The Masked Singer (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 7 - Triumph Over Masks - full transcript

Five celebrities perform; Triumph the Insult Comic Dog guest judges.

The Wild West
of singing shows is back,

and your favorite secret stars are
ready for the biggest showdown yet.

This town ain't big enough
for the five of us.

♪ Who is that? ♪

This is "The Masked Singer."


‐ Unbelievable!

Each week, undercover celebrities
square off to keep their mask on.

‐ ♪ Yeah, yeah ♪ ‐ I don't think
there's ever been anything like that

in television history.

But only the strong survive

because the singer
with the least votes



must expose
their true identity.

Paul Shaffer!
Johnny Weir!

Dr. Drew,
ladies and gentlemen.

Last week, two famous faces
were revealed.

Sherri Shepherd!

‐ My God! It's Raven‐Symoné!


‐ Tonight...
‐ ♪ Every little step I take ♪

...five of our remaining
singers ride into town.

Come on!

And we welcome our first
canine clue sniffer,

Triumph,
the Insult Comic Dog.

It's adorable watching
Jenny and Robin

figure out clues
like Shaggy and Scooby Doo.

‐ ♪ Who is that? ♪
‐ Get ready, America...



Rottweiler, I never thought
I'd see you again

after walking out
on your mother.

‐ ...for the wildest...
‐ Nicki Minaj?

‐ ...guessing game...
‐ The Olsen twins?

‐ ...in the West. ‐ You look like
the last thing Elton John sees

right before the Ambien
kicks in.

♪ Who are you? ♪

‐ Whoo!
‐ ♪ Who, who, who, who ♪

♪ I really wanna know ♪

♪ Who? ♪

♪ Who are you? ♪

‐ Yeah!
‐ Yeah, Slick Cannon.

Unless this is a mask,
I'm Nick Cannon.

And unless I'm dreaming up
all this fun and all these puns,

this is "The Masked Singer."

We have a very big show
for you tonight.

After weeks of dog‐eat‐dog
competition,

we're only four episodes away
from the semifinals,

and we're down to our strongest
singers and performers.

Tonight, five of our leading
undercover stars

are here to showcase
who they really are,

all while still hiding
who they really are.

But, by the end of tonight,
only four of them

will get to move on
and sing another day.

Our very vocal studio audience
along with the help

of the smartest and punniest
panel in TV history

will make that call.

And just when you thought this
show couldn't get any weirder,

here to bring the puppy love is our
first ever canine celebrity detective,

a pug‐nacious comedian

who put the bite in Conan
O'Brien's show for dog years,

make some noise for Triumph,
the Insult Comic Dog.


‐ Hi, everyone! Yes!

Triumph, as a fan,
I hesitate to ask you this,

but do you have any nice things to say
about our show or are you just here‐‐

Are you kidding?
This show is incredible.

- ‐ What a crowd?
- ‐

Got an amazing crowd,

and that's just Jenny
and Nicole's makeup team.

‐ Whoo!
‐ And I got Nick Cannon.

How could I say anything bad
about Nick Cannon?

‐ Yeah. ‐ This is the biggest
man in show business

since Ryan Seacrest
started saying no to things.

I'll take it, I'll take it,
I'll take it.

All right, it's time to give
Triumph and our detectives

something more meaty
to chew on.

Up first, let's all throw
ourselves a big clue bone

about the Fox.

♪ Hey, look, ma,
I made it ♪

The love I received
these past few weeks...

‐ Amazing voice. ‐ ...has let a
whole new side of myself shine.

‐ ♪ Made it ♪ ‐ You're like the
LeBron James of performers.

‐ Foxhole Hotel. ‐ Jamie Foxx
has a radio station Foxhole.

I'm always dreaming about
entertaining people on tour.

In my 30‐year career,

I've accomplished many things
in pursuit of this dream.

30‐year career?
Are those his songs?

I've won multiple awards
and become a household name.

But I'm mostly known for being a
part of a pack of talented fellows,

not my voice alone.

