Tonight, it's a throwback party on "the masked singer"
As we hit up the 2000s.
And here to kick it off is jewel!
♪ cutting through the darkest night are my two headlights ♪
Yes. Whoo! Goosebumps.
♪ I'm trying to keep it clear, but I'm losing it here ♪

Thank you.
Ken: Yeah!
Welcome to "the masked singer."
We're turning back the clock and entering the era
Of trucker hats, velour tracksuits,
Flip phones, and some of the best music to hit the airwaves.
Our group a contestants are back
And they are fighting for a place in the group a finals.
- Yes! - And let me mention,
Everybody, that ken is on a hot streak.
- Yeah. - Yes!
- Oh, god. - Two in a row.
- It's crazy. - He has two correct guesses in a row.
That's more than his entire run on this show.
- It's not gonna last. - Season ken!
- Nick: There it is. - That's right.
Audience, are you guys ready to kick it off?
- Robin: Yeah! - Ken: Yeah! Yeah!
- Let's go! - Let's go!
Pickle was an immediate favorite on nfl night.
But who is he? Here are some clues.
♪ sure plays a mean pinball, whoo! ♪
- Yeah! - Pickle: Omg, I can't believe I made it through nfl night.
But while I may have this big smile plastered on my face,
I've got a salty side, too.
So it feels fitting to be on here during 2000s night,
The decade when internet beef was born.
Look, I'm outspoken. And I've gotten into a few fights you may have heard about.
He's gotten into fights? Could be an mma fighter.
I've butted heads with nba players, real housewives,
Award-winning directors, movie stars, bloggers,
Even entire online publications.
Baseball? He could be a baseball player.
Having a public feud really is performance art that I've perfected.
But I'm always open for reconciliation.
I've even rekindled friendships
With some of my former adversaries.
So my advice to anyone who wants to "pickle" a fight with me tonight,
Take a chill pill.
Masked singer! Let's go!
Pickle, pickle! Pickle, pickle!

Robin: Whoo! Wow, that was great.
I love him so much.
- Pickle, pickle. - Pickle, pickle.
Pickle, pickle
( crowd chanting ) pickle, pickle, pickle, pickle!
Oh! Whoa.
He put his pickle booty on me.
All right, pickle, we know you rocked it,
But let's hear from the panel.
- Straight up, here's the deal. - Oh, my gosh.
It was juicy! It was crunchy!
- It was salty! It was amazing! - Pickle: Yes, sir.
- And it was sweet! - We're bringing that bpe-- that big pickle energy.
Let's go!
All right, pickle, pickle, let's get a clue.
I would love one, thank you.
All right, this clue comes from a big 2000s name.
( music playing )
- Lance! - Oh!
- Judges: Lance! - Nicole: Oh, man.
- Jenny: Oh, lance. - Pickle!
The one and only lance bass!
- How are ya? Wow! - Hair is fantastic.
- Oh, my goodness. - I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it!
All right, lance, great to have you here.
- Thanks for having me. - But what do you have here?
I have a lovely collection of pickles with beautiful wigs.
- Eh? - Jenny: Huh?
- Ken: Okay. - It says "friends" on it.
Like the cast of "friends"? Or someone that guest-starred on "friends"?
Well, I've done so many things for so many years,
And people always associate me with my famous friends.
- ( laughs ) - all right.
Well, speaking of famous friends,
Y'all give it up for my famous friend lance bass!
- Jenny: Yes! - Thanks, everybody!
Mwah!
He looks amazing. Lance ages backwards.
Thank you, lance!
I wanted to tell lance to tell the other contestants
To go "bye, bye, bye"
'cause it's over tonight. Bye, bye, bye!
- See? - Wow.
- ( muttering ) - he's funny.
- He's very, very funny. - Wow.
- Ooh! - Pickle, pickle.
Nicole, what you picking up on?
You know who would make an amazing pickle?
- Charlie sheen. - Ken: Oh!
Winning!
- Charlie sheen guest-starred on "friends." - oh, he did.
And then it says-- it talks about the public struggles
With movie directors and housewives.
I mean, he was married to a housewife-- denise richards.
- That's right, that's right. - He was, yeah. Yeah, right.
I mean, if this ain't charlie sheen, I ain't no hollaback girl, okay?
- Ken, who is this? - The pickle is sean penn and I'll tell you why.
- Jenny: Oh, my god. - Let me finish.
- ( pickle laughs ) - sean penn was in "friends."
Cop car-- sean penn famously played a cop
- In the movie "colors." - that's right.
Outspoken, not afraid to butt heads with the establishment.
Respect. This is sean penn, and that's a medical fact!
- Ken needs a doctor. - Jenny: That's right. He does.
I mean, could it be, like, joel mchale?
'cause joel is like family on this show, and he's so comfortable.
Oh, my god, we said "famous." we said someone famous.
He famously hosted "the soup," which he would usually make fun of everybody.
- Yeah. Pickle soup. - He definitely--
He definitely would have butted heads with all those categories.
All right, well, those were some great guesses, right guys?
And that was a great performance. Head on backstage.
Men in black, let's help the pickle out.
This better not be joel mchale.
And he stumped you. He would have stumped you, ken!
♪ who is that?
Welcome back. No need to adjust your screens.
It's 2000s night right here on "the masked singer."
Yeah! I was there, man.
Gazelle has been making quite a mark on the stage.
Who is this mystery antelope?
Here are some clues to eat up.
( vocalizing )
♪ the one that got away
I love this costume.
I have to tell you, the first time I saw it, I started crying.
Deer are really meaningful to me
Because they are a symbol of someone I loved and lost.
It happened just a few weeks before my wedding.
One of the most important people in the world
To my husband and I passed away unexpectedly.
We somehow carried on with the wedding, but it was all a blur.
A mouse. This has to be a disney star.
- Except during our vows... - Dog tags.
Could she have starred in a military movie?
...When suddenly, rain started pouring down on us. It was magical.
We knew then that our loved one was there with us.
When I put on the gazelle mask,
I carry his adventurous spirit with me,
And I know he's a part of my secret to success here.
This is the story about a gazelle named lucky.
♪ early morning

