything to me,
and I am more determined
than ever
to finish my comeback
with another feather
in my cap.
Peacock's done a little bit
of everything.
He's a LeBron James
of peacocks.

‐Come on!
‐Look out!
You got it!
Shaking his feathers
all over the place.
I can't think of
a better way to kick off
the final three than
your performance tonight.
What I love about you
is I really feel you care,
and that makes
all the difference.
That's what separates you
from everybody else.
I am truly humbled
just to be standing here
for the final three.
I had no idea
that I would be here.
Nick, I gotta tell
you something.
He's not gonna give back
the mic.
I have been in show business
a long time,
but this probably the most fun
thing I've ever done.
Wow.
That says a lot.
Who do you think could possibly
be under here?
So he's hosted
award shows,
we've seen a rainbow flag
clothing.
Okay, he's performed in Vegas.
He's been part of
a magic act before.
He's a child prodigy.
Yes, he's performed
for kings and queens.
We kept guessing
Neil Patrick Harris.
And I'm telling, if he's not,
I'm gonna jump down that stage
and just impale myself
on your beak.
Because at this point,
I'm losing my mind
if you're not him.
Ken, what about you?
Honestly, I have nothing
in my brain.
‐I have more.
‐That's a first.
Besides
Neil Patrick Harris,
I have Donny Osmond,
who seems like‐‐you know...
We've got a lot
of Vegas.
And then
Harry Connick Jr.
Harry Connick.
I could be way off,
but once he said
he was inspired by
"Blurred Lines,"
I know that this person put out
an album a few years ago
that went number one,
parodying "Blurred Lines."
And that's "Weird Al" Yankovic.
Boom!
Wow.
That's interesting.
Magician. Magician.
Vegas residency.
Either I'm way off
or I'm real close.
"Weird Al," come on!
If that's "Weird Al,"
he has the voice
of baby Jesus and Fergie.
He's a trained dancer. He
plays accordion, piano, Vegas.
- ‐"Weird Al's" tall though!
- It's a great guess,
but I don't think
it's "Weird Al."
That's why this show is crazy!
It makes you crazy.
I'm gonna say something
that I'll also say
to the Bee and the Monster.
You are my favorite
and you're gonna win it all.
Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time
for the amazing Peacock!
I want this so badly.
Winning would mean
everything to me.
Coming up
Go, Monster.
The battle for
the golden mask continues.
Man, this is tough.
And later our remaining
singers are finally unmasked.
It is my honor to present you,
our champion...
Who are you?
♪ Who is that ♪
Welcome back to the finale of
"The Masked Singer."
The competition is red hot
with our top three,
all of whom will be revealed
tonight.
Up next, I love this lady,
but let's get to know
her even better.
The Bee!
This show has been such
a challenge.
I was a little nervous
in the beginning.
I was like, "My God.
Can I really do this?"
And so I just said my prayer
and went on out there.
♪ I'm gonna swing ♪
It was a whole new set‐up
to sing all those
modern songs
and they not know who you are.
♪ From the chandelier ♪
She's sounds amazing!
My God.
Makes me want to cry.
We bow down to the queen.
I've been entertaining
people for almost,
almost 70 years,
but I've never done anything
quite like this.
Everything was totally
different.
This is must be so
out of her league.
But I came on this show
determined to connect
with a new generation.
After all these years,
she still stretches herself.
I've learned that you can
do whatever you set out to do
if you give it the dedication
you need to make it work.
She's got a bit of
a renaissance, really.
Well, I've come this far,
and I want win
that golden mask
to prove that music
is universal.
It really isn't about age.
That mask is mine!
They don't make 'em
like that no more.
Just so full of grace.

Panel?
Your experience as a vocalist,
you're experience as
a performer is exactly why
you are in the season finale
of "The Masked Singer" tonight.
Thank you so much.
You do everything
in your own timing,
so it's almost like
we've heard the song
but we've not ever heard it
until you've done it,
like, in your own way.
It was beautiful.
What I love about music
and the reason that I make
music and sing music
is because you dig so deep
into your own soul,
but when you sing there's
always a hope and a light
at the end of that tunnel,
and I feel that every time
you sing.
Well said. Well said, Robin.
Absolutely.
Kenan Thompson,
who‐‐
last episode was just blurting
out who he thinks the Bee is.
Yeah, I'm just confident
like that
when I think I know.
Tell her again about
tonight's performance,
my brother.
I mean,
I would just like to say
that it was
unbee‐Gladys Knight‐able.
It really was.
I think it's pretty
obvious.
‐Yes.
‐No way.
Ken, you got something?
Yeah, I mean, I'm really‐‐
I got some strong convictions.
I'm putting all these clues
together.
I think it's Anita Baker.
All right.
‐‐
‐What?
Stop laughing.
Respect me!
Everyone thinks I'm a joke.
Not true. Right?
That's not true.
Miss Bee,
what would you like to say
to say to our amazing audience,
and panel,
and everyone at home?
I've always been
a people person.
I love each and every one
of you.
As far as the judges
are concerned,
the respect that I have
in my heart
just takes it to
a whole other level.
‐I love you, guys.
‐We love you.
And to the Bee!
So humble!
One more time for the Bee!
‐Standing O.