‐ Pack of fellows?
‐ Um, Boyz II Men?

So tonight with this mask on,

I'm going to prove that
I'm a superhero all by myself

because this Fox
is one in a million.

I'm gonna guess David Hasselhoff just
because he's eventually gonna do this show.

Whoo! Hey!

It's the foxiest.

♪ I can't sleep at night ♪

♪ I toss and turn
listening for the telephone ♪

♪ But when I get your call
I'm all choked up ♪

♪ Can't believe you called
my home ♪

♪ And as a matter of fact
it blows my mind ♪

♪ You would even talk
to me ♪

♪ Because a girl like you
is like a dream come true ♪

♪ My real life fantasy ♪

♪ No matter what your friends
try to tell you ♪

♪ People need to fall
in love ♪

♪ And we can be together
any kind of weather ♪

♪ It's like that
it's like that ♪

♪ Every little step
I take ♪

♪ You will be there ♪

♪ Every little step
I make ♪

♪ We'll be together ♪

♪ Every little step
I take ♪

♪ You will be there
hey ♪

♪ Every little step
I make ♪

‐ Y'all ready?
‐ ♪ We'll be together ♪


‐ My God!

♪ No matter what your friends
try to tell you ♪

♪ People need to fall
in love ♪

♪ And we will be together ♪

♪ Any kind of weather ♪

♪ It's like that
it's like that girl ♪

♪ Every little step
I take ♪

‐ ♪ You will be there ♪
‐ ♪ Every little step ♪

♪ Every little step I make ♪

♪ We'll be together ♪

♪ Every little step
I take ♪

‐ My God!
‐ Whoa!

‐ My God!
‐ Come on!

Wow! Now that's the way you kick
off a show, ladies and gentlemen.

Whoo!

This is not a show
about creating stars,

this is a show
about celebrating stars,

and honestly, I feel you're
the biggest star of all.

- ‐ Amazing.
- Wow.

Now, Triumph,
you're our guest panelist.

What did you think
about the Fox?

My goodness, you know,
I was very impressed,

and I have to say that takes
a lot because, you know,

dogs and foxes
are natural enemies,

much like Robin Thicke and any
woman born before the year 2000.

God.

That sounds like a compliment.
I'm rocking with you, Triumph.

Now, Mr. Robin Thicke, were
you picking up on any clues?

Obviously he's been doing this
a long time.

You can see in the performance,
and the song choice

and the dance moves
are old school

and from my generation, so I still
think from the way her performs

and his physical presence, I still think
it's AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys.

Wow. You never know,
you never know.

Listen, you know the people have
talked about 30 years in a boy band,

they're missing one important
clue, which is "fox,"

and the possibility that it
could be a FOX personality.

Nobody's mentioned Lou Dobbs.

FOX Business Network
anchorman.

My gosh. You are hilarious.
‐ He was in a boy band in 1983.

Let's focus.
Let's reel it back in.

In the clue package he said, "despite
having more than one award."

Sterling K. Brown has won a ton
of awards for "This Is Us."

He's also a superhero
in "Black Panther,"

and he keeps making superhero
references week after week.


‐ But you know what?

After today's performance,
he makes me smile,

he makes me so happy,
you reminded me of Jamie Foxx.

You really, really did
up there, so...

The Fox, Jamie Foxx,
on FOX, "Shazam."

‐ I mean, makes sense to me. ‐ Yeah, but I don't
think Jamie can stand still for that long.

- ‐ For that long?
- Yeah. No way.

All right, well, we gonna get
one more clue from the Fox.

He's brought something
from home to help us out.

Men in black, please reveal
the revealing item.

Get ready to be
more confused.

‐ The reveal arrival.
‐ It's gotta be Katie Holmes.

You guys ready?

A clue about the Fox.

- A boom box?
- See? Old school.

‐ A boom box?
‐ Old school. I had one of them.

Didn't we all have one
of those?

As a young pup,
this gift from my father

helped me find my voice
and a few others.

