and Monster.
And celebrity expert
Joel McHale joins the panel.
This is the weirdest show
on television.
Who will live
to sing again...
And who will be

Welcome to "The Masked Singer."
I'm your host, Nick Cannon.
And if you're new
to this party,
get ready for the most
revealing show on earth.
Tonight five of our remaining
singers are back,
but they can't get too
comfortable,
because at the end
of the night,
the weakest performer
will be unmasked
and sent packing.
All right, please welcome
first and foremost,
Mr. Robin Thicke.
The beautiful and sensational
Jenny McCarthy.
The just as beautiful
and sensational Ken Jeong.
‐
‐Whoo! Get it, Ken!
And of course
the super talented
and lovely
Nicole Scherzinger.
And tonight, our Dr. Ken
has brought along
a patient with him.
Give it up for the hilarious
Joel McHale.
Good to see all of you.
Joel, thanks for being here.
Are you ready for, like,
some craziness?
‐Yes.
‐No.
I don't know what would be
crazy about this show.
It's gonna be a good time,
though, I guarantee.
Yeah, I feel like
I'm already on drugs.
All right,
we got a lot to do tonight.
First up, let's hear it
for the Lion.
So tall.
Your first performance
totally
tamed our wild panel,
who wondered if you
came from a girl group.
So let's all look closely
in this video
for any possible clues
about who's behind the mask
of the Lion.
After my last
performance,
the panel's glowing comments
about my voice...
‐Unbelievable!
‐Wow.
Put me on cloud nine.
If you're not a musical artist,
then you're lying.
Because that was unbelievable.
Now I feel like
a frontrunner.
I've always loved to sing,
but the anonymity of the mask
has made me truly courageous.
It's like she's
leading a charge.
An activist.
For me, growing up
in the public eye
has been a gift
and a curse.
But I try to use my platform
to help others.
It's a lion who believes
in something.
Like, "Let's go eat that
wildebeest."
Maybe.
And always tell my pride
you have to be strong
and stand up
for what you believe in.
All about
female empowerment.
So Lion's like a protester.
Pride.
So tonight I'm gonna
give it all I got
and sing my heart out.
Hailey, Idaho.
Halley's Comet.
Because this lion's
going to win.
This is gonna be good.
Yeah.

That is a trained vocalist.
‐Right?
‐Yeah, yeah.
The queen!
Awesome job.
Lion! Lion!
You got another
standing ovation.
What a competition.
Dang. How good was
the Lion's performance?
You got balls, honey,
singing that song.
That is a really‐‐
it's a classic song.
That was great.
I just love how you're always
so poised on stage.
You have such a great stride.
And a great commanding
presence
about you
always on stage.
I mean, it's obvious that
she is a professionally
trained singer.
It's unbelievable, your voice.
Power, control.
‐Unbelievable.
‐What?
Joel, what'd you think
about that?
That performance was,
it was like a huge sexy
belt buckle out there.
This is, of course,
my first show,
but it's really great.
You're way more talented
than Ken Jeong.
Okay, you know what?
It's not a‐‐
It's not a competition
about me and the Lion.
I feel like it's a competition.
No, no,
this is not about me.
Ken, could you have done this?
Um, you know what?
Actually, I never could.
This‐‐your performance
is so powerful.
I'm just trying to figure
out...
‐Who it is?
‐Who you are.
‐Well, that's part of the show.
‐I know.
I get it, Joel.
Let me finish.
‐I...
‐Go ahead.
Am part of your pride.
How about that?
Saw a lot of power in that
video and in the performance.
Were you guys picking up
on any more hints?
Yes.
I did notice
in this performance
vocally, that she might be
a little bit more seasoned,
a little bit older.
I don't
necessarily think
that she's
a professional singer.
‐
‐You don't think she is?
I feel more‐‐
maybe I was getting
more of an actor
who can sing.
No, no, definitely
a seasoned performer.
I don't think so.
Actually,
this is important.
Nicole, last time,
you got her to say that
she was in a girls' group,
remember that?
Wait, no, she said that "I come
from a group of women."
‐Or a tribe.
‐I come from a group of women.
Like a softball team?
I was thinking Kelly Rowland,
but I still think she
was part of a girl group.
I don't know
if you're from a group.
It said in the package
"Hailey."
Maybe it's Hailey Baldwin.
Maybe Nicole's right.
Singer, actress, performer.
‐Astronaut.
‐Activist.
Not astronaut.
‐Electrician.
‐Not electrician.
Welder.
Boat captain.
- ‐Worst guesses, Joel.
- ‐
I say actress.
Emily Blunt.
Yeah.
I see it.
It makes sense to me.
There's so many celebrities,
though, that have, you know‐‐
they're an activist, so‐‐
Well, it sounds like we need
some more clues, right?
I'm gonna ask, um,
do you currently
have a platinum album?
Ooh.
- Yes.
- Yet.
- ‐Yet.
- Nothing gold or platinum?
Well, you're definitely
on your way.
Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time
for the Lion.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
Who do you think it is?
I think she's an actress.
I could tell by the singing.
When she sang, I was like,
"She's not
a professional singer."
You guys are crazy.
I didn't think she was
a professional singer.
Ken did.
You know,
singing as the Lion
gives me a confidence that
I never knew I had,
and the panel is nowhere close
to guessing who I am.
Can you figure it out?
Coming up,
the guessing game continues.
I have performed
in Las Vegas.
Who could that be?
With four more
incredible performances...
I was thinking Mary Lou Retton.
Mary Lou Retton's 4'11".
She's Ken's height.
And later...
One of these
great characters
will be unmasked
and sent packing.
My god!
We are back on
"The Masked Singer,"
trying to figure out
whosungit.
Now, who's behind the mask?
We definitely want to know
what you think.
So make sure
you use that hashtag
#themaskedsinger
and let us know.
Someone famous
will be getting unmasked
at the end
of tonight's show.
And I feel like
I've met this character
on the road somewhere.
Let's all check out
the clue video
and see if I might be right
about the Deer.
And that winner is...
the Lion.
Man, last time
I was on that stage,
I was really off my game.
Sorry, Deer, that means
you're in the bottom three
and in jeopardy of
being unmasked tonight.
Being in the bottom
ain't my style.
I used to be able to sell salt
to a slug.
All right, Deer used car
commercial take one.
Come on down
to the Moose used car lot.
Okay, it's an athlete that's
obviously done commercials.
Come on up‐‐
MAN: Cut.
Dang it.
Deer, you're making
a donkey of yourself.
This week I gotta give it
all I got;
do what I love
and throw myself
hooves first
into this competition.
And trust me,
I know how to throw.
My gosh,
they're throwing.
Who's‐‐who does that?
He's a thrower.
He's a quarterback.
It's John Elway.
It might be.
♪ ♪
Great job.
That's a wrap.
Or Stone Cold.
Wrestler.
Could be‐‐
it could be a wrestler.
Like, a WWE wrestler,
absolutely.
No deer were harmed
during the filming
of this commercial.
I feel like he just looks like
a heavyweight boxer.
I was feeling like
George Foreman.
‐It's not George Foreman.
‐I think he's either a boxer‐‐
George Foreman probably weighs
200 more pounds.
He's‐‐George Foreman's huge.