♪ knock, knock, knock on the door ♪

- Ken: Wow. Oh, wow! - Jenny: Oh!
- Ken: Yeah! - Nicole: Oh, my god!
- Announcer: I'm roger johnson for pop news... - She's a dancer!
...Standing outside the arena waiting for lucky.
Oh, my god, here she comes!

- Wow. - That was amazing.
Yeah!
Oh, my gosh! Who is that?
Wow. We're so lucky to have witnessed that performance.
Panel, talk to the gazelle.
Gazelle, honestly, I am blown away.
Every time you perform, I get the chills.
- You are an all-around star. - Nicole: Wow.
Thank you, jenny. Thank you.
Indeed. Well, let's get another clue with another 2000s icon.
- What's up? Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! - Kate flannery!
Yeah!
- Oh, my god! Kate! - What's up?
Who was part of the greatest television shows of all time, "the office."
- Ken: Kate! - Kate, welcome.
- Thank you for being here. - Thank you! Normally, I'm completely clueless.
- But tonight I have a clue. - There it is.
- Jenny: Yes. - Yeah!
We will take it. What do you have here? What is your clue?
Okay. Here it is. "gazelle love story."
Nicole: It's a dvd?
The 2000s are a special time for me
Because it was when I had my film debut.
- Film debut. - Jenny: Ooh.
Let's give it up one more time for kate flannery.
- Yes! - Love you, kate!
Thank you so much for being here!
- Does that give you guys anything? - It does help.
I heard robin go, "ooh!" so what is it?
Well, the earlier clue said that she can play the role of a villain, right?
So this girl is a great singer, great performer,
And played the villain
In "the princess diaries" with anne hathaway.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think that this could be mandy moore.
- Mandy can sing beautifully. - Ken: Wow. Really?
Robin: But there's something about the tone of the voice.
You know, a lot of the clues point to mandy moore,
But I'm not hearing that in the vocal tone.
- I know, like... - What are you thinking?
Well, I think that there was a husband clue.
- And that clue has really ruined most of our clues. - Right, right.
- That means we've gotta eliminate our past guesses. - Sorry.
But someone who is happily married-- hilary duff.
- Jenny: Hey! - Yes.
- Ken: Oh, good guess. - That's right.
I love the duffs.
And then we saw the cute mouse,
And when I think about the cute mouse,
I think mickey mouse. Mickey mouse, disney.
- Disney, "lizzie mcguire!" - yeah.
Hello? Hilary duff.
- Ken: I love that guess. - That's a really good guess.
- You know who else is married? - Uh-oh!
I think this could be ashley tisdale.
- Oh! - Was she a villain in the "high school musical"?
- A slight one. - Slight villain.
- Jenny: A slight villain. - Good guess, jenny.
- That's a good guess. - Yep.
Well, it was a very fun and touching performance from the gazelle.
Y'all make some noise.
Men in black, help out the gazelle.
♪ who is that?
Wassup?
Welcome back to "the masked singer,"
And nicole is giving me a tour of her 2000s bedroom.
- And-- - oh, my gosh.
This is giving me eden's crush days.
Yes, girl! Yes!
You know what I'm talking about "drumline."
I'm loving these pictures. I love the lava lamp.
Oh, do you remember these? A camera.
Let's take a picture. Ah!
Okay, I'ma go develop this in a one-hour photo lab. Bye, bye, bye.
Y'all make some noise for nicole scherzinger.
- Yeah! - Well, right now, let's get to our next singer.
Here are some s'more clues to roast on.
Boy, you guys keep wanting s'more of me, don't you?
♪ you want the moves like jagger ♪
♪ I've got the moves like jagger ♪
♪ I've got the mo-o-oves like jagger ♪
I'm just so stoked to still be here on 2000s night.
My decade, baby!
Hanging out on the set of "trl."
My music video's playing on mtv.
