Wow! What a way
to start the show!
Nicole Scherzinger, everybody!
- Amazing! Amazing!
- What's up, family?
Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy.
Y'all give it up for Nicole.
Y'all head on up there.
It's Hall of Fame Night here
at "The Masked Singer,"
and tonight we are celebrating
the best of the best
- with three new contestants!
- Robin: Whoo!
Yeah. They're each already
in a prestigious hall of fame.
But are they talented enough
to join the Harp and Lambs
in the semifinals?
- Whoo!
- We gonna see.
Unfortunately,
I have some bad news.
- Jenny: Oh, no.
- Nicole: What?
Ken can't be here tonight.
- What?
- No!
Nick: I know.
So who y'all gonna boo?
Y'all ain't got nobody to boo.
- No!
- But I do have some good news.
We have a star replacement
from the social media
hall of fame
and Fox's "Call Me Kat."
Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for Leslie Jordan!
Whoo! Leslie J!
Whoo!
Whoo!
- Nick: I love this man.
- Leslie!
Thank you for coming back!
Yeah, I seldom
get invited back anywhere,
so it's exciting.
Well, you ready to go hang out
up over there with the panel?
Yes, I am. Let's do it!
Y'all keep it going
for my man, Leslie Jordan.
Come on down!
So let's get into it.
Give it up for the singer
celebrating the biggest day
of their life.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's the Bride.
♪ Oh, girls just
wanna have fun ♪
- Oh, cute!
- Jenny: Oh, my God!
- What is that?
- I don't know what to say.
She looks beautiful?
Or scary?
- Athletic, I think.
- Athletic. Thank you, Robin.
♪ Girls just wanna have fun
She's strong.
Nick: Talk about a Bridezilla.
All right, all right.
I love you, too.
- Nick, Nick, Nick!
- What? What is going on now?
- Oh!
- Nick!
- Oh, my God, Joel McHale.
- No way!
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's TV's Joel McHale
from "Crime Scene Kitchen."
Is there a reason
why you came out here
with the Bride?
Hi. Anyway, have you seen--
has anybody seen Ken?
- All: No!
- That's what we wanna know.
All right,
look under your chairs.
He's standing full height.
He might be naked.
I don't know where he is.
Nick: Well, you're one
of his best frenemies.
So can you stay?
Are you hanging out?
Are you here or...
I will-- guys,
I'll do you a solid.
- I'll stay, okay? I'll stay.
- Yes!
- Let's do it. Let's do it.
- That's Ken's jacket.
Good luck.
Okay, here we go.
- Jenny: Come on, Joel!
- Nick: Joel McHale.
Thank you.
Nick: Don't know
what I'm doing with this.
So back to the show.
I propose we see
what the Bride's all about.
Dearly beloved,
we're gathered here today
for a Hall of Fame Night
that I vow to rock.
Oh, there's a rose.
Rose McGowan?
I'm always telling
feel-good stories,
but let me explain
how I ended up here alone
at this junkyard wedding.
Globe. Maybe somebody
who's been on a world tour.
I have a rugged personality.
I live on the road
selling out arenas
and I have an appetite
for destroying things.
( roars, laughs maniacally )
So, I'm notorious for being in
some of the messiest feuds.
I've gone a solo route,
but I've come here to master--
master a new commitment with
all you "Masked Singer" freaks.
So tonight,
here comes the bride.
( roars )
♪ Don't you dare look back,
keep your eyes on me ♪
Wait, is that a guy?
♪ I said,
"You're holding back" ♪
♪ She said,
"Shut up and dance with me" ♪
What? It's a guy!
♪ This woman is my destiny
♪ She said, "Oh, whoa!
♪ Shut up and dance with me"
Come on, clap your hands!
Okay, not only is it a dude.
It's a rock dude.
♪ We were victims of the night
♪ A physical,
chemical oversight ♪
♪ Dancing by the noon
and the faded light ♪
♪ Oh, we were bound
to be together ♪
♪ Bound to be together, yeah!
♪ She took my arm
♪ I don't know how it happened
♪ She took the floor and said
♪ "Don't you dare
look back ♪
♪ Keep your eyes on me"
♪ I said,
"You're holding back" ♪
♪ She said,
"Shut up and dance with me" ♪
♪ This woman is my destiny
♪ She said, "Oh, whoa!
Shut up and dance with me,
Leslie!
Are you having
a good time tonight?
Oh, he went British.
He said 'ello.
- Right.
There's little accent.
- 'Ey!
♪ Don't you dare look back
♪ Keep your eyes on me
♪ I said,
"You're holding back" ♪