Must be an athlete, right?
No knees left?
‐Yeah!
‐You made it.
The Deer was definitely
shining.
- ‐Panel, what'd you guys think?
- ‐
Be careful those antlers.
I think you sound good
singing country.
I heard a little country twang
in there.
Even though I don't think
you're a professional singer...
‐What?
‐You might be more‐‐
More like an athlete
or something.
I think your vocals shone
a little bit more this week.
- ‐Good job.
- ‐
Well, Deer, you know,
I could
tell you're a little bit older
‐just by the size of your‐‐
JOEL: Insulting.
‐
‐No!
Your antlers are very large.
I'd like to apologize.
‐
NICK: Ken.
I can tell you're not
a professional singer,
but I can tell you're
definitely game.
That's good.
That was good, Ken.
That's good, Ken.
The comedy police are coming
to take Ken away in a second.
It was the best song
I've ever seen
sung by a deer in a gas mask.
I love all your albums,
Brett Favre.
Brett Favre might be
the best guess yet.
I gotta be honest with you,
Joel.
Why don't we just ask him
who he is?
That would be so much faster.
We know from his previous
package that he said
he gets knocked down a lot
and gets back up.
We thought wrestler.
We thought athlete.
He even said "Ravens, beware."
So I thought
big Ben Roethlisberger, yeah.
He definitely is famous enough
that he did
some type of commercials
and has a lot of trophies.
He could be a quarterback.
Terry Bradshaw?
‐
‐I think Terry Bradshaw
is a great guess.
And also the way that paper
was thrown wildly off mark,
you could definitely tell
it was Terry Bradshaw.
I want to see if I get a rise
out of you.
It sounds like you guys
need another clue.
‐Yes.
‐Yes.
I have multiple
world titles.
World titles?
Started in
track and field...
Whoa.
Started.
Then it went to horses.
Horses.
Wow.
Now,
as far as horses go,
that means he could be
a horse owner.
He could be‐‐he could have
taken his money‐‐
And that would be
a huge jockey.
- ‐Yeah.
- ‐
And there are many
track and field stars
that go into being professional
football players and whatnot.
Yeah.
I think they're trying to
throw us off the scent.
You know, I think
it's an NFL player.
I think it's‐‐
it's a quarterback.
You know, maybe it's like the
Colts because of the horses.
Especially with
all the trophies
and he did a commercial.
Like, he's famous for
probably a lot of things,
but mainly probably football.
Yeah.
I know one thing, the Deer
definitely did run the stage.
So y'all keep it going for him.
Deer, we'll see you
a little later
for our big vote
and our unmasking.
The Peacock will sing next,
and still to come,
Unicorn and Monster.
And then the big vote
that will decide
who's unmasking‐‐
And they must take it off.
Be careful, man.
We don't want the Deer to fall.
The Deer is just roaming.
Someone, please.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
And if the Deer
loses the vote tonight,
we'll find out
if they're right.
What does the horse thing mean?
'Cause they're‐‐it could be
the Colts or the Broncos
if it's a horse thing, right?
Yep.
♪ Who is that? ♪
Someone's taking it up
30 seconds.
Gee.
Levitating.
Don't fall!
‐Don't fall.
Whoo!
Welcome back.
Now, we're in the middle of
a dramatic whosungit mystery.
At the end of the night,
one of our singing celebrities
will be unmasked.
Next up, let's study
every feather in this video
for any hint about the Peacock.
When I stepped on
that stage for the first time,
I loved being able to perform
without anyone knowing
who I was.
It was absolutely
exhilarating.
And I felt like
I was five years old.
Way to kick it off.
‐Right?
‐Whoo!
This show
appealed to me so much
because I've had so many
different incarnations
of my career,
and everyone
thinks they know me.
♪ ♪
I started out
as a little teenybopper.
But there's more
than meets the eye.
So a magician?
Yeah.
‐Maybe again?
But that's Nicole's thing.
Peacock and Teller.
Then was cast
in some dramatic roles.
Some dramatic roles.
He could be an actor.
Yeah, a little bit of
everything.
And tonight
I'm gonna push myself
harder than I ever
have before
by performing
on a 30‐foot lift
in a mask in which I can
barely see my own feet.