‐ So he was in a group.
‐ And now he wants to go solo.

Could be someone
from Boyz II Men.

- Yeah, I was thinking Boyz
II Men as well. - Boyz II Men?

You know what? Just on‐‐ just on
the real, just on the real...

‐ Keep it real, Ken.
‐ I'll keep it really real.

Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men
is an amazing singer

- ‐ and an underrated musician.
- He is.

‐ He can play guitar.
‐ He's amazing.

‐ He is a genius.
‐ It's a pretty good guess.

Clearly you guys are all
over the place.

Ladies and gentlemen, y'all
make some noise for the Fox.

Whoo!
‐ We are so stumped.

According to our panel,
one of these celebrities

might be behind the mask
of the Fox.

Who do you think it is?

Fox set the bar for all
the other masked singers.

‐ Yeah. ‐ Nobody's ever done a
singing dancing performance

that strong on this show
or come close to it.

Coming up, Hollywood's
craziest costume party continues.

Whoo!

I think this might be my most
logical guess of the season.

‐ No.
‐ And later...

‐ Take it off! ‐ ...an unmasking
you never saw coming.

‐ What?
‐ Take it off!

‐ My God.
‐ We've been played.

What do you think, Triumph? You're,
like, the first animal judge we've had.

I've got to say this show
is a tough one.

My God.
I can't with the leg.

I don't know which one. Is it the
leg or the arm? Is that the leg?

‐ It's whatever you want it to be.
‐ Is that your leg or arm?

Okay, all right.

‐ Okay, okay. ‐ I think it's
time for me to take Triumph

‐ for a walk, isn't it?
‐ Really?

It's kinda getting awkward,
guys.

It's getting a little awkward.

We're back
on "The Masked Singer,"

where the songs, puns,
and dog insults are flying.

Now, we're about to hear
from a great lady

who's become like family
to us.

It's clue time
for the Ladybug.

Every time I walk out
onto the stage,

I can feel
my confidence growing.

♪ It ain't my fault
that I'm out here making news ♪

You said you were nervous
last week.

This week,
you came to win.

♪ Baby ♪

And now that I've made it
this far,

I'm more empowered than ever

to celebrate who I am.

For years, I convinced myself
that I just wasn't good enough.

‐ Aww.
‐ I know, it's sad.

Whether in my career,
in my relationships,

or of course,
in my family...

‐ More family drama.
‐ No, Lindsay Lohan.

I actually do think
it's Lindsay Lohan.

I've let my insecurities
get in my way.

‐ She's doing makeup. ‐ But
becoming the Ladybug has shown me

it's really not
that complicated.

So watch out, because this young
bug is going all the way.

Second star to the right
and straight on till morning.

I'm showing off
my tough side tonight,

and I hope the panel L‐O‐V‐E
loves it.

L‐O‐V‐E.
Is that Ashlee Simpson's song?

I think so.

♪ Remember the words
you told me ♪

♪ Love me till
the day I die ♪

Ladybug! Ladybug!

Look at her!

Ladybug! Ladybug!

Wow! Amazing job.
Such great energy.

‐ That performance was spot on.
‐ Hey!

It was incredible. You are
so full of energy, you know?

And not the manufactured kind
like Dr. Ken here.

You were fantastic.

Yeah, I loved that you just came back stronger
and more confident than ever this week.

You really meant what you were
singing about,

and I connected with that.
Thank you.

Now, Triumph, what clues
were you picking up on?

My God. The clues are
so confusing, you know?

‐ They really are. I mean, I was
going off the body shape. ‐ I know.

I was going to guess Nicki Minaj
from the large booty, you see.

‐ No, that's a costume. That's a costume.
‐ That's not a costume.

I thought maybe could they fit
two people in the costume.

Is it the Olsen twins?

I mean, if you just gave me one sniff
in the butt, I would know who it was.

One sniff, I beg of you!

Nicole,
what you picking up on?