We're back on the grand finale
of "The Masked Singer,"
and tonight all of our
whosungit mysteries
are finally being revealed,
and that means all those
family fights out there about
who's behind the mask
will be finally be over.
Now let's look for some final
clues about the Monster.
♪ I don't wanna be
anything other than ♪
I never knew who I was
until I put on the mask.
You're absolutely
one of my favorites.
It's given
me freedom.
My God!
Monster!
I get to be
who I want to be
when I'm in the suit.
I think we have just
witnessed greatness.
This whole set is
the most amazing few weeks
that I've had in, like,
the last 12 years.
It's a clue. He's been
in the business 12 years.
Nobody would listen
to me without this mask on,
but now I can showcase
my true talent
without being judged for
who people think I am.
‐Aw, I love it.
‐Did anybody say Tyrese?
He's been emotional lately.
I've gone from hiding
in a cave
to being in the finals.
Some of his cadences
when he speak
does remind me of CeeLo.
And now that
I've made it this far,
I want to take it
all the way and win.
I guess I've always been
the Monster,
and that's just fine by me.
I hope I've shown there can be
beauty in anything,
even if it's a little bit
different.
Thank you for giving me
another shot.
Whoever he is, I think we're
gonna freak out.

Monster!
Wow!
This is how we do it!
I am totally blown away,
Monster.
Let me tell you.
From day one we've immediately
fallen in love
with your talent,
your sense of humor.
Last week, you made us cry.
Today, you made us stand up
and cheer.
You brought it home, Monster.
It takes a lot to get out there
and be able to sing
in, like, a furry trash can.
It's not easy to sing
rap like Montell Jordan,
'cause it takes
a lot out of you.
And then doing
the Russian squat jumps
that you were doing.
You know, you bring
a lot of heart to the show.
Aw, that's awesome.
That's awesome.
It feels so good
to be able to do what I love
and be able to do it freely.
I've always wanted to perform
without the fear
of being judged.
You know, besides the judges.
But you guys treated
me with the utmost respect
and that's really hard to come
by in the industry that I'm in.
And since I first hit the stage
I've been in dire need
of a second chance,
and I think you guys gave
it to me
with "The Masked Singer."
Aw.
‐Powerful story.
‐I love him so much.
He's making me cry.
‐She's crying for real.
‐I am.
Panelists, what have you
all learned
about the very
entertaining Monster?
Monster's been
the most difficult for us.
From golfer, to DJ,
to sports caster.
‐We've been really lost.
‐Yeah.
From a lot of
the other costumes
you can get a sense of
the physicality.
The voice is so soulful
and seasoned,
I think it might be Jamie Foxx.
I thought Jamie
as well.
He's the only one who has
the happy feet,
who's got the sense of humor,
but I don't think
that's Jamie's voice.
That's the only guy who could
change his voice
if he wanted to
and keep us entertained
in a monster outfit.
I feel like
he's gruffier though.
Tyrese Gibson, maybe.
‐Ooh, that's a good one.
‐Not bad.
Only 'cause of
the emotion.
But what he just said he
hadn't got any respect before,
it makes me think that maybe
he had a setback,
and I'm just thinking, like,
acting career.
Like, maybe Terrance Howard
or something like that.
- ‐What?
- You know, I don't know.
Is this Lucious Lyon?
Is Lucious in here?
I think you're
an athlete.
I still say that microphone
looks like a golf club.
Maybe it's Tiger Woods.
He needs a second chance, so...
Second, third, fourth.
We've been through everybody.
Whoever it is,
one thing we do know
they gave us an amazing
performance.
That's right.
Keep it going for
the Monster!
I don't know
who it is!
It's gonna drive me crazy.
I'm feeling
pretty confident.
I'm gonna be the last mask
standing.
I know for a fact that I want
it more than anybody else,
and that's all the attitude
you need.
Coming up...
All three finalist will
take it off.
‐What?
‐What?
I can't take it anymore.
And the winner of the
golden mask
will finally be revealed.
Who's behind the mask
of our champion?
‐No way!
‐Wow!
- ‐Are you kidding me?
- I was right!
Yeah.
We're back on
"The Masked Singer" finale.
The time has come for our panel
and the studio audience
to vote for their favorite.
One of these singers will win
this competition
and have the right to take home
our golden mask,
and put it next to all
their other awards.
Wow. Whoo!
Peacock, Monster, and Bee,
you all should be very, very
proud of how far you've come.
Very.
Now we're gonna reveal
you one by one.
Starting with the singer
in third place.
The votes are in.
Coming in third is...
My God.
Look at one‐eyed Monster.
♪ ♪
My God.
♪ ♪
The Bee!
Aw.
My God.
Ladies and gentlemen,
keep it going for the Bee.
My God.
I thought it'd be the Peacock.
You guys, get out of here.
Await your fate.
One of you will be crowned
champion later on.
Bee, step on down here
to center stage with me.
Whoo!
I bow down to you.
But before the Bee
unmasks once and for all,
panel, what are your
final guesses
about who's behind the mask?
With a voice like that
it's pretty hard
not to hear who it is.
Yeah,
it's a voice from God.
When I heard you sing,
I knew within
a half of a second
who you were.
Seriously, and then,
like you said,
you started your professional
career in the '50s.
‐And the Georgia peaches.
‐Yeah, that's right.
Well, it sounds like
our panel is in agreement.
Y'all wanna say it at once?
‐Yes.
‐Sure.
One, two, three.
- Gladys.
- Anita Baker.
Stop that, Ken.
Seriously,
I think it's Anita Baker.
- ‐I really do.
- All right.
I really do.
Stick with your guns.
Are you guys ready?
The panel have made
their final guesses.
So, Bee, show us all
who's behind the mask!
Take it off!
Somebody needs to help her,
it's Gladys Knight.
Who are you?
Show us your face!
♪ Come on and tell me
who are you ♪
♪ You you
who are you ♪
The legendary
Gladys Knight!
Yes!
I told you!
I told you!
Yes, baby.
My goodness.
Hey, y'all!
Yes! Yes!
Okay, Kenan, congrats.
‐I told you!
Look how beautiful
she is.
You guys were right.
Gladys! Gladys!
Gladys!
Except for Dr. Ken.
Yep. Nope. Nope.
Wow.
Wow, it is such an honor,
such a pleasure.
You may not remember this,
you are the first entertainer
celebrity superstar
that I have ever met.
‐I was a kid in North Carolina.
‐I remember you.
And you took the time out
to tell me how special I was
and that I could make it,
and to be standing next
to you right here
is insane.
I love you so much.
But we all have to know‐‐
I got some sugar too!
I got some sugar.
You lucky dog.
‐He jealous.
Robin, don't get jealous
of my sugar.
I want a Gladys Knight smooch.
Why would you do
a show like this?
Because we should always strive
to do different kinds of things
because they elevate us
eventually.
That's right.
Preach!
Now, what did you learn
being inside that Bee costume?
It was kind of difficult for
me because, first of all,
you can't see nothing.
The eyes are so important.
You know, just,
just seeing you guys here.
Look at me.
Let me look at you.
Let me look at you,
and you, and you.
You know?
That's what gives me courage.
Absolutely.
The cool thing about you‐‐
there were so many clues.
You had everything
from cooking,
you had everything from,
you know, the peaches.
Patti can't cook.
Patti can't cook.
Not like Ms. Gladys.
Not like me. I taught
her everything she knows.
She taught Patti
everything she knows.
You heard it here.
We love you so much,
and, like, all of us,
we are just in awe of you
right now.
Now take off
the Gladys Knight mask
and show us the Anita Baker
that we want this to be.
Cousin Kenan.
Well, as the resident
black judge...
You know good and well
how heavy you are in
the culture, you know?
Thank you.
Because that voice has
graced my life,
my parent's life,
and, like,
every single family member
I've ever had.
And I think it's
an unbelievable feeling
to be able to have
witnessed this.
I can't thank you guys enough
for having me on the show.
‐It's been incredible.
‐Me too.
You're welcome.
Thank you so much.