He's such a performer.
He's good.
He's such, like, a showman.
That's what I'm talking
about, Peacock.
Panel?
You're obviously a pro.
I think you're
a professional singer.
You are, like, one of the
frontrunners of this.
I was really into it.
So good on you.
I thought it was another
electrifying performance,
Peacock.
I feel like you are
a natural born performer.
Because you were
on that hydraulic lift,
and that was really high,
and you were just,
like, chilling up there.
You were having
a ham sandwich.
I don't know
what you were doing.
You just felt so natural
up there.
This is by far the greatest
singing performance
I've ever seen from someone
wearing a peacock mask.
And it is incredible.
I was scared when you were
up on the lift,
'cause peacocks can't fly.
And‐‐but‐‐
Actually, they can.
Well, they look fly.
I know that.
Okay, okay.
It was really great.
Now, we saw
an amazing performance.
We also saw the package.
Now, were there any hints
that you guys picked up on?
Well, we have picked up
a whole bunch
from his previous performance.
We know he's a showman.
We know he's a musician.
We also get a lot of
comedic timing from him.
We were talking about
maybe he's hosted
very important shows
like the Oscars before or‐‐
It's Neil Patrick Harris.
Ooh.
Last time I asked if he was
a magician of some sort.
Yeah, he's definitely
a professional performer.
We've been getting magician.
Like Criss Angel maybe
or David Copperfield.
The name David Copperfield
hasn't been thrown around.
That's a good one.
He said something
about dramatic roles,
so maybe an actor
with some stage background?
I was gonna say
David Hasselhoff.
Great job, Nicole.
He's definitely maybe
performed in Vegas.
There was a lot of clues
of Vegas.
Then I noticed
in the clue package,
there was a black‐and‐white
image of fans,
meaning he might be
an older celebrity.
So I'm going with an OG
that might still perform
in Vegas today.
I have performed
in Las Vegas.
‐
‐Whoa.
That's pretty major.
I'm starting to think Tom Jones
at this point.
It's a good guess.
Whoever you are,
you're used to the stage.
You were born to be up there.
Why, thank you.
Yes.
All right, well,
it sounds like you guys
are definitely
picking up on these hints.
Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time for the Peacock.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
Who do you think it is?
Now, he still could be a comic.
It could‐‐all these clues
could be a red herring.
‐It could be, like‐‐
‐Kevin Costner?
After my second
performance,
I feel even more confident.
I have really
stumped the panel.
I'm gonna strut my fabulous
self all the way to the end.
How can you possibly
follow an act
like the Peacock?
Well, still to come,
Unicorn and Monster.
And then our audience
and our panel will vote
and decide who's unmasking
and heading back
to their
glamourous life tonight.
Find out who on
"The Masked Singer."
♪ Who is that? ♪
Okay, ladies and
gentlemen,
this is the Unicorn.
Mr. Nick Cannon is on his way.
Yo, it's so incredibly hard
to see in those masks.
They gotta be hot.
They can't breathe.
They can't see.
And they're all celebrities.
They already high maintenance
without masks.
No offense, Unicorn.
Yeah, we are back
on "The Masked Singer,"
ladies and gentlemen.
And we don't have a minute
to waste,
because we only have
two more performances
before someone
has to take it off.
Whoo!
Take it off!
And now, the Unicorn.
For years,
I've been lacking confidence
because I lost my sheen.
Lost a sheen.
Her sheen.
‐She lost Charlie Sheen?
‐Yeah.
And before
my last performance,
I was so scared.
But as soon as I stepped
on that stage...
Sing it, girl!
I was flying high.
Amazing!
I came here
to conquer my fear of singing
and of being judged.
To see you here
with such confidence,
and you sang great.
‐It's so true.
‐Great job.
And I did it.
So this week I'm gonna exude
model behavior.
Model behavior.
Maybe a model.
‐It's Denise Richards.
‐Denise Richards?
I'm feeling
victorious.
And tonight I am going
for the gold.
"gold."