- I see you dancing, Jenny!
- Oh, my God!
Come on!
♪ "Oh, whoa!
♪ Shut up and dance with me!"
Yeah!
- Oh, my gosh.
- Wow. That was fun.
That was amazingly unexpected.
You're hitting me
with your dragon tail.
- Hey, Nick.
- Hey.
- 'Ello, love.
- You know, I gotta tell you,
that's one thing
I love about this show
is that you are
always surprised, you know?
I thought you were a female
before you opened your mouth,
and I was pleasantly surprised
because you sound
like a real rock star.
- Robin: Yeah.
- I'm bringing
Tyrannosaurus Rexy
- back tonight, baby!
- Oh, oh.
Nick: Indeed, indeed.
Tonight is
the Hall of Fame Night.
All three contestants are GOATs
in their own field.
Now with an onstage clue
straight from his own field,
please welcome another GOAT.
If it's Ken, I'm gonna be mad.
( fanfare )
- ( bleats )
- ( crowd cheering )
Jenny: No way! Look!
Nicole: Oh, my God!
- He's so cute.
- ( bleats )
Nick:
The Greatest Of All Time.
Jenny:
That is hilarious.
A true GOAT.
Here's the clue, panel.
Let's focus.
The medal actually says
"Action Hero."
Oh!
I'm a take action kind of bride,
and I have no problem
playing the hero,
amongst other things.
- That clears it up.
- Right?
That didn't help
you guys at all?
- No.
- I mean, when we saw
the clue on stage,
"Action Star,"
I was immediately thinking like,
oh, my gosh,
is it Jean-Claude Van Damme?
- Or, like, Steven Segal?
- Yes.
- But then I hear
a bit of an accent.
- Oh, my God.
- Do you guys--
Are there any English...
- All: Yeah.
...rock star-like action heroes?
Nicole, I don't believe--
I think that accent is fake.
- I do, too.
- Nicole: Really?
Yeah, I think
he's putting it on.
But he was hitting some
crazy stratospheric notes.
There was a snake pin,
rock and roll clues,
and that British accent.
I think that this could be
David Coverdale
from "Whitesnake."
Like, a real rocker.
Robin:
Could be. Could be.
But we saw selling arenas,
and also there was something
about destruction, right?
- Yeah.
- Something breaking,
and he's known for
breaking stuff onstage.
And the last clue
that really gave it to me
was the globe
with the crown on top.
- Carrots on top.
- ( gasps )
- I think it's Carrot Top.
- Oh, wow.
I don't think Carrot Top
can hit those notes.
♪ I'm going with Carrot Top
Jenny: Listen,
even though Ken's not here
you don't have to do
Ken-like answers.
"I know exactly who this is!"
You'll be wearing this coat
very soon.
"I was on 'The Hangover'!"
Whoever you are,
you did an amazing job
and you've got us stumped.
- Nick: There it is.
- All right!
Keep it going for the Bride.
What a reception!
- Yeah!
- Yes!
You can stomp on back
to your lair.
Whoo!
Nick: Here comes the Bride!
It's "The Masked Singer," y'all.

- Kind of tall.
- ♪ Like a rhinestone cowboy
Set it off for the Gopher.
Look who's popping up.
This Gopher is
an intergalactic space cowboy
who earned his rightful spot
in the Hall of Fame.
I used my out of this world
imagination
to start a movement.
Started a movement?
That's big.
It is Hall of Fame Night, Jenny.
And blazed new trails
down many old town roads.
And you wanna know
something wild?
My spaceship was placed
in the ultimate hall of fame,
the Smithsonian.
Not bad for
a party rocking doctor.
Now the doctors
copy my method,
and even dogs want to be part
of my legacy.
A glowing dog.
Cesar Millan.
But no matter how many people
sample my flavor,
I'm here to show everyone
I'm the ultimate OG--
Original Gopher.

Nick: It's the Gopher!
- That was awesome.
- Go, Gopher!
All: Go, Gopher!
Go, Gopher!
Go, Gopher!
Go, Gopher! Go, Gopher!
That was so much fun, and that
voice sounds very familiar
to me,
but I don't know who it is.
That's an iconic voice.
That's an OG right there
- ain't it, Nick?
- Nick: That's an OG up in here.
The Gopher,
can't spell Gopher without OG.
Gopher, I love you so much.
You are one of my absolute
favorite contestants
this whole entire season.
Leslie: We all grew up
with that voice.
I can't place it though.
Yeah, it's iconic.
Yeah, I think
it's Carol Burnett.
So it sounds like
we need some clues, right?
Jenny: Yeah, we need some clues!
- Nicole: Yes!
- Joel: Yeah.
Nick:
Miss, can you grab that medal
right off of the goat, please?
Do not feed the live prop!
- What's your name?
- Crystal.
Give it up for Crystal, y'all.
Brave Crystal.
What does it say, Nick?
"LOL."
Laugh out loud?
A comedian?
- Ooh.
- Oh!
Well, I guess I've
been known to be funny.
You've danced to
some of my jokes,
but ain't nothing funny
about this Gopher game.
Nick: So did that help
you guys out at all?
Well, you know, Nick,
he said comedian.
Won a Grammy.
LOL, he's funny.
Maybe like a Martin Lawrence.
I don't know if Martin Lawrence
won a Grammy.
But Martin Lawrence
could play any character
- and throw his voice.
- ( jeering )
Nick: Oh, they giving you
the Ken treatment.
All right, any other guesses?
Leslie, what you got?
Oh, you guys, I literally
have no idea who this is,
but I'm gonna
put out some names.
Flavor Flav.
Flavor Flav?
Little Nas.
Little Nas X.
All of a sudden, Carol Burnett
guess doesn't look so bad.
Jenny:
Well, who do you think it is?
All right, listen,
I'm gonna do a Ken Jeong
impression and go...
"I know exactly who this is."
He said he is known
to be funny.
Smithsonian, classic,
like Richard Pryor, right?
Exactly. Like Redd Foxx.
That's why
this is George Wallace.
Robin: Okay. All right.
- I thought that, too,
for a second.
- I like that.
Not bad.
The audience did not
hate that, Joel.
Thank you, audience,
and you don't look ridiculous
in those hats.
Robin:
I got something going on here
because he said
about doctors and dogs
sampled his flavor,
so when I think of Dr. Dre,
Snoop Dogg...
I see where you're going.
Robin:
...somebody who famously
does not come out.
Only came out 20 years ago
for an award show.
Could this be the legend
Sly Stone?
- Ooh. Okay.
- Jenny: Yes!
This would be TV history!
That would be amazing.
Robin: One other name
that it could be though,
"sampled my flavor."
And then the last one was space,
space cowboys.
I think this could be
the funkadelic parliament,
Mr. George Clinton.
- If this is him,
I bow down before you!
- Come on!
That's a great guess.
Yeah!
Nick: I agree.
The tone sounds similar.
Only thing I would say,
Robin...
- Robin: Is his smell funky?
- Not funky enough.
- It ain't funky enough.
- It's not funky enough!
It ain't funky enough.
Maybe when he takes off
the Gopher head,
it's gonna smell funky enough.
Well, this is one
of the greatest of all time.
We know that.
It's Hall of Fame Night.
So go ahead, Gopher,
you can dig your way
back to the lair,
and we'll see you pretty soon
for the first big vote.
That's so cool.
Ha!
You could just tell his swag.
- Yo, he had to sit on a diamond
encrusted situation...
- Right?
...and one of the Men In Black
was fanning him.
You know that's somebody huge.
It is Hall of Fame Night, Jenny.
For sure.