But first, who is the Peacock?
Aw.
I bet you were so close.
I bet it was.
Peacock, we love you too!
- ‐Whoo!
- All right, gang.
I need your final answers.
Who on earth do you think
the Peacock really is?
There were so many
things from the‐‐
performing
for kings and queens,
he's also a magician,
tap dance, ballet,
and he mentioned
that he was inspired
by the "Blurred Line" song,
which he parodied and released
an album four years ago.
So I'm gonna stick with
my otherworldly guess
of "Weird Al" Yankovic.
It's actually
a really great guess,
and it's been driving me crazy
all of these weeks
trying to figure out
who you are
because you're so talented
and you're a perfectionist.
And I know that there's a lot
of artists that are,
but, child prodigy,
knows how to play the piano,
award shows, so I'm gonna go
with Donny Osmond.
Or Neil Patrick Harris,
but I can only pick one.
All right, all right.
Man, this is tough.
This is really tough.
Like Jenny,
to be brutally honest,
it's a toss‐up between
Neil Patrick Harris
and Donny Osmond.
It's hard to get out of your
head once you have it in there.
It's really hard, yeah.
Okay, I'll pick
Neil Patrick Harris,
because I just think
he's good at everything.
He plays cards.
You know, he's magic.
I'm going with these
two over here on the right.
It's either Neil or Donny.
I'll just go with
Neil Patrick Harris.
- Okay.
- Good guess.
Lot of Neil Patrick Harrises
up there.
Kenan Thompson.
I think I'm gonna go
with "Weird Al" Yankovic.
Okay, panel, you've made
your final guesses,
and after eight weeks it's time

NICK: My God!
Donny Osmond!
Jenny!
Of course it's you.
One of the greatest
entertainers of our generation.
Stage, film, music,
television,
over 80 million records sold.
‐
‐Word. Word.
I'm so glad I didn't let
that go.
What in the world would make
you do a crazy show like this?
Because it's fun!
‐Yes!
‐Yeah!
Exactly!
I had the time of my life here,
man.
It's the best thing in my life.
It's better than being
Donny Osmond!
‐
‐Right? Come on.
That's saying a lot.
I've known you for a long time.
We go way back, Jenny.
Way back, and I know that
you're such a professional.
And you were amazing,
and it made me cry literally.
I want you to know
I've been Vegas every night
that I've been doing this too.
‐What? What?
‐What?
He's been leaving here,
jumping on a plane,
and going to Vegas.
‐That's amazing.
‐No.
Again.
Are there any big clues
that we may have missed
that could have gave it away?
The wig.
Did you get the wig?
What was the wig?
That's the wig I wore in
"Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat."
Joseph gets thrown
into jail.
I knew it was something
like that.
Right now,
let's hear it one last time
for our amazing runner‐up.
Give it up for Donny Osmond!