Keep it going for the Unicorn.
She's not that innocent.
Wow.
You know what I love about you,
Unicorn,
is that you're very vulnerable.
Like, I think all of us girls
can relate
to being insecure
at one time.
I mean, I know
that I've had a hard time
convincing people
I'm actually real.
But I think your performance
was magical.
I almost pooped a rainbow.
‐And it was just‐‐
‐
Really sweet.
You have such a sweet, kind,
gentle voice.
And I agree.
I think that it's great
to see your alternative
personality shine
in a fierce
Britney‐Spears‐type record.
All right, you guys
are our expert panel.
Did you guys pick up
on any clues?
Well, we know a lot of things
about the Unicorn.
We heard about Beverly Hills,
insecurities, sensitivities.
But the new part was the word
"model behavior."
So maybe you were, you know,
from Beverly Hills
and now that you've come into
your own,
you've become a model?
I was thinking Denise Richards,
'cause you said
"I've lost my sheen."
But she keeps
referring to flying,
so I was like,
maybe she's a gymnast.
'Cause she said "gold."
You know what?
I really like where you're
going with this.
The gold thing.
I didn't pick up on that.
Yeah.
Nick, I have a question.
Can you let me know
how high her heels are?
I'd like to get a feel for
how tall she is.
Wow.
Yeah,
those are pretty tall.
‐So it could be a gymnast.
‐Yeah.
It could be that.
You know,
the way she uses her hands
and she's very dainty and sweet
reminds me
of Gabby Douglas.
Okay.
Because she has that kind of
very sweet, shy personality.
In that space, I was thinking
of Mary Lou Retton.
Mary Lou Retton? Yeah.
That's a good thought.
You think it's Mary Lou Retton?
Or Aly Raisman.
No, but Mary Lou Retton's
4'11".
You never know
in these costumes.
She's Ken's height.
I'm thinking‐‐
I'm thinking
Kayla Maroney vibes.
I love her music.
No, it's a gymnast.
It's a gymnast.
Not a‐‐
Yeah, she's gymnast who smirks.
‐
‐You know what I mean?
You guys are definitely
thinking up there.
We love it, but let's see
if we can get a clue.
Unicorn, are you known
for being a gymnast?
‐
‐
I see.
In the bedroom.
So she definitely knows
Charlie Sheen.
Yeah.
I'm starting to really
like this Unicorn.
All right.
Let me straighten out my‐‐
Does that do anything
for the panel?
It does nothing, Nick.
It does absolutely nothing.
Once again,
ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for the Unicorn!
We'll see you a little later on
for our big vote.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
If Unicorn
loses the vote tonight,
we could find out.
I felt confident.
I love that Robin thought
I was a model.
I was, like, "Yeah,
this is awesome.
I can be anyone I want to be
behind this mask."

Talk to the Monster.
After watching you perform,
I'm like,
"This is the weirdest
show on television."
100%.
But you really can sing.
It was really great.
You know, to be honest,
I've loved all the performances
we've seen tonight,
but that was my favorite.
I mean‐‐
‐Really?
‐I'll tell you why.
‐Really?
‐Yeah, I'll tell you why.
None of the other singers
really went for
some big
mountaintop note at the end,
and he went all the way
to the top.
This was my favorite too,
Robin.
I agree with you.
You're so cute.
You are so adorable.
You've thrown me off, because
I thought you were a comedian,
but with that voice,
I‐‐you are a singer.
You've gotta‐‐
or you've sang before.
Yes.
We gotta figure out
if you guys
saw any clues
in the performance.
Calm down, Monster.
Or in the video.
First week we really thought
it was a rapper.
But he did a country song,
you know?
But‐‐
It did say in the film
that he was from the South.
He said coming from the south.
Nelly.
Ooh, that's a good one.
He had a grille, sportsmen,
Caddy, and swing.
Caddy.
I didn't see Caddy.
‐Yeah.
‐
Which cad‐‐
like as in a Caddy?
‐
You guys picked up
on a few clues,
but let's get a clue
directly from the Monster.
Hit us up, Monster.
What you got?
Ooh.
‐Maybe it's a golfer.
Is that crazy to say?
Maybe he's an athlete
who can sing, you know?
Ooh.
That's not a bad idea.
Well, I noticed something new
about New York City,
and New York City,
obviously the Yankees,
the most popular team
in the world.
I would say maybe a recently
retired New York Yankee.
Maybe Derek Jeter.
I don't think he's an athlete.
I think he's a comedian.
He's somebody like maybe
Broadway, like‐‐
‐Like a physical.
‐He's so light on his feet.
Like someone
who's a physical comic.
I definitely agree.
It's Kevin Hart.
‐
JOEL: It's Kevin. Aww.
How dare you?
He's way shorter.
This is a hard one.
‐Yeah.
‐There you have it.
Give it up for Monster.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
Who do you think it is?
Tough one.
Tough one.
'Cause we don't get
a body type
from this kind of a costume.
When we come back,
it's the big vote.
Only four singers
will continue,
and one will be unmasked