And most importantly, the birth of my child.
Learning to be a dad while touring the world was intense.
On tour. They've gotta be from a boy band.
At a certain point, I realized that I wanted my kid
To have a constant, supportive father figure in their life.
- He's got my hairspray. - He likes his hair like you.
So I took a step back from performing so that I could stay in one place.
Now being on stage again feels extra special
Because they get to see me back in my element.
I'm so proud to be their dad,
And I hope they're proud of me tonight.

Then I'd have the biggest crush on you right now!
Jenny: You could still have a crush.
S'mores, you made me melt, and that is absolutely
My favorite performance of yours ever on that stage.
All right, it's time for another clue.
Let's welcome back my brother lance bass!
Oh, wow!

Yes.
- Here we go! - Nicole: Get it, lance.
- Jenny: Oh! - Robin: S'more bros tour.

Ken: Oh, they went all over the country.
2000s were a busy time for me.
I was busy touring with my bros.
Busy touring with my bros.
Well, y'all give it up for lance one more time.
- Lance! - He knows about being on tour in the 2000s.
- Thanks, lance! - Picking up on any clues?
Okay, we get a lot of boy band clues.
I'm thinking could this be jordan knight?
- ( crowd murmuring ) - yeah.
Jordan can sing, he's tall.
- He's a dad. - I mean, he says he was on tour with his brothers.
And literally he was on tour with his brother jonathan knight.
We also saw the hairspray, so it could be james marsden.
Ken: Oh, he has great hair, robin.
- From "hairspray" the movie musical. - James marsden has great hair.
All right, what are you thinking, ken?
I believe s'more is rob thomas. Think about that.
- Went on tour all over the 2000s. - ( crowd groans )
Let me finish. Rob is a father, and fire.
There's fire on you. And guess what lights a fire?
I don't know, matches. Where do you get 'em from?
A matchbox. Try 20 of them.
Matchbox 20. Rob thomas.
Sch-clacky!
Oh, I don't know.
Nick: All right, jenny, what you got?
- I know my mtv. - Yes, you do, jenny.
- Of course. - Yes, I do. And I know my boy bands.
And, you know, a name came to mind, and I saw the hairspray.
And he was in "hairspray" on broadway.
I think this could be ashley parker angel from o-town!
- Oh! - Oh, my gosh.
I loved o-town.
Whoever you are, obviously we're huge fans of you.
- Yep. - I love you, s'mores.
That was an amazing performance.
My man s'more, head on back and we'll see you soon for the vote.
Thom would be fine if I have a crush on the s'more.
- Oh, thom will be fine with it. - Yeah, as long as you don't eat him.
♪ who is that?
Welcome back to "the masked singer."
Yeah!
Cow is our final singer of the night,
And here are some clues to take stock of.
♪ treasure
Cow: I am so over the "moo-n"
After last week's performance!
And I feel absolutely psyched to be here for the 2000s night
Because that's the decade it all started for me.
My friends and I decided to pack up a van
And head to the capitol records building in hollywood,
Determined to get a record deal.
We pulled into the parking lot and started performing on top of the van,
Convinced we'd get signed.
Instead, security kicked us off the property.
A judge gavel.
Could he have been a lawyer on a tv show?
But we kept coming back every single day.
While we didn't make it then,
Today my picture hangs in the capitol records hall
And the bigwigs see me all the time.
His picture is up in the capitol records building?
- This is a mega talent. - Yeah.
Now that the group final's in sight,
I'm bringing that same determination,
Because one thing's for sure.
This cow isn't coming home anytime soon.

