The Masked Singer (2019–…): Season 4, Episode 3 - The Group A Play Offs - Famous Masked Words - full transcript
To keep our
singers' identity a secret,
the masked compound
is strictly a no-fly zone.
But that doesn't stop spying
eyes from trying to sneak a peek.
Security breach.
Code alert. All hands on deck.
If you're dying to know
who's under the mask,
you'll just have to follow
the clues like the rest of us.
- I can explain.
- ♪ Who is that?
Last week, the group b premiere
was off the charts.
- Yeah!
- Holy cow!
And gremlin gave us
the shock of the century...
It's not that part
of the show yet!
...By breaking all the rules.
- We haven't even voted!
- What is happening? No!
- My friend mickey rourke!
- ♪ Who is that?
Tonight, group a
comes soaring back.
Whoo!
As giraffe, snow owls,
popcorn, and the sun
fight for a first class seat
in the group a finals.
That was probably,
out of all of our seasons,
my favorite female vocal
I've ever heard.
Take your seats and securely
fasten your detective caps.
It's our clue-dropping drone!
"masked singer"
is cleared for takeoff.
Look at snow owl right there.
He's probably like, "you're on to me."
that's him falling asleep.
♪ Who are you?
♪ Who, who, who, who
♪ come on,
tell me who are you? ♪
♪ Who are you?
♪ Who, who, who, who
♪ oh, I really wanna know
♪ who are you?
Welcome to the only thing
you and your facebook friends
can agree upon
in an election year.
It's the genuine joy
and pleasure that
is "the masked singer!"
- yeah!
- Let's say hello to our "masked singer"
supreme court justices
and jesters.
- Give it up for our panel!
- Whoo!
So far this has been an incredible
and wildly unpredictable season.
We've already said good-bye
to two massive legends,
our dragon hero busta rhymes
and the unforgettable,
historical self-unmasking
of gremlin, mickey rourke.
Now, we didn't get a chance
to see our panel's first
impression guesses for gremlin.
And we missed one
important thing.
Jenny mccarthy wahlberg
got it right!
- What?
- Yeah.
That gives her one point,
and ties her with both robin and nicole.
And ken is, not surprising...
- I wrote mickey rourke, too.
- No. No, you didn't.
Yeah, I did.
That was my lie detector.
All right,
tonight group a is back
with four powerful singers
fighting for only three spots
in the group a finals.
And breaking news, we have a brand
new costume entering the competition.
It's a "masked singer" twist
no one was expecting.
Here to blur some lines
between fantasy and reality,
it's the robin.
- What?
- ♪ I'm sexy and I know it
- oh, my god!
- ♪ I'm sexy and I know it
♪ look at that body,
look at that body ♪
♪ look at that body,
I work out ♪
♪ I'm sexy and I know it
He's got robin's
chesticles as well.
It looks too much like me.
It's weird.
- Everybody get up.
- No way!
Everybody get up.
I said everybody get up.
Hey, hey, hey.
Robin, this is for you.
- He sounds just like you.
- Ken, you look stupid.
Go, joel!

- wait a minute. I'm sorry.
- That was amazing!
- I didn't sing the whole song.
- The worst ever!
- I didn't sing the whole song.
- I know. I know you didn't.
- That's so horrible!
- I loved it.
- Robin, jenny, uh, nicole, big fan.
I mean, what about...
What about me?
Are you standing on
some phone books?
I don't know which part
is the best.
Is it the suit?
Is it the face? Or is it...
- it's all of it.
- We still don't even know who this person is.
I know exactly who this is.
You never know. We
gotta do it the official way.
Audience... "take it off!"
take it off! Take it off!
Oh, my goodness!
It's friend of the show
and tonight's guest panelist.
Give it up for joel mchale!
- Put it back!
- I just want to say, nick...
Nick, that this journey
has been just
so incredible for me.
- Boo!
- What an incredible robin thicke impression.
- You go on over there.
- That was so good, joel.
Joel will be joining us
the entire show,
- and his shoulder pads are staying on.
- That was so good.
All right, so much fun. Now
let's get into tonight's competition.
We're kicking things off with
everyone's favorite snack, the popcorn.
Here's a few new secrets about the
popcorn to help you out in a jiffy... Pop.
I picked the popcorn
costume because I wanted to step
far out of my comfort zone.
Wow, was that outstanding.
But my favorite part so far
is flirting with nick.
- I just want to kiss nick.
- Oh!
I'm not the only one around
here looking like a snack.
I wasn't always a healthy treat.
Major soap opera vibes.
When I was a tiny kernel,
I suffered from
a bizarre condition.
I couldn't eat or sleep.
I developed severe anxiety
and felt like I was in
an emotional prison
until I dug deep
into my pop core
and found my voice,
which led me away from the drama
to the other side.
Hair crimper, rubik's cube.
It's definitely '80s.
Yes, because of my voice,
I survived.
And tonight, I can serve you up
another delicious performance.
She's a legend. I feel like it.
- Okay, legend.
- After the break, the popcorn takes on harry styles
with a performance that will have
you falling even more in love with her.
We'll be right back.
- When we return...
- Oh, my gosh!
...The group a playoffs
get dramatic.
All of the emotion, all the power
came through in that performance.
He doesn't look like
he likes you, ken.
And if you thought gremlin's
unmasking was crazy,
- wait till you see this.
- I was close!
- Oh, my god!
- Oh, my god!
Welcome back
to "the masked singer."
give it up for the popcorn!