on "The Masked Singer."
♪ Who is that? ♪
Welcome back
to "The Masked Singer."
I'm Nick Cannon,
and I have shared the stage
with some real characters
in my time,
but what an honor it is
to share the stage right now
with five legendary icons:
The Monster, the Peacock,
the Lion,
the Deer,
and the Unicorn.
One of these great characters
will be unmasked
and sent packing tonight.
The time is here for
our studio audience and panel
to vote for
their favorite performer.
Okay, you guys ready?
The votes are in.
And there was only
2% difference
between the bottom
two singers.
What?
Ooh!
Tonight
our masked singer
who must take it off is...
The Deer!
No!
Give it up for the Deer, y'all.
You four up here, say your
farewells to the Deer.
And go back to the lair.
I wanted the Deer to stay.
You will live
to sing another day,
Unicorn, Lion, Peacock,
and Monster.
And my friend, the Deer,
come here.
Don't try get away too quickly.
Get over here, Deer.
I like the Deer.
‐I like the Deer too.
‐Yeah.
This is bittersweet for me,
because I hate to see you go,
but I'm glad I'm not gonna be
getting stabbed
with them damn antlers.
All right, Deer,
before you unmask, guys,
who on earth
do you think this is?
Well, we know a lot of things
about him.
Athlete,
doesn't like the Ravens,
and has multiple championships,
world championships, right?
And I actually picked up
a very last clue just now.
When I saw him laugh
just right now,
he laughed with his shoulders
like this.
And I watch‐‐I watch Fox a lot
with football,
and I think Terry Bradshaw
laughs the exact same way.
I've seen him do this laugh.
Really?
Interesting.
Terry Bradshaw
is my guess.
What about you, Nicole?
You watch a lot
of football too.
So much.
Looking at the clues
in the past,
I think it's Terry Bradshaw.
Jenny, what about you?
Who do you think it is?
Um, I think I'm gonna go with
the horses clue.
So the Colts and Broncos
quarterback, Peyton Manning.
Who is this, Joel?
When I saw the Deer
try to walk down
the stairs,
I was like,
"Those are the knees
of a former NFL player."
Look at him laughing.
So I'm gonna guess
what Nicole did.
Terry Bradshaw.
I think I know who this is
as well.
Ken!
It's not Terry Bradshaw.
It is someone
who played with a team
with a horse on it,
but it's not Peyton Manning.
It is NFL Hall of Famer
John Elway.
No way. You're crazy.
Okay, panel, you've made
your final guesses.
Now let's see if any of you
were right.
All right, the Deer...
I can't wait to find out
who this is.
'Cause I have to know.
Show us who's behind the mask.
If this is Terry Bradshaw,
I'm gonna die.
Come on, Terry.

Welcome to "The Masked Singer."
I'm your host, Nick Cannon.
And if you're new
to this party,
get ready for the most
revealing show on earth.
Tonight five of our remaining
singers are back,
but they can't get too
comfortable,
because at the end
of the night,
the weakest performer
will be unmasked
and sent packing.
All right, please welcome
first and foremost,
Mr. Robin Thicke.
The beautiful and sensational
Jenny McCarthy.
The just as beautiful
and sensational Ken Jeong.
‐
‐Whoo! Get it, Ken!
And of course
the super talented
and lovely
Nicole Scherzinger.
And tonight, our Dr. Ken
has brought along
a patient with him.
Give it up for the hilarious
Joel McHale.
Good to see all of you.
Joel, thanks for being here.
Are you ready for, like,
some craziness?
‐Yes.
‐No.
I don't know what would be
crazy about this show.
It's gonna be a good time,
though, I guarantee.
Yeah, I feel like
I'm already on drugs.
All right,
we got a lot to do tonight.
First up, let's hear it
for the Lion.
So tall.
Your first performance
totally
tamed our wild panel,
who wondered if you
came from a girl group.
So let's all look closely
in this video
for any possible clues
about who's behind the mask
of the Lion.
After my last
performance,
the panel's glowing comments
about my voice...
‐Unbelievable!
‐Wow.
Put me on cloud nine.
If you're not a musical artist,
then you're lying.
Because that was unbelievable.
Now I feel like
a frontrunner.
I've always loved to sing,
but the anonymity of the mask
has made me truly courageous.
It's like she's
leading a charge.
An activist.
For me, growing up
in the public eye
has been a gift
and a curse.
But I try to use my platform
to help others.
It's a lion who believes
in something.
Like, "Let's go eat that
wildebeest."
Maybe.
And always tell my pride
you have to be strong
and stand up
for what you believe in.
All about
female empowerment.
So Lion's like a protester.
Pride.
So tonight I'm gonna
give it all I got
and sing my heart out.
Hailey, Idaho.
Halley's Comet.
Because this lion's
going to win.
This is gonna be good.
Yeah.

You got another
standing ovation.
What a competition.
Dang. How good was
the Lion's performance?
You got balls, honey,
singing that song.
That is a really‐‐
it's a classic song.
That was great.
I just love how you're always
so poised on stage.
You have such a great stride.
And a great commanding
presence
about you
always on stage.
I mean, it's obvious that
she is a professionally
trained singer.
It's unbelievable, your voice.
Power, control.
‐Unbelievable.
‐What?
Joel, what'd you think
about that?
That performance was,
it was like a huge sexy

