Welcome to "The Masked Singer."
(cheers and applause)
I'm your host, Nick Cannon.
And if you're new to this party,
get ready for the most revealing show on earth.
Tonight five of our remaining singers are back,
but they can't get too comfortable,
because at the end of the night,
the weakest performer will be unmasked
and sent packing.
All right, please welcome
first and foremost, Mr. Robin Thicke.

The beautiful and sensational Jenny McCarthy.

The just as beautiful and sensational Ken Jeong.

And of course the super talented

And tonight, our Dr. Ken

Give it up for the hilarious Joel McHale.
(cheers and applause)
Good to see all of you.
Joel, thanks for being here.
Are you ready for, like, some craziness?
‐Yes. ‐Oh, no.
I don't know what would be crazy about this show.
(laughter)
It's gonna be a good time, though, I guarantee.
Yeah, I feel like I'm already on drugs.
(laughter)
All right, we got a lot to do tonight.
First up, let's hear it for the Lion.
(cheers and applause)
So tall.
NICK: Your first performance
totally tamed our wild panel,
who wondered if you came from a girl group.
So let's all look closely in this video
for any possible clues
about who's behind the mask of the Lion.
(cheers and applause)
(rock music)
LION: After my last performance,
the panel's glowing comments about my voice...
‐Unbelievable! ‐Wow.
LION: Put me on cloud nine.
If you're not a musical artist, then you're lying.
Because that was unbelievable.
LION: Now I feel like a frontrunner.
I've always loved to sing,
but the anonymity of the mask
has made me truly courageous.
(lion roars)
It's like she's leading a charge.
An activist.
LION: For me, growing up in the public eye
has been a gift and a curse.
But I try to use my platform to help others.
It's a lion who believes in something.
Like, "Let's go eat that wildebeest."
Maybe.
LION: And always tell my pride you have to be strong
and stand up for what you believe in.
All about female empowerment.
So Lion's like a protester. Pride.
LION: So tonight I'm gonna give it all I got
and sing my heart out.
Hailey, Idaho.
Halley's Comet.
LION: Because this lion's going to win.

This is gonna be good.
Yeah.

You got another standing ovation.

What a competition.
Dang. How good was the Lion's performance?
You got balls, honey,
singing that song.
That is a really‐‐ it's a classic song.
That was great.
I just love how you're always so poised on stage.
You have such a great stride.

she is a professionally trained singer.
It's unbelievable, your voice.
Power, control.

This‐‐your performance is so powerful.
I'm just trying to figure out...

‐Well, that's part of the show. ‐I know.
I get it, Joel. Let me finish.
‐I... ‐Go ahead.
Am part of your pride.
Hmm? How about that?
Saw a lot of power in that video and in the performance.
Were you guys picking up on any more hints?
JENNY: Yes.
I did notice in this performance
vocally, that she might be a little bit more seasoned,
a little bit older.
NICOLE: I don't necessarily think
that she's a professional singer.
‐Oh. ‐You don't think she is?
I feel more‐‐ maybe I was getting
more of an actor who can sing.
No, no, definitely a seasoned performer.
I don't think so.
KEN: Actually, this is important.
Nicole, last time, you got her to say that
she was in a girls' group, remember that?
Wait, no, she said that "I come from a group of women."
‐Or a tribe. ‐I come from a group of women.
Like a softball team?
(laughter)
I was thinking Kelly Rowland,
but I still think she was part of a girl group.
NICOLE: I don't know if you're from a group.
It said in the package "Hailey."
Maybe it's Hailey Baldwin.
Maybe Nicole's right.
Singer, actress, performer.
‐Astronaut. ‐Activist.
Not astronaut.
‐Electrician. ‐Not electrician.
Welder. Boat captain.
‐Worst guesses, Joel. ‐(laughter)
I say actress.
Emily Blunt.
JENNY: Yeah.
KEN: I see it.
It makes sense to me.
There's so many celebrities, though, that have, you know‐‐
they're an activist, so‐‐
Well, it sounds like we need some more clues, right?
(cheers and applause)
JENNY: I'm gonna ask, um,
do you currently have a platinum album?
AUDIENCE: Ooh.
ROBIN: Yes. KEN: Yet.
‐Yet. NICK: Nothing gold or platinum?
Well, you're definitely on your way.
Ladies and gentlemen, one more time
for the Lion.
Our panel thought one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
Who do you think it is?
I think she's an actress.
I could tell by the singing.
When she sang, I was like,
"She's not a professional singer."
You guys are crazy.
I didn't think she was a professional singer.
Ken did.
LION: You know, singing as the Lion
gives me a confidence that I never knew I had,
and the panel is nowhere close to guessing who I am.
Can you figure it out?
ANNOUNCER: Coming up, the guessing game continues.
PEACOCK: I have performed in Las Vegas.
Who could that be?
ANNOUNCER: With four more incredible performances...
I was thinking Mary Lou Retton.
Mary Lou Retton's 4'11".
She's Ken's height.
ANNOUNCER: And later...
NICK: One of these great characters
will be unmasked and sent packing.
(all screaming)
Oh, my god!
(cheers and applause)
We are back on "The Masked Singer,"
trying to figure out whosungit.
Now, who's behind the mask?
We definitely want to know what you think.
So make sure you use that hashtag
#themaskedsinger and let us know.
Someone famous will be getting unmasked
at the end of tonight's show.
And I feel like I've met this character
on the road somewhere.
Let's all check out the clue video
and see if I might be right about the Deer.
(cheers and applause)
NICK: And that winner is...
the Lion.
(cheers and applause)
DEER: Man, last time I was on that stage,
I was really off my game.
NICK: Sorry, Deer, that means you're in the bottom three
and in jeopardy of being unmasked tonight.
DEER: Being in the bottom ain't my style.
I used to be able to sell salt to a slug.
MAN: All right, Deer used car commercial take one.
(twangy music)
DEER: Come on down to the Moose used car lot.
Okay, it's an athlete that's obviously done commercials.
DEER: Come on up‐‐ MAN: Cut.
DEER: Dang it.
Deer, you're making a donkey of yourself.
This week I gotta give it all I got;
do what I love and throw myself
hooves first into this competition.
And trust me, I know how to throw.

