You guys, head on up to the desk.
What a way to start the show. That was amazing.
- You killed it, robin! - Robin!
Tonight, "the masked singer" is paying homage
To the city that never sleeps.
Our first group champion
Will be named by the end of the night.
They'll move on to the quarterfinals,
Fighting to get one step closer to the golden mask trophy.
Medusa is back to defend her title
Against two new bright-eyed contenders.
Panel, now, you guys know you haven't rung
The ding dong keep it on bell yet.
Jenny: We know. We've been saving it.
We feel like there's gonna be a moment possibly
That we're gonna be grateful that we waited.
- Woman: Tonight's the night! - Tonight is the night.
Jenny: Tonight's the night.
It's a new york kind of crowd, you know what I'm saying?
- A new york kind of crowd. - Anything can happen!
All right, well, let's get to it.
Let's see how medusa has climbed her way to the top
Since the premiere.
♪ the winner takes it all
♪ the loser is standing small
I'm still recovering from the shock
Of beating a music industry legend last week.
The champion of the night is medusa!
Oh, medusa!
But now that I've won two titles in a row,
I feel like there's a huge target on my back.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous,
But the snakes and I, we've got a secret weapon...
...My dad's favorite karaoke song!
I grew up singing with him, so it's the perfect choice
To take me to the quarterfinals.
But before I go, I've got a treat for you.

- What was that? Wow. - Unbeatable.
Crowd: Medusa, medusa, medusa, medusa!
Nick: Wow!
- Keep it going for medusa! - Oh, my gosh.
- Incredible. - We're all so speechless right now.
If you don't have shelves of grammys on your walls,
- I will be very surprised. - Robin: Wow.
- Medusa: Wow! - Jenny: What an amazing, stunning--
I think one of the best, most unique performances
- To date here on "the masked singer"! - Oh, my god!
Oh, my gosh. That performance was ethereal.
- You are otherworldly. - Oh, my gosh. Thank you.
- Wow. - I sense some emotion up under that mask.
- Yeah. - Are you okay?
I'm crying. Oh, god.
Ah! The snakes are crying, too.
Yeah, everybody's crying.
All right, well, we are crying and dying for a clue
To find out who this is, right?
From "the real housewives of new york city,"
The countess herself, luann de lesseps!
Jenny: Oh, my gosh!
Yes, yes! Yes, yes, yes!
- Yes, yes! - Looking amazing.
We love you, luann!
So, thank you for being here.
Oh, yes, it's great to be here.
I love this show. It is so much fun!
Yes! We love you!
- We have a love thing going. - We do. We do.
- I won't tell if you don't. - I won't. Shh! You're not--
We always find out nine months later.
- Zing. Boom. - That was so good.
One thing everyone wants to find out
Is what is this clue all about?
Medusa, help us out.
First of all, luann, I love you.
I cannot believe that I am on this stage with you.
Thank you, medusa.
Okay.
Sometimes you have to build a bridge
To get over it.
Hopefully it will put you in the right state of mind.
- So it's like the brooklyn bridge? - Brooklyn bridge.
There it is. Such a great clue.
But let's give it up for this great woman
- Standing next to me. - Yes!
- My new baby mama. - Thank you, baby.
Luann de lesseps, thank you so much!
Bye, luann!
Now, panel, are you guys any closer?
I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
From day one, y'all, I don't know if you hear it in the tone,
I've been feeling like it's lorde.
Ken: Oh!
- Right? - That's great.
- Nicole: Thank you. - The audience is feeling that.
She just marches to the beat of her own drum
- And does her own thing. - Mm-hmm.
But with the dog, I mean,
Could it be florence welch
- From florence and the machine? - Oh.
Nicole: She has "the dog days are over."
- ( crowd groans ) - no?
Well, I appreciate you being so honest with me.
They're like, "no, no. Just do another one."
Um, the dog was a scottish terrier.
Maybe it's a scottish singer that's super unique and cool
Like shirley manson from garbage.
- Robin: Ooh. - Right?
Okay. Okay, but you know who else is scottish?
- Me? - Susan boyle!
- Oh, my god! - Oh, my god!
- ( jeering ) - hear me out! Stop booing!
Brooklyn bridge!
Susan boyle sang a version
Of "bridge over troubled water."
I dreamed a dream I'd meet susan boyle today.
- No, no. - And that day is now!
- No, no, no, no. - Susan boyle!
- ( jeering ) - stop booing me!
Sit your ass down.
How many times has susan boyle played at coachella, ken?
Nick: Robin, please make some sense out of this.