I've said Jamie Lynn Spears
before

‐ because there was talk about
coming from a famous family. ‐ Yes.

Having family drama,
and there was in the package,

she was doing makeup
on other people.

I know Jamie Lynn Spears does
makeup tutorials on YouTube,

so I'm still gonna go
with Jamie Lynn Spears.

- You never know.
- It's not a bad guess,

but to me, putting all the clues
together with the performance.

The professional
and personal, like, issues

of self esteem
and just kind of self doubt,

I still think, you know,
this may be Lindsay Lohan

because I feel sorry.
I know she doesn't like it.

‐ I'm sca‐‐ you know? ‐ You're
pissing off the Ladybug.

I know that person's upset.

She said,
"You need to cut it."

I think that was more like,
"I'm going to kill you."

So sorry. All right.
It's probably Bjork.

I have to be honest,
I agree with you, Ken.

Look at her go!

‐ She don't like that. ‐ But she
could be playing that, too.

I'm gonna explain
why I think they're all wrong.

One of the clues was that she was
born into a well‐known family.

So I've got the family drama,
raised by queens,

so to me,
all those put together,

I still think that screams
Paris Jackson.

Very good guess.

Now, men in black, please reveal
the revealing item.

What?

A golf cart all access.

In my youth,

I wasn't afraid to get
a little mud on my tires.

That's a really Southern accent. I
don't know if she's putting it on.

‐ That is Southern accent. ‐ I mean,
Jamie Lynn Spears, she's from Louisiana.

But you know what, though?
Neverland.

You had to drive around
in a golf cart.

So that doesn't help
at all, guys?

No.
No, but thank you.

Well, we definitely thank
the Ladybug

for such an outstanding
performance.

Our panel thought one of these
celebrities might be the Ladybug.

Tell us what you think and use
the hashtag #themaskedsinger.

Getting the Lindsay Lohan vibe.

You know what?
It could be.

'Cause you know why?
It looks like Lindsay's arms.

And she's over‐responding to no,
you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Welcome back.
This is "The Masked Singer."

Let's get back to
what's happening right now.

From the start, we've been struck by
the beauty of this next performer.

Let's look inside the
legendary soul of the Flower.

As a young bud,
I couldn't have imagined

I'd ever be a competitor
in something like this.

‐ ‐ You have an
unbelievable stratospheric range.

Being on stage
was always my dream, girls.

‐ "Dreamgirls." ‐ Jennifer
Holliday, Jennifer Hudson.

It's Eddie Murphy.

But I was shy
about showing my talent.

I'm still an introvert,
and on my days off,

I love when it's
so quiet.

Nothing makes me happier
than kicking off my shoes

and lying in rapture
in my own secret garden.

‐ "Rapture" and "secret garden."
‐ Are those songs?

But listen up, sweethearts,
when the spotlight calls,

this shy petal
knows how to bloom.

So tonight, I'm gonna throw
the panel off my scent.

Because nobody's gonna pick me out
of this competition, boo‐boo.

I will survive.

♪ Every time our eyes meet ♪

♪ This feeling inside me ♪

♪ Is almost more than
I can take ♪

♪ Ooh ♪

♪ Baby, when you touch me ♪

♪ I can feel how much
you love me ♪

♪ And it just blows me away ♪

Whoo! So beautiful.

♪ I never been this close ♪

♪ To anyone or anything ♪

Whoo!

Flower! Flower!

- ‐ Come on!
- Let's keep it going...

Flower! Flower!
‐ ...for the amazing Flower.

‐ Nicole. ‐ This week,
you were so captivating.

You have such a grace about you
and that twang in her voice.

‐ Yeah.
‐ Yeah.

I was living for it. We're living for you.
Thank you so much, Flower.

All right, Ken, are you
picking up on any clues

from the package
or from Flower's performance?

Yeah, you know, I've been
on the Bjork train for, like,

her last two performances
and to me,

this is clearly Icelandic
classic Bjork,

and I'll tell you why.

‐ No, it's not. It's‐‐ okay. ‐
Stay with me. Stay with me.