Coming up, the moment
we've been waiting for.
It's time to find out who is
the Monster.
♪ Who is that ♪
♪ Who is that ♪
Welcome back
to what's been an amazing
"Masked Singer" grand finale.
After eight weeks of
electrifying performances,
we all found out together that
the Monster is the king of
"The Masked Singer."
We're so proud!
You know what?
I'ma be honest.
I am so excited about
this reveal.
From the moment that
I heard the voice,
I knew who it was in my mind.
Who is it?
Why don't you write it down?
Write it down
and then show
us afterwards.
Somebody get me a pen.
I'll definitely write it down.
All right,
I've written it down,
but before we found out who's
behind the mask of a champion,
my crew, my panel,
my detectives,
it's all come down to this.
Who do you think is behind
the mask of our winner.
I can't take it anymore.
It's been weeks and he's been
the hardest one to figure out
and we love him so much,
but we're having such
a hard time.
Yeah, he's very frustrating.
I haven't been able to figure
out the Monster
since he started.
Sense of humor, the dance
moves, the voice is so soulful.
One person that could do
all this
and throw his voice because
he's a master mimic also
is Jamie Foxx.
So I'm gonna go
with Jamie Foxx.
- Interesting. Good guess.
- That's really good.
What stuck with me was
that you went through some
ups and downs in your life
and wanted to come back with
a new image.
Maybe people perceived
you as a monster
but you're not really a monster
And the only person that came
into my head was Michael Vick.
Michael Vick.
‐What?
‐Michael Vick?
Yes!
‐Is he a singer?
‐
KEN: Does Michael sing?
For real, I mean,
that's my for real question.
I don't know.
This show has thrown me
so many times.
This would be quite the story
of redemption
if this is Michael Vick.
Sound like a really failed
pilot.
Man, I've been going back
and forth on a few.
This is by far the hardest one,
and I'm just gonna call
an audible now.
I think it could be
Darius Rucker.
I'm gonna say Darius Ruker,
"Hootie."
Has a different thing.
Was known for, like...
- That was a good guess.
- Rock, and then country,
and now back to rock.
And he's been singing
all different of types
of songs this entire season.
That's true.
There's that Nicole
Scherzinger face again.
Okay, so part of me
thinks it is CeeLo
because of when he speaks
I kind of hear the Southern
in it.
And he's got an amazing voice,
but then his voice doesn't
sound like CeeLo fully.
So I guess I'm gonna go with a
very unconvincing CeeLo Green.
Unconvincing CeeLo.
Unconvincing CeeLo.
Question mark.
Mr. Kenan Thompson.
You know, happy feet
makes me think of, like,
possibly maybe
Martin Lawrence, maybe.
‐
‐Ooh, that's a good one.
Yeah, but I've also been
leaning towards
- ‐Tyrese Gibson.
- That's a great guess.
- ‐You know he has a great voice.
- I think I might go with
Tyrese.
‐That's a good guess.
‐That's a great guess.
All right, the panel have
made their final guesses.
This is crazy, you guys.
It is crazy.
I'm dying to know.
This is crazy
that none of us know.
This is the moment!
We need to know.
‐Monster.
‐My God. Finally!
Show us all who's behind
the mask of our champion!

My man.
Yo,
you should be so proud
of yourself.
This man's musical journey
is amazing.
Grammy award winning,
singer/songwriter,
performer, producer.
Some people only thinking that
you have the skills
to sing through Auto‐Tune.
I think you proved the world
wrong on this show
right here on this stage.
Word.
That you are
an amazing vocalist.
It is my honor to present you
with the trophy.
You earned this.
You are truly the king of
"The Masked Singer."
Tell me, why would you do this
crazy show?
I didn't have a chance to come
into the game
with my natural voice,
and, you know,
a lot of peers they did
and they get accepted.
This helped me get my voice out
there even more.
And I appreciate you guys.
Yes!
Man!
Sorry I thought you were
Michael Vick.
That's okay.

It's okay.
I love my dogs.
I love my dogs.
The soul that you put

I am just amazed,

‐Incredible.

Someone who is not known
for this
getting to display
his natural gift right now.
‐It is just blowing my mind.
‐And winning!
Man.
It's a beautiful thing
to see you here as
our champion,
and I don't think anybody
really knew for real
it was you, dog.
Like, that's the beauty
of this show.
I keep saying it.
We don't really, really
know until you take
the mask off and turn around
and we're like, "Holy cheese."
It's T‐Pizzle."
You know what I'm saying?
- Nick.
- Yes, yes, Dr. Ken.
Can you show us your paper
because you said you knew.
We need proof.
- Come on, man.
- Let me see.
I just need
photographic evidence.
Come on.
T‐Pain.
‐Wow.
Just knew when he stared.
Messing with me,
and doing the thing with
the microphone.
I was like, "Okay, yeah,
that's Pain. That's Pain."
Thank you all for being a part
of "The Masked Singer."
This has been amazing for me.
We hope to see you all
again soon.
But first, let's hear it one
last time.