Why you always hitting me, cow?
That was outstanding. Best performance of the night.
- That was milky and buttery. - Nicole: Yeah.
With that vocal and your rendition of it, you just command the stage.
- Ken: Yes, I agree. - Nick: Indeed.
Well, let's get a clue.
- Welcome back the amazing kate flannery. - Yo!

All right, kate, what do you have for us now?
Well...
Fantastic.

- Ken: Oh! - Moo-sical!
All: Moo-sical.
Oh, my gosh. Maybe they're from the theater.
Well, the 2000s were really, really good to me.
So much, in fact, that I got to star in a moo-sical.
- In a moo-sical. - Nicole: Oh, my gosh.
'cause I'm a cow. Moo. Moo-sical.
Got it. Y'all make some noise for kate flannery one more time...
- Ken: Yay! - ...And her moo-sical clue.
- Thank you. - You got it? You got it? You got it?
- This is somebody big. - Nick: Is that helping you guys out at all?
Well, we definitely believe this is a seasoned, professional performer.
- Yeah. - We've heard about hanging on the wall of capitol records.
So some of the names that come to mind in this world are mario,
And he was in "rent: Live."
- Yes. - Neo was in "the wiz: Live."
- Yes. - Jason derulo was in the "cats" movie.
- Sorry, jason. - ( laughter )
But the vocals seems to feel like neo to me.
- That would be amazing if neo was here. - I would love it.
Nicole: Yeah. I was thinking the same thing.
But then when I think of musical,
I think of my friend taye diggs.
Robin: Ooh, taye can sing.
Nicole: He did the movie musicals "rent" and "chicago."
- He's super talented. - And then we had the judge gavel.
- Robin: That's right. - And he had a show in the early 2000s called "kevin hill."
- Yes. - They only lasted one season.
- I'm sorry. - Ken: Oh, man.
But that doesn't matter because, cow, you're gonna be here all season, my love.
- Robin and ken: Yeah. - Jenny: Yes!
Well, the place is still going crazy for the cow.
Y'all give it up for such a great performance.
Cow, head on back, check in with your opponents.
Who is that? Like, they're in character.