oh, whoa!
The popcorn.
- Amazing.
- You know, the beauty of this show
is they can't show you
their emotions with their face,
so you have to hear it
in the voice.
All of the emotion,
all of the quivering,
the power, the strength,
the vulnerability
- all came through in that performance.
- Yeah.
Outstanding. Gorgeous. Gorgeous.
- Thank you so much.
- I'm gonna say this,
your performance
was better than mine.
When you look at the outfit,
you're like,
"I'm at an amusement park."
and then the voice
is incredible.
- Takes you to church.
- Yeah.
All right, well, tonight
we're revealing major clues
about our group a singers,
but in this age
of social distancing,
who's willing to hand deliver
our panel these
important messages?
- Well?
- What's happening?
- Oh.
- What's happening now?
Oh, my gosh, look.
- Oh!
- There it is.
- Wow.
- It's our clue-dropping drone.
That's pretty awesome.
This is how I want
my dinner delivered.
- Is that saturn?
- It's a planet.
All right, well, popcorn,
tell us about your clue.
The second rock from the sun
may be far away.
- Venus.
- But it should bring you closer to me.
- Ah.
- Does that help?
Doesn't mean anything
to you guys?
Oh, yeah. It's harry styles.
- No, that was his song.
- The song was by harry styles.
- Okay.
- Do you get dumber every season?
Just because you and robin went to
the same plant-themed clothing store
doesn't mean I'm dumber now.
So, anyway, the clues in this one,
there was the '80s stuff
and then the lgbtq part.
Maybe it's dionne warwick.
- But then that's more '70s...
- She was on our show.
- The mouse from last season, dummy.
- She was on the show.
Uh, I did not watch last season.
You were there. You were,
like, on, like, three times.
No, I don't watch
anything ken is on.
- Okay. All right.
- So here's why I think it's gloria gaynor.
Because "I will survive"
is big in the gay community.
- That's a good one.
- And it said "I survived" in the package.
- Yeah.
- Your guesses couldn't be more ridiculous.
I think it's katy perry,
and I'll tell you why.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Hear me out.
Katy perry is known
for her crazy costumes.
She has dressed up in the past
like dumbo, a cupcake,
and hand sanitizer.
Very relevant.
And she spent most of 2020
craving her favorite
pregnant food... popcorn.
- Dig it.
- I beg to differ.
You know, last time
I thought tina turner
because her voice is legendary.
You seem like a legend.
But then there was also clues,
especially on the drone,
we saw venus.
And I thought maybe there's
a little fun in the name.
She also played in
a kind of soapy tv show,
which was "ugly betty."
so I'm thinking maybe this
could be vanessa williams.
- Oh, good guess.
- Ah, that's pretty good.
- Those could be vanessa's legs.
- Maybe.
- She has a beautiful voice.
- V-nessa, right.
But in all seriousness,
you are a legendary soul
and I can't wait to find out
who you are. Amazing.
- Thank you, ken.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time for the popcorn.
Our panel pretty much
guessed everyone
but orville redenbacher
for the popcorn.
Who do you think it is?
What the panel said
about my performance
just had me crying
under my mask.
Really, it was so uplifting
and made me feel all warm
and buttery all over.
♪ Who is that?
Back from commercial
in 30 seconds.
Hey, can we hear "let's hear it
for the boy" by deniece williams?
Oh. Oh, yes!
♪ Let's hear it for the boy
♪ let's give the boy a hand
- this is such a good song!
- Whatever happened to her?
- Maybe she's on the show.
- She probably is.
She might be popcorn.
Welcome back to
"the masked singer."
everyone is fighting for a spot
in the group a finals.
Does the giraffe have
what it takes to land there?
Here are a few new secrets
behind the giraffe.
I gotta tell you,
I'm already having a blast.
I mean, I'm dressed as
a giant giraffe with heels on.
Only problem is this long neck
can be tough to maneuver.
- Ow!
- But I'm having fun,
and that's something I really
need in my life right now.
I've survived and thrived
in the animal kingdom
by seeing the big picture...
Oh, the fox. Maybe they've
worked with wayne brady?
...And staying above the drama.
- Peaches.
- That's an atlanta, georgia reference.
But recently, my whole world
came crashing down.
I've kept it mostly secret,
but my life was transformed
in the blink of an eye.
- Blink-182.
- I had a terrifying episode
that really scrambled my brain.
I could barely walk or talk.
But I'm a fighter,
and I defeated
my invisible predator.
Now, I'm at a crossroads
in life.
But the one thing that
keeps me going is my herd.
As long as they're in my corner,
I know I'll be back
to put on another show.

The kool giraffe and the gang.
That was the best
performance I've seen
by a giraffe from the 1700s.
Last time we heard you rapping.
The week we heard you singing.
You've got a little nice voice
underneath all that amadeus-wear.
You know what, giraffe?
The panel could use some help.
Where is that
clue-dropping drone at?
- Where is it?
- Ah.
- Here it comes.
- Oh, look! Oh, my gosh!
A domino!
It's a pizza.
- Okay, it's two fours.
- Four, four.
24?
That was a... that was
a really important tile to me,
but does it help you guys
score my identity?
Score? "score my identity."
I have something.
The clue package,
it said "blink of an eye,"
and then the domino was one
domino with eight dots and two fours.
1-8-2. Blink-182.
And then last time,
jenny said travis barker.
Now, think about this. The crash and burn
is his plane crash that he went through.
- Right.
- I think it might be travis barker.
- All right.
- Wow.
Look, giraffe, I know that
you're not a professional singer.
I keep seeing the fox thing and then
something big happened in their life.
Then I thought, well, maybe it's
jason priestley because he was on fox.
- And then he had that car racing accident.
- Motorcycle, yeah.
And then I saw five giraffes,
and I thought, "party of five."
- and that maybe is scott wolf. Maybe?
- Maybe. Yes.
I like that. But he said that
his life transformed, okay?
- And this person was in the "transformers."
- oh. Uh-oh.
And do you all remember that
there was a little spotlight on fox?
- Megan fox.
- There was megan fox in the "transformers."
- oh. Oh, snap.
- And this person, little known fact,
look it up,
has a giraffe tattoo.
I'm thinking it's shia labeouf.
- Oh!
- I'm totally... yeah, actually, nick... nick,
I'm totally stealing that guess.
That's amazing. I think...
- Really?
- It totally is shia.
I worked with shia labeouf
in "transformers 3"...
- Oh, here we go.
- Oh, god.
...The best
of the "transformers."
shia, we had a lot of fun
on the set.
- Here he goes.
- Oh, my goodness. It was so great.
His favorite animal
is a giraffe.
- He doesn't look like he likes you, ken.
- You're such a card, man.
You're crazy, shia.
You are crazy.
That life-altering episode
in the package, you know,
shia actually was involved...
You okay, j?
Was also involved in a car accident,
unfortunately,
where he hurt his hand,
but he's all better now.
Plus, it said "had an episode"
in the clue package.
He starred in the disney series
"even stevens"...
I have no control over the guy.
Has a new show on fox and
thinks he can just take over this one.
And then "fighter," when you were younger,
you would get in fights,
- get in bar fights...
- So, what have you been up to lately?
- I'm sleeping.
- Ken. Yo, ken, look at the rest of your panel.
Oh, shut up, nick.
Did I say I was in
a "transformers" movie
with shia labeouf?
We had three scenes
and we had fun times.
Guys? Shia? Hold on.
Let me finish. Let me finish.
♪ Who is that?
...And then shia,
like, he played john mcenroe.
He, like... he was so good.
- When he would protest...
- Hold on just one second.
If you're just joining us
on "the masked singer,"
ken jeong is still
explaining his answer.
Now back to the show. Go ahead.
He is a singer, and what I like
about shia is that his passion...
- okay, thank you.
- His favorite movie was "crossroads."
Is he still talking?
Could someone wake up jenny?
- Jenny. Jenny.
- I'm so sorry.
Jenny, uh,
he's almost done, I think.
Hold on. Hold on for a second.
Hold on for a second.
- Uh, I'm done, I'm done.
- Thank you.
- Oh, my gosh!
- Give it up one more time. Get down on it.
- I'm sorry.
- The giraffe!
- He's over it.
- Ah, that's just how he acts.
Were our panel's giraffe
guesses nothing to look up to?
Don't be shy. Tell us by using
that hashtag, #themaskedsinger.
All right, next up we have
the history-making snow owls.
Are they siblings, spouses,
co-stars, or teammates?
Maybe these
newly revealed secrets
will help you figure it out.
Our "masked singer" debut
was a hoot.
♪ Say something, I'm giving up ♪
The way they fell
with the lyrics,
the way they both trembled
their voices at the same time,
it was utter perfection.
And while we love being the
first ever to compete as a pair,
wheeling around in a giant egg
isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Oopsie!
Luckily, we've always
had each other's back.
Like when I was going
through a messy breakup
and got swept up in
an avalanche of emotions.
Well, who hasn't gone
through a messy breakup?
I took his side
and was his anchor,
despite "beaklash"
from our community.
"anchorman"?
And when I was in low places,
he was my knight
in shining armor.
- Huzzah!
- I had an opportunity
fit for a queen that
I was too scared to do.
But I said, "you can do it!"
rob schneider line. "waterboy."
so I took the leap of faith
and it was life-changing.
Being there for each other
has made us super tight.
Just not usually this tight.
And now let's continue our hunt
to be crowned champions.
Huzzah!