It said, "So quiet,"
in the package,

which is Bjork's biggest song,
so it's Bjork.

‐ No, no, no, Ken.
‐ Yeah? Yeah?

This is what Bjork looks like
on her driver's license.

This is regular,
everyday Bjork.

I don't know about that, but, I
mean, we know that she's a child prodigy.

We've been throwing around some of the
same names from the last few performances.

‐ There's Gloria Gaynor...
‐ Bjork.

...Bjork. That‐‐ you know,
those names usually go together.

When you get up into that range,
there's only a handful of singers

in the world
that can do that.

Thinking it might be
Patti LaBelle is my opinion.

It's not a bad opinion.

You know, I'm still caught up on the fact
that she'd never taken a voice lesson.

That was a clue we got
early on,

and for you to stand there
and sing like that,

whoo, good for you, girl.

The cooking and baking, I'm not
sure who that connects to,

but there's a play on words
with Anita Baker.

Yeah,
that's what I was thinking.

Yeah, maybe it's a play
on words.

‐ Again, it's that legendary... ‐ Yeah, you
feel like you've heard that voice before,

‐ for sure.
‐ ...strong voice.

This game is hard, man.

I'm gonna seriously‐‐ I'm gonna give
you half of my "Hangover" royalties

if you tell me
who you are.

‐ No.
‐ "Hangover 1," not 3.

Okay, all right, all right.
all right.

It doesn't work like that,
but the way it does work is

we want our Flower
to show us something

that you brought
from your home garden.

Men in black,
reveal the revealing item.

The clue.

It's gotta be something
from Bjork, Bjork, Bjork.

‐ From Bjork's house.
‐ You guys ready?

- Whoa, what is that?
- What is it?

A deck of cards.

It's not about the hand
you're dealt.

It's about the way
you play it, honey.


‐ You played it, girl.

‐ Honey. ‐ It's the way you play it.
That give you guys anything?

I think Jennifer Holliday makes a lot of
sense because she was on‐‐ wasn't she on

‐ "Showtime At the Apollo"? ‐
Robin: She might have been, yeah.

Maybe. We'll go with that.
That sounds good, Triumph.

‐ That's a legit good guess, Triumph.
That's amazing. ‐ Yes, I know my crap.

All I know is
there's a queen,

and she is a queen, so that's my
connection with a deck of cards.

Well, she definitely gave
a royal performance.

Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time...

‐ Yes.
‐ ...for our legendary Flower.

The panel was thinking
one of these celebrities

might be under
the Flower mask.

Who do you think it is?

‐ Coming up...
‐ Whoo!

♪ On my way ♪

If it wasn't for soup,

I'm not sure I would be
where I am at.

That's a hint?

And later,
show us who you are.

‐ No!
‐ I'm so mad at myself.

Triumph, without thinking about
it, who is your favorite so far?

I'm attracted to the Flower.
I can't help it.

Okay, yeah. I know, I know. Yes, yes.
That's a biological thing.

I know that Dr. Ken's here
to make sure

there's no sexual chemistry
on this show between anyone.

‐ Okay, okay. ‐ But right now, I'm sorry.
She's very attractive.

I mean, you know,
that's kind of a low blow.

I think I do have sexual chemistry
with everybody on every level.

‐ It's just not‐‐
‐ You do?

‐ I mean, I do. I mean, I just
think‐‐ ‐ It's just something

that you keep off camera?

‐ Yeah, I mean, I really‐‐
‐ All of it is off camera.

Okay.

Just‐‐ we'll just go into
the next clue package.

Welcome back
to "The Masked Singer,"

where for the first time ever
in music or television history

a dog is about to pass judgment
on a Tree.

This could get messy. But let's all try
to cook up some new clues about the Tree.

Getting this far
against so many great singers

has been one of the most gratifying
experiences I've ever had.

‐ ♪ Freedom ♪
‐ ♪ Freedom ♪

I didn't
think you were a trained singer.