I think this is a tall guy.
Yeah, it's a tall person.
Wow, look at that costume,
y'all.
Becoming a Hall of Famer
isn't easy,
but I've done it twice.
Orion's Belt?
Maybe somebody in a space movie
or space TV show?
The first time
was in my twenties.
Nobody thought I could
do it again in my 40s,
but I went down as one
of the best in history.
I didn't stop there.
My greatest hit came
in the next decade of my life,
and I guarantee
every single one of you
has had a piece of me
in your home at some point.
Horseshoe and a giant forehead.
It's Colts' Peyton Manning.
So tonight this all-star king
of reinvention
is stepping back up
to the plate with a performance
that's sure to earn a spot
in the "Masked Singer"
Hall of Fame.

Oh, my gosh.
I love you so hard, Fly Trap.
Nick, this is my favorite
costume of the entire season.
- Come on, guys.
- Yes.
- Nicole: This is brilliant.
- Nick: It's so amazing.
- I mean, it must be so hard
to perform in that.
- Right?
Aw, this comes real easy.
All right, well,
we need some clues, right?
We do!
Bring out the clues.
Joel: Nah, I'm fine.
I don't know what this coat
is doing to me,
- but I know exactly
who that is.
- Oh, no.
Aw, ha, ha!
Carol Burnett.
Ha, ha!
Who told you?
Who told you?
Who told you?
- All right, well,
let's welcome back the GOAT.
- Hey!
( fanfare )
Oh, my God. The GOAT!
Nicole, from one GOAT
to another GOAT,
do you wanna go meet Hawkeye?
Yeah, come on.
Thanks, Nick.
Nick: Go head on.
Nick, I saw this goat
checking me out backstage.
So it's time
to return the favor.
Nick: There it is.
Thank you. Hi!
You know, this isn't--
can I, uh-huh, oh.
Oh, he has no interest in me.
That's okay.
Nick: Such a beautiful,
beautiful GOAT.
- Call me.
- Nick: Hawkeye.
- Y'all make some noise
for Hawkeye the GOAT.
- Hawkeye.
Jenny: I can't believe
it took us eight seasons
to bring out farm animals
on this show.
I'm your Vanna White
to your Pat Sajak.
Thank you.
Nicole, then bring me
a vowel, baby.
You have to buy it, Jenny.
Okay, the clue says,
"One Hundred Million."
- Jenny: What?
- Nicole: Ooh,
one hundred million.
Ah, always believe
in yourself.
I did.
I took the punches,
I took the blows,
and look at me now.
- Punches, blows?
- I'm a big Venus Fly Trap.
He's a boxer.
Nick: Leslie, what you got?
Well, I saw Orion's Belt.
A belt, maybe like a fighter.
- Yeah.
- Ooh.
Leslie: Yeah, and this is
a Hall of Fame Night,
so I think this could be
- Hall of Fame boxer Mike Tyson.
- ( jeering )
Oh, hush!
He's had a long career!
Nicole: Yes, he has.
But what about someone like
the king of reinvention
like Bo Jackson.
- ( laughing )
- He's--
- He's laughing.
They like it.
- He's laughing at your guess.
- They laugh when I'm right.
- Joel: Oh.
That's not bad.
Look, Nick, if I'm going off
of the gold medal, right?
Them dollars and them vocals,
I'm thinking
it's an NBA player.
( laughing )
- Nicole: Okay?
- Jenny: See?
Venus likes that.
Someone who has won the
Olympics, maybe Charles Barkley?
( laughing )
We all don't know, okay?
Robin: Okay,
you guys are all wrong.
He was a fighter.
He was successful
in his twenties and his forties,
but when it says his biggest
hit was a decade later,
that would be
the George Foreman Grill.
- Yes!
- ( Venus Fly Trap laughing )
Robin: That's George Foreman.
And he said, "You had a piece
of me at your home."
That's 'cause we all had
a George Foreman Grill
at one point.
- Yup.
- Oh!
That would make sense
for the one hundred million.
- Nicole: That's pretty good.
- Nick: There it is.
Oh, that was good!
That was really good.
That is a good guess,
and it seems the audience
loves it,
and we loved that performance!
Y'all keep it going
for the Venus Fly Trap!
Snack on some flies backstage.
Oh, yeah, get ready.
We see three
outstanding performances,
and we've heard from the panel.
Now, studio audience,
it's time for you to vote
for your favorite.
The results and our first
unmasking of the night
when we come back.
You have to think Hall of Fame.
We could be dealing
with some of our biggest stars
and names we've ever had
on this show.
- I mean, that's why
I'm here tonight.
- Yes.
- You're welcome.
- Yeah.
♪ Who is that?
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back
to "The Masked Singer"
Hall of Fame Night.
Is the honeymoon over
for the monster-talented Bride?
Is he one and done,
or is there light
at the end of the tunnel
for the Gopher?
Gopher! I dig it!
Or did the Venus Fly Trap
make a meal of it?
We are about to see.
Leaving us tonight
and unmasking first is...
Oh!
Oh, my God!
It's driving me crazy.
The Venus Fly Trap.
Jenny: Aw!
- Nick: Y'all show some love
to the Venus Fly Trap...
- No!
Bride and Gopher,
head on back to the lair.
Get in your zone
because you're heading
into the Battle Royale.
Show some love, y'all.
We are so sorry
to see you go,
but can't wait
to see who you are.
Panel, it's time
for your final guesses.
What you got?
Who wants to go first?
Jenny: Well, he said
king of reinvention.
Played NFL, played baseball,
I think this is Bo Jackson!
Hello, Bo!
- Bo knows.
- Robin: Bo knows.
Nick: Bo definitely knows.
Nicole, what you got?
I mean, I saw the horseshoe.
It could be
for their big old feet.
I think it's an NBA player.
I think this could be
the legendary Charles Barkley,
y'all!
That's a good one. C Bark.
Wow, the audience
is hard on us today.
Nick: Oh, wow, they're hard
on you on that one.
They like Bo Jackson
better than that one.
Leslie, what you got?
I'm thinking as a clue,
"piece of me in your home,"
Orion's Belt in space,
this could be
boxer Mike Tyson.
- All right!
- Oh, yeah,
because he said the blows.
- Nick: That's a great hunch.
- Good guess.
"A piece of me,"
biting off ears.
That's good.
Robin: Biting. Yup. Yup.
That's great, Leslie.
What are you thinking, Joel?
I think this guy was
a huge movie star in the '80s,
and then he got nominated for
the Oscar for "The Wrestler."
That's why I'm gonna go back
because he needs redemption
after being the Gremlin,
it is Mickey Rourke again.
- Jenny: Oh, my God!
- Robin: Yeah!
We love you, Mickey!
We love you!
- Yeah, and there we go.
- Mickey!
It's starting to feel like
Ken's back in the room, y'all.
It's starting to feel
like Ken's back.
Nick: Robin, what you got?
Okay, so the real clue was
"in my twenties,
and I was successful
in my forties again,
and then I had my biggest hit
a decade later."
I think one of the most famous
heavyweight boxers of all time.
I think this is George Foreman.
- Jenny: I love that guess!
- Nicole: That would be amazing.
And I believe the final clue
that said "one hundred million"
is how many grills
George Foreman actually sold.
I owned one.
I owned one.
- I have one.
- Nick: A hundred
million grills.
I bought a second one
when I lost the first one.
Jenny:
Me, too. Me, too.
Understood.
Well, panel, you've given
your final guesses.
So you ready to see
who this is?
- Let's see who it is!
- Yeah!
- Come on, George!
- Come on!