oh, that is so cute!
- That was great!
- You guys, keep it going
for the snow owls
for that amazing performance.
- They sound beautiful, don't they?
- They're so adorable.
Panel, talk to snow owls.
I mean, that was such
a loving performance.
You guys are one
of my favorites.
You remind me of me and donnie.
And you bring out
all those love feels.
- Great job.
- I think what was really great
about this performance,
the first time,
I believe you guys were
harmonizing the whole time.
And in this song,
you really got to take some spots
and go back and forth
with your ad libs.
And I think it was
a really nice way to feature
both of your voices
individually.
- Beautiful.
- Wow.
Well, it's definitely clue time.
What's that buzzing sound?
It's that drone again.
- I can hear it.
- Here we go.
- What is that?
- Oh, what's that?
A witch's hat.
Maybe somebody
that was in "wicked"?
- "wicked."
- oh.
A witch movie? A witch tv show?
Oh, my goodness. You're right.
We will tip our hats to...
Whichever one of you
figures out the clue.
- Tip our hats.
- Tip our hats.
- I do think...
- Like taking a bow. Broadway.
Yeah, but initially,
based on the clue package
where it said, "you can do it,"
I was thinking...
I was actually thinking
rob schneider,
who was in adam sandler's movie
"the waterboy"
- and his daughter elle king who is, like, amazing.
- Amazing.
Singer of the "ex's & oh's."
but the bewitched thing
kind of...
Because I had been thinking
of will ferrell,
who was in "bewitched"
with nicole kidman.
But my favorite movie
of the last few months
was "eurovision"
with will ferrell
and rachel mcadams.
And I think there's, like, a snow
owl char... look at will right there.
He's probably, like,
"oh, you're right again.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm embarrassed.
You're on to me."
oh, he's, like, crazy.
That's him falling asleep.
No. Agree to disagree.
An anchor was in the package,
like "anchorman."
I really think
this is will ferrell,
rachel mcadams, "eurovision."
snow owls, amazing.
Will ferrell is not
one of the snow owls, ken.
- It's not his tone.
- Agree to disagree.
Well, I literally thought
it was rob schneider
and elle king,
and then ken said that
and I was like,
"well, it's definitely not
rob schneider or elle king."
so there was that country twang.
They did sound incredible.
And I think it's garth brooks
and trisha yearwood, who...
- that's pretty good.
- Who have been together a long time.
Both married to different people,
helped each other through breakups.
- Thank you. Good-bye!
- Can I help you out with that? Can I...
No, let me double down on that
because last time's clues,
there was a pearl,
and he had started
a record company
called pearl records.
- Ah.
- Wait. What about keith urban and nicole kidman?
- Nicole kidman.
- Nicole kidman also starred in "bewitched"
- with will ferrell.
- She was in "moulin rouge."
- she can sing.
- "moulin rouge."
- that's a very keith urban voice right there.
- Yeah.
Well, but she's
a foot taller than, uh...
There could be, um,
little seat thingies.
You are definitely
all over the place,
and we've been flooded
with questions on social media
since we started
the audience asks segment,
and we have our first one
ever for the snow owls.
@dadofkennedy wants to know...
I can't tell if that's
a compliment or an insult.
- Yeah, me neither.
- It's an insult.
I can tell you this.
I'm definitely not bjork.
- Bjork.
- And I'm not honey boo boo.
Not honey boo boo.
I'm not fabio. I'm not jag.
I've never been on "jag."
I mean, "jag"?
- Oh!
- Ken!
Oh, my gosh.
All right, well,
ladies and gentlemen,
- one more time for the snow owls.
- Great job!
Our panel gave their
two cents about what two celebs
could be behind
the snow owl mask.
What do you think?
The panel thinks
we're a married couple,
but a sister can sing a love
song to her brother, right?
♪ Who is that?
- ♪ who is that?
- Welcome back to "the masked singer."
- whoo!
- Our last performer of the night
fighting for her spot in the

Here are a few new secrets
to brighten your day.
I love dressing up as the sun.
It's like every day
is Halloween.
- - what a
way to open season four
on "the masked singer," sun!
I really do feel
like a kid again.
I missed out on a lot
of my childhood
growing up in a fractured home.
But lately I've made up
for that lost time,
discovering childlike outlets
to make life magical,
like going into the woods
to find harmony in nature.
- "into the woods."
- anna kendrick?
I love dirt in my toes,
a young memory of mine,
and the land that slides
as my heart walks a line.
And I've become a whiz
at cooking up tasty treats
for like-minded
immaterial girls.
See? I told you it was madonna.
Finally, I'm always looking
on the bright side,
burning ugly rumors
out of my life.