I was obviously wrong.
You are captivating.

♪ Freedom ♪

♪ Think ♪

But I will say
the hardest part

of this whole funky thing
is learning to stand

on my own two purple stumps
for the first time.

‐ Playbill was blank.
‐ Broadway star.

I'm gonna tell you
I work really well with others.

‐ ‐ Did she win an
award for a kiss or something?

So when I put on this mask, it was like I'd
been beamed up into another dimension.

She was in a sci‐fi movie.

Well, I'm alone,
like the new girl at school.

Ooh, maybe I'll hang out with
those strangers with candy.

‐ "Strangers with candy," what does
that mean? ‐ Candy. Amy Sedaris.

Tonight, it's all about
showing the judges and myself

that there are
no more excuses,

and that this Tree
can stand tall.

Well, there was a
"Strangers With Candy" movie.

‐ Right, right. ‐ And Sarah
Jessica Parker was in that.

She can sing.
She was on Broadway.

Yep.
‐ Not bad, dog.

Whoo!

‐ Amazing!

Wow,
the Tree with the energy.

Tree! Tree! Tree!

Ken, talk to the Tree
about her performance, please.

I feel like your performance and your
confidence grows every single week,

and it's just a testament
to your talent.

Amazing job.
So good, so good.

Triumph, have you ever seen
a Tree perform like this?

Not one that looks like

the last thing
Elton John sees

right before the Ambien
kicks in.

But it's great. It's a compliment.
It's a compliment!

Miss Scherzinger,
you picking up on any clues?

In the past,
I have said Amy Sedaris.

And in the clue package there was a
"Strangers With Candy" reference.

Amy Sedaris.
Christmas movies.

She was the secretary
in "Elf."

I think it's Amy Sedaris.

I thought about that,
and based off the clues,

the playbill helped us out
'cause it made me feel like,

okay, you are an actress.
This is a funny person.

Someone from "SNL"
is kind of popping out.

Is it Molly Shannon?
Is it Cheri Oteri?

I didn't even think of it. That's a
great guess. That's a great guess.

Look, I'm just ready to spread
my logic gospel on you guys.

I have it all figured out.
I know exactly who this is.

‐ Please.
‐ Okay, think about this.

Lauren Graham was on
"Guys and Dolls" on Broadway.

And guess what?
Little known fact.

She was in my favorite
Christmas movie of all time,

"Bad Santa."
Look it up.

This is Lauren Graham.
Welcome to "The Masked Singer."

Whoo!

‐ That was well thought out.
‐ So wrong.

All right, panel, it's time
to reveal the revealing item.

Here we go.

Here comes the clue.

You guys ready?

Yes.

‐ What?

That's a hint?
My lord.

Here we go.
Here comes the clue.

You guys ready?
‐ Yes.

‐ What?
‐ Bowl of soup.

- A bowl of soup.
- A bowl of soup?

‐ That's a hint?
‐ If it wasn't for soup,

I'm not sure I would be
where I am at today.

Maybe she did
a soup commercial.

Or is it like a chef that also has
an acting career on the side?

I don't really know much
about Rachael Ray as a singer,

but I still think
it might be her.

We're thinking so hard
right now.

This seems to have confused
you all even more.

‐ I know! ‐ It's adorable
though, isn't it?

Watching Jenny and Robin
figure out clues

like Shaggy
and Scooby‐Doo.

But slightly less
articulate.

Ladies and gentlemen,
let's give it up for the Tree.

I think we're gonna be
really surprised who this is.

I think so.

Our panel thought
one of these celebrities

might be under
the Tree mask.

Who do you think it is?

All right, time to look at clues
about the Rottweiler.

When I started
this competition,

I never would have imagined
I'd make it this far.

‐ ♪ And we'll shut it down ♪ ‐ When you
sing, it doesn't even sound real to me.

It sounds like a record.

Hearing all the love
for these past few weeks

has made me feel
so grateful.

Let me tell you,
the story of my life

didn't always look
like this.