You know, I think this might be kesha.
- Ken: Oh! - Ooh.
- Nicole: Oh, that's pretty good. - Ken: Okay.
Robin: There was the connection to chris martin.
They were on the same album together,
And she's a coachella favorite.
There was another clue that said that this contestant
Has been here before in a different capacity,
And we've done kesha's songs on the show.
- Ooh, that's true. - Oh, that's right. That's right.
- That's true. - Good point, good point.
Well, some pretty good guesses, except for ken's.
- Such a stellar performance. - Ken: Yes, yes.
- Wow. - Beyond. Beyond!
Go ahead and take a breather backstage.
- That performance was her best. - Yeah. Yep.
♪ who is that?
Welcome back. From broadway to times square,
We're living it up here on new york night.
Yes!
Straight from the central park zoo,
Bring out the polar bear!
♪ ice, ice, baby
Oh, my god!

♪ ice, ice, baby
He really living this cool thing!
I'm so excited to drop some new york flavor
On "the masked singer" stage
Because this city of dreams where I come from
Is the source of everything that made me me.
My neighborhood got a bad rap.
It's the kind of place most people wouldn't dream of getting down with.
Scratch-off lotto ticket?
Scratch. Scratch, right.
These streets are where I developed my interest
In electronics as a kid.
I used to take apart mom's toaster,
My sister's hairdryers, just to see how they worked.
All that tinkering eventually sparked a knockout idea
That helped me turn the tables on the entire music industry.
This bad boy invented a sound no one was making.
My legendary status helped put my broken borough on the map.
"message in a bottle." maybe they worked with sting.
Now I'm here to honor a fellow new yorker
Who changed the game. Just like me. Yep!
♪ toe to toe
♪ dancing very close
♪ barely breathing
♪ almost comatose
♪ wall to wall
♪ people hypnotized
♪ and they're stepping lightly
♪ hang each night

Hands in the air! Put 'em up!

Put your hands in the air, everybody.
Yeah!
Somebody say "ho"!
All: Ho!
Ken: Yeah!
What is that? That was so confusing!
That's a star performer right there.
Nick: Cold as ice.
Talk about confidence and swag.
- Yes. Yes. - He did his thing new york style.
What do you guys have to say to the polar bear?
All I know, you haven't lived a life until you saw a statue of liberty
And a giant apex polar bear with the cap
Onto the right hand side sing "rapture."
Great job. Had fun. That's what it's all about.
Where I came from, there's nothing but swag.
Nothing but swag!
Indeed. Well, I think it's time to bring out another clue.
- Yes, please. I'll take a clue. - Come on out.
- It's the long island medium! - Oh, I love her!
Theresa caputo!
Wow.
Hello, hello.
Hello, hello. Hello, jenny!
- What's up, girl? I love you so much! - Wow. Beautiful.
This is amazing. Amazing. All I'm gonna say is wow.
Insane.
All I know is that this polar bear is giving off
Freaking amazing star power vibes right now, right?
- Yeah. - Yep.
- Tell us more. - Totally see you
Standing at a podium giving a speech.
I think it's actually an acceptance speech...
...At the rock and roll hall of fame.
- Oh! - Whoa!
Wow.
But listen, don't go by me.
- Wow. - Rock and roll hall of fame.
- Wow. - That's a big clue right there.
Ladies and gentlemen, one more time
- For theresa caputo. - Jenny: Oh, I love you.
- Robin: We love you. - You're so good and so talented.
- Thank you for being here. - Thank you.
Did that help you guys at all?
So it's someone in the rock and roll hall of fame. That changes everything.
There's not a large list of hip-hoppers
In the rock and roll hall of fame.
But a name does come to mind.
We saw the scratches. We saw turntables.
I think it's dj jazzy jeff.
- Ken: Whoa! Really? - Wow.
- Only thing... - He's a great dj.
- Only thing... - He's from philly.
- From philadelphia.
Robin: That's true. He's from philly.
- Polar bear: Yeah. - Ken: You know who is not
From west philadelphia, who is from new york,
Who has got some new york flavor?
And don't boo me-- diddy. P. Diddy.
- Oh, no! No! - Thank you!
- ( jeering ) - puffy from harlem.
Hold on! That's not bad!
- Thank you, daddy! - Let him finish!
Just like me, diddy's a bad boy.
Founded bad boy records, all right?
There was a message in a bottle.
That's a police song diddy sampled.
But he's not in the rock and roll hall of fame!
But he has been to the rock and roll hall of fame.
Good try, but no!