oh, my god! Oh, my gosh!
That was unbelievable.
Ladies and gentlemen,
keep it going for the sun!
A true goddess.
I'm, like, almost speechless.
That was so captivating.
It was probably
out of all of our seasons,
my favorite female vocal
I've ever heard on this show.
- Oh, wow!
- I was tearing up.
- Yes!
- Last week we said
seahorse was giving you
a run for your money,
but you just clapped back, sis.
- Yes!
- The women are on fire this season.
Yes!
Wow. All right, well,
I got a feeling this is clue time.
- Ooh.
- Here comes the drone with more secrets.
- You hear it?
- Where's the drone?
Could it bring me some
chili fries while it's at it?
There it is.
Bring it right here.
- Right here, drone.
- Ah.
Nice!
Oh, it's an eight ball.
Hit him. Oh, you missed.
The number eight.
Will this magic eight ball
help you conjure up my identity?
Outlook not so hot.
Outlook not so hot.
Oh, well, that clears it up.
That doing anything
for anybody up there?
Maybe a little.
Previously I said demi lovato.
- Yeah.
- She voiced a main character in "charming"
with a song called "magical."
and then one of demi lovato's
shows was "sonny with a chance."
get it? "'sonny' with a chance."
- oh, there it is.
- But I was also thinking
mandy moore was
in the movie "tangled."
ooh, could be. The personality of
mandy moore is very sunshine, yeah.
Right? And she also
has a single called "candy"
- and we saw a candy cane.
- Well, I'm still convinced that it's someone else,
and I'm going to double down on your
guess last time of katharine mcphee.
- Ooh.
- And I'll tell you why from some of the clues.
If she was on "american idol,"
she could have sang "rumors."
she could have sang
"ray of light."
she could have sang "landslide."
and her personality traits,
the way she's
responding to our jokes,
I've seen her
on "american idol,"
and I'm seeing some similarities
in the body language.
And there's a lot
of musical references
with "into the woods"
and "the wiz."
- and she did star in "waitress."
- that's right.
But I don't know if you all
caught that the sun
- was walking under a wood.
- Uh-huh.
- Carrie underwood.
- Oh!
- Yeah, there it is.
- Oh! Yes!
- Yes.
- And carrie underwood can "sang."
- she can. You're right.
- And she's got pipes like that as well.
That's pretty good, nicole.
Vocally, you could be right.
But you know what's weird?
Dirty feet.
I'm still stuck on that.
She's country. They like to get,
you know, down and dirty.
- Who? I mean...
- Not like that.
I don't know why I moved like...
- I know! Why are you...
- It's the outfit.
They're so big.
She's moves like
michael keaton in "batman."
where she's like, "yes? What?"
well, you know what I'm most
excited about is to look at social media
to see how wrong we all are
from everybody.
Well, one thing we do know,
it was an outstanding
performance.
You guys, make some noise
for the amazing sun.
These are the panel's
guesses for the sun.
Who do you think it is?
- All right.
- Popcorn's performance had the judges falling for her,
and the giraffe brought
that energy.
The snow owls had the panel
throwing out the names
of every couple within
500 miles of nashville...
- Right?
- ...Before the sun brought everyone to tears.
So, studio audience, panel,
and our superfans at home,
time to vote for your favorite.
This is hard, guys.
The people have spoken.
Only three can advance
to the group a finals
with the hopes of ultimately
making it into our super six.
- Here we go.
- Scary, scary, scary!
The singer
headed home tonight is...
Oh!
Who's getting unmasked?
The votes are in.
Scary, scary!
The singer
headed home tonight is...
- The giraffe.
- Oh, no, giraffe!
Ladies and gentlemen,
keep it going for the giraffe.
- Giraffe!
- The rest of you, congrats.
We'll see you all in a few weeks
for the group a finals.
Come on down here, giraffe.
He was an incredible challenger.
Mr. Giraffe, with the good
comes the bad.
The bad, of course,
is you have to unmask.
But the good is
we learn who you are.
But first, men in black,
bring out the panelists'
first impression guesses...
- You know what? You don't have to do that.
- ...From the vault.
- Honestly...
- No!
We don't need to do that, nick.
Maybe we cut this part out
of the episode.
Now, if your first impression
guess is correct,
- that's how you win.
- You know what? I just...
Well, ken,
your first impression guess for the giraffe
- was will.I.Am.
- Oh, my god. Ken?
Because it was a black
eyed peas song and then...
- will.I.Am?
- Just stop it. Shut up, robin.
- It was just like...
- so do you want to stick with that?
No, I'm not sticking with that.
Clearly this is shia labeouf.
I stole it from nicole,
but I stand by it.
Nicole explained
he had a tattoo of a giraffe.
- Yep.
- The life-altering mention in the package
refers to the unfortunate
car accident that he had.
And he also mentioned in
the clue package "big picture."
"transformers" was a big picture
that I had a part in.
- Oh, boy.
- No? No high-five?
All right, well, nicole?
- Okay.
- Dale earnhardt, jr.
Yes. And I'm sticking
with dale earnhardt, jr.
- Really?
- Because of all the car crash clues, okay?
Then, "world crashing down,"
dale and his family actually
survived a plane crash.
- Wow.
- Yes. But this...
This is why I tied it all back
to dale earnhardt, jr.
Tell us. Bring it home, nicole.
Because of
the onstage clue today,
the number eight domino
to reflect the number
of his car that he drives,
- number eight.
- Yeah!
- I like it.
- All right, nicole.
Dale earnhardt, jr., everyone.
Jenny, your first
impression guess...
- Oh.
- Travis barker.
- You know, that's not bad. It's not bad.
- It's great.
I'll give myself a little bit
of a tap on the shoulder
even though
I don't think I'm right.
I made a ha-ha to myself
because I put down seth green
- when I saw that green apple.
- Ooh.
But there are more clues
for him.
Seth has a show on fox...
"family guy."
and he's not the tallest,
but maybe that's why
he wanted to be the giraffe.
- I'm changing my guess to seth green.
- That's not bad.
Robin's first impression guess
was jaleel white.
- Did he do that?
- Yeah. I went with urkel.
- You went with urkel?
- Oh, my gosh.
I don't know, man.
But now I'm changing my mind.
Clues about drummed up,
crash and burn.
In the clues this week,
it was "blink of an eye."
but I'll tell you what
really gave it away to me.
Travis and I
performed on the grammys
a few years ago together.
And I know his posture,
I know the way he walks.
He holds his head very high.
I think jenny was right.
- I think it's travis barker.
- I really hope so.
Mr. Joel mchale,
would you like to make a final guess?
Okay, so I'm not very good
at collecting clues.
That's why I'm not a detective.
I'm an actor.
I kept seeing fox
and then a crash.
But now I'm gonna go back to
one of the founders of fox
and their show "90210."
and jason priestley
had a big car accident
in a race, in a car race,
so I think it's jason priestley.
- That's pretty good.
- That's a nice guess.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Are you guys ready?
- Yes, please!
- We're ready.
Let's see if any of you
are even close.
It's the moment
we've all been waiting for.
It's time for the giraffe to...
take it off! Take it off!