I didn't take the conventional
route to stardom.

And while there were
tough times...

It's the set
of "Married... with Children."

Maybe it's David Faustino.

I wouldn't change
a single moment.

That's his second
North Carolina clue.

Because it's led me
to every opportunity I've had

on screen and off.

Okay, so he played
a detective on TV.

So he's an actor.

Tonight, I'm leaving my heart
on the stage

and showing a side of myself
I don't normally share.

Because I'm not ready to take
this mask off anytime soon.

‐ Okay, dog. ‐ Wait till you
hear him sing, Triumph.

This guys sounds like
he sings professionally.

This is one
of our favorites.

Come on!

The Rottweiler.


Got everybody on their feet.

‐ Jenny. ‐ I'm so blown
away, I'm still standing.

I mean, that was by far, the best
performance of the entire show,

or the whole season
thus far.

Yeah, yeah.

So, this is a little
awkward, I have to say.

First of all, I just,
Rottweiler,

I never thought I'd see you again
after walking out on your mother.

Wow.

- ‐ But...
- That's his son.

...but in my defense,
you were a very ugly baby.

Ken, were you picking up
on any clues?

I'm thinking the North Carolina
really speaks to me.

I'm actually from
North Carolina.

I grew up in North Carolina,
and I'm wondering, you know,

if this is a singer
who is from North Carolina.

Someone exactly like me.
Someone with a‐‐

Someone with humble roots.

‐ And a killer voice.
‐ Killer voice.

Killer abs
from North Carolina.

‐ Sweet ab. ‐ Maybe someone
like, I think Gavin DeGraw

might be
from North Carolina.

- Ooh, that's pretty good.
- Has an amazing voice.

- ‐ Yes.
- That's not bad at all.

‐ Ken has a logical guess, everybody.
‐ That's a great guess.

I did it!
Boom!

I like that.
‐ Impressive.

But they said in the package
"unconventional route to stardom."

And putting the clues together
from the past,

they said musical theater
to makeup,

and this person
is a "Glee" star.

They got discovered
on YouTube.

I think it could be
Darren Criss.

Darren Criss,
he wore makeup to the Met Ball.

And he's done musical theater,
so I'm going with Darren Criss.

That's a good one.
‐ That's a great guess.

All right, now the Rottweiler's
brought something from his doghouse.

‐ Bring it on!
‐ Reveal the revealing item.

‐ ‐here it comes.
‐ ‐

‐ You guys ready?
‐ Yes, sir.

Aww.
‐!

‐ What? ‐ Whoa, he drew
this picture of Triumph.

‐ Wow.
‐ I love you so much, Triumph...

‐ Yes.
‐ ...that I drew this for you

hoping that you would sign it
for a fellow pup

or...your son.

I will be honored to sign it
for a fellow pup.

I'm gonna personalize it,

and I'm also going to make sure
that Dr. Ken signs it

so it doesn't have too much
value for you to resell.

My God.

‐ I mean, if he painted that,
he's a very good artist. ‐ Yeah.

He's a artist or maybe even
a young comic.

‐ Very good painter, singer.
‐ That's very good, yes.

Possibly actor. I mean, James
Franco paints, I know that.

Ooh.
‐ I don't know if he can sing.

- ‐ You can sing.
- Yeah, yeah.

- He can sing.
- That boy can sing.

Either way, we know that he
is multitalented.

Ladies and gentlemen, one
more time for the Rottweiler.

The panel thought
one of these celebrities

might be under
the Rottweiler mask.

Who do you think it is?

We got some serious contenders
on this show.

I think the finals we're gonna
see Rottweiler and Fox.

‐ And Thingamajig. ‐ Hey, Flamingo's
gonna be there until the end, too.

‐ It's gonna be tough at the end.
‐ It's gonna be very tough.

When we return,
our big vote to decide

which of our secret superstars
will be unmasked and heading home.

Only on "The Masked Singer."

It's that time when all the musical
madness suddenly gets very real.

