And now let's gear up for an exciting night,
S'more, gazelle,
Cow, and diver
All aim to stay in the game
With songs by artists
Who have performed at the super bowl.
Wow.
But they have a new line of defense to get through--
The wild card.
( roars )
Oh, yeah. That's right.
A brand new singer is entering the competition.
It is a jam-packed night, so let's get to it.
Y'all ready?
In the lineup is a cow who is ready to raise the stakes.
- Ooh. - But first let's take a look at how they fared
In last week's group a premiere.
♪ my patience is waning
Last week was udderly fantastic,
And I'm excited to make it this far with the cream of the crop.
♪ is this entertaining?
Tonight I'm honored to be part of nfl night
Even though I don't have many memories
Of watching the big game with my dad.
He wasn't really around, and I didn't have a lot
Of positive male role models growing up.
Boxing gloves. Maybe they played a boxer in a movie?
I was raised in a house of all women
Who made me the sensitive cow that I am.
Now as a parent, I know the value
Of being present for my children.
Oh, my gosh. He has children.
I've always achieved a lot of success in my life,
But my greatest accomplishment has always been my kids.
- ( lowing ) - so easy to get overwhelmed
By the smoke and mirrors of fame,
But I told myself early on that I'm a family cow first.
( cowbell rings )
So when I get on that stage, I'll be thinking of them
And treasuring every single moment.
♪ give me your, give me your, give me your attention, baby ♪
- Come on! - Yeah, come on!
♪ I gotta tell you a little something about yourself ♪
♪ you're wonderful, flawless, ooh, you're a sexy lady ♪

I feel like I should know.
Everybody on their feet for the cow!
That was good.
You got-- why are you pushing me, cow?
Can I tell you, he made that look effortless.
- Nicole: Yeah. - Right? Wasn't it unbelievable?
Robin: Absolutely.
The vocals were great, the song choice was great,
The moves were great.
You made it look easy.
Well, I'm confused, so I definitely need a clue.
That says something, you guys.
Bring it out!
( nfl theme plays )
Le'veon's bringing it out.
- Yeah! - Oh, look!
Nick: Le'veon.
Mr. Bell.
This is-- it's the weirdest night ever.
Did somebody ask for a clue?
Yes, le'veon, we did ask for a clue.
Jenny: Those are some tap shoes.
- Ken: Whoa. - Nicole: Oh, wow.
- A little tappy tap. - Ooh.
- Y'all give it up for le'veon one more time. - Ken: Le'veon.
That's a good clue.
Nick: All right.
Now, cow, what can you tell us about the clue?
Much like a super bowl halftime show,
I am known for my killer moo-ves.
- Robin: Oh! - So they're a dancer.
- He's a dancer. - Dancer?
A dancer could sing like that?
Nicole: Absolutely.
Usher dances, sings amazing.
Man, you know, I'm getting the world of r&b,
Guys who are trained professionals, who can sing,
Who can dance, and make it look this easy.
Some names that come to mind, trey songz is one.
Ne-yo. I thought I heard a little bit of ne-yo in the vocal tone.
- Ne-yo can dance. - And ne-yo can dance.
Ne-yo has the moves for the taps.
But the tap shoes, is ne-yo known for tapping?
I think it just shows someone could dance.
Could it be someone like a mario?
Robin: Could be. Could be.
That is a great guess.
Jenny: But mario doesn't have kids,
So could it be someone like a nelly?
He's got kids.
There was that heart drawing,
And he's got a song called
"heart of a champion," right?
That's true.
I don't know if nelly can sing like that.
But you know who can dance their sweet okole off?
- Who? - Is jason derulo.
- Jenny: Oh! - Robin: Yeah, jason can dance.
He can sing, he can dance, and he's got a child.
- That's right. - Nick: Very true. This is the only thing.
Like, clearly this cow knows me.
- Ken: Really? - Everybody knows you, nick.
No, but he keep-- like, he's picking on me.
Both: You don't know who it is?
- I have no idea. - Oh, my god.
But one thing we do know, that was an amazing performance.
- Y'all keep it going for the cow. - That was great.
Go ahead and graze backstage.