You got a green right. My man!
You guys were all so close,
but so far.
Wait, you guys have no idea.
He was at my...
Wait, wait, wait! No, no, no!
Before you start.
- Oh, my god.
- You were the robin on my shoulder in the package.
- Oh, my god, robin!
- Oh, my god.
- That was you.
- This is his friend and neighbor.
- How do you not know your own homeboy?
- No, you don't understand.
We were best friends
as teenagers.
I used to go to the "90210"
set with him all the time.
I love you. I can't believe that's you. Oh,
my god.
Robin and I had a group when
we were kids called think twice.
Think twice? Hold on.
We gotta talk about this.
- Think twice?
- So, you guys were like the white kris kross.
- Absolutely. Absolutely.
- Totally!
So, what's this entire experience
been like for you being a giraffe?
It's been fun.
It's been a really good time.
I've loved messing with ken.
We've never met before,
but you talk way too much.
- Oh, man.
- Can I ask what the peaches were about?
What do you mean what the
peaches were about? The peach pit.
- Peach pit! Oh! On the show.
- Oh, my god.
So when you were saying
megan fox,
I was like,
"oh, man. He's on to it."
oh, right!
So it was the megan connection
was the "transformers"
connection.
- Megan.
- Ah.
- Man, one more time...
- Thank you, everyone.
...For brian austin green.
Great job.
Joel, of course,
thank you again.
- Boo! Boo!
- Next week, the group b playoffs,
where five mystery
masked heroes return
to compete for a spot
in the group b finals.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
to perform unmasked
once and for all,
the artist formerly known
as the giraffe.

my favorite female vocal
I've ever heard.
Take your seats and securely
fasten your detective caps.

- Let's say hello to our "masked singer"
supreme court justices
and jesters.
- Give it up for our panel!
- Whoo!
So far this has been an incredible
and wildly unpredictable season.
We've already said good-bye
to two massive legends,
our dragon hero busta rhymes
and the unforgettable,
historical self-unmasking
of gremlin, mickey rourke.
Now, we didn't get a chance
to see our panel's first
impression guesses for gremlin.
And we missed one
important thing.
Jenny mccarthy wahlberg
got it right!
- What?
- Yeah.
That gives her one point,
and ties her with both robin and nicole.
And ken is, not surprising...
- I wrote mickey rourke, too.
- No. No, you didn't.
Yeah, I did.
That was my lie detector.
All right,
tonight group a is back
with four powerful singers
fighting for only three spots
in the group a finals.
And breaking news, we have a brand
new costume entering the competition.
It's a "masked singer" twist
no one was expecting.

it's the robin.

Nick, that this journey

so incredible for me.
- Boo!

- That was so good, joel.
Joel will be joining us
the entire show,
- and his shoulder pads are staying on.
- That was so good.
All right, so much fun. Now
let's get into tonight's competition.
We're kicking things off with
everyone's favorite snack, the popcorn.
Here's a few new secrets about the
popcorn to help you out in a jiffy... Pop.
I picked the popcorn
costume because I wanted to step
far out of my comfort zone.
Wow, was that outstanding.
But my favorite part so far
is flirting with nick.
- I just want to kiss nick.
- Oh!
I'm not the only one around
here looking like a snack.
I wasn't always a healthy treat.
Major soap opera vibes.
When I was a tiny kernel,
I suffered from
a bizarre condition.
I couldn't eat or sleep.
I developed severe anxiety
and felt like I was in
an emotional prison
until I dug deep
into my pop core
and found my voice,
which led me away from the drama
to the other side.
Hair crimper, rubik's cube.
It's definitely '80s.
Yes, because of my voice,
I survived.
And tonight, I can serve you up
another delicious performance.
She's a legend. I feel like it.
- Okay, legend.
- After the break, the popcorn takes on harry styles
with a performance that will have
you falling even more in love with her.
We'll be right back.
- When we return...
- Oh, my gosh!
...The group a playoffs
get dramatic.
All of the emotion, all the power
came through in that performance.
He doesn't look like
he likes you, ken.
And if you thought gremlin's
unmasking was crazy,
- wait till you see this.
- I was close!
- Oh, my god!
- Oh, my god!

The popcorn.
- Amazing.
- You know, the beauty of this show
is they can't show you
their emotions with their face,
so you have to hear it
in the voice.
All of the emotion,
all of the quivering,
the power, the strength,
the vulnerability
- all came through in that performance.
- Yeah.
Outstanding. Gorgeous. Gorgeous.
- Thank you so much.
- I'm gonna say this,
your performance
was better than mine.
When you look at the outfit,
you're like,
"I'm at an amusement park."
and then the voice
is incredible.
- Takes you to church.
- Yeah.
All right, well, tonight
we're revealing major clues
about our group a singers,
but in this age
of social distancing,
who's willing to hand deliver
our panel these
important messages?
- Well?
- What's happening?
- Oh.
- What's happening now?
Oh, my gosh, look.
- Oh!
- There it is.
- Wow.
- It's our clue-dropping drone.
That's pretty awesome.
This is how I want
my dinner delivered.
- Is that saturn?
- It's a planet.
All right, well, popcorn,
tell us about your clue.
The second rock from the sun
may be far away.
- Venus.
- But it should bring you closer to me.
- Ah.
- Does that help?
Doesn't mean anything
to you guys?
Oh, yeah. It's harry styles.
- No, that was his song.
- The song was by harry styles.
- Okay.
- Do you get dumber every season?
Just because you and robin went to
the same plant-themed clothing store
doesn't mean I'm dumber now.
So, anyway, the clues in this one,
there was the '80s stuff
and then the lgbtq part.
Maybe it's dionne warwick.
- But then that's more '70s...
- She was on our show.
- The mouse from last season, dummy.
- She was on the show.
Uh, I did not watch last season.
You were there. You were,
like, on, like, three times.
No, I don't watch
anything ken is on.
- Okay. All right.
- So here's why I think it's gloria gaynor.
Because "I will survive"
is big in the gay community.
- That's a good one.
- And it said "I survived" in the package.
- Yeah.
- Your guesses couldn't be more ridiculous.
I think it's katy perry,
and I'll tell you why.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Hear me out.
Katy perry is known
for her crazy costumes.
She has dressed up in the past
like dumbo, a cupcake,
and hand sanitizer.
Very relevant.
And she spent most of 2020
craving her favorite
pregnant food... popcorn.
- Dig it.
- I beg to differ.
You know, last time
I thought tina turner
because her voice is legendary.
You seem like a legend.
But then there was also clues,
especially on the drone,
we saw venus.
And I thought maybe there's
a little fun in the name.
She also played in
a kind of soapy tv show,
which was "ugly betty."
so I'm thinking maybe this
could be vanessa williams.
- Oh, good guess.
- Ah, that's pretty good.
- Those could be vanessa's legs.
- Maybe.
- She has a beautiful voice.
- V-nessa, right.
But in all seriousness,
you are a legendary soul
and I can't wait to find out
who you are. Amazing.
- Thank you, ken.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time for the popcorn.
Our panel pretty much
guessed everyone
but orville redenbacher
for the popcorn.
Who do you think it is?
What the panel said
about my performance
just had me crying
under my mask.
Really, it was so uplifting
and made me feel all warm
and buttery all over.
♪ Who is that?
Back from commercial
in 30 seconds.
Hey, can we hear "let's hear it
for the boy" by deniece williams?
Oh. Oh, yes!
♪ Let's hear it for the boy
♪ let's give the boy a hand
- this is such a good song!
- Whatever happened to her?
- Maybe she's on the show.
- She probably is.
She might be popcorn.
Welcome back to
"the masked singer."
everyone is fighting for a spot
in the group a finals.
Does the giraffe have
what it takes to land there?
Here are a few new secrets
behind the giraffe.
I gotta tell you,
I'm already having a blast.
I mean, I'm dressed as
a giant giraffe with heels on.
Only problem is this long neck
can be tough to maneuver.
- Ow!
- But I'm having fun,
and that's something I really
need in my life right now.
I've survived and thrived
in the animal kingdom
by seeing the big picture...
Oh, the fox. Maybe they've
worked with wayne brady?
...And staying above the drama.
- Peaches.
- That's an atlanta, georgia reference.
But recently, my whole world
came crashing down.
I've kept it mostly secret,
but my life was transformed
in the blink of an eye.
- Blink-182.
- I had a terrifying episode
that really scrambled my brain.
I could barely walk or talk.
But I'm a fighter,
and I defeated
my invisible predator.
Now, I'm at a crossroads
in life.
But the one thing that
keeps me going is my herd.
As long as they're in my corner,
I know I'll be back
to put on another show.

