Each week,

Grammy winners,
Emmy winners,
Hall of Fame players...
It could be anybody.
Leaving
the panelists...
Who is it?
And you at home guessing.
Who is behind the mask?
‐Tiger Woods.
‐It's 50 Cent.
Raven‐Symoné.
Are you breathing heavy
under that thing? I know
you need
some air right now.
Every episode,
the weakest performer
is eliminated
and their identity revealed.
‐My God!
‐Antonio Brown!
‐Tommy John!
‐Terry Bradshaw!
‐You know how much this weighs?
‐I can imagine!
Last week,
Poodle was unmasked.
It's Margaret Cho!
Margaret!
My God!
Ken, I thought you would know.
She's my sister on Dr. Ken.
I should know that.
Tonight,
four celebrities
compete to stay anonymous:
Rabbit, Unicorn,
Alien, and Lion.

I'm pretty sure
I'm Nick Cannon,

The Masked Singer.
On this whosungit,
some very famous faces

for as long as possible.
Each week,
one of our masked singers
has to take it off.
Yeah.

NICK: Now you guys
gotta make some noise
for our
brainy and beautiful panel
up there.
Jenny McCarthy.
Thank you.
And Nicole Scherzinger.
Okay, okay, okay!
And let's not forget about
those dashing gentlemen,
Ken Jeong
and Robin Thicke.
Four of our masked
singers are back tonight
and will sing
to keep their masks on.
But before we get into it,
here comes a super group
of show biz creatures
who have never met
or shared the stage before.
A historic moment
of musical unity.

Wow.
I don't know
who the hell any of you are,
but you guys are amazing.
They rock.
You know,
I have to say, it's amazing
to see you guys all onstage.
We all don't know who you are,
but the crazy part
is that you guys
don't even know who
each other are.
You guys are
famous musicians, possibly,
singing together.
I just think that's so cool.
Dr. Ken,
what do you think, sir?
In these divisive times,
it is refreshing
to see a lion and a bunny
‐and a unicorn and alien...
‐
all on the same stage.
I love it.
And if the bunny, it turns out
to be my dad,
well, I've had
this dream before.
Enough with all
the togetherness.
The Masked Singer
is not a team sport,
so let's get down to
the individual competition.
Y'all ready?
Last week, our panel
was thinking
this adorable next performer
was either Corey Feldman,
a boy band veteran,
or maybe someone
from Rascal Flatts.
So let's all hop on
this next video
and look for any clues
about the Rabbit.
♪ ♪
Well, howdy, friends.
I've been working my tail off
to keep you guessing who I am,
and showing off my range
is part of my master plan
to throw you off.
I've done Latin pop...
♪ Livin' la vida loca ♪
And country twang, y'all.
♪ So wake me up
when it's all over ♪
And tonight, I'm gonna try
and confuse the panel again
with some R&B.
I'm getting sick of the Rabbit.
He thinks he's smarter than me.
What can I say?
I'm a trickster.
I bounce here, I hop there,
but then I'm gone.
The Rabbit's been so dodgy
with the truth.
He's disappearing!
He's a magician.
So chew on this.
Ooh, now I'm thinking chef.
I'm about to bust out
all the old‐school moves.
I just hope I don't pass out.
If you think you're
confused now, just wait.
I can't trust that rabbit,
and I don't trust any rabbits,
like, in my yard,
in my meadows...
All right, you've seen
the Rabbit's video.
Now don't miss its
singing,
only on The Masked Singer,
only on FOX.
Coming up,
four explosive performances.
Are you breathing heavy
under that thing?
I know you need
some air right now.
Okay, yeah, the person
I thought
- ‐definitely ain't the police.
- ‐
This show is messing
with my mind.
And later...
The votes are in.
A reveal you'll have
to see to believe.
Who is under the mask?
Welcome back to
The Masked Singer!
Hey, you guys remember
that group,
Bell Biv DeBunny?
Never mind.
Here to warn us
all about the poison
and all the danger
that could go on,
is the Rabbit!

I must warn you ♪
‐What! My God!