♪ any way you want it
Making my debut as the diver
Last week was so rewarding.
Jenny: You might've went from a lot of haters,
But you got a lot of lovers now.
It felt great to get all the love
From the panel and audience, something, as you know,
I haven't gotten much of lately.
As a kid, I always wanted to be famous.
I modeled, I acted, and of course, sang.
I was always waiting to become a household name.
I just didn't know it would be for everyone hating me.
- Who's hated? - Joel mchale.
But I'm here to show the world that I'm more than my mistakes.
Being here already feels like a heeling experience.
High heels. Maybe married to a model.
Getting to share my talent instead of my drama
Is exactly what I've needed.
So tonight I'm gonna keep my eye on the ball
'cause I am not ready to take off this mask.

Not worried about anything but an amazing performance.
This is what this show is all about
Is giving people second chances.
And I don't know who you are, but you have talent
- And you light up on the stage. - Ken: Yep.
And this week, you showed us your moves.
I didn't even know you had it like that.
- Now I'm really confused. - Robin: The moves came out.
- Look at that! Wow! - Robin: Okay.
- Jenny: Oh! - Ken: Wow!
- Who is that? - Nick: Now he has everyone confused,
But I hear that there's a fan in the audience
- That can help us out. - What? What do you mean?
- Where are you? - Where are you?

What?
Nick: Super fan, where are you?
Oh, my god! Lookit!

- Whoo! - This has to be one of the craziest nights
- We've ever had on "the masked singer." - come on!
Diver, can you tell us about the man
With the purple and white afro?
Diver: I'm well-suited for the club.
I know how to get the club going! What's up!
You picking up on any clues? Does that help you guys out?
Nicole: I mean, I'll take a stab.
You know, when I see "club,"
I definitely think of "the clurb."
And you know who likes to go to the clurb?
- Who likes to go to the clurb? - Pete davidson.
Pete davidson. Good guess.
He had the high heels 'cause he's a ladies man.
- Yeah. - Then we have the tv clue
Because we know him from "snl."
- Good guess. - So it could be pete davidson
- With his reputation. - I like it.
Nick: Okay. Ken, what you got?
I'm picking up where I left off last week.
The diver is tom sandoval, and I'll tell you why.
Okay, hear me out.
Clubs, restaurant bars,
Tom sandoval owns two clubs.
High heels, pumps, as in "vanderpump rules."
Tv clue? Duh-doy!
- There you go! - ( cheering )
That's my squad!
- I would say about 50-50 in here. - Thank you.
- Robin, what you got? - Robin: Well, there's been some bad boy things.
I'm thinking he gets the club lit up.
What about from the old "jersey shore,"
- Pauly d is a dj, right? - Oh.
- Okay. - Nicole: Oh!
- That makes sense. Dj. - Robin: Whoever you are,
That was a great performance. I squid you not.
- Oh, my god. - Ken: Wow.
Nick: He had to get one in. He had to.
Y'all keep it going for the diver.
Love it.
All right, diver, go ahead and hit the locker room.
We'll see you back when it's time to vote.

Our next mystery celebrity
Is ready to dig her cleats into the stage.
But first let's see how gazelle
Took down the house in the group a premiere.
Last week was such a redemptive experience.
( vocalizing )
Yes!
( vocalizing continues )
Now I am ready to tackle the competition
Because I'm feeling right at home here on this stage.
There were a lot of times I didn't know
If there was a place for me in the entertainment industry.
At just eight years old,
I was pressured to change my name
To blend in more with the herd.
Casting directors couldn't figure out where I fit because of my unique look.
"threat level: 3."
Okay, so she's gotta be a triple threat.
I wondered if I could ever truly be myself
And pursue my greatest passions.
Fortunately, the world is changing,
And there are more opportunities every day.
Surf board? Maybe someone from a surf movie
- Or teen choice awards. - I'm proud of my heritage,
And proud to continue to blaze a trail
For little girls who look like me.