This is, of course,
my first show,
but it's really great.
You're way more talented
than Ken Jeong.
Okay, you know what?
It's not a‐‐
It's not a competition
about me and the Lion.
I feel like it's a competition.
No, no,
this is not about me.
Ken, could you have done this?
Um, you know what?
Actually, I never could.
This‐‐your performance
is so powerful.
I'm just trying to figure
out...
‐Who it is?
‐Who you are.
‐Well, that's part of the show.
‐I know.
I get it, Joel.
Let me finish.
‐I...
‐Go ahead.
Am part of your pride.
How about that?
Saw a lot of power in that
video and in the performance.
Were you guys picking up
on any more hints?
Yes.
I did notice
in this performance
vocally, that she might be
a little bit more seasoned,
a little bit older.
I don't
necessarily think
that she's
a professional singer.
‐
‐You don't think she is?
I feel more‐‐
maybe I was getting
more of an actor
who can sing.
No, no, definitely
a seasoned performer.
I don't think so.
Actually,
this is important.
Nicole, last time,
you got her to say that
she was in a girls' group,
remember that?
Wait, no, she said that "I come
from a group of women."
‐Or a tribe.
‐I come from a group of women.
Like a softball team?
I was thinking Kelly Rowland,
but I still think she
was part of a girl group.
I don't know
if you're from a group.
It said in the package
"Hailey."
Maybe it's Hailey Baldwin.
Maybe Nicole's right.
Singer, actress, performer.
‐Astronaut.
‐Activist.
Not astronaut.
‐Electrician.
‐Not electrician.
Welder.
Boat captain.
- ‐Worst guesses, Joel.
- ‐
I say actress.
Emily Blunt.
Yeah.
I see it.
It makes sense to me.
There's so many celebrities,
though, that have, you know‐‐
they're an activist, so‐‐
Well, it sounds like we need
some more clues, right?
I'm gonna ask, um,
do you currently
have a platinum album?
Ooh.
- Yes.
- Yet.
- ‐Yet.
- Nothing gold or platinum?
Well, you're definitely
on your way.
Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time
for the Lion.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
Who do you think it is?
I think she's an actress.
I could tell by the singing.
When she sang, I was like,
"She's not
a professional singer."
You guys are crazy.
I didn't think she was
a professional singer.
Ken did.
You know,
singing as the Lion
gives me a confidence that
I never knew I had,
and the panel is nowhere close
to guessing who I am.
Can you figure it out?
Coming up,
the guessing game continues.
I have performed
in Las Vegas.
Who could that be?
With four more
incredible performances...
I was thinking Mary Lou Retton.
Mary Lou Retton's 4'11".
She's Ken's height.
And later...
One of these
great characters
will be unmasked
and sent packing.
My god!
We are back on
"The Masked Singer,"
trying to figure out
whosungit.
Now, who's behind the mask?
We definitely want to know
what you think.
So make sure
you use that hashtag
#themaskedsinger
and let us know.
Someone famous
will be getting unmasked
at the end
of tonight's show.
And I feel like
I've met this character
on the road somewhere.
Let's all check out
the clue video
and see if I might be right
about the Deer.
And that winner is...
the Lion.
Man, last time
I was on that stage,
I was really off my game.
Sorry, Deer, that means
you're in the bottom three
and in jeopardy of
being unmasked tonight.
Being in the bottom
ain't my style.
I used to be able to sell salt
to a slug.
All right, Deer used car
commercial take one.
Come on down
to the Moose used car lot.
Okay, it's an athlete that's
obviously done commercials.
Come on up‐‐
MAN: Cut.
Dang it.
Deer, you're making
a donkey of yourself.
This week I gotta give it
all I got;
do what I love

hooves first
into this competition.
And trust me,
I know how to throw.

The comedy police are coming
to take Ken away in a second.
It was the best song
I've ever seen
sung by a deer in a gas mask.
I love all your albums,
Brett Favre.
Brett Favre might be
the best guess yet.
I gotta be honest with you,
Joel.
Why don't we just ask him
who he is?
That would be so much faster.
We know from his previous
package that he said
he gets knocked down a lot
and gets back up.
We thought wrestler.
We thought athlete.
He even said "Ravens, beware."
So I thought
big Ben Roethlisberger, yeah.
He definitely is famous enough
that he did
some type of commercials
and has a lot of trophies.
He could be a quarterback.
Terry Bradshaw?
‐
‐I think Terry Bradshaw
is a great guess.
And also the way that paper
was thrown wildly off mark,
you could definitely tell
it was Terry Bradshaw.
I want to see if I get a rise
out of you.
It sounds like you guys
need another clue.
‐Yes.
‐Yes.
I have multiple
world titles.
World titles?
Started in
track and field...
Whoa.
Started.
Then it went to horses.
Horses.
Wow.
Now,
as far as horses go,
that means he could be
a horse owner.
He could be‐‐he could have
taken his money‐‐
And that would be
a huge jockey.
- ‐Yeah.
- ‐
And there are many
track and field stars
that go into being professional
football players and whatnot.
Yeah.
I think they're trying to
throw us off the scent.
You know, I think
it's an NFL player.
I think it's‐‐
it's a quarterback.
You know, maybe it's like the
Colts because of the horses.
Especially with
all the trophies
and he did a commercial.
Like, he's famous for
probably a lot of things,
but mainly probably football.
Yeah.
I know one thing, the Deer
definitely did run the stage.
So y'all keep it going for him.
Deer, we'll see you
a little later
for our big vote
and our unmasking.
The Peacock will sing next,
and still to come,
Unicorn and Monster.