‐Yes!
Yeah.
Now keep it going...
My God, that was amazing.
For the Rabbit!
The Rabbit does
the Roger Rabbit.
You had us all going
once again, Rabbit.
I was twitching
off that performance.
Hey, hey!
I'm about to go to the Rabbit
workout class right now.
Are you breathing heavy
under that thing?
I know you need
some air right now.
‐
‐
You were busting out
all the old moves.
It was so fly.
You're probably
my favorite performer
out of everyone
in the entire show.
Wow.
Okay. Here's the real.
I mean, we‐‐this is
our fifth episode right now.
I was a little bit‐‐
I won't lie to you.
I'm not even kidding.
I was a little bit
irritated with you last week.
You're doing this
annoying Method actor thing.
I was getting really annoyed.
I was not
in the mood to watch you,
and you did deliver, I think,
the best performance so far
on the series.
I can't deny.
I loved you.
I have to begrudgingly admit.
Thank you.
Also, I want to say this.
I noticed that with the mixtape
on the background,
and your choice in song,
- and those dance moves...
- Yeah.
‐Those look very familiar.
‐
‐Very boy band‐ish.
‐Yep.
‐I just want to say, yep.
‐Yes.
All right, well,
we all loved
the Rabbit's performance,
but before we go
down that rabbit hole
any further,
we've asked each
of our singers tonight
to bring an item.
- ‐
- A little show and tell
that reveals something
about who they really are.
Security?
Reveal the revealing item.
Yeah.
Bring it out.
‐Let it be a good clue.
‐Yeah.
Let this‐‐can this clue
help us?
What is it?
We're about to find out.
A magician kit.
Come on.
What'd I tell y'all?
- ‐You know what?
- Rabbit.
You have to tell us something
about what you're revealing.
What, what's going on here?
It's another way I like
to impress an audience.
- Another way.
- So technically,
I am right.
He is part magician.
Yeah, Nicole thinks everyone's
a magician,
and now he's got this.
It doesn't really help us.
Every week I think I have
Rabbit figured out,
and then they offer
some type of clue
that doesn't help at all.
- So...
- Hey, Rabbit,
twitch if you're a magician.
‐
‐
- What?
- He's tricking us.
You know what, you know?
I don't know.
It's just part
of his thing.
I think you are
way too talented musically
that this magic stuff?
Hobby, but not the real thing.
But I think it could be
the real thing.
I mean, you don't‐‐
I‐I'm‐‐this show
is messing with my mind.
As a doctor, which‐‐
I'm the only one here
as a doctor,
I'm telling you, I've been told
when looking for disease‐‐
That's why you couldn't figure
out Margaret Cho on your...
You know what,
okay, enough about‐‐
okay, what she‐‐Margaret Cho.
All right,
is everyone‐‐
has everyone had their‐‐
We're all thinking it here.
All right, everyone,
here's the deal last week.
The person that was revealed
is Margaret Cho,
who played my sister
on Dr. Ken.
I had no idea who it was.
‐He's a little stressed out.
‐He doesn't know what he's
‐talking about.
‐You know what? Everyone just‐‐
So the Rabbit could be
his wife, and he wouldn't know.
You know‐‐okay, just
stop it. Stop it.
Okay, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Margaret‐‐
don't applaud for him.
Don't‐‐no.
Don't applaud for him.
No more Mr. Not So Good
At This Game Guy, all right?
So who do you think it is, Ken?
- ‐Yeah, who do you think it is?
- Okay, I think
it's an '80s boy band.
I think it could be, like,
someone from NKOTB, maybe.
Maybe your hubby.
You think this is
Donnie Wahlberg?
I mean,
it could be Donnie.
Maybe it is my husband.
You know what I think?
I think it's Joey McIntyre,
who eats a lot of pizzas,
has been
to the Magic Castle.
All right?
That's who I think this is.
We've had country clues
with him, remember?
Zac Brown is also a musician.
I don't know if Zac Brown can
do the Roger Rabbit
‐like that, but...
‐
I mean, I wouldn't hire you
for my son's birthday party,
but I think you did
a magnificent job tonight.
He definitely did.
Ladies and gentlemen, Rabbit.
Our panel
thought one
of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
Who do you think it is?
Rabbit, your fate
will be decided
at the end of the show,
after the Unicorn, the Alien,
and the Lion take the stage.
And later, a big vote
and someone famous is going
to take it off,
only on FOX.
Feeling a little stressed out.
A little stressed out.
Little bit.
I'm embarrassed for last week.
- ‐'Cause...
- Let me know when
to put the mask on.
I was very wrong.
I gotta figure this out.
I'm so relieved.
I didn't pass out, and I threw
off the panel again.
My tricks are working.
♪ Who is that? ♪