I can't believe I don't know who you are because I feel like
You should be one of the biggest singers of all time.
Oh, my gosh. Thank you!
You are so incredibly talented. Breathtaking.
Thank you, jenny!
Nick: An amazing performance, indeed.
But we could use another clue, right?
I need all the clues I can get.
- Bring it out. - ( nfl theme plays )
Uh-oh.
- Eight-time pro bowler... - Hey!
And los angeles chargers' own antonio gates!
- What's up, dawg? - What up, eddy?
What's up, dawg? How you doing?
Right in there, antonio.
Give some charger love.
- Oh! - Yeah!
- Put it right there. - Good job, bro.
One-handed, nick! Legend.
Well, we got a legend in the building,
Antonio gates, and this has to be the clue.
What's that say there?
- Villain. All right. - Villain.
Ooh.
I'm not actually a villain, but I can play the part.
Gazelle's got range.
Nick: Okay. Well, we got antonio gates.
Y'all give it up for him one more time.
Antonio!
Thank you for being here, my brother.
- Appreciate it. - Love.
All right, she says she's not an actual villain,
But she's got range.
Is that helping you guys out at all?
I was thinking of a villain.
Are there any "gossip girl" fans here?
( cheering )
I was getting a little leighton meester. What do you think?
( cheering continues )
We had some high school test clues.
Didn't you sing with leighton?
I did. I did sing with leighton, yeah.
So then you can double down on my amazing guess.
- Or not. - Oh.
Yeah. What about you, dr. Ken?
Okay, real talk,
You don't hear me talk like this a lot,
But I never get so moved by an actual voice.
Um, I don't have the ear that robin and nicole have,
And I might be wrong,
But this sounds like someone who I genuinely love,
Who is a dear friend of mine...
- Oh. - ...And I think just hearing this voice
This may be constance wu.
Oh, wow!
And even if it's not you,
I just want you to know I am thinking about wu.
- Aww, that's really sweet. - Love you.
- I want it to be her now! - Wow! Ken!
- So sweet. - I love you, ken!
Ken: I love you, gazelle.
- Good luck following that, nicole. - I know.
- How am I gonna follow that? - I'm sorry.
I think it's constance wu as well.
- ( laughter ) - robin: Yeah.
- I think we're all convinced. - No, but seriously,
She spoke so beautifully about not fitting in with the herd.
- Uh-huh. - There was the surfboard, and the hawaii shirts,
And I think that this could be auli'I cravalho, the voice of moana.
- I love her so much. - Jenny: And she can sang.
Or it's constance wu. We love you so much.
Love you guys.
- Yes. - Y'all give it up for the gazelle.
Such a stellar performance.

A huge opportunity to work
With an industry legend came my way.
But when my dad found out, he told me to turn down the gig.
I made the hard decision to move out.
Years down the road, I conquered the broadway stage,
A lifelong goal.
A game console? Maybe he's a gamer.
There was no way it could get any better,
Until one night after curtain call
I saw my dad backstage.
Hearing him say he was proud of me
Was really biggest win I could ask for.

It's my man! Y'all make some noise for him.

- And the fastest nfl wide receiver. - Right here!
- It's desean jackson, ladies and gentlemen! - Jenny: Yes!
I don't know what the hell was just going on,
But I take it that you stepped out here to give us a clue.
- Was that the clue? - This it right here, bro.
I don't got nothing else to say. It's an oranges.
It's some oranges. Something about them oranges.
See what happens when your friends come out here?
- Y'all make some noise for desean jackson. - Ken: Yes!
Oranges?