Brett Favre might be the best guess yet.
I gotta be honest with you, Joel.
(cheers and applause)
Why don't we just ask him who he is?
(laughter)
That would be so much faster.
(laughter)
We know from his previous package that he said
he gets knocked down a lot and gets back up.
We thought wrestler. We thought athlete.
He even said "Ravens, beware."
So I thought big Ben Roethlisberger, yeah.
He definitely is famous enough that he did
some type of commercials and has a lot of trophies.
He could be a quarterback.
Terry Bradshaw?
‐Oh! ‐I think Terry Bradshaw
is a great guess.
And also the way that paper was thrown wildly off mark,
you could definitely tell it was Terry Bradshaw.
(laughter)
I want to see if I get a rise out of you.
It sounds like you guys need another clue.
‐Yes. ‐Yes.
DEER: I have multiple world titles.
World titles?
DEER: Started in track and field...
Whoa.
Started.
DEER: Then it went to horses.
Horses. Wow.
ROBIN: Now, as far as horses go,
that means he could be a horse owner.
He could be‐‐he could have taken his money‐‐
And that would be a huge jockey.
‐Yeah. ‐(laughter)
And there are many track and field stars
that go into being professional football players and whatnot.
KEN: Yeah.
I think they're trying to throw us off the scent.
You know, I think it's an NFL player.
I think it's‐‐ it's a quarterback.
You know, maybe it's like the Colts because of the horses.
Especially with all the trophies
and he did a commercial.
Like, he's famous for probably a lot of things,
but mainly probably football.
Yeah.
I know one thing, the Deer
definitely did run the stage.
So y'all keep it going for him.
Deer, we'll see you a little later
for our big vote and our unmasking.
The Peacock will sing next,
and still to come, Unicorn and Monster.
And then the big vote
that will decide who's unmasking‐‐
And they must take it off.
Be careful, man.
We don't want the Deer to fall.
The Deer is just roaming.
Someone, please.
Our panel thought one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
And if the Deer loses the vote tonight,
we'll find out if they're right.
What does the horse thing mean?
'Cause they're‐‐it could be the Colts or the Broncos

Yep.

Welcome back.
Now, we're in the middle of
a dramatic whosungit mystery.
At the end of the night,
one of our singing celebrities will be unmasked.
Next up, let's study every feather in this video
for any hint about the Peacock.

PEACOCK: When I stepped on that stage for the first time,
I loved being able to perform
without anyone knowing who I was.
It was absolutely exhilarating.
And I felt like I was five years old.
ROBIN: Way to kick it off.

different incarnations of my career,

Some dramatic roles.
He could be an actor.
Yeah, a little bit of everything.
PEACOCK: And tonight I'm gonna push myself
harder than I ever have before