Ladies and gentlemen,
make some noise
for the two-time heavyweight
champion of the world,
Olympic Gold Medalist,
Boxing Hall of Famer,
and an amazing entrepreneur,
Mr. George Foreman!
- Yes!
- Nick: The Champ is here!
Whoo!
Mr. Foreman,
why in the world did you
come on "The Masked Singer?"
- The greatest show on Earth.
- Robin: Yeah!
That's George Foreman
saying that.
- Jenny: Oh!
- Nicole: That's right.
It was a lot of fun.
All of a sudden now I wanna go
into the recording industry.
As you should!
I need a hit record now.
Yeah, Robin, write this man
a hit record ASAP.
Oh, yeah, I need one myself,
but right after I have one,
I'll send one to you.
I'm a huge fan, and we all know
there are very few human beings
who can continue to fight
at the highest level
into their forties
and that was quite
an accomplishment.
What is the secret
to your success, sir?
The George Foreman, lean, mean,
fat-reducing Grill machine.
- Let's go!
Let's go!
- I love it!
- I'm gonna go buy some!
- Nick: Okay!
- That's right! That's right!
- Here!
Joel wants one right now.
I would like to buy one.
We've had a lot
of unbelievable legends
on this show,
but I think this is
the loudest audience reaction
- we've ever had on this show.
- Jenny: Yes!
The champ is in the building!
It has been an absolute pleasure
having you with us, champ.
Go ahead and go get changed
and we'll see you hanging out
with us in the VIP section.
Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time,
George Foreman!
Whoo!

That was freaking awesome,
you guys.
- That was amazing.
- I love the way you guys--
Yeah, exactly.
You each performed it
your own way
and Bride, you wanna win,
don't you?
- Yeah.
- Jenny: He brought some energy
and A-game
into this performance.
You were awesome!
But we had that OG swag of
the Gopher too, setting it off.
Whoo.
- He's so cool, Nick!
- Aw, yeah!
- Nicole: He's so cool!
- Nick: Indeed, indeed.
I know who that gopher is,
but I don't know.
And Bride, you're little like
me, I can tell, little.
You can tell?
Yeah, just little like me.
- Really?
- Uh-huh.
- All right.
- I may be wrong.
Don't feel bad.
They're usually wrong.
- Yeah, that's true.
- We're always wrong.
All right, panel, well,
their fate is in your hands.
Your votes will decide
who takes the crown
and who takes a private jet
up out of here.
It's so hard to say
goodbye so soon.
We'll have the dramatic results

right after the break.
Sheila E, take us out!
Get it, Joel. Get it, Joel.
Get it, Joel.
Yes, Leslie!