The kool giraffe and the gang.
That was the best
performance I've seen
by a giraffe from the 1700s.
Last time we heard you rapping.
The week we heard you singing.
You've got a little nice voice
underneath all that amadeus-wear.
You know what, giraffe?
The panel could use some help.
Where is that
clue-dropping drone at?
- Where is it?
- Ah.
- Here it comes.
- Oh, look! Oh, my gosh!
A domino!
It's a pizza.
- Okay, it's two fours.
- Four, four.
24?
That was a... that was
a really important tile to me,
but does it help you guys
score my identity?
Score? "score my identity."
I have something.
The clue package,
it said "blink of an eye,"
and then the domino was one
domino with eight dots and two fours.
1-8-2. Blink-182.
And then last time,
jenny said travis barker.
Now, think about this. The crash and burn
is his plane crash that he went through.
- Right.
- I think it might be travis barker.
- All right.
- Wow.
Look, giraffe, I know that
you're not a professional singer.
I keep seeing the fox thing and then
something big happened in their life.
Then I thought, well, maybe it's
jason priestley because he was on fox.
- And then he had that car racing accident.
- Motorcycle, yeah.
And then I saw five giraffes,
and I thought, "party of five."
- and that maybe is scott wolf. Maybe?
- Maybe. Yes.
I like that. But he said that
his life transformed, okay?
- And this person was in the "transformers."
- oh. Uh-oh.
And do you all remember that
there was a little spotlight on fox?
- Megan fox.
- There was megan fox in the "transformers."
- oh. Oh, snap.
- And this person, little known fact,
look it up,
has a giraffe tattoo.
I'm thinking it's shia labeouf.
- Oh!
- I'm totally... yeah, actually, nick... nick,
I'm totally stealing that guess.
That's amazing. I think...
- Really?
- It totally is shia.
I worked with shia labeouf
in "transformers 3"...
- Oh, here we go.
- Oh, god.
...The best
of the "transformers."
shia, we had a lot of fun
on the set.
- Here he goes.
- Oh, my goodness. It was so great.
His favorite animal
is a giraffe.
- He doesn't look like he likes you, ken.
- You're such a card, man.
You're crazy, shia.
You are crazy.
That life-altering episode
in the package, you know,
shia actually was involved...
You okay, j?
Was also involved in a car accident,
unfortunately,
where he hurt his hand,
but he's all better now.
Plus, it said "had an episode"
in the clue package.
He starred in the disney series
"even stevens"...
I have no control over the guy.
Has a new show on fox and
thinks he can just take over this one.
And then "fighter," when you were younger,
you would get in fights,
- get in bar fights...
- So, what have you been up to lately?
- I'm sleeping.
- Ken. Yo, ken, look at the rest of your panel.
Oh, shut up, nick.
Did I say I was in
a "transformers" movie
with shia labeouf?
We had three scenes
and we had fun times.
Guys? Shia? Hold on.
Let me finish. Let me finish.
♪ Who is that?
...And then shia,
like, he played john mcenroe.
He, like... he was so good.
- When he would protest...
- Hold on just one second.
If you're just joining us
on "the masked singer,"
ken jeong is still
explaining his answer.
Now back to the show. Go ahead.
He is a singer, and what I like
about shia is that his passion...
- okay, thank you.
- His favorite movie was "crossroads."
Is he still talking?
Could someone wake up jenny?
- Jenny. Jenny.
- I'm so sorry.
Jenny, uh,
he's almost done, I think.
Hold on. Hold on for a second.
Hold on for a second.
- Uh, I'm done, I'm done.
- Thank you.
- Oh, my gosh!
- Give it up one more time. Get down on it.
- I'm sorry.
- The giraffe!
- He's over it.
- Ah, that's just how he acts.
Were our panel's giraffe
guesses nothing to look up to?
Don't be shy. Tell us by using
that hashtag, #themaskedsinger.
All right, next up we have
the history-making snow owls.
Are they siblings, spouses,
co-stars, or teammates?
Maybe these
newly revealed secrets
will help you figure it out.
Our "masked singer" debut
was a hoot.
♪ Say something, I'm giving up ♪
The way they fell
with the lyrics,
the way they both trembled
their voices at the same time,
it was utter perfection.
And while we love being the
first ever to compete as a pair,
wheeling around in a giant egg
isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Oopsie!
Luckily, we've always
had each other's back.
Like when I was going
through a messy breakup
and got swept up in
an avalanche of emotions.
Well, who hasn't gone
through a messy breakup?
I took his side
and was his anchor,
despite "beaklash"
from our community.
"anchorman"?
And when I was in low places,
he was my knight
in shining armor.
- Huzzah!
- I had an opportunity
fit for a queen that
I was too scared to do.
But I said, "you can do it!"
rob schneider line. "waterboy."
so I took the leap of faith
and it was life-changing.
Being there for each other
has made us super tight.
Just not usually this tight.
And now let's continue our hunt
to be crowned champions.
Huzzah!