Panel and studio audience,

vote now for your favorite
performer of the night.

The singer with the least amount
of votes will be unmasked

and reveal
their secret identity.

The singer taking it off

and heading home
tonight is...

Nick!

I don't like this part.

I don't want anyone
to go home.

I know.

...the Ladybug.

- ‐ Aww.
- No.

But keep it going for her.
She did an amazing job.

She did an amazing job.

The rest of you,
hit the showers.

Ladybug! Ladybug!

So amazing.
They're chanting your name.

Now, Ladybug, we'll miss you,
but on the other hand,

we can't wait to figure out

who is behind
this fantastic costume.

Yes!

God, who is it? I really don't
know who it is, actually.

But first, to our panel, after three
performances and countless clues,

any guesses of whose famous face
is about to be revealed?

I really don't have a handle
as to who you are.

The clues
really screwed me up,

especially in the beginning
when you first came here.

The first clue package
was game show.

And then there's award
for host.

You came from
a famous family.

There's drama.

And it just keeps going
in my head with Paris Jackson.

I think, like, family issues
being a theme,

and also because this is
someone who can sing,

who can act, who can dance,
and, you know,

I think from day one, I think
this may be Lindsay Lohan.

I was pretty stumped by you
early on from some of the clues.

I thought Lily Collins
at the beginning,

and then I thought
maybe Ashlee Simpson,

but I've started to kinda look at all the
clues and piece some things together.

I think your ginger haired, which
is why you picked a red costume,

and I think you might have won an award
for hosting "SNL" or the MTV Awards,

and you got so upset at when we
called you Lindsay Lohan earlier.

I have to agree with Ken.
I think Lindsay Lohan.

Now, Triumph,
you are our guest panelist.

‐ I am.
‐ Come on, Lassie, get it right.

First of all, I want to say
I give you a lot of credit

'cause it takes a lot of guts
to come out here and perform

in front of professional
entertainers and Ken Jeong.

You know, I'm on the Lindsay
bandwagon, if there's such a thing.

Whoo!
Go, Lindsay!

‐ I don't think so. ‐ Hey, I'm a
talking dog. Cut me some slack.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Last time she told us about
coming from a famous family

and feeling like
she was overshadowed.

And that thick, rich
Southern accent.

I'm thinking
it's Jamie Lynn Spears.

Ooh.

That's the first
guess she doesn't mind.

‐ She just went like this, so...
‐ Whoa, so maybe.

Okay, panel,
you've made your final guesses.

Now let's see if any of you
are right.

Ladybug,
show us who you are.

‐ Take it off!
‐ ♪ Who are you? ♪

‐ Take it off! Take it off!
‐ ♪ Who, who, who, who ♪

‐ ♪ Who are you? ♪
‐ Lindsay.

Paris Jackson.

No!

My God!

What? You!

My God.

That's crazy!
Kelly Osbourne!

Never‐‐ never would have
thought Osbourne.

‐ We've been played.
‐ Whoa!

‐ We've been played!
‐ That's my pal!

‐ I'm so mad at myself!
‐ Nick!

I didn't know you were
a singer,

an amazing singer
at that.

‐ I'm‐‐ I'm speechless.
‐ She threw her Britishness...

‐ You tricked us. You tricked us.
‐ ...from day one.

‐ The Southern accent! ‐ I heard the
first words come out of my mouth

and I was like,
"They're gonna know it's me."

And then this accent
just came out,

and I had to do it
the whole time.

And every single time
inside this mask,

I've been dying laughing
every time I had to sing.

- ‐ You fooled us. You fooled us so bad.
- That was amazing though!

‐ Great job.
‐ You know what?

I am so happy
that you're on this show

because you got to really
showcase your voice.

And we got to hear it
in all different styles.

My God. I literally
myself every week.

There's no shame in that.

Triumph does it
all the time.

All right, ladies and gentlemen,
here to perform unmasked

once and for all, the artist
formerly known as the Ladybug,

Kelly Osbourne!