Does that do anything for you guys?
- It did a little bit. - Well, florida.
Yeah, I was thinking florida.
And we've been on the boy bander tip, so...
- Jenny: Right? - Nicole: You know what?
I'm picking up what you're putting down with the oranges.
I'm getting florida. I'm getting orlando vibes.
And you know who started in orlando?
That's right. Nsync.
- Woman: Yeah! Whoo! - ( cheering )
I'm getting the boy band vibes.
♪ bye, bye, bye that's right.
I'm getting the jc chasez vocals.
- Oh. Good guess. - A little bit of that.
We saw m. I think it's for mtv.
Which they obviously are a staple on mtv. "trl."
But I think it's a different boy band group,
Also originated in florida.
We just had the broadway clue. He was in "chicago."
And then the game console I think has to do with the song
"quit playing games with my heart."
- Oh! - Okay.
So I still think it might be kevin richardson of the backstreet boys.
- Jenny: That's pretty good! - I think the mustache is the same.
We went over this. It's the same mustache that kevin has underneath.
Just because the mask has a mustache doesn't mean the contestant has a mustache.
- Yeah, but-- but-- but-- - we talked about this.
- Yeah, but he's got a mustache. - Okay, okay.
Nick: Well, since you're an expert, ken...
- Yes, I am, daddy. Thank you. - At medicine!
Ken: Everybody here has been referencing boy banders,
And that's great, but I also think it could be my buddy
Simu liu from "shang-chi."
The guy can sing for real.
Also mtv. He was nominated for two mtv movie awards.
So this is the one time in my life I know what I'm talking about. Yes.
Well, whoever you are, we think you're amazing, mr. S'more.

Well, maybe these clues will pickle your fancy.
To be honest with you, I never imagined myself
Dressing up as a pickle, singing center stage.
But now that I'm here,
This wild boy is planning on winning.
And trust me, I've learned to never count myself out.
When I was a young gherkin,
All my teachers thought I was nothing.
Said I was a hyper, disruptive kid
Who had no interest in anything but sports.
It was basically decided that I was a bad boy with no future.
Is it a comedian? Is it a dj?
But once I found my true passion,
I became laser focused.
Nothing or nobody was gonna stand in my way.
Lo and behold, I reached massive success,
Rubbing elbows with some of the most famous people on earth--
Tarantino, scorsese, short.
- Maybe you've heard of them. - Martin short, my idol.
You've gotta know who this is, ken.
Yeah, my mouth still gets me into beef,

Became a super successful hyper destructive adult.