loses the vote tonight,

He's such a performer.
He's good.
He's such, like, a showman.
That's what I'm talking
about, Peacock.
Panel?
You're obviously a pro.
I think you're
a professional singer.
You are, like, one of the
frontrunners of this.
I was really into it.
So good on you.
I thought it was another
electrifying performance,
Peacock.
I feel like you are
a natural born performer.
Because you were
on that hydraulic lift,
and that was really high,
and you were just,
like, chilling up there.
You were having
a ham sandwich.
I don't know
what you were doing.
You just felt so natural
up there.
This is by far the greatest
singing performance
I've ever seen from someone
wearing a peacock mask.
And it is incredible.
I was scared when you were
up on the lift,
'cause peacocks can't fly.
And‐‐but‐‐
Actually, they can.
Well, they look fly.
I know that.
Okay, okay.
It was really great.
Now, we saw
an amazing performance.
We also saw the package.
Now, were there any hints
that you guys picked up on?
Well, we have picked up
a whole bunch
from his previous performance.
We know he's a showman.
We know he's a musician.
We also get a lot of
comedic timing from him.
We were talking about
maybe he's hosted
very important shows
like the Oscars before or‐‐
It's Neil Patrick Harris.
Ooh.
Last time I asked if he was
a magician of some sort.
Yeah, he's definitely
a professional performer.
We've been getting magician.
Like Criss Angel maybe
or David Copperfield.
The name David Copperfield
hasn't been thrown around.
That's a good one.
He said something
about dramatic roles,
so maybe an actor
with some stage background?
I was gonna say
David Hasselhoff.
Great job, Nicole.
He's definitely maybe
performed in Vegas.
There was a lot of clues
of Vegas.
Then I noticed
in the clue package,
there was a black‐and‐white
image of fans,
meaning he might be
an older celebrity.
So I'm going with an OG
that might still perform
in Vegas today.
I have performed
in Las Vegas.
‐
‐Whoa.
That's pretty major.
I'm starting to think Tom Jones
at this point.
It's a good guess.
Whoever you are,
you're used to the stage.
You were born to be up there.
Why, thank you.
Yes.
All right, well,
it sounds like you guys
are definitely
picking up on these hints.
Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time for the Peacock.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
Who do you think it is?
Now, he still could be a comic.
It could‐‐all these clues
could be a red herring.
‐It could be, like‐‐
‐Kevin Costner?
After my second
performance,
I feel even more confident.
I have really
stumped the panel.
I'm gonna strut my fabulous
self all the way to the end.
How can you possibly
follow an act
like the Peacock?
Well, still to come,
Unicorn and Monster.
And then our audience
and our panel will vote
and decide who's unmasking
and heading back
to their
glamourous life tonight.
Find out who on
"The Masked Singer."
♪ Who is that? ♪
Okay, ladies and
gentlemen,
this is the Unicorn.
Mr. Nick Cannon is on his way.
Yo, it's so incredibly hard
to see in those masks.
They gotta be hot.
They can't breathe.
They can't see.
And they're all celebrities.
They already high maintenance
without masks.
No offense, Unicorn.
Yeah, we are back
on "The Masked Singer,"
ladies and gentlemen.
And we don't have a minute
to waste,
because we only have
two more performances
before someone
has to take it off.
Whoo!
Take it off!
And now, the Unicorn.
For years,
I've been lacking confidence
because I lost my sheen.
Lost a sheen.
Her sheen.
‐She lost Charlie Sheen?
‐Yeah.
And before
my last performance,
I was so scared.
But as soon as I stepped
on that stage...
Sing it, girl!
I was flying high.
Amazing!
I came here
to conquer my fear of singing
and of being judged.
To see you here
with such confidence,
and you sang great.
‐It's so true.
‐Great job.
And I did it.
So this week I'm gonna exude
model behavior.
Model behavior.
Maybe a model.
‐It's Denise Richards.
‐Denise Richards?
I'm feeling
victorious.
And tonight I am going
for the gold.
"gold."
No one can ever crush
this Unicorn's spirit again.

She did it again.
Keep it going for the Unicorn.
She's not that innocent.
Wow.
You know what I love about you,
Unicorn,
is that you're very vulnerable.
Like, I think all of us girls
can relate
to being insecure
at one time.
I mean, I know
that I've had a hard time
convincing people
I'm actually real.
But I think your performance
was magical.
I almost pooped a rainbow.
‐And it was just‐‐
‐
Really sweet.
You have such a sweet, kind,
gentle voice.
And I agree.
I think that it's great
to see your alternative
personality shine
in a fierce
Britney‐Spears‐type record.
All right, you guys
are our expert panel.
Did you guys pick up
on any clues?
Well, we know a lot of things
about the Unicorn.
We heard about Beverly Hills,
insecurities, sensitivities.
But the new part was the word
"model behavior."
So maybe you were, you know,
from Beverly Hills
and now that you've come into
your own,
you've become a model?
I was thinking Denise Richards,
'cause you said
"I've lost my sheen."
But she keeps
referring to flying,
so I was like,
maybe she's a gymnast.
'Cause she said "gold."
You know what?
I really like where you're
going with this.
The gold thing.
I didn't pick up on that.
Yeah.
Nick, I have a question.
Can you let me know
how high her heels are?
I'd like to get a feel for
how tall she is.
Wow.
Yeah,
those are pretty tall.
‐So it could be a gymnast.
‐Yeah.
It could be that.
You know,
the way she uses her hands
and she's very dainty and sweet
reminds me
of Gabby Douglas.
Okay.
Because she has that kind of
very sweet, shy personality.
In that space, I was thinking
of Mary Lou Retton.
Mary Lou Retton? Yeah.
That's a good thought.
You think it's Mary Lou Retton?
Or Aly Raisman.
No, but Mary Lou Retton's
4'11".
You never know
in these costumes.
She's Ken's height.
I'm thinking‐‐
I'm thinking
Kayla Maroney vibes.
I love her music.
No, it's a gymnast.
It's a gymnast.
Not a‐‐
Yeah, she's gymnast who smirks.
‐
‐You know what I mean?
You guys are definitely
thinking up there.
We love it, but let's see
if we can get a clue.
Unicorn, are you known
for being a gymnast?
‐
‐
I see.
In the bedroom.
So she definitely knows
Charlie Sheen.
Yeah.
I'm starting to really
like this Unicorn.
All right.
Let me straighten out my‐‐
Does that do anything
for the panel?
It does nothing, Nick.
It does absolutely nothing.
Once again,
ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for the Unicorn!
We'll see you a little later on
for our big vote.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
If Unicorn
loses the vote tonight,
we could find out.
I felt confident.
I love that Robin thought
I was a model.
I was, like, "Yeah,
this is awesome.
I can be anyone I want to be
behind this mask."