oh, that is so cute!
- That was great!
- You guys, keep it going
for the snow owls
for that amazing performance.
- They sound beautiful, don't they?
- They're so adorable.
Panel, talk to snow owls.
I mean, that was such
a loving performance.
You guys are one
of my favorites.
You remind me of me and donnie.
And you bring out
all those love feels.
- Great job.
- I think what was really great
about this performance,
the first time,
I believe you guys were
harmonizing the whole time.
And in this song,
you really got to take some spots
and go back and forth
with your ad libs.
And I think it was
a really nice way to feature
both of your voices
individually.
- Beautiful.
- Wow.
Well, it's definitely clue time.
What's that buzzing sound?
It's that drone again.
- I can hear it.
- Here we go.
- What is that?
- Oh, what's that?
A witch's hat.
Maybe somebody
that was in "wicked"?
- "wicked."
- oh.
A witch movie? A witch tv show?
Oh, my goodness. You're right.
We will tip our hats to...
Whichever one of you
figures out the clue.
- Tip our hats.
- Tip our hats.
- I do think...
- Like taking a bow. Broadway.
Yeah, but initially,
based on the clue package
where it said, "you can do it,"
I was thinking...
I was actually thinking
rob schneider,
who was in adam sandler's movie
"the waterboy"
- and his daughter elle king who is, like, amazing.
- Amazing.
Singer of the "ex's & oh's."
but the bewitched thing
kind of...
Because I had been thinking
of will ferrell,
who was in "bewitched"
with nicole kidman.
But my favorite movie
of the last few months
was "eurovision"
with will ferrell
and rachel mcadams.
And I think there's, like, a snow
owl char... look at will right there.
He's probably, like,
"oh, you're right again.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm embarrassed.
You're on to me."
oh, he's, like, crazy.
That's him falling asleep.
No. Agree to disagree.
An anchor was in the package,
like "anchorman."
I really think
this is will ferrell,
rachel mcadams, "eurovision."
snow owls, amazing.
Will ferrell is not
one of the snow owls, ken.
- It's not his tone.
- Agree to disagree.
Well, I literally thought
it was rob schneider
and elle king,
and then ken said that
and I was like,
"well, it's definitely not
rob schneider or elle king."
so there was that country twang.
They did sound incredible.
And I think it's garth brooks
and trisha yearwood, who...
- that's pretty good.
- Who have been together a long time.
Both married to different people,
helped each other through breakups.
- Thank you. Good-bye!
- Can I help you out with that? Can I...
No, let me double down on that
because last time's clues,
there was a pearl,
and he had started
a record company
called pearl records.
- Ah.
- Wait. What about keith urban and nicole kidman?
- Nicole kidman.
- Nicole kidman also starred in "bewitched"
- with will ferrell.
- She was in "moulin rouge."
- she can sing.
- "moulin rouge."
- that's a very keith urban voice right there.
- Yeah.
Well, but she's
a foot taller than, uh...
There could be, um,
little seat thingies.
You are definitely
all over the place,
and we've been flooded
with questions on social media
since we started
the audience asks segment,
and we have our first one
ever for the snow owls.
@dadofkennedy wants to know...
I can't tell if that's
a compliment or an insult.
- Yeah, me neither.
- It's an insult.
I can tell you this.
I'm definitely not bjork.
- Bjork.
- And I'm not honey boo boo.
Not honey boo boo.
I'm not fabio. I'm not jag.
I've never been on "jag."
I mean, "jag"?
- Oh!
- Ken!
Oh, my gosh.
All right, well,
ladies and gentlemen,
- one more time for the snow owls.
- Great job!
Our panel gave their
two cents about what two celebs
could be behind
the snow owl mask.
What do you think?
The panel thinks
we're a married couple,
but a sister can sing a love
song to her brother, right?
♪ Who is that?
- ♪ who is that?
- Welcome back to "the masked singer."
- whoo!
- Our last performer of the night
fighting for her spot in the
group a finals is the sun.
Here are a few new secrets
to brighten your day.
I love dressing up as the sun.
It's like every day
is Halloween.
- - what a
way to open season four
on "the masked singer," sun!
I really do feel
like a kid again.
I missed out on a lot
of my childhood
growing up in a fractured home.
But lately I've made up
for that lost time,
discovering childlike outlets
to make life magical,
like going into the woods
to find harmony in nature.
- "into the woods."
- anna kendrick?
I love dirt in my toes,
a young memory of mine,
and the land that slides
as my heart walks a line.
And I've become a whiz
at cooking up tasty treats
for like-minded
immaterial girls.
See? I told you it was madonna.
Finally, I'm always looking
on the bright side,
burning ugly rumors
out of my life.
- Fleetwood mac.
Now I'm over the moon