( whistling )
The king or queen
of "Masked Singer" is...
Who is it?
The Bride!
- Judges: Oh!
- The Bride!
Congratulations, Bride.
You are one step closer
to the Golden Mask Trophy.
Head on back to your lair.
Give it up for the Bride.
And keep showing that love
for the Gopher.
We hate to see you go,
but we can't wait to see
who you are.
Panel, you know what time it is.
It's time to guess.
Yes, it's for
your final guesses, please.
Leslie?
You know, in the clues,
he said the word "flavor."
He also said Grammy,
and he's been nominated.
This is Flavor Flav!
I love it.
Joel, what you got?
Because of the LOL
and the '70s,
I still think it is comedian,
George Wallace.
No. Even Sheila E was like,
"That's whack."
Nick: Jenny?
Jenny: I was also
thinking comedian,
but he can sing.
So I'm thinking old school,
R&B Hall of Famer.
Bootsy Collins.
Oh, Sheila,
what were you gonna say?
No, nuh-uh.
Nick: Bootsy's
a little taller, right?
All right,
Robin, what you got?
The thing that got me
in the clue packages
the sample my flavor and
other doctors copy my method.
I was thinking this has to be
one of the greatest producers
or record makers of all time
who has been sampled
by the new generation.
I definitely think
this is George Clinton.
All right. Nicole?
Nicole: I am picking up
whatever Robin
has been putting down.
- Look, we saw the dog, y'all.
- Yeah.
♪ Atomic dog
I said, ♪ Bow wow wow
yippie yo, yippie yay ♪
I think it's the one and only

is correct.

We got two Hall of Famers
Georges on tonight.
We love it.
Tell me, man,
what was it like being inside
that Gopher costume?
Man, it's hot as hell in this,
but I'm cool, y'all.
We saw you's cool strutting
the whole time with the Gopher.
- Yes!
- We love it, man,
and you had so much fun on here.

"The Masked Singer?"
Man, y'all always having

- I got some.

- Thank you, guys.
Aw, man, obviously your music
has inspired so many of us
and still does today.
That's the thing.
When you-- when you...
- I like this guy.
- Hey, facts. That's real.
When you are an original,
from your stage shows
to the music that comes out
of the speakers by itself,
nothing else feels
and sounds like it.
The Mothership.
I'm just freaking out
'cause we got George Clinton
and we got Sheila E...
- And George Foreman.
- Robin: What?
I'm so glad Ken's missing
'cause I get to say I was
in the room with you guys, so.
Yeah, and it's been such
a joy having you here.
Let's give it up one more time
for the Gopher.

It's Hall of Fame Night here
at "The Masked Singer,"
and tonight we are celebrating
the best of the best
- with three new contestants!
- Robin: Whoo!
Yeah. They're each already
in a prestigious hall of fame.
But are they talented enough
to join the Harp and Lambs
in the semifinals?
- Whoo!
- We gonna see.
Unfortunately,
I have some bad news.
- Jenny: Oh, no.
- Nicole: What?
Ken can't be here tonight.
- What?
- No!
Nick: I know.
So who y'all gonna boo?
Y'all ain't got nobody to boo.
- No!
- But I do have some good news.
We have a star replacement
from the social media
hall of fame
and Fox's "Call Me Kat."
Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for Leslie Jordan!
Whoo! Leslie J!
Whoo!
Whoo!
- Nick: I love this man.
- Leslie!
Thank you for coming back!
Yeah, I seldom
get invited back anywhere,
so it's exciting.
Well, you ready to go hang out
up over there with the panel?
Yes, I am. Let's do it!
Y'all keep it going
for my man, Leslie Jordan.
Come on down!
So let's get into it.
Give it up for the singer
celebrating the biggest day
of their life.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's the Bride.
♪ Oh, girls just
wanna have fun ♪
- Oh, cute!

- What? What is going on now?
- Oh!
- Nick!
- Oh, my God, Joel McHale.
- No way!
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's TV's Joel McHale
from "Crime Scene Kitchen."
Is there a reason
why you came out here
with the Bride?
Hi. Anyway, have you seen--
has anybody seen Ken?
- All: No!
- That's what we wanna know.
All right,
look under your chairs.
He's standing full height.
He might be naked.
I don't know where he is.
Nick: Well, you're one
of his best frenemies.
So can you stay?
Are you hanging out?
Are you here or...
I will-- guys,
I'll do you a solid.
- I'll stay, okay? I'll stay.
- Yes!
- Let's do it. Let's do it.
- That's Ken's jacket.
Good luck.
Okay, here we go.
- Jenny: Come on, Joel!
- Nick: Joel McHale.
Thank you.
Nick: Don't know
what I'm doing with this.
So back to the show.
I propose we see
what the Bride's all about.
Dearly beloved,
we're gathered here today
for a Hall of Fame Night
that I vow to rock.
Oh, there's a rose.
Rose McGowan?
I'm always telling
feel-good stories,
but let me explain
how I ended up here alone
at this junkyard wedding.
Globe. Maybe somebody
who's been on a world tour.
I have a rugged personality.
I live on the road
selling out arenas
and I have an appetite
for destroying things.
( roars, laughs maniacally )
So, I'm notorious for being in
some of the messiest feuds.
I've gone a solo route,
but I've come here to master--
master a new commitment with
all you "Masked Singer" freaks.
So tonight,
here comes the bride.