I'm your host, Nick Cannon,
and it's time to make way
for our first ever grand finale
of the greatest whosungit
in TV history,
"The Masked Singer"!
Yeah!
We began with 12
celebrity singers,
each talented
in their own right,
but our long masked journey
together
has brought us to this moment
right here.
Tonight, our top three‐‐
the Peacock,
the Bee, and the Monster‐‐
will face‐off in competition,
and by the end of this show,
all the mysteries
we pondered week by week,
mask by mask,
will finally be answered.
We'll find out who will be
the king or queen
of the golden mask.
And now, let's hear it for
our high and mighty panel
of pop culture detectives.
Make some noise
for Robin Thicke,
Jenny McCarthy,
Nicole Scherzinger,
Ken Jeong,
and back once more, my buddy,
my brother from another mother,
Kenan Thompson!
Kenan!
First up, let's peck
around for some final clues
from our man the Peacock.
The first time
I strutted onto
the "The Masked Singer" stage,
I felt 100% at home
as the Peacock.
♪ Tell me do you want to go ♪
‐Yes!
‐Whoo!
Performing in this
mask has made me fearless.
People cannot judge me based
on what they've read,
what they've seen, or what
they've heard about me.
♪ This is the greatest show ♪
I am free.
In my career,
I have done it all.
I can sing, dance, act, host.
Broadway star.
And I have lived
nearly every dream I've had.
Ricky Schroder?
The key to
my success is this,
I don't relax.
When I go home at night,
I walk in the door
walking like a peacock.
I'm always thinking about
how to improve.
I watch videos of
my performances,
I go through the vocals in
my mind over and over again.
Studies the game tape like any
good peacock.
I am a perfectionist,
and I love,
and I hate it.
He's a hard worker,
and it's paying off.
He's in the finale.
On this stage,
I became the Peacock.
Now the only question
I have is,
"Can I also become
the champion?"
Winning would mean
everything to me,
and I am more determined
than ever
to finish my comeback
with another feather
in my cap.
Peacock's done a little bit
of everything.
He's a LeBron James
of peacocks.

Shaking his feathers
all over the place.
I can't think of
a better way to kick off
the final three than
your performance tonight.
What I love about you
is I really feel you care,
and that makes
all the difference.
That's what separates you
from everybody else.
I am truly humbled
just to be standing here
for the final three.
I had no idea
that I would be here.
Nick, I gotta tell
you something.
He's not gonna give back
the mic.
I have been in show business
a long time,
but this probably the most fun
thing I've ever done.
Wow.
That says a lot.
Who do you think could possibly
be under here?
So he's hosted
award shows,
we've seen a rainbow flag
clothing.
Okay, he's performed in Vegas.
He's been part of
a magic act before.
He's a child prodigy.
Yes, he's performed
for kings and queens.
We kept guessing
Neil Patrick Harris.
And I'm telling, if he's not,
I'm gonna jump down that stage
and just impale myself
on your beak.
Because at this point,
I'm losing my mind
if you're not him.
Ken, what about you?
Honestly, I have nothing
in my brain.
‐I have more.
‐That's a first.
Besides
Neil Patrick Harris,
I have Donny Osmond,
who seems like‐‐you know...
We've got a lot
of Vegas.
And then
Harry Connick Jr.
Harry Connick.
I could be way off,
but once he said
he was inspired by
"Blurred Lines,"
I know that this person put out
an album a few years ago
that went number one,
parodying "Blurred Lines."
And that's "Weird Al" Yankovic.
Boom!
Wow.
That's interesting.
Magician. Magician.
Vegas residency.
Either I'm way off
or I'm real close.
"Weird Al," come on!
If that's "Weird Al,"
he has the voice
of baby Jesus and Fergie.
He's a trained dancer. He
plays accordion, piano, Vegas.
- ‐"Weird Al's" tall though!
- It's a great guess,
but I don't think
it's "Weird Al."
That's why this show is crazy!
It makes you crazy.
I'm gonna say something
that I'll also say
to the Bee and the Monster.
You are my favorite
and you're gonna win it all.
Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time
for the amazing Peacock!
I want this so badly.
Winning would mean
everything to me.
Coming up
Go, Monster.
The battle for
the golden mask continues.
Man, this is tough.
And later our remaining
singers are finally unmasked.
It is my honor to present you,
our champion...
Who are you?
♪ Who is that ♪
Welcome back to the finale of
"The Masked Singer."
The competition is red hot
with our top three,
all of whom will be revealed
tonight.
Up next, I love this lady,
but let's get to know
her even better.
The Bee!
This show has been such
a challenge.
I was a little nervous
in the beginning.
I was like, "My God.
Can I really do this?"
And so I just said my prayer
and went on out there.
♪ I'm gonna swing ♪
It was a whole new set‐up
to sing all those
modern songs
and they not know who you are.
♪ From the chandelier ♪
She's sounds amazing!
My God.
Makes me want to cry.
We bow down to the queen.
I've been entertaining
people for almost,
almost 70 years,
but I've never done anything
quite like this.
Everything was totally
different.
This is must be so
out of her league.
But I came on this show
determined to connect
with a new generation.
After all these years,
she still stretches herself.
I've learned that you can
do whatever you set out to do
if you give it the dedication
you need to make it work.
She's got a bit of
a renaissance, really.
Well, I've come this far,
and I want win
that golden mask
to prove that music
is universal.
It really isn't about age.
That mask is mine!
They don't make 'em
like that no more.

Panel?
Your experience as a vocalist,
you're experience as
a performer is exactly why
you are in the season finale
of "The Masked Singer" tonight.
Thank you so much.
You do everything
in your own timing,
so it's almost like
we've heard the song
but we've not ever heard it
until you've done it,
like, in your own way.
It was beautiful.
What I love about music
and the reason that I make
music and sing music
is because you dig so deep
into your own soul,
but when you sing there's
always a hope and a light
at the end of that tunnel,
and I feel that every time
you sing.
Well said. Well said, Robin.
Absolutely.
Kenan Thompson,
who‐‐
last episode was just blurting
out who he thinks the Bee is.
Yeah, I'm just confident
like that
when I think I know.
Tell her again about
tonight's performance,
my brother.
I mean,
I would just like to say
that it was
unbee‐Gladys Knight‐able.
It really was.
I think it's pretty
obvious.
‐Yes.
‐No way.
Ken, you got something?
Yeah, I mean, I'm really‐‐
I got some strong convictions.
I'm putting all these clues
together.
I think it's Anita Baker.
All right.
‐‐
‐What?
Stop laughing.
Respect me!
Everyone thinks I'm a joke.
Not true. Right?
That's not true.
Miss Bee,
what would you like to say
to say to our amazing audience,
and panel,
and everyone at home?
I've always been
a people person.
I love each and every one
of you.
As far as the judges
are concerned,
the respect that I have
in my heart
just takes it to
a whole other level.
‐I love you, guys.
‐We love you.
And to the Bee!
So humble!
One more time for the Bee!
‐Standing O.