Take a closer look and try to

unmasked last time
was a really
tough pill to swallow.
Our first unmasked singer
is, the Hippo.

a second chance,
Monster, you will sing
another day.
I realized
I had to do
a little reset

I took a drive
up from the south

Talk to the Monster.
After watching you perform,
I'm like,
"This is the weirdest
show on television."
100%.
But you really can sing.
It was really great.
You know, to be honest,
I've loved all the performances
we've seen tonight,
but that was my favorite.
I mean‐‐
‐Really?
‐I'll tell you why.
‐Really?
‐Yeah, I'll tell you why.
None of the other singers
really went for
some big
mountaintop note at the end,
and he went all the way
to the top.
This was my favorite too,
Robin.
I agree with you.
You're so cute.
You are so adorable.
You've thrown me off, because
I thought you were a comedian,
but with that voice,
I‐‐you are a singer.
You've gotta‐‐
or you've sang before.
Yes.
We gotta figure out
if you guys
saw any clues
in the performance.
Calm down, Monster.
Or in the video.
First week we really thought
it was a rapper.
But he did a country song,
you know?
But‐‐
It did say in the film
that he was from the South.
He said coming from the south.
Nelly.
Ooh, that's a good one.
He had a grille, sportsmen,
Caddy, and swing.
Caddy.
I didn't see Caddy.
‐Yeah.
‐
Which cad‐‐
like as in a Caddy?
‐
You guys picked up
on a few clues,
but let's get a clue
directly from the Monster.
Hit us up, Monster.
What you got?
Ooh.
‐Maybe it's a golfer.
Is that crazy to say?
Maybe he's an athlete
who can sing, you know?
Ooh.
That's not a bad idea.
Well, I noticed something new
about New York City,
and New York City,
obviously the Yankees,
the most popular team
in the world.
I would say maybe a recently
retired New York Yankee.
Maybe Derek Jeter.
I don't think he's an athlete.
I think he's a comedian.
He's somebody like maybe
Broadway, like‐‐
‐Like a physical.
‐He's so light on his feet.
Like someone
who's a physical comic.
I definitely agree.
It's Kevin Hart.
‐
JOEL: It's Kevin. Aww.
How dare you?
He's way shorter.
This is a hard one.
‐Yeah.
‐There you have it.
Give it up for Monster.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
Who do you think it is?
Tough one.
Tough one.
'Cause we don't get
a body type
from this kind of a costume.
When we come back,
it's the big vote.
Only four singers
will continue,
and one will be unmasked
and sent home.
Find out who only
on "The Masked Singer."
♪ Who is that? ♪
Welcome back
to "The Masked Singer."
I'm Nick Cannon,
and I have shared the stage
with some real characters
in my time,
but what an honor it is
to share the stage right now
with five legendary icons:
The Monster, the Peacock,
the Lion,
the Deer,
and the Unicorn.
One of these great characters
will be unmasked
and sent packing tonight.
The time is here for
our studio audience and panel
to vote for
their favorite performer.
Okay, you guys ready?
The votes are in.
And there was only
2% difference
between the bottom
two singers.
What?
Ooh!
Tonight
our masked singer
who must take it off is...
The Deer!
No!
Give it up for the Deer, y'all.
You four up here, say your
farewells to the Deer.
And go back to the lair.
I wanted the Deer to stay.
You will live
to sing another day,
Unicorn, Lion, Peacock,
and Monster.
And my friend, the Deer,
come here.
Don't try get away too quickly.
Get over here, Deer.
I like the Deer.
‐I like the Deer too.
‐Yeah.
This is bittersweet for me,
because I hate to see you go,
but I'm glad I'm not gonna be
getting stabbed
with them damn antlers.
All right, Deer,
before you unmask, guys,
who on earth
do you think this is?
Well, we know a lot of things
about him.
Athlete,
doesn't like the Ravens,
and has multiple championships,
world championships, right?
And I actually picked up
a very last clue just now.
When I saw him laugh
just right now,
he laughed with his shoulders
like this.
And I watch‐‐I watch Fox a lot
with football,
and I think Terry Bradshaw
laughs the exact same way.
I've seen him do this laugh.
Really?
Interesting.
Terry Bradshaw
is my guess.
What about you, Nicole?
You watch a lot
of football too.
So much.
Looking at the clues
in the past,
I think it's Terry Bradshaw.
Jenny, what about you?
Who do you think it is?
Um, I think I'm gonna go with
the horses clue.
So the Colts and Broncos
quarterback, Peyton Manning.
Who is this, Joel?
When I saw the Deer
try to walk down
the stairs,
I was like,
"Those are the knees
of a former NFL player."
Look at him laughing.
So I'm gonna guess
what Nicole did.
Terry Bradshaw.
I think I know who this is
as well.
Ken!
It's not Terry Bradshaw.
It is someone
who played with a team
with a horse on it,
but it's not Peyton Manning.
It is NFL Hall of Famer
John Elway.
No way. You're crazy.
Okay, panel, you've made
your final guesses.
Now let's see if any of you
were right.
All right, the Deer...
I can't wait to find out
who this is.
'Cause I have to know.
Show us who's behind the mask.
If this is Terry Bradshaw,
I'm gonna die.