- Or was a talk show host. - Yeah, I'm getting that.
So then a couple names that come to mind
Are craig kilborn, you know, as talk show host.
That's a great guess.
The other person who has a very popular podcast
Called the "armchair expert," I think it's called.
- Yes. - Maybe it's dax shepard.
- That's what I think. - Ken: Great guess.
I like that guess a lot.
I do, too, but this pickle is tall.
He really is, and I'm thinking maybe talk show hosts, like a conan o'brien.
- Ken: Oh! - Yeah, there you go.
- Oh, that's great. - Right?
- That is a great guess. - Right?
But the way he's just playful with nick,
This could be howard stern.
Howard's interviewed everyone
From quentin tarantino to martin short.
I'm convinced this is howard stern.
- Nicole: Wow. - Good guess.
Only howard stern would smack me on my ass up here. That's--
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up one more time for the pickle.
So much fun. Head on backstage.
- Men in black. - ♪ sure plays a mean pinball
( crowd chanting ) pickle, pickle, pickle!
Pickle, pickle, pickle!
( chanting continues )
It's been an absolutely electric night of performances.
But alas, not everyone can make it on next week's roster.
Studio audience, panel, it is time.
Vote for your favorite singer of the night.
The singer with the least amount of votes
Will hang up their jersey and mask
And hop on that first charter flight home.
The results right after the break.
♪ who is that?
Welcome back. The votes are in.
The second singer of group a to get unmasked is...
Who is it?
This is really tough.
It doesn't get easier.
The diver.
Robin and nicole: Oh!
Jenny: Oh, no! Poor diver.
- Diver's so sad. - Ken: What?
Everyone else, head on back to the locker rooms,
Grab your brick phones, boot up your dial-up.
We'll see you on next week's 2000s night.
- I didn't see that coming. - Neither did I.
And keep it going for the diver.
Diver, we are so sorry that your journey ends here,
But we cannot wait to see your famous face, right?
Yes!
Who is under this mask?
Panel, your final guesses, please.
I'll start it up. You know, we've seen things
About being on tv, living his life in public,
Headlines, bad boy.
Then tonight the big clue
About being able to get a club going, right?
- Yeah. - Get a party started.
I think this guy's a dj who was on television.
I think this is pauly d from "jersey shore."
- Jenny: Oh, yeah. - Nicole: Yeah!
Robin: Pauly d!
Jenny: That's a good guess.
Nick: Nicole, what you got?
You know, I thought originally
This was bad boy of hollywood pete davidson,
But it's nfl night, and I'm pulling a penalty,
And I'm stealing robin's guess.
Oh.
- I think it's pauly d as well. - Okay! All right.
Ken: You know, I gotta say,
For me, all the talk of past mistakes
And being publicly judged in the last year--
Can only be one person.
He's been all over the news.
This is "vanderpump rules" star tom sandoval.
Robin: It's a good guess.
Nick: Okay. All right.
I cannot believe I'm about to do this,
But I'm actually agreeing with ken.
And if we're right, this will be two for ken, which is insane.
Yeah.
There was a pump in the clue package.
He is a performer.
I do think this could be tom sandoval.
Nicole: Wow.
All right, it's split down the middle.
Well, let's see if our panel is correct.
Audience, you know the drill. Say it with me.
All: Take it off! Take it off!
Take it off! Take it off!
♪ who are you?
Take it off! Take it off!
♪ I really wanna know
♪ oh, I really wanna know
- Are we gonna be right? - Pauly d!
- Come on, robin! - Take it off!
♪ you, are you
Nick: Star of "vanderpump rules"...
- Oh, my god! - Tom sandoval!
- Oh! - Oh!
- Ay! - Wow.
- All right. - Nick: He gave you the nails first.
Ken was right. He's in the building.
- Oh, my gosh! - Nicole: Wow, ken.
You made me so proud, ken! You made me so proud!
- Congratulations, ken. - Dude! Dude!
Nicole: Wow.
- Ay, I wouldn't have guessed that one. - Wow.
- Tom, welcome, man. This was fun. - It was so much fun.
- Yeah, yeah! - Being able to come out here, perform, you know,
Behind a mask, not being judged,
Just being judged on my performance,
- It was really nice. - And you're very good, tom.
- You did good, tom! - Thank you, guys. Thank you so much.
You did an awesome job, man. So much fun.
- Ken: Oh, my god! - And, oh, my god.
- Nicole: Ken! - He does it again!
I never-- I never get it right!
Oh, I knew I was getting guessed right away.
This never happens, tom. This has never happened in my life.
- Ten seasons it's taken though. - It's season ken. Like--
- Nicole: Season ken! - Tom and robin: Season ken.
But seriously, I'm kind of star struck right now.
The biggest star in television right now is tom sandoval.
- Like, for real. - Jeez.
Jenny: Tom, can I ask you something?
- Because you were very vulnerable talking about... - Yes.
"you know what? A lot of people don't like me."
Was it so difficult to come on this show and do this?
Yeah, it was, but it was nice. I felt protected under the mask.
I mean, this costume is incredible.
You know, there's so many talented people here.
I'm just honored to be part of it.
- Jenny: Aww. - Nicole: Yeah.
You're a talent. You're a talent, dude.
Well, we appreciate you coming here...
- Wow. Yes. - ...Being vulnerable, having fun.
Thank you, tom!
And give it up for my players over there!
And of course, "the masked singer"
Continues next week for a nostalgic night in the 2000s.
And right now, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together
For the artist formerly known as the diver.
Give it up for tom sandoval!