We're back on the grand finale
of "The Masked Singer,"
and tonight all of our
whosungit mysteries
are finally being revealed,
and that means all those
family fights out there about
who's behind the mask
will be finally be over.
Now let's look for some final
clues about the Monster.
♪ I don't wanna be

I never knew who I was

You're absolutely
one of my favorites.
It's given

My God!
Monster!
I get to be
who I want to be
when I'm in the suit.
I think we have just
witnessed greatness.
This whole set is
the most amazing few weeks
that I've had in, like,
the last 12 years.
It's a clue. He's been
in the business 12 years.
Nobody would listen
to me without this mask on,
but now I can showcase
my true talent
without being judged for
who people think I am.
‐Aw, I love it.
‐Did anybody say Tyrese?
He's been emotional lately.
I've gone from hiding
in a cave
to being in the finals.
Some of his cadences
when he speak
does remind me of CeeLo.
And now that
I've made it this far,
I want to take it
all the way and win.
I guess I've always been
the Monster,
and that's just fine by me.
I hope I've shown there can be
beauty in anything,
even if it's a little bit
different.
Thank you for giving me
another shot.
Whoever he is, I think we're
gonna freak out.

Monster!
Wow!
This is how we do it!
I am totally blown away,
Monster.
Let me tell you.
From day one we've immediately
fallen in love
with your talent,
your sense of humor.
Last week, you made us cry.
Today, you made us stand up
and cheer.
You brought it home, Monster.
It takes a lot to get out there
and be able to sing
in, like, a furry trash can.
It's not easy to sing
rap like Montell Jordan,
'cause it takes
a lot out of you.
And then doing
the Russian squat jumps
that you were doing.
You know, you bring
a lot of heart to the show.
Aw, that's awesome.
That's awesome.
It feels so good
to be able to do what I love
and be able to do it freely.
I've always wanted to perform
without the fear
of being judged.
You know, besides the judges.
But you guys treated
me with the utmost respect
and that's really hard to come
by in the industry that I'm in.
And since I first hit the stage
I've been in dire need
of a second chance,
and I think you guys gave
it to me
with "The Masked Singer."
Aw.
‐Powerful story.
‐I love him so much.
He's making me cry.
‐She's crying for real.
‐I am.
Panelists, what have you
all learned
about the very
entertaining Monster?
Monster's been
the most difficult for us.
From golfer, to DJ,
to sports caster.
‐We've been really lost.
‐Yeah.
From a lot of
the other costumes
you can get a sense of
the physicality.
The voice is so soulful
and seasoned,
I think it might be Jamie Foxx.
I thought Jamie
as well.
He's the only one who has
the happy feet,
who's got the sense of humor,
but I don't think
that's Jamie's voice.
That's the only guy who could
change his voice
if he wanted to
and keep us entertained
in a monster outfit.
I feel like
he's gruffier though.
Tyrese Gibson, maybe.
‐Ooh, that's a good one.
‐Not bad.
Only 'cause of
the emotion.
But what he just said he
hadn't got any respect before,
it makes me think that maybe
he had a setback,
and I'm just thinking, like,
acting career.
Like, maybe Terrance Howard
or something like that.
- ‐What?
- You know, I don't know.
Is this Lucious Lyon?
Is Lucious in here?
I think you're
an athlete.
I still say that microphone
looks like a golf club.
Maybe it's Tiger Woods.
He needs a second chance, so...
Second, third, fourth.
We've been through everybody.
Whoever it is,
one thing we do know
they gave us an amazing
performance.
That's right.
Keep it going for
the Monster!
I don't know
who it is!
It's gonna drive me crazy.
I'm feeling
pretty confident.
I'm gonna be the last mask
standing.
I know for a fact that I want
it more than anybody else,
and that's all the attitude
you need.
Coming up...
All three finalist will
take it off.
‐What?
‐What?
I can't take it anymore.
And the winner of the
golden mask
will finally be revealed.
Who's behind the mask
of our champion?
‐No way!
‐Wow!
- ‐Are you kidding me?
- I was right!
Yeah.
We're back on
"The Masked Singer" finale.
The time has come for our panel
and the studio audience
to vote for their favorite.
One of these singers will win
this competition
and have the right to take home
our golden mask,
and put it next to all
their other awards.
Wow. Whoo!
Peacock, Monster, and Bee,
you all should be very, very
proud of how far you've come.
Very.
Now we're gonna reveal
you one by one.
Starting with the singer
in third place.
The votes are in.
Coming in third is...
My God.
Look at one‐eyed Monster.
♪ ♪
My God.
♪ ♪
The Bee!
Aw.
My God.
Ladies and gentlemen,
keep it going for the Bee.
My God.
I thought it'd be the Peacock.
You guys, get out of here.
Await your fate.
One of you will be crowned
champion later on.
Bee, step on down here
to center stage with me.
Whoo!
I bow down to you.
But before the Bee
unmasks once and for all,
panel, what are your
final guesses
about who's behind the mask?
With a voice like that
it's pretty hard
not to hear who it is.
Yeah,
it's a voice from God.
When I heard you sing,
I knew within
a half of a second
who you were.
Seriously, and then,
like you said,
you started your professional
career in the '50s.
‐And the Georgia peaches.
‐Yeah, that's right.
Well, it sounds like
our panel is in agreement.
Y'all wanna say it at once?
‐Yes.
‐Sure.
One, two, three.
- Gladys.
- Anita Baker.
Stop that, Ken.
Seriously,
I think it's Anita Baker.
- ‐I really do.
- All right.
I really do.
Stick with your guns.
Are you guys ready?
The panel have made
their final guesses.
So, Bee, show us all
who's behind the mask!
Take it off!
Somebody needs to help her,
it's Gladys Knight.
Who are you?
Show us your face!
♪ Come on and tell me
who are you ♪
♪ You you
who are you ♪
The legendary
Gladys Knight!
Yes!
I told you!
I told you!
Yes, baby.
My goodness.
Hey, y'all!
Yes! Yes!
Okay, Kenan, congrats.
‐I told you!
Look how beautiful
she is.
You guys were right.
Gladys! Gladys!
Gladys!
Except for Dr. Ken.
Yep. Nope. Nope.
Wow.
Wow, it is such an honor,
such a pleasure.
You may not remember this,
you are the first entertainer
celebrity superstar
that I have ever met.
‐I was a kid in North Carolina.
‐I remember you.
And you took the time out
to tell me how special I was
and that I could make it,
and to be standing next
to you right here
is insane.
I love you so much.
But we all have to know‐‐
I got some sugar too!
I got some sugar.
You lucky dog.
‐He jealous.
Robin, don't get jealous
of my sugar.
I want a Gladys Knight smooch.
Why would you do
a show like this?
Because we should always strive
to do different kinds of things
because they elevate us
eventually.
That's right.
Preach!
Now, what did you learn
being inside that Bee costume?
It was kind of difficult for
me because, first of all,
you can't see nothing.
The eyes are so important.
You know, just,
just seeing you guys here.
Look at me.
Let me look at you.
Let me look at you,
and you, and you.
You know?
That's what gives me courage.
Absolutely.
The cool thing about you‐‐
there were so many clues.
You had everything
from cooking,
you had everything from,
you know, the peaches.
Patti can't cook.
Patti can't cook.
Not like Ms. Gladys.
Not like me. I taught
her everything she knows.
She taught Patti
everything she knows.
You heard it here.
We love you so much,
and, like, all of us,
we are just in awe of you
right now.
Now take off
the Gladys Knight mask
and show us the Anita Baker
that we want this to be.
Cousin Kenan.
Well, as the resident
black judge...
You know good and well
how heavy you are in
the culture, you know?
Thank you.
Because that voice has
graced my life,
my parent's life,
and, like,
every single family member
I've ever had.
And I think it's
an unbelievable feeling
to be able to have
witnessed this.
I can't thank you guys enough
for having me on the show.
‐It's been incredible.
‐Me too.
You're welcome.
Thank you so much.
Ladies and gentlemen,
let's hear it one more time