We are back on
The Masked Singer,
where every show ends with
something very revealing.
Now, last time,
our panel was guessing
this unique performer
was everybody
from Gabby Douglas
to Denise Richards
to Mary Lou Retton.
So let's check out
this video to see
if we get any more bright ideas
about who's behind the mask
of the Unicorn.
When I first floated
onto the stage
four weeks ago,
I was terrified.
Sing it, girl!
Performing
in front of people
has always been
my biggest fear.
Whoa!
But the amazing
support of the panel...
I think your performance
was magical.
I almost pooped a rainbow.
And all the love
from the crowd...
has made me feel
like I'm in heaven.
Throughout this
magical journey,
I've been able to craft
a new identity.
‐Crafts.
‐Okay, she's crafty.
For years,
I hid behind
a different kind of mask
of my own making:
low self‐esteem.
But here, I've been able
to live vicariously
through the Unicorn.
Again, there's another piano.
And I've learned
to use my voice
with the confidence I always
dreamed of having.
Now I could do cartwheels,
I'm so happy.
Cartwheels.
Tonight, I don't care
what anyone thinks.
I love who I am,
and I'm proud of the hills
where I come from.
Beverly Hills motif again.
I think she lives in the Hills.
What's her name?
Kristin Cavallari, yeah.
That's a good one.
That was smart.
Well, you know what?
I'm not just this
- ‐dumb, sexy face, Robin.
- Well...
I have a body, too.

Come on over here,
amazing Unicorn.
I've noticed
throughout the weeks
that you're really kind of
growing into your alter ego.
You seemed a little meek
and shy
and now you feel more confident
and it was an amazing job.
This is the happiest
I've seen you perform,
and I haven't even
seen your face.
And again, I feel like
this show
is more than a competition
for you.
This is therapy for you,
and honestly, you have
a breakthrough,
and that's tonight.
Good job.
And now it's time
for the Unicorn
to reveal something meaningful.
Security!
Reveal the revealing item.

Can't wait to see what this is.
Get your
binoculars out.
Ken, let's do this.
Let's do
some investigating.
It is...
‐Ooh.

From the 1900s.
That's a‐‐that's a big iPad.
A typewriter.
Unicorn.
Tell us something about
your revealing item.
‐A magician!
‐You know what,
- ‐enough with the magic.
- A magician!
These first two clues
are magic now.
It's all magic,
and I think these are
red herrings.
Typewriter doesn't
mean anything.
It could just mean‐‐
I‐‐I don't want to be that guy,
but maybe she's old.
I'm just saying,
‐you know?
‐
Maybe she's old
and she loves to type.
I'm not saying‐‐no,
you're great.
You're great. Not you.
Hypothetically you.
Please.
Believe it or not,
Unicorn,
you've given us many clues.
The one that you just
brought out
kinda confirmed who I think
you are.
I think you're definitely
a writer,
but that's maybe not
your first gift.
I think you also,
um, make crafts.
Maybe, like, a younger
Martha Stewart,
which is why you're so crafty.
I think it's Lauren Conrad.
But we also heard,
again, cartwheels.
And I don't know,
was Lauren Conrad known
for any kind of athleticism?
What about Tori Spelling?
What about, like, all the‐‐
all the Beverly Hills stuff?
Well, that's hills, she was on
a show called The Hills.
- A‐ha.
- I don't think of Lauren
‐Conrad, I mean‐‐
NICOLE: I'm still
going off of the whole
Denise Richards vibe,
because she said she lost
her sheen.
Yes.
There's a lot of dimensions
to that Unicorn.
I think it's
very courageous that you
just did what‐‐what you did,
‐Absolutely.
because I loved your energy
and your spirit
behind it. You had
really good attitude behind it.
It sounds like you guys
are definitely
onto something, and we were on
to this performance. You guys,
keep it going for the Unicorn.
Good job. Great job.
Thank you.
Head on back to the lair
to await your fate, Unicorn.
Unicorn kisses to you too.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask,
and if the Unicorn loses
tonight's vote,
we could find out
if they're right.
Hey, you guys, who's that
other one
‐that got all the stuff?
‐Heidi Montag.
‐Yes!
‐Heidi Montag.
‐Yeah.
‐No. No, no, no, no.

at the video
for the Alien.
Being in
this competition
has been such
an incredible experience.
I've spent my entire life
under a microscope,
poked and prodded at,
and now, for the first time,
I'm unknown.
No one talks to me or sees me.
I'm finally getting
some peace and quiet,

like home,
and I feel at home
on the stage.
I want all the panel
to feel that too,
so it's time for me to stop
being all sugar and spice.
Ticktock, the twister
is coming.
‐Ticktock.
‐Ticktock. Kesha.
Kesha.
You don't think
I'm a professional singer?
Then it's time for me
to let out my roar.