You know who was in the rock and roll hall of fame,
And there was a clue, new york flavor--
Flavor flav!
Your dress is beautiful, but your answer is wrong.
- Whoa! - But you have to say that, polar bear.
- You gotta say that, diddy. I get it. - You gotta say it.
Look at my swag. Look at my swag.
Look at it. Look at my swag.
Nicole, what you got?
If I'm right, nick, this one is from new york city.
He's the og. He's the original.
We saw the scratch-off lottery ticket.
- He created, right, scratching. - Ken: Right.
I think this is grandmaster flash.
- Ken: Good guess. Good guess. - Ooh.
Is that swaggy enough for you, polar bear?
Huh. What you think, nick?
- Huh? - Nick: You never know.
One thing we do know,
The polar bear took over the stage,
- Took over the show. - Thank you.
Thank you "snow" much.
- Go ahead and chill backstage. - You got it.
Y'all keep it going for the polar bear.
Great job, diddy. I'll see you at the afterparty.
- He's so fun. - So good.
♪ who is that?
Welcome back to "the masked singer" new york night.
Hey! New york, new york!
Yeah!
Our last contestant of the night
Just hopped of the red-eye from the golden state.
It's the california roll.
♪ sushi, sushi
- Oh, my god. - Oh, my god.
Nicole: Wait a second.
- Do you see all those legs right there? - I see all those legs.
That's a california roll.
There's five of them. Oh, my god.
What a cool costume.
I'm so interested to see how this is gonna play out.
We have a package with some clues.
Let's roll it.
Wasabi, my dudes? I'm the california roll.
Now you might be wondering what a cali roll is doing here new york night.
Well, why not? I've already been on broadway.
This must be a broadway ensemble.
And that wasn't the only role I played.
Oh, no, this entree has many sides.
Let me tell you five reasons why I'm the perfect dish.
I'm a scholar with a degree from an ivy league school! Yeah!
And just like the city of new york, this cali roll never sleeps.
I got used to it from dj-ing all night long. Gotta pay the rent.
But eventually california was calling, so I set out west on the 10
For the gleeful rays and silver screens.
A tiger? Please be tiger king.
Once I got there, I was rubbing shoulders with the greats,
From dolly to snoop.
And I even got married!
It's been such a busy ride.
I barely ever have time for myself.
But without each of these ingredients,
I wouldn't be the successful
Number one roll I am today.

This is epic. That's the word.
I-- I'm-- my mind is blown.
We are definitely on a roll tonight.
We are on a roll!
Ken: I felt like I was sitting in broadway
Watching this epic performance, completely entertained.
Lady gaga would be proud.
This was epic and amazing and special.
- Nicole: Yeah. - Robin: You made gaga proud.
Nick, we've been doing this show for nine seasons now, right?
Yep, yep.
I had a moment where I saw five different sushi rolls,
And I was like, "this tuna fish is singing to me."
I see a face out of that tuna,
And that's some caviar as the hair.
I was like, "this is bizarre."
Our show a bit out there, isn't it?
Yeah.
The wildest show on tv, right?
We love it, but what we need is a clue, right?
- Yeah, yeah! - I would love a new york clue, please.
- Nicole: Oh, pizza! - Ken: Oh, wow!
- Oh, it's a rat. - The new york pizza rat!
- Oh, my goodness. - We love pizza rat.
- Five billion? - Nicole: What?
Five billion and growing. But who's counting?
Robin: Five billion and growing.
- Would be that streams of a performance? - Possibly.
Nick: Well, you guys think about it for a second.
Y'all give it up for pizza rat.
Hey, thank you for coming to our show, pizza rat.
- I'm gonna take a stab at this, nick. - Go for it, jenny.
There was a tiger clue, and I know it's not a lion,
But it's the cat family.
And "the lion king" on broadway is unbelievable.
So this could be the cast of them.
I was also getting a little bit
Of an amazing group called pentatonix in there.
- Robin: Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. - Nicole: Yeah.
- Ken: Wow. Wow. - Robin: Yeah.
- Okay. - All right, that's good.
I'm picking up what you're putting down.
I'm feeling like it could be the pentatonix.
However, when we saw the baseball at the beginning, right?
That reminds me of a pitcher.
Then we saw something about the perfect dish.
"pitch perfect."
- Oh! Nice. - Oh, oh, my god! I love it!
Nicole: Who could also sing a capella. They be doing their own thing.
Jenny: Lookit, long island medium likes it.
- Right? - Or it could be the cast
Of "high school musical."
Robin: Oh! There we go.
There was a "group project" on a school desk.