♪ who is that?
Welcome back. The results are in.
- ( groans ) - in the smackdown
Between pickle and s'more,
The singer taking the last spot
In the group a finals is...
( no audible dialogue )
Aah, I don't want either of them to go!
- S'more! - Oh!
S'more, congratulations. You get to keep it on.
Head on back and we'll see you again in the group a finals.
Men in black, help the s'more out.
- Come on, s'more! - Yeah!
But, ladies and gentlemen, let's keep it going for the pickle.
( chanting ) pickle! Pickle! Pickle! Pickle!
( chanting continues )
- I cannot wait to see who's under this mask. - Me, too.
Pickle, we hate to see you go,
But we cannot wait to see who you are.
- Yes. - But, panel, you know what time it is.
- Oh, my god, I forgot. - We need your final guesses.
Okay, look, one of the first clues we ever had was he is winning.
And the connection to a real housewife,
I think this could be the one and only charlie sheen, y'all.
- Ken: That's a good guess. - Nick: Winning!
- Nicole: Winning! - Ken: Yeah.
All right, dr. Ken, who's this pickle?
I'm going back to my first guess.
The way he's interacting with nick cannon,
I think pickle is howard stern.
Is this the big dog? Is the king of all media?
No, it's a terrible guess.
I still think comedian, tall, lanky.
The "friends" clue, he's got a podcast
Called "conan o'brien needs a friend."
- I think is conan o'brien. - Ooh, that's pretty good, jenny.
- Irish green, too. - Yeah!
Finally, mr. Robin thicke, who do you believe the pickle is?
I didn't think I knew who it was until the smackdown.
- Really? - It was the dance moves and him dance--
I've seen these dance moves before.
And if that is not joel mchale,
- Then I have never seen joel mchale dance before. - Shut up.
I think the pickle is joel mchale.
- You think the pickle is joel mchale? - Absolutely.
- Wait, is that-- I'ma tell you something. - Nicole started that guess.
If that's joel mchale, who's getting the credit?
- This girl with two thumbs, okay? - Ken: Yeah.
I have danced onstage with joel mchale.
- I think you might be right. - Those are his dance moves.
No, joel-- joel's not talented enough to be here on "the masked singer."
- I'm just saying. No way. - All right, well...
- Oh, my gosh, who is it? - Wow. That would be fun if it is.
That's it. Let's see if any of you are correct.
Audience, you know the drill.
You know what time it is. Say it with me.
( chanting ) take it off! Take it off!
( chanting continues )
♪ who are you?
It's definitely joel. It's definitely joel.
- You gotta take it off. - ♪ I really wanna know
- No, you gotta take it off! Stop running away! - It's gotta be a huge star.
- ( robin laughing ) - who is it?
- Take it off! - Take it off!
- Actor, comedian, director... - Ken: Oh, my--
- Oh, my god! - Oh, my--
...Podcaster, tiktoker, and my friend...
- Oh, my god! - No way!
- Had me fooled. - Michael rapaport!
- Oh, wow. - That's fantastic.
- Nicole: Oh, my gosh. - None of you got it right.
- I should have known that. - I knew the whole time.
Amazing. He's amazing! I love him.
Jenny: I can't believe it! My god!
Nick: This is a personal friend of mine.
He is a real competitor, and I know he's really mad
That he did not win "the masked singer."
Mike, tell me what's on your mind, man,
Because I know you are pissed off right now.
Oh, my god.
He's mad, for real. You shoulda won.
I'm not even gonna start with you.
I'm gonna start with you first, ken, you fake-ass doctor.
- Yeah. - You, robin thicke,
I sang about beverly hills, you ( bleep ),
Where you grew up.
And, jenny, I'm calling donnie tonight!
- I'm calling donnie tonight! - Jenny: I know!
- And, lance bass, where is he? - He's over there.
Bye, bye, bye, you ( bleep )!
- Bring it! Bring it! - You did great, michael.
Okay. Oh, no, I didn't just do great.
- I did fantastic. I was unbelievable. - Nicole: You did!
- Fantastic. - You're fantastic!
My rendition of "beverly hills" was fantastic.
The crowd-- the crowd went crazy, okay?
I almost stage dived right into this man's hands.
- We saw that. - I should be at in 'n' out burger chilling right now.
( chanting ) pickle! Pickle! Pickle! Pickle!
( chanting continues )
We've lost control. Nicole, would you like to speak to this crazy man?
Just want to say, like, I don't know you,
But I'm-- I rarely get starstruck.
I'm such a huge, massive fan, and I can't believe you're on the stage.
- Thank you so much. - Well, shame on everybody here, including you, nick cannon!
Don't suck up to me now! You had your chance!
In all seriousness, I had a great time.
I love this show. I love nick. I love all these guys.
The crowd was great. I hope they're feeding you. It was awesome.
- Love you, michael! - I love you.
- Great guy. - It's all a show.
One of the best personalities in the business.
It's been a great pleasure having you here.
- Michael! - Ladies and gentlemen, give it up one more time
For my brother michael rapaport.
Much better than joel mchale. Much better.