That was unbelievable.
Ladies and gentlemen,
keep it going for the sun!
A true goddess.
I'm, like, almost speechless.
That was so captivating.
It was probably
out of all of our seasons,
my favorite female vocal
I've ever heard on this show.
- Oh, wow!
- I was tearing up.
- Yes!
- Last week we said
seahorse was giving you
a run for your money,
but you just clapped back, sis.
- Yes!
- The women are on fire this season.
Yes!
Wow. All right, well,
I got a feeling this is clue time.
- Ooh.
- Here comes the drone with more secrets.
- You hear it?
- Where's the drone?
Could it bring me some
chili fries while it's at it?
There it is.
Bring it right here.
- Right here, drone.
- Ah.
Nice!
Oh, it's an eight ball.
Hit him. Oh, you missed.
The number eight.
Will this magic eight ball
help you conjure up my identity?
Outlook not so hot.
Outlook not so hot.
Oh, well, that clears it up.
That doing anything
for anybody up there?
Maybe a little.
Previously I said demi lovato.
- Yeah.
- She voiced a main character in "charming"
with a song called "magical."
and then one of demi lovato's
shows was "sonny with a chance."
get it? "'sonny' with a chance."
- oh, there it is.
- But I was also thinking
mandy moore was
in the movie "tangled."
ooh, could be. The personality of
mandy moore is very sunshine, yeah.
Right? And she also
has a single called "candy"
- and we saw a candy cane.
- Well, I'm still convinced that it's someone else,
and I'm going to double down on your
guess last time of katharine mcphee.
- Ooh.
- And I'll tell you why from some of the clues.
If she was on "american idol,"
she could have sang "rumors."
she could have sang
"ray of light."
she could have sang "landslide."
and her personality traits,
the way she's
responding to our jokes,
I've seen her
on "american idol,"
and I'm seeing some similarities
in the body language.
And there's a lot
of musical references
with "into the woods"
and "the wiz."
- and she did star in "waitress."
- that's right.
But I don't know if you all
caught that the sun
- was walking under a wood.
- Uh-huh.
- Carrie underwood.
- Oh!
- Yeah, there it is.
- Oh! Yes!
- Yes.
- And carrie underwood can "sang."
- she can. You're right.
- And she's got pipes like that as well.
That's pretty good, nicole.
Vocally, you could be right.
But you know what's weird?
Dirty feet.
I'm still stuck on that.
She's country. They like to get,
you know, down and dirty.
- Who? I mean...
- Not like that.
I don't know why I moved like...
- I know! Why are you...
- It's the outfit.
They're so big.
She's moves like
michael keaton in "batman."
where she's like, "yes? What?"
well, you know what I'm most
excited about is to look at social media
to see how wrong we all are
from everybody.
Well, one thing we do know,
it was an outstanding
performance.
You guys, make some noise
for the amazing sun.
These are the panel's
guesses for the sun.
Who do you think it is?
- All right.
- Popcorn's performance had the judges falling for her,
and the giraffe brought
that energy.
The snow owls had the panel
throwing out the names
of every couple within
500 miles of nashville...
- Right?
- ...Before the sun brought everyone to tears.
So, studio audience, panel,
and our superfans at home,
time to vote for your favorite.
This is hard, guys.
The people have spoken.
Only three can advance
to the group a finals
with the hopes of ultimately
making it into our super six.
- Here we go.
- Scary, scary, scary!
The singer
headed home tonight is...
Oh!
Who's getting unmasked?
The votes are in.
Scary, scary!
The singer
headed home tonight is...
- The giraffe.
- Oh, no, giraffe!
Ladies and gentlemen,
keep it going for the giraffe.
- Giraffe!
- The rest of you, congrats.
We'll see you all in a few weeks
for the group a finals.
Come on down here, giraffe.
He was an incredible challenger.
Mr. Giraffe, with the good
comes the bad.
The bad, of course,
is you have to unmask.
But the good is
we learn who you are.
But first, men in black,
bring out the panelists'
first impression guesses...
- You know what? You don't have to do that.
- ...From the vault.
- Honestly...
- No!
We don't need to do that, nick.
Maybe we cut this part out
of the episode.
Now, if your first impression
guess is correct,
- that's how you win.
- You know what? I just...
Well, ken,
your first impression guess for the giraffe
- was will.I.Am.
- Oh, my god. Ken?
Because it was a black
eyed peas song and then...
- will.I.Am?
- Just stop it. Shut up, robin.
- It was just like...
- so do you want to stick with that?
No, I'm not sticking with that.
Clearly this is shia labeouf.
I stole it from nicole,
but I stand by it.
Nicole explained
he had a tattoo of a giraffe.
- Yep.
- The life-altering mention in the package
refers to the unfortunate
car accident that he had.
And he also mentioned in
the clue package "big picture."
"transformers" was a big picture
that I had a part in.
- Oh, boy.
- No? No high-five?
All right, well, nicole?
- Okay.
- Dale earnhardt, jr.
Yes. And I'm sticking
with dale earnhardt, jr.
- Really?
- Because of all the car crash clues, okay?
Then, "world crashing down,"
dale and his family actually
survived a plane crash.
- Wow.
- Yes. But this...
This is why I tied it all back
to dale earnhardt, jr.
Tell us. Bring it home, nicole.
Because of
the onstage clue today,
the number eight domino
to reflect the number
of his car that he drives,
- number eight.
- Yeah!
- I like it.
- All right, nicole.
Dale earnhardt, jr., everyone.
Jenny, your first
impression guess...
- Oh.
- Travis barker.
- You know, that's not bad. It's not bad.
- It's great.
I'll give myself a little bit
of a tap on the shoulder
even though
I don't think I'm right.
I made a ha-ha to myself
because I put down seth green
- when I saw that green apple.
- Ooh.
But there are more clues
for him.
Seth has a show on fox...
"family guy."
and he's not the tallest,
but maybe that's why
he wanted to be the giraffe.
- I'm changing my guess to seth green.
- That's not bad.
Robin's first impression guess
was jaleel white.
- Did he do that?
- Yeah. I went with urkel.
- You went with urkel?
- Oh, my gosh.
I don't know, man.
But now I'm changing my mind.
Clues about drummed up,
crash and burn.
In the clues this week,
it was "blink of an eye."
but I'll tell you what
really gave it away to me.
Travis and I
performed on the grammys
a few years ago together.
And I know his posture,
I know the way he walks.
He holds his head very high.
I think jenny was right.
- I think it's travis barker.
- I really hope so.
Mr. Joel mchale,
would you like to make a final guess?
Okay, so I'm not very good
at collecting clues.
That's why I'm not a detective.
I'm an actor.
I kept seeing fox
and then a crash.
But now I'm gonna go back to
one of the founders of fox
and their show "90210."
and jason priestley
had a big car accident
in a race, in a car race,
so I think it's jason priestley.
- That's pretty good.
- That's a nice guess.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Are you guys ready?
- Yes, please!
- We're ready.
Let's see if any of you
are even close.
It's the moment
we've all been waiting for.
It's time for the giraffe to...
take it off! Take it off!
♪ Who are you?
♪ Who, who, who, who

brian austin green!

- You were the closest!
You got a green right. My man!
You guys were all so close,
but so far.
Wait, you guys have no idea.
He was at my...
Wait, wait, wait! No, no, no!
Before you start.
- Oh, my god.
- You were the robin on my shoulder in the package.
- Oh, my god, robin!
- Oh, my god.
- That was you.
- This is his friend and neighbor.
- How do you not know your own homeboy?
- No, you don't understand.
We were best friends
as teenagers.
I used to go to the "90210"
set with him all the time.
I love you. I can't believe that's you. Oh,
my god.
Robin and I had a group when
we were kids called think twice.
Think twice? Hold on.
We gotta talk about this.
- Think twice?
- So, you guys were like the white kris kross.
- Absolutely. Absolutely.
- Totally!
So, what's this entire experience
been like for you being a giraffe?
It's been fun.
It's been a really good time.
I've loved messing with ken.
We've never met before,
but you talk way too much.
- Oh, man.
- Can I ask what the peaches were about?
What do you mean what the
peaches were about? The peach pit.
- Peach pit! Oh! On the show.
- Oh, my god.
So when you were saying
megan fox,
I was like,
"oh, man. He's on to it."
oh, right!
So it was the megan connection
was the "transformers"
connection.
- Megan.
- Ah.
- Man, one more time...
- Thank you, everyone.
...For brian austin green.
Great job.
Joel, of course,
thank you again.
- Boo! Boo!

masked heroes return

And now, ladies and gentlemen,