- You know, I gotta tell you,
that's one thing
I love about this show
is that you are
always surprised, you know?

before you opened your mouth,
and I was pleasantly surprised
because you sound
like a real rock star.
- Robin: Yeah.
- I'm bringing
Tyrannosaurus Rexy
- back tonight, baby!
- Oh, oh.
Nick: Indeed, indeed.
Tonight is
the Hall of Fame Night.
All three contestants are GOATs
in their own field.
Now with an onstage clue
straight from his own field,
please welcome another GOAT.
If it's Ken, I'm gonna be mad.
( fanfare )
- ( bleats )
- ( crowd cheering )
Jenny: No way! Look!
Nicole: Oh, my God!
- He's so cute.
- ( bleats )
Nick:
The Greatest Of All Time.
Jenny:
That is hilarious.
A true GOAT.
Here's the clue, panel.
Let's focus.
The medal actually says
"Action Hero."
Oh!
I'm a take action kind of bride,
and I have no problem
playing the hero,
amongst other things.
- That clears it up.
- Right?
That didn't help
you guys at all?
- No.
- I mean, when we saw
the clue on stage,
"Action Star,"
I was immediately thinking like,
oh, my gosh,
is it Jean-Claude Van Damme?
- Or, like, Steven Segal?
- Yes.
- But then I hear
a bit of an accent.
- Oh, my God.
- Do you guys--
Are there any English...
- All: Yeah.
...rock star-like action heroes?
Nicole, I don't believe--
I think that accent is fake.
- I do, too.
- Nicole: Really?
Yeah, I think
he's putting it on.
But he was hitting some
crazy stratospheric notes.
There was a snake pin,
rock and roll clues,
and that British accent.
I think that this could be
David Coverdale
from "Whitesnake."
Like, a real rocker.
Robin:
Could be. Could be.
But we saw selling arenas,
and also there was something
about destruction, right?
- Yeah.
- Something breaking,
and he's known for
breaking stuff onstage.
And the last clue
that really gave it to me
was the globe
with the crown on top.
- Carrots on top.
- ( gasps )
- I think it's Carrot Top.
- Oh, wow.
I don't think Carrot Top
can hit those notes.
♪ I'm going with Carrot Top
Jenny: Listen,
even though Ken's not here
you don't have to do
Ken-like answers.
"I know exactly who this is!"
You'll be wearing this coat
very soon.
"I was on 'The Hangover'!"
Whoever you are,
you did an amazing job
and you've got us stumped.
- Nick: There it is.
- All right!
Keep it going for the Bride.
What a reception!
- Yeah!

That was so much fun, and that

to me,
but I don't know who it is.
That's an iconic voice.
That's an OG right there
- ain't it, Nick?
- Nick: That's an OG up in here.
The Gopher,
can't spell Gopher without OG.
Gopher, I love you so much.
You are one of my absolute
favorite contestants
this whole entire season.
Leslie: We all grew up
with that voice.
I can't place it though.
Yeah, it's iconic.
Yeah, I think
it's Carol Burnett.
So it sounds like
we need some clues, right?
Jenny: Yeah, we need some clues!

Nick:
Miss, can you grab that medal
right off of the goat, please?
Do not feed the live prop!
- What's your name?
- Crystal.
Give it up for Crystal, y'all.
Brave Crystal.
What does it say, Nick?
"LOL."
Laugh out loud?
A comedian?
- Ooh.
- Oh!
Well, I guess I've
been known to be funny.
You've danced to
some of my jokes,
but ain't nothing funny
about this Gopher game.
Nick: So did that help
you guys out at all?
Well, you know, Nick,
he said comedian.
Won a Grammy.
LOL, he's funny.
Maybe like a Martin Lawrence.
I don't know if Martin Lawrence
won a Grammy.
But Martin Lawrence
could play any character
- and throw his voice.

Nick: Oh, they giving you
the Ken treatment.
All right, any other guesses?
Leslie, what you got?
Oh, you guys, I literally
have no idea who this is,
but I'm gonna
put out some names.
Flavor Flav.
Flavor Flav?
Little Nas.
Little Nas X.
All of a sudden, Carol Burnett
guess doesn't look so bad.
Jenny:
Well, who do you think it is?
All right, listen,
I'm gonna do a Ken Jeong
impression and go...
"I know exactly who this is."
He said he is known
to be funny.
Smithsonian, classic,
like Richard Pryor, right?
Exactly. Like Redd Foxx.
That's why
this is George Wallace.
Robin: Okay. All right.
- I thought that, too,
for a second.
- I like that.
Not bad.
The audience did not
hate that, Joel.
Thank you, audience,
and you don't look ridiculous
in those hats.
Robin:
I got something going on here
because he said
about doctors and dogs
sampled his flavor,
so when I think of Dr. Dre,
Snoop Dogg...
I see where you're going.
Robin:
...somebody who famously
does not come out.
Only came out 20 years ago
for an award show.
Could this be the legend
Sly Stone?
- Ooh. Okay.
- Jenny: Yes!
This would be TV history!
That would be amazing.
Robin: One other name
that it could be though,
"sampled my flavor."
And then the last one was space,
space cowboys.
I think this could be
the funkadelic parliament,
Mr. George Clinton.
- If this is him,
I bow down before you!
- Come on!
That's a great guess.
Yeah!
Nick: I agree.
The tone sounds similar.
Only thing I would say,
Robin...
- Robin: Is his smell funky?
- Not funky enough.
- It ain't funky enough.
- It's not funky enough!
It ain't funky enough.
Maybe when he takes off
the Gopher head,
it's gonna smell funky enough.
Well, this is one
of the greatest of all time.
We know that.
It's Hall of Fame Night.
So go ahead, Gopher,
you can dig your way
back to the lair,
and we'll see you pretty soon
for the first big vote.
That's so cool.
Ha!
You could just tell his swag.
- Yo, he had to sit on a diamond
encrusted situation...
- Right?
...and one of the Men In Black
was fanning him.
You know that's somebody huge.
It is Hall of Fame Night, Jenny.
For sure.