We are moments away

your true identity.
But first, who is the Peacock?
Aw.
I bet you were so close.
I bet it was.
Peacock, we love you too!
- ‐Whoo!
- All right, gang.
I need your final answers.
Who on earth do you think
the Peacock really is?
There were so many
things from the‐‐
performing
for kings and queens,
he's also a magician,
tap dance, ballet,
and he mentioned
that he was inspired
by the "Blurred Line" song,
which he parodied and released
an album four years ago.
So I'm gonna stick with
my otherworldly guess
of "Weird Al" Yankovic.
It's actually
a really great guess,
and it's been driving me crazy
all of these weeks
trying to figure out
who you are
because you're so talented
and you're a perfectionist.
And I know that there's a lot
of artists that are,
but, child prodigy,
knows how to play the piano,
award shows, so I'm gonna go
with Donny Osmond.
Or Neil Patrick Harris,
but I can only pick one.
All right, all right.
Man, this is tough.
This is really tough.
Like Jenny,
to be brutally honest,
it's a toss‐up between
Neil Patrick Harris
and Donny Osmond.
It's hard to get out of your
head once you have it in there.
It's really hard, yeah.
Okay, I'll pick
Neil Patrick Harris,
because I just think
he's good at everything.
He plays cards.
You know, he's magic.
I'm going with these
two over here on the right.
It's either Neil or Donny.
I'll just go with
Neil Patrick Harris.
- Okay.
- Good guess.
Lot of Neil Patrick Harrises
up there.
Kenan Thompson.
I think I'm gonna go
with "Weird Al" Yankovic.
Okay, panel, you've made
your final guesses,
and after eight weeks it's time
to finally reveal the Peacock.
Peacock, show us all
who's behind the mask.