Good job.
‐Great job.
‐Gorgeous.
Ladies and gentlemen,
keep it going for the Lion!
Lion! Lion! Lion! Lion!
I like what you're doing
right there.
Like I said, before,
I thought it was Beyoncé,
but it was definitely fierce,
so I don't know
what's going on.
Nicole, what struck you
about the Lion's performance
this week?
I am shocked,
‐'cause...she can sing.
‐
- ‐Can definitely sing.
- ‐
And then her vibrato,
I felt like, I heard...
Yeah, yeah, I felt‐‐
it sounded familiar.
‐I felt like I know this voice.
‐Yeah.
The great thing
about you
that a lot of singers know is,
sometimes you're supposed
to sing strong
to compete with the music,
and sometimes
the small, detailed subtleties
is what really makes you
a great singer,
and that's what I noticed,
that you knew
when to be strong,
you knew when to be soft,
so I was very impressed.
Very impressed.
Well, she's definitely a woman
that can't be tamed.
I'll tell you that.
There was a clue
with "TiK ToK".
And that's a Kesha song.
And so maybe she collaborated
with Kesha at some point?
Which leads me to nothing,
because...
I can't think of anyone
that did collaborate
with Kesha,
but I know
that that's a good clue.
Some of the hints
we've gotten before,
that she used to be
a part of a group‐‐
I'm still thinking
Michelle Williams
from Destiny's Child
as my first guess.
Hey, not after that voice.
Not after that voice.
She didn't sound
like any of the girls.
- ‐But speaking of clues...
- Yes.
Lion.
Let's see what you brought
from your den.
Security, reveal
the revealing item.
♪ ♪
All right.
Okay.
What is the...
A scrunchie?
It's a scrunchie.
Lion, please,
tell us about...
the scrunchie.
Nicole.
Why the look?
Are you picking up
‐on something?
‐I‐‐I got nothing.
I mean, she's got
a large mane,
so you would imagine
that might go with
her family,
and they've got a lot of hair.
And she needs a
scrunchie to put it all back.
And they need a scrunchie,
so it's a‐‐
Okay, okay, I see you.
I see you, Mel B.
- ‐Okay.
- Right, it could be.
I mean, remember the package
did say "I'm sugar and spice."
But she also said it‐‐
"my destiny."
This is something, guys.
I just have to point this out.
I am so sorry to interrupt.
- ‐Point it out, Ken.
- Two bodyguards
came in with
a freaking scrunchie?
This doesn't give us anything.
You're getting upset
again, Ken.
You're getting upset!
- ‐Calm down.
- I'm keeping my cool,
Nick Cannon.
You're getting upset.
You're out of order.
Look. I'm onto you.
I have these clues.
You're an amazing singer,
but it's not about
being special, okay?
Now, Lion, you're my prey.
I'm onto you,
I'm getting closer,
and by the end of the series,
I will know exactly
who you are,
but right now I got nothing.
- Everyone will.
- ‐
Absolutely.
Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time
for the amazing Lion.
Thank you.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
If Lion loses tonight,
we could find out
if they're right.
Right now,
everyone's performed,
and it's time
for the big vote, so
I'd like to ask three
of your closest friends,
whose real names
we do not know at all,
back onstage.
Let's welcome back
the Rabbit!
Yeah, Rabbit!
Whoo!
Still in character.
The Unicorn!
Whoo!
I wanna know
who the Unicorn is.
And the Alien.
Go, girl!
Audience and panel.
The time is now
to get your vote on.
Vote for your favorite.
The celebrity
with the least votes
will be unmasked and sent home
at the end of the night.
And all of you out there,
tell us about your favorites
as well,
and don't forget to use
that hashtag,
#TheMaskedSinger.
Who's behind the mask?
And who's about
to take it all off‐‐
well, not all, just the mask.
The votes are in.
Tonight's unmasked singer
is...
The votes are in,
and tonight's unmasked singer
is...
the Unicorn.
Unicorn.
Let's hear it.
Let's hear it.
She is amazing.
The rest of our characters,
say your goodbyes
to the Unicorn.
She tried so hard.
And head back to the lair.
- ‐Unicorn!
- Unicorn...
- ‐Unicorn!
- Head back over this way,
‐please.
‐We love you!
We love you.
Aw, we love you,
Unicorn.
We saw your growth.
We saw your journey.
It was outstanding.
Now we're gonna get
to see your face.
‐Whoo!
‐Show us your face!
Show us your face!
But...before
the Unicorn takes it off,
gang,
who do you guys
really think this is?
This one, guys, has me stumped.
Right?
I think this has been
the toughest for all of us.
Why don't you start?
- ‐Definitely.
- Well, I wanted
to ask once again,