And I don't think
it's just a costume.
I think this is a tall guy.
Yeah, it's a tall person.
Wow, look at that costume,
y'all.
Becoming a Hall of Famer
isn't easy,
but I've done it twice.
Orion's Belt?
Maybe somebody in a space movie
or space TV show?
The first time
was in my twenties.
Nobody thought I could
do it again in my 40s,
but I went down as one
of the best in history.
I didn't stop there.
My greatest hit came
in the next decade of my life,
and I guarantee
every single one of you
has had a piece of me
in your home at some point.
Horseshoe and a giant forehead.
It's Colts' Peyton Manning.
So tonight this all-star king
of reinvention
is stepping back up
to the plate with a performance
that's sure to earn a spot
in the "Masked Singer"
Hall of Fame.

Venus Fly Trap done
set it off out here.
Oh, my gosh.
I love you so hard, Fly Trap.
Nick, this is my favorite
costume of the entire season.
- Come on, guys.
- Yes.
- Nicole: This is brilliant.
- Nick: It's so amazing.
- I mean, it must be so hard
to perform in that.
- Right?
Aw, this comes real easy.
All right, well,
we need some clues, right?
We do!
Bring out the clues.
Joel: Nah, I'm fine.
I don't know what this coat
is doing to me,
- but I know exactly
who that is.
- Oh, no.
Aw, ha, ha!
Carol Burnett.
Ha, ha!
Who told you?
Who told you?
Who told you?
- All right, well,
let's welcome back the GOAT.
- Hey!
( fanfare )
Oh, my God. The GOAT!
Nicole, from one GOAT
to another GOAT,
do you wanna go meet Hawkeye?
Yeah, come on.
Thanks, Nick.
Nick: Go head on.
Nick, I saw this goat
checking me out backstage.
So it's time
to return the favor.
Nick: There it is.
Thank you. Hi!
You know, this isn't--
can I, uh-huh, oh.
Oh, he has no interest in me.
That's okay.
Nick: Such a beautiful,
beautiful GOAT.
- Call me.
- Nick: Hawkeye.
- Y'all make some noise
for Hawkeye the GOAT.
- Hawkeye.
Jenny: I can't believe
it took us eight seasons
to bring out farm animals
on this show.
I'm your Vanna White
to your Pat Sajak.
Thank you.
Nicole, then bring me
a vowel, baby.
You have to buy it, Jenny.
Okay, the clue says,
"One Hundred Million."
- Jenny: What?
- Nicole: Ooh,
one hundred million.
Ah, always believe
in yourself.
I did.
I took the punches,
I took the blows,
and look at me now.
- Punches, blows?
- I'm a big Venus Fly Trap.
He's a boxer.
Nick: Leslie, what you got?
Well, I saw Orion's Belt.
A belt, maybe like a fighter.
- Yeah.
- Ooh.
Leslie: Yeah, and this is
a Hall of Fame Night,
so I think this could be
- Hall of Fame boxer Mike Tyson.
- ( jeering )
Oh, hush!
He's had a long career!
Nicole: Yes, he has.
But what about someone like
the king of reinvention
like Bo Jackson.
- ( laughing )
- He's--
- He's laughing.
They like it.
- He's laughing at your guess.
- They laugh when I'm right.
- Joel: Oh.
That's not bad.
Look, Nick, if I'm going off
of the gold medal, right?
Them dollars and them vocals,
I'm thinking
it's an NBA player.
( laughing )
- Nicole: Okay?
- Jenny: See?
Venus likes that.
Someone who has won the
Olympics, maybe Charles Barkley?
( laughing )
We all don't know, okay?
Robin: Okay,
you guys are all wrong.
He was a fighter.
He was successful
in his twenties and his forties,
but when it says his biggest
hit was a decade later,
that would be
the George Foreman Grill.
- Yes!
- ( Venus Fly Trap laughing )
Robin: That's George Foreman.
And he said, "You had a piece
of me at your home."
That's 'cause we all had
a George Foreman Grill
at one point.
- Yup.
- Oh!
That would make sense
for the one hundred million.
- Nicole: That's pretty good.
- Nick: There it is.
Oh, that was good!
That was really good.
That is a good guess,
and it seems the audience
loves it,
and we loved that performance!
Y'all keep it going
for the Venus Fly Trap!
Snack on some flies backstage.
Oh, yeah, get ready.
We see three
outstanding performances,
and we've heard from the panel.
Now, studio audience,
it's time for you to vote
for your favorite.
The results and our first
unmasking of the night
when we come back.
You have to think Hall of Fame.
We could be dealing
with some of our biggest stars
and names we've ever had
on this show.
- I mean, that's why
I'm here tonight.
- Yes.
- You're welcome.
- Yeah.
♪ Who is that?
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back
to "The Masked Singer"
Hall of Fame Night.
Is the honeymoon over
for the monster-talented Bride?
Is he one and done,
or is there light
at the end of the tunnel
for the Gopher?
Gopher! I dig it!
Or did the Venus Fly Trap
make a meal of it?
We are about to see.
Leaving us tonight
and unmasking first is...
Oh!
Oh, my God!
It's driving me crazy.
The Venus Fly Trap.
Jenny: Aw!
- Nick: Y'all show some love
to the Venus Fly Trap...
- No!
Bride and Gopher,
head on back to the lair.
Get in your zone
because you're heading
into the Battle Royale.
Show some love, y'all.
We are so sorry
to see you go,
but can't wait
to see who you are.
Panel, it's time
for your final guesses.
What you got?
Who wants to go first?
Jenny: Well, he said
king of reinvention.
Played NFL, played baseball,
I think this is Bo Jackson!
Hello, Bo!
- Bo knows.
- Robin: Bo knows.
Nick: Bo definitely knows.
Nicole, what you got?
I mean, I saw the horseshoe.
It could be
for their big old feet.
I think it's an NBA player.
I think this could be
the legendary Charles Barkley,
y'all!
That's a good one. C Bark.
Wow, the audience
is hard on us today.
Nick: Oh, wow, they're hard
on you on that one.
They like Bo Jackson
better than that one.
Leslie, what you got?
I'm thinking as a clue,
"piece of me in your home,"
Orion's Belt in space,
this could be
boxer Mike Tyson.
- All right!
- Oh, yeah,
because he said the blows.
- Nick: That's a great hunch.
- Good guess.
"A piece of me,"
biting off ears.
That's good.
Robin: Biting. Yup. Yup.
That's great, Leslie.
What are you thinking, Joel?
I think this guy was
a huge movie star in the '80s,
and then he got nominated for
the Oscar for "The Wrestler."
That's why I'm gonna go back
because he needs redemption
after being the Gremlin,
it is Mickey Rourke again.
- Jenny: Oh, my God!
- Robin: Yeah!
We love you, Mickey!
We love you!
- Yeah, and there we go.
- Mickey!
It's starting to feel like
Ken's back in the room, y'all.
It's starting to feel
like Ken's back.
Nick: Robin, what you got?
Okay, so the real clue was
"in my twenties,
and I was successful
in my forties again,
and then I had my biggest hit
a decade later."
I think one of the most famous
heavyweight boxers of all time.
I think this is George Foreman.
- Jenny: I love that guess!
- Nicole: That would be amazing.
And I believe the final clue
that said "one hundred million"
is how many grills
George Foreman actually sold.
I owned one.
I owned one.
- I have one.
- Nick: A hundred
million grills.
I bought a second one
when I lost the first one.
Jenny:
Me, too. Me, too.
Understood.
Well, panel, you've given
your final guesses.
So you ready to see
who this is?
- Let's see who it is!
- Yeah!
- Come on, George!
- Come on!
Audience, say it with me.
- All: Take it off!
- Robin: Come on.
- Take it off!
- ♪ Who, who, who, who
I don't even know how.
- Take it off! Take it off!
- ♪ Who are you?
- This is a weird one.
- Oh, my God, are you right?
- Who is it? Leslie, who is it?