NICK: My God!
Donny Osmond!
Jenny!
Of course it's you.
One of the greatest
entertainers of our generation.
Stage, film, music,
television,
over 80 million records sold.
‐
‐Word. Word.
I'm so glad I didn't let
that go.
What in the world would make
you do a crazy show like this?
Because it's fun!
‐Yes!
‐Yeah!
Exactly!
I had the time of my life here,
man.
It's the best thing in my life.
It's better than being
Donny Osmond!
‐
‐Right? Come on.
That's saying a lot.
I've known you for a long time.
We go way back, Jenny.
Way back, and I know that
you're such a professional.
And you were amazing,
and it made me cry literally.
I want you to know
I've been Vegas every night
that I've been doing this too.
‐What? What?
‐What?
He's been leaving here,
jumping on a plane,
and going to Vegas.
‐That's amazing.
‐No.
Again.
Are there any big clues
that we may have missed
that could have gave it away?
The wig.
Did you get the wig?
What was the wig?
That's the wig I wore in
"Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat."
Joseph gets thrown
into jail.
I knew it was something
like that.
Right now,
let's hear it one last time

Coming up, the moment
we've been waiting for.
It's time to find out who is
the Monster.
♪ Who is that ♪
♪ Who is that ♪
Welcome back
to what's been an amazing
"Masked Singer" grand finale.
After eight weeks of
electrifying performances,
we all found out together that
the Monster is the king of
"The Masked Singer."
We're so proud!
You know what?
I'ma be honest.
I am so excited about
this reveal.
From the moment that
I heard the voice,
I knew who it was in my mind.
Who is it?
Why don't you write it down?
Write it down
and then show
us afterwards.
Somebody get me a pen.
I'll definitely write it down.
All right,
I've written it down,
but before we found out who's
behind the mask of a champion,
my crew, my panel,
my detectives,
it's all come down to this.
Who do you think is behind
the mask of our winner.
I can't take it anymore.
It's been weeks and he's been
the hardest one to figure out
and we love him so much,
but we're having such
a hard time.
Yeah, he's very frustrating.
I haven't been able to figure
out the Monster
since he started.
Sense of humor, the dance
moves, the voice is so soulful.
One person that could do
all this
and throw his voice because
he's a master mimic also
is Jamie Foxx.
So I'm gonna go
with Jamie Foxx.
- Interesting. Good guess.
- That's really good.
What stuck with me was
that you went through some
ups and downs in your life
and wanted to come back with
a new image.
Maybe people perceived
you as a monster
but you're not really a monster
And the only person that came
into my head was Michael Vick.
Michael Vick.
‐What?
‐Michael Vick?
Yes!
‐Is he a singer?
‐
KEN: Does Michael sing?
For real, I mean,
that's my for real question.
I don't know.
This show has thrown me
so many times.
This would be quite the story
of redemption
if this is Michael Vick.
Sound like a really failed
pilot.
Man, I've been going back
and forth on a few.
This is by far the hardest one,
and I'm just gonna call
an audible now.
I think it could be
Darius Rucker.
I'm gonna say Darius Ruker,
"Hootie."
Has a different thing.
Was known for, like...
- That was a good guess.
- Rock, and then country,
and now back to rock.
And he's been singing
all different of types
of songs this entire season.
That's true.
There's that Nicole
Scherzinger face again.
Okay, so part of me
thinks it is CeeLo
because of when he speaks
I kind of hear the Southern
in it.
And he's got an amazing voice,
but then his voice doesn't
sound like CeeLo fully.
So I guess I'm gonna go with a
very unconvincing CeeLo Green.
Unconvincing CeeLo.
Unconvincing CeeLo.
Question mark.
Mr. Kenan Thompson.
You know, happy feet
makes me think of, like,
possibly maybe
Martin Lawrence, maybe.
‐
‐Ooh, that's a good one.
Yeah, but I've also been
leaning towards
- ‐Tyrese Gibson.
- That's a great guess.
- ‐You know he has a great voice.
- I think I might go with
Tyrese.
‐That's a good guess.
‐That's a great guess.
All right, the panel have
made their final guesses.
This is crazy, you guys.
It is crazy.
I'm dying to know.
This is crazy
that none of us know.
This is the moment!
We need to know.
‐Monster.
‐My God. Finally!

the mask of our champion!

My man.
Yo,
you should be so proud
of yourself.
This man's musical journey
is amazing.
Grammy award winning,
singer/songwriter,
performer, producer.
Some people only thinking that
you have the skills
to sing through Auto‐Tune.
I think you proved the world
wrong on this show
right here on this stage.
Word.
That you are
an amazing vocalist.
It is my honor to present you
with the trophy.
You earned this.
You are truly the king of
"The Masked Singer."
Tell me, why would you do this
crazy show?
I didn't have a chance to come
into the game
with my natural voice,
and, you know,
a lot of peers they did
and they get accepted.
This helped me get my voice out
there even more.
And I appreciate you guys.
Yes!
Man!
Sorry I thought you were
Michael Vick.
That's okay.
‐
It's okay.
I love my dogs.
I love my dogs.
The soul that you put
down on this show, man.
I am just amazed,
and you really are incredible.
‐Incredible.
‐Thank you. Thank you.
This is exactly what this show
is about.
Someone who is not known
for this
getting to display
his natural gift right now.
‐It is just blowing my mind.
‐And winning!
Man.
It's a beautiful thing
to see you here as
our champion,
and I don't think anybody
really knew for real
it was you, dog.
Like, that's the beauty
of this show.
I keep saying it.
We don't really, really
know until you take
the mask off and turn around
and we're like, "Holy cheese."
It's T‐Pizzle."
You know what I'm saying?
- Nick.
- Yes, yes, Dr. Ken.
Can you show us your paper
because you said you knew.
We need proof.
- Come on, man.
- Let me see.
I just need
photographic evidence.
Come on.
T‐Pain.
‐Wow.
Just knew when he stared.
Messing with me,
and doing the thing with
the microphone.
I was like, "Okay, yeah,
that's Pain. That's Pain."
Thank you all for being a part
of "The Masked Singer."
This has been amazing for me.
We hope to see you all
again soon.
But first, let's hear it one
last time.
‐My God.
‐I'm gonna cry again.
For the king.