That screams high school!
You got zac efron, movie star. Vanessa hudgens.
My dear friend ashley tisdale. And two others!
This is definitely "high school musical."
That's not bad. That's not bad.
Well, whoever you are, we freaking love you, california roll.
Ken: Wow.
Keep it going for the california roll.
It was "rice" to meet you.
You guys can head on back.
What unique performances tonight.
Jeez louise.
All right, guys.
Panel, studio audience, cast your vote.
The singer with the least amount of votes
Will be unmasked after the break.
The panel still has the option
To ring the ding dong keep it on bell.

You know you came out every time literally swinging...
- Ken: Crazy. This is so good. - ...For that battle royale.
- This is what "masked singer" is all about. - It is. It is.
This is the toughest one yet.
Well, panel, the burden is all yours.
- Ugh. - This is too much.
Who will be this round's champion?
It's up to you guys. Start voting now.
- Medusa, medusa, medusa! - Cali, cali, cali!
Don't tell me what to do! You've been booing me all night!
Will medusa keep her winning streak going?
Or is there a new sheriff in town with the name the california roll?
I will do what I wanna do.
The results and the second unmasking of the night
Right after this.
♪ who is that?
The singer or singers
Moving on to the quarterfinals...
- Oh, man. - Is...
Oh, my gosh! You guys!
( no audible dialogue )
California roll!
- Robin: Oh! - Oh, my gosh!
- They're freaking out. - Congratulations!
You clenched the title. You are the group's champion.
Yes!
( fanfare )
You guys are going straight into the quarterfinals.
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the california roll.
And let's keep it going for the one and only medusa!
Crowd: Medusa, medusa, medusa!
Aww. You guys! She's my favorite.
Crowd: Medusa, medusa, medusa!
Medusa, we really, really, really hate to see you go.
We do hate to see you go.
Nick: And we cannot wait to see who you are.
But before you unmask,
Panel, you gotta talk to us
And give us your final guesses.
Ken: Well, first of all, this is incredibly tough.
Give it up for medusa. This is incredible.
Just-- real talk.
Buckingham palace. We've been stuck on that clue.
Because she got her start on "britain's got talent."
And, boy, do they ever,
Because they gave us susan boyle.
Oh, my god!
- I'm so sorry. - Nicole: What?
- Ken, what is wrong with you? - I apologize on behalf of "the masked singer."
What is wrong with you, ken?
Nick: Jenny, take some control over this.
Jenny: Brooklyn bridge, because she's from the east coast,
Where she grew up far from the spotlight.
She's got a lot of tattoos and a whole lot of talent.
I think this is halsey.
- Robin: All right. - Wow.
Nick: Uh, robin?
She famously has many tattoos.
She's been performed on this show
By caitlyn jenner and a few others.
I think medusa is kesha.
- Jenny: Not bad, not bad. - This is tough, right?
I keep going back to the original clue
- With buckingham palace. - Yeah.
And I think it's for her song "royals."
Yeah.
I think this is lorde.
- Yeah! Yeah! - Those are your final guesses.
- You guys-- - panel, let's see if any of you are correct.
Audience, say it with me.
All: Take it off! Take it off!
♪ who, who, who, who
♪ who are you?
- Should we do it? - Robin: Save her!
- Should we go? - Go, go, go, go!
- ( cheering ) - ( music stops )
Yes! Yes!
Oh, she's crying!
- Hey! - Aww!
- The bell has been rung! - She's crying!
- Jenny: Oh, she's making me cry! - Nicole: Yeah!
Let's hear it for medusa!
- The panel has spoken! - Oh, I love this new addition!
Crowd: Ding dong, keep it on! Ding dong, keep it on!
Ding dong, keep it on!
We love you so much, medusa.
Medusa lives to sing another day.
- Yes! - Yes!
Oh, gosh. Oh, my gosh.
After I heard the california rolls,
I knew they won, and I felt so embarrassed!
Thank you so much.
This means more to me than you'll ever know,
And, wow, I'm very relieved.
Nicole: Wow.
For the first time ever on this show,
We got to save someone, and we saved you.
- You deserve it. - We love you.
Thank you. I'm not wearing waterproof mascara.
- Oh! - Thank you.
- Seriously, thank you. - You are not unmasking tonight.
- Nope! - But you definitely face a tough road ahead.
You will have to battle your way back into the competition against the other saves.
But the game continues next week,
When we meet a new group of challengers,
As round two begins
With an extraordinary dc superheroes night.
- Yes! - Let's close it off
The only way we know how. Hit it!