can you
show us the heels,
the size of the heels?
I just
wanna know how tall she is.
Okay, that's helpful.
Okay, thank you.
Were you really
looking at the heels?
What is up with you
and the latex and the heels?
No, 'cause, I‐‐
'cause, no,
'cause we've been going
on this gymnastic,
you know, thing...
‐Right, right.
And then, I'm gonna take
everything I know.
I don't really know,
a lot about this person,
but I'm a big fan.
So I'm gonna go
with Gabby Douglas,
the, Olympic medalist.
‐Wow.
‐
Why not?
- All right.
- I like her.
No, I'm gonna go
with the secret little clue
that I got,
which was The Hills.
Um, Lauren Conrad.
That's who I feel.
I'm going with it
and I'm sticking with it.
Okay. That's a good one.
Crafty. Writer.
What do you think,
Nicole?
Um...
I was thinking Denise Richards.
Going off
of the, sheen.
Lost their sheen,
I remember that.
Ken, you look very upset.
Well, I'm just confused.
He's scared, I think.
And also,
just props out
to the Unicorn
for, like, an amazing journey.
- ‐Yeah.
- Wonderful.
And so I'm a little‐‐
little torn too, because
I just think, you know,
out of all of them, like,
emotionally, like, there was
a sentimental favorite,
you know, that is the Unicorn,
so I give a shout‐out.
But I‐‐I do think,
I've been thinking
Tori Spelling this whole time.
‐Yeah.
‐Grew up, like, Beverly Hills,
famous parents,
and, like, just kind of
the comeback,
been through a lot, so, um...
Could you be making
sense right now?
‐Maybe.
‐
Finally, just in time
for the end of the episode.
‐It's his comeback.
‐Maybe.
From Margaret.
Forget about Margaret. Just
stop mentioning Margaret Cho.
It's his comeback.
Okay, panel.
You've made
your final guesses.
Now let's see if any of you
were right.
All right,
the moment has come.
We all need to know.
Unicorn.
My gosh, I'm so excited.
I'm so nervous!
Show us all
who's behind the mask.
Take it off!
Take it off!
Take it off!
Take it off!
Lauren Conrad!
‐Tori Spelling!
‐Need some help?
- ‐Who is it?
- Take it off!
‐My God! My God!
‐Hold on, hold on‐‐
All right!
Ladies and gentlemen!
It's Tori Spelling!
You were right, Ken!
You were right!
Redemption!
Ken got it right!
You actually got
something right!
I'm never right!
You got something right!
Actress,
best‐selling author,
and TV icon!
No way!
- Tori Spelling!
- No way!
- Whoo!
- Aw.
My goodness.
I had no idea.
First of all...
Ken was right.
My goodness!
Redemption.
Last week you were
totally off, and this week...
This is the only time
I've ever done anything right
in my life.
‐Whoo!
‐Ever.
And I‐‐And I meant every word,
what I said.
You were
my sentimental favorite.
I love you so much.
And you had the most heart
being here tonight, and I...
you just‐‐please.
Tori Spelling.
You did a great job.
Amazing.
And I'm just happy
it's not Margaret Cho.
I'm just so happy.
You know.
Love you.
You did it, Ken.
Tori, not only
have we been able
to witness your journey,
but we witnessed your journey
on this show,
and you're emotional now.
Can you please tell us
what made you
muster up the courage
to even do this show
and be here with us tonight?
This right now,
performing
in front of people,
is my biggest fear in life.
Aww.
‐Um...
‐Well, you did an amazing job.
‐You did an amazing job.
Whoo!
I always‐‐I always
wanted to sing,
and I love singing.
When I was little, someone
told me I was tone deaf,
and it stayed with me
my whole life.
And, um, I love
singing with my kids,
and I wanted them to know
that they could be whatever
they want to be,
and so I did this show.
‐So sweet.
‐Aw.
- ‐So sweet.
- ‐
I'm sad it took me
this long in life
to feel confident
and feel like
I could do something like this,
but I'm glad The Masked Singer
brought it out in me.
Way to face your fears.
Can I ask you what
the typewriter meant?
Is that‐‐you also wrote books?
Is that why?
That's true, but it wasn't.
It's actually
my dad's typewriter,
‐and...
‐I knew it. I felt that.
‐My God.
‐He actually‐‐
that's how he did it.
It's old school.
But he started
every one of his scripts
throughout forever on that,
and then I got it
when he passed.
So that was the actual
family heirloom.
That was Aaron Spelling's
typewriter,
who wrote several of our
favorite television shows.
So ladies and gentlemen,
once again,
a round of applause
and well‐deserved cheer
for Tori Spelling.
I can't believe you got it,
Ken!
I'm so happy for you.
And before we go,
to sing for us once again,
Tori Spelling!