Men In Black, help us out.

Ladies and gentlemen,
make some noise
for the two-time heavyweight
champion of the world,
Olympic Gold Medalist,
Boxing Hall of Famer,
and an amazing entrepreneur,
Mr. George Foreman!
- Yes!
- Nick: The Champ is here!
Whoo!
Mr. Foreman,
why in the world did you
come on "The Masked Singer?"
- The greatest show on Earth.
- Robin: Yeah!
That's George Foreman
saying that.
- Jenny: Oh!
- Nicole: That's right.
It was a lot of fun.
All of a sudden now I wanna go
into the recording industry.
As you should!
I need a hit record now.
Yeah, Robin, write this man
a hit record ASAP.
Oh, yeah, I need one myself,
but right after I have one,
I'll send one to you.
I'm a huge fan, and we all know
there are very few human beings
who can continue to fight
at the highest level
into their forties
and that was quite
an accomplishment.
What is the secret
to your success, sir?
The George Foreman, lean, mean,
fat-reducing Grill machine.
- Let's go!
Let's go!
- I love it!
- I'm gonna go buy some!
- Nick: Okay!
- That's right! That's right!
- Here!
Joel wants one right now.
I would like to buy one.
We've had a lot
of unbelievable legends
on this show,
but I think this is
the loudest audience reaction
- we've ever had on this show.
- Jenny: Yes!
The champ is in the building!
It has been an absolute pleasure
having you with us, champ.
Go ahead and go get changed
and we'll see you hanging out
with us in the VIP section.
Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time,
George Foreman!
Whoo!

And joining them tonight
for one performance only,
from the drummer Hall of Fame,
the legendary Miss Sheila E.!

Yeah, exactly.
You each performed it

and Bride, you wanna win,
don't you?
- Yeah.

into this performance.
You were awesome!
But we had that OG swag of
the Gopher too, setting it off.
Whoo.
- He's so cool, Nick!
- Aw, yeah!

- Nick: Indeed, indeed.
I know who that gopher is,
but I don't know.

You can tell?
Yeah, just little like me.
- Really?
- Uh-huh.
- All right.
- I may be wrong.
Don't feel bad.

- Yeah, that's true.

All right, panel, well,
their fate is in your hands.

Congratulations, Bride.
You are one step closer

Head on back to your lair.

Panel, you know what time it is.
It's time to guess.
Yes, it's for
your final guesses, please.
Leslie?
You know, in the clues,
he said the word "flavor."
He also said Grammy,
and he's been nominated.
This is Flavor Flav!
I love it.
Joel, what you got?
Because of the LOL
and the '70s,
I still think it is comedian,
George Wallace.
No. Even Sheila E was like,
"That's whack."
Nick: Jenny?
Jenny: I was also
thinking comedian,
but he can sing.
So I'm thinking old school,
R&B Hall of Famer.
Bootsy Collins.
Oh, Sheila,
what were you gonna say?
No, nuh-uh.
Nick: Bootsy's
a little taller, right?
All right,
Robin, what you got?
The thing that got me
in the clue packages
the sample my flavor and
other doctors copy my method.
I was thinking this has to be
one of the greatest producers
or record makers of all time
who has been sampled
by the new generation.
I definitely think
this is George Clinton.
All right. Nicole?
Nicole: I am picking up
whatever Robin
has been putting down.

I said, ♪ Bow wow wow