I bounce here, I hop there,
but then I'm gone.
The Rabbit's been so dodgy
with the truth.
He's disappearing!

You were busting out
all the old moves.
It was so fly.
You're probably
my favorite performer
out of everyone
in the entire show.
Wow.
Okay. Here's the real.
I mean, we‐‐this is
our fifth episode right now.
I was a little bit‐‐
I won't lie to you.
I'm not even kidding.
I was a little bit
irritated with you last week.
You're doing this
annoying Method actor thing.
I was getting really annoyed.
I was not
in the mood to watch you,
and you did deliver, I think,
the best performance so far
on the series.
I can't deny.
I loved you.
I have to begrudgingly admit.
Thank you.
Also, I want to say this.
I noticed that with the mixtape
on the background,
and your choice in song,
- and those dance moves...
- Yeah.
‐Those look very familiar.
‐
‐Very boy band‐ish.
‐Yep.
‐I just want to say, yep.
‐Yes.
All right, well,
we all loved
the Rabbit's performance,
but before we go
down that rabbit hole
any further,
we've asked each
of our singers tonight
to bring an item.
- ‐
- A little show and tell
that reveals something
about who they really are.
Security?
Reveal the revealing item.
Yeah.
Bring it out.
‐Let it be a good clue.
‐Yeah.
Let this‐‐can this clue
help us?
What is it?
We're about to find out.
A magician kit.
Come on.
What'd I tell y'all?
- ‐You know what?
- Rabbit.
You have to tell us something
about what you're revealing.
What, what's going on here?
It's another way I like
to impress an audience.
- Another way.
- So technically,
I am right.
He is part magician.
Yeah, Nicole thinks everyone's
a magician,
and now he's got this.
It doesn't really help us.
Every week I think I have
Rabbit figured out,
and then they offer
some type of clue
that doesn't help at all.
- So...
- Hey, Rabbit,
twitch if you're a magician.
‐
‐
- What?
- He's tricking us.
You know what, you know?
I don't know.
It's just part
of his thing.
I think you are
way too talented musically
that this magic stuff?
Hobby, but not the real thing.
But I think it could be
the real thing.
I mean, you don't‐‐
I‐I'm‐‐this show
is messing with my mind.
As a doctor, which‐‐
I'm the only one here
as a doctor,
I'm telling you, I've been told
when looking for disease‐‐
That's why you couldn't figure
out Margaret Cho on your...
You know what,
okay, enough about‐‐
okay, what she‐‐Margaret Cho.
All right,
is everyone‐‐
has everyone had their‐‐
We're all thinking it here.
All right, everyone,
here's the deal last week.
The person that was revealed
is Margaret Cho,
who played my sister
on Dr. Ken.
I had no idea who it was.
‐He's a little stressed out.
‐He doesn't know what he's
‐talking about.
‐You know what? Everyone just‐‐
So the Rabbit could be
his wife, and he wouldn't know.
You know‐‐okay, just
stop it. Stop it.
Okay, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Margaret‐‐
don't applaud for him.
Don't‐‐no.
Don't applaud for him.
No more Mr. Not So Good
At This Game Guy, all right?
So who do you think it is, Ken?
- ‐Yeah, who do you think it is?
- Okay, I think
it's an '80s boy band.
I think it could be, like,
someone from NKOTB, maybe.
Maybe your hubby.
You think this is
Donnie Wahlberg?
I mean,
it could be Donnie.
Maybe it is my husband.
You know what I think?
I think it's Joey McIntyre,
who eats a lot of pizzas,
has been
to the Magic Castle.
All right?
That's who I think this is.
We've had country clues
with him, remember?
Zac Brown is also a musician.
I don't know if Zac Brown can
do the Roger Rabbit
‐like that, but...
‐
I mean, I wouldn't hire you
for my son's birthday party,
but I think you did
a magnificent job tonight.
He definitely did.
Ladies and gentlemen, Rabbit.
Our panel
thought one
of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
Who do you think it is?
Rabbit, your fate
will be decided
at the end of the show,
after the Unicorn, the Alien,
and the Lion take the stage.
And later, a big vote
and someone famous is going
to take it off,
only on FOX.
Feeling a little stressed out.
A little stressed out.
Little bit.
I'm embarrassed for last week.
- ‐'Cause...
- Let me know when
to put the mask on.
I was very wrong.
I gotta figure this out.
I'm so relieved.
I didn't pass out, and I threw
off the panel again.
My tricks are working.
♪ Who is that? ♪
♪ ♪
We are back on
The Masked Singer,
where every show ends with
something very revealing.
Now, last time,
our panel was guessing
this unique performer
was everybody
from Gabby Douglas
to Denise Richards
to Mary Lou Retton.
So let's check out
this video to see
if we get any more bright ideas
about who's behind the mask
of the Unicorn.
When I first floated
onto the stage
four weeks ago,
I was terrified.
Sing it, girl!
Performing
in front of people
has always been
my biggest fear.
Whoa!
But the amazing
support of the panel...
I think your performance
was magical.
I almost pooped a rainbow.
And all the love
from the crowd...
has made me feel
like I'm in heaven.
Throughout this
magical journey,
I've been able to craft
a new identity.
‐Crafts.
‐Okay, she's crafty.
For years,
I hid behind
a different kind of mask
of my own making:
low self‐esteem.
But here, I've been able
to live vicariously
through the Unicorn.
Again, there's another piano.
And I've learned
to use my voice
with the confidence I always
dreamed of having.
Now I could do cartwheels,
I'm so happy.
Cartwheels.
Tonight, I don't care
what anyone thinks.
I love who I am,
and I'm proud of the hills
where I come from.
Beverly Hills motif again.
I think she lives in the Hills.

Come on over here,
amazing Unicorn.
I've noticed
throughout the weeks
that you're really kind of
growing into your alter ego.
You seemed a little meek
and shy
and now you feel more confident
and it was an amazing job.
This is the happiest
I've seen you perform,
and I haven't even
seen your face.
And again, I feel like
this show
is more than a competition
for you.
This is therapy for you,
and honestly, you have
a breakthrough,
and that's tonight.
Good job.
And now it's time
for the Unicorn
to reveal something meaningful.
Security!
Reveal the revealing item.
♪ ♪
Can't wait to see what this is.
Get your
binoculars out.
Ken, let's do this.
Let's do
some investigating.
It is...
‐Ooh.
‐
From the 1900s.
That's a‐‐that's a big iPad.
A typewriter.
Unicorn.
Tell us something about
your revealing item.
‐A magician!
‐You know what,
- ‐enough with the magic.
- A magician!
These first two clues
are magic now.
It's all magic,
and I think these are
red herrings.
Typewriter doesn't
mean anything.
It could just mean‐‐
I‐‐I don't want to be that guy,
but maybe she's old.
I'm just saying,
‐you know?
‐
Maybe she's old
and she loves to type.
I'm not saying‐‐no,
you're great.
You're great. Not you.
Hypothetically you.
Please.
Believe it or not,
Unicorn,
you've given us many clues.
The one that you just
brought out
kinda confirmed who I think
you are.
I think you're definitely
a writer,
but that's maybe not
your first gift.
I think you also,
um, make crafts.
Maybe, like, a younger
Martha Stewart,
which is why you're so crafty.
I think it's Lauren Conrad.
But we also heard,
again, cartwheels.
And I don't know,
was Lauren Conrad known
for any kind of athleticism?
What about Tori Spelling?
What about, like, all the‐‐
all the Beverly Hills stuff?
Well, that's hills, she was on
a show called The Hills.
- A‐ha.
- I don't think of Lauren
‐Conrad, I mean‐‐
NICOLE: I'm still
going off of the whole
Denise Richards vibe,
because she said she lost
her sheen.
Yes.
There's a lot of dimensions
to that Unicorn.
I think it's
very courageous that you
just did what‐‐what you did,
‐Absolutely.
because I loved your energy
and your spirit
behind it. You had
really good attitude behind it.
It sounds like you guys
are definitely
onto something, and we were on
to this performance. You guys,
keep it going for the Unicorn.
Good job. Great job.
Thank you.
Head on back to the lair
to await your fate, Unicorn.
Unicorn kisses to you too.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask,

tonight's vote,

Hey, you guys, who's that
other one

‐Heidi Montag.
‐Yes!
‐Heidi Montag.
‐Yeah.

at the video
for the Alien.
Being in
this competition
has been such
an incredible experience.
I've spent my entire life
under a microscope,
poked and prodded at,
and now, for the first time,
I'm unknown.
No one talks to me or sees me.
I'm finally getting
some peace and quiet,
and I love it.
Growing up, I always craved
the simple life.
The Simple Life.
Is that Paris Hilton?
No, it's Nicole Richie.
Or Sofia Richie.
Ooh, that's hot.
That's hot.
Paris Hilton used to say that.
But it seems,
being born
into a famous family,
I was destined

this performance was

there was growth to it,

I don't know
who I am sometimes.

I know who's happy
up under this alien outfit.
Nicole.
How happy were you
with the Alien's performance?
I was‐‐that performance
made me
really happy,

'Cause I thought I knew
who it was,

she coming out
singing tonight."

Nicole Richie,

a true singer.
I think so.

is right now.
Were you arrested for doing
something with the snake?

Kinda like this next one.
We all love this lioness,
but let's look very closely
for any clues
we might have missed
about the Lion.
The last time
I performed,
Nicole wasn't impressed
by my voice.
I don't necessarily think that
she's a professional singer.

‐You don't think she is?
I feel more‐‐I don't think so.
And I'm upset about it,
because I feel like being
onstage is my destiny.
Destiny. Destiny's Child.
When I sing, I try
to open up my whole heart,
so I can be a model of courage
and vulnerability.
Model. Maybe she's a model.
Just like the Lion
in my favorite movie,
The Wizard of Oz.
They say there's no place
like home,
and I feel at home
on the stage.
I want all the panel
to feel that too,

being all sugar and spice.

right there.
Like I said, before,
I thought it was Beyoncé,
but it was definitely fierce,
so I don't know
what's going on.
Nicole, what struck you
about the Lion's performance
this week?
I am shocked,
‐'cause...she can sing.
‐
- ‐Can definitely sing.

And then her vibrato,
I felt like, I heard...
Yeah, yeah, I felt‐‐
it sounded familiar.
‐I felt like I know this voice.
‐Yeah.
The great thing
about you
that a lot of singers know is,
sometimes you're supposed
to sing strong
to compete with the music,
and sometimes
the small, detailed subtleties
is what really makes you
a great singer,
and that's what I noticed,
that you knew
when to be strong,
you knew when to be soft,
so I was very impressed.
Very impressed.
Well, she's definitely a woman
that can't be tamed.
I'll tell you that.
There was a clue
with "TiK ToK".
And that's a Kesha song.
And so maybe she collaborated
with Kesha at some point?
Which leads me to nothing,
because...
I can't think of anyone
that did collaborate
with Kesha,
but I know
that that's a good clue.
Some of the hints
we've gotten before,
that she used to be
a part of a group‐‐
I'm still thinking
Michelle Williams
from Destiny's Child
as my first guess.

looking at the heels?
What is up with you
and the latex and the heels?
No, 'cause, I‐‐
'cause, no,
'cause we've been going
on this gymnastic,
you know, thing...
‐Right, right.
And then, I'm gonna take
everything I know.
I don't really know,
a lot about this person,
but I'm a big fan.
So I'm gonna go
with Gabby Douglas,
the, Olympic medalist.
‐Wow.

Why not?
- All right.
- I like her.
No, I'm gonna go
with the secret little clue
that I got,
which was The Hills.
Um, Lauren Conrad.
That's who I feel.
I'm going with it
and I'm sticking with it.
Okay. That's a good one.
Crafty. Writer.
What do you think,
Nicole?
Um...
I was thinking Denise Richards.
Going off
of the, sheen.
Lost their sheen,
I remember that.
Ken, you look very upset.
Well, I'm just confused.
He's scared, I think.
And also,
just props out
to the Unicorn
for, like, an amazing journey.

- Wonderful.
And so I'm a little‐‐
little torn too, because
I just think, you know,
out of all of them, like,
emotionally, like, there was
a sentimental favorite,
you know, that is the Unicorn,
so I give a shout‐out.
But I‐‐I do think,
I've been thinking
Tori Spelling this whole time.
‐Yeah.
‐Grew up, like, Beverly Hills,
famous parents,
and, like, just kind of
the comeback,
been through a lot, so, um...
Could you be making
sense right now?
‐Maybe.

Finally, just in time
for the end of the episode.
‐It's his comeback.
‐Maybe.
From Margaret.
Forget about Margaret. Just
stop mentioning Margaret Cho.
It's his comeback.

You've made
your final guesses.
Now let's see if any of you
were right.

the moment has come.

Amazing.
And I'm just happy
it's not Margaret Cho.
I'm just so happy.
You know.
Love you.
You did it, Ken.
Tori, not only
have we been able
to witness your journey,
but we witnessed your journey
on this show,
and you're emotional now.
Can you please tell us
what made you
muster up the courage
to even do this show
and be here with us tonight?
This right now,
performing
in front of people,
is my biggest fear in life.
Aww.
‐Um...
‐Well, you did an amazing job.
‐You did an amazing job.
Whoo!
I always‐‐I always
wanted to sing,
and I love singing.
When I was little, someone
told me I was tone deaf,
and it stayed with me
my whole life.
And, um, I love
singing with my kids,
and I wanted them to know
that they could be whatever
they want to be,
and so I did this show.
‐So sweet.
‐Aw.
- ‐So sweet.
- ‐
I'm sad it took me
this long in life
to feel confident
and feel like
I could do something like this,
but I'm glad The Masked Singer
brought it out in me.
Way to face your fears.
Can I ask you what
the typewriter meant?
Is that‐‐you also wrote books?
Is that why?
That's true, but it wasn't.
It's actually
my dad's typewriter,
‐and...
‐I knew it. I felt that.
‐My God.
‐He actually‐‐
that's how he did it.
It's old school.
But he started
every one of his scripts
throughout forever on that,
and then I got it
when he passed.
So that was the actual
family heirloom.
That was Aaron Spelling's
typewriter,
who wrote several of our
favorite television shows.
So ladies and gentlemen,
once again,
a round of applause
and well‐deserved cheer
for Tori Spelling.
I can't believe you got it,
Ken!
I'm so happy for you.
And before we go,
to sing for us once again,