(audience chanting "Peacock!")
NICK: That's what I'm talking about, Peacock.
Panel?
You're obviously a pro.
I think you're a professional singer.
You are, like, one of the frontrunners of this.
I was really into it.
So good on you.
I thought it was another
electrifying performance, Peacock.
I feel like you are a natural born performer.
Because you were on that hydraulic lift,
and that was really high, and you were just,
like, chilling up there.
You were having a ham sandwich.
I don't know what you were doing.
You just felt so natural up there.
This is by far the greatest singing performance
I've ever seen from someone wearing a peacock mask.
And it is incredible.
I was scared when you were up on the lift,
'cause peacocks can't fly.
And‐‐but‐‐
Actually, they can.
Well, they look fly. I know that.
Okay, okay.
It was really great.
Now, we saw an amazing performance.
We also saw the package.
Now, were there any hints that you guys picked up on?
Well, we have picked up a whole bunch
from his previous performance.
We know he's a showman.
We know he's a musician.
We also get a lot of comedic timing from him.
We were talking about maybe he's hosted
very important shows like the Oscars before or‐‐
It's Neil Patrick Harris.
Ooh.
(cheers and applause)
Last time I asked if he was a magician of some sort.
ROBIN: Yeah, he's definitely a professional performer.
We've been getting magician.
Like Criss Angel maybe or David Copperfield.
The name David Copperfield hasn't been thrown around.
Oh, that's a good one.
He said something about dramatic roles,
so maybe an actor with some stage background?
I was gonna say David Hasselhoff.
(laughter)
Great job, Nicole.
(laughter)
He's definitely maybe performed in Vegas.
There was a lot of clues of Vegas.
Then I noticed in the clue package,
there was a black‐and‐white image of fans,
meaning he might be an older celebrity.
So I'm going with an OG
that might still perform in Vegas today.
PEACOCK: I have performed in Las Vegas.
‐(all gasping) ‐Whoa.
That's pretty major.
I'm starting to think Tom Jones at this point.
JENNY: It's a good guess.
Whoever you are, you're used to the stage.
You were born to be up there.
PEACOCK: Why, thank you.
Yes.
All right, well, it sounds like you guys
are definitely picking up on these hints.
Ladies and gentlemen, one more time for the Peacock.
Our panel thought one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
Who do you think it is?
(cheers and applause)
Now, he still could be a comic.
It could‐‐all these clues could be a red herring.
‐It could be, like‐‐ ‐Kevin Costner?
(laughter)
PEACOCK: After my second performance,
I feel even more confident.
I have really stumped the panel.
I'm gonna strut my fabulous self all the way to the end.
(cheers and applause)
How can you possibly
follow an act like the Peacock?
Well, still to come, Unicorn and Monster.
And then our audience and our panel will vote

UNICORN: For years, I've been lacking confidence
because I lost my sheen.
Lost a sheen.
Her sheen.
‐She lost Charlie Sheen? ‐Yeah.
UNICORN: And before my last performance,
I was so scared.
But as soon as I stepped on that stage...
Sing it, girl!
UNICORN: I was flying high.
Amazing!
UNICORN: I came here to conquer my fear of singing
and of being judged.
To see you here with such confidence,
and you sang great.
‐It's so true. ‐Great job.
UNICORN: And I did it.
So this week I'm gonna exude model behavior.
Model behavior.

You know what I love about you, Unicorn,
is that you're very vulnerable.
Like, I think all of us girls can relate
to being insecure at one time.
I mean, I know that I've had a hard time
convincing people I'm actually real.
But I think your performance was magical.
I almost pooped a rainbow.

NICK: All right, you guys are our expert panel.
Did you guys pick up on any clues?
Well, we know a lot of things about the Unicorn.
We heard about Beverly Hills, insecurities, sensitivities.
But the new part was the word "model behavior."
So maybe you were, you know, from Beverly Hills
and now that you've come into your own,
you've become a model?
I was thinking Denise Richards,
'cause you said "I've lost my sheen."
But she keeps referring to flying,
so I was like, maybe she's a gymnast.
'Cause she said "gold."
JOEL: Oh. ROBIN: You know what?
I really like where you're going with this.
The gold thing. I didn't pick up on that.
Yeah.
ROBIN: Nick, I have a question.
Can you let me know how high her heels are?
I'd like to get a feel for how tall she is.
KEN: Oh, wow.
ROBIN: Yeah, those are pretty tall.
‐So it could be a gymnast. ‐Yeah.
It could be that.
You know, the way she uses her hands
and she's very dainty and sweet
reminds me of Gabby Douglas.
NICOLE: Hmm. JENNY: Okay.
Because she has that kind of
very sweet, shy personality.
In that space, I was thinking of Mary Lou Retton.
KEN: Mary Lou Retton? Yeah.
That's a good thought.
You think it's Mary Lou Retton?
JENNY: Or Aly Raisman.
No, but Mary Lou Retton's 4'11".

was a really tough pill to swallow.
NICK: Our first unmasked singer is, the Hippo.
MONSTER: And when I was given a second chance,
Monster, you will sing another day.
MONSTER: I realized I had to do
a little reset to move forward.
MAN: ♪ I'm running as fast as I can ♪
MONSTER: I took a drive up from the south
in my Caddy to clear my head.
From the south?
MONSTER: And thought about how much
this opportunity means to me.
Oh, he's a New York monster.
MONSTER: I realized that from behind this mask,
I could finally show the world my true self.
(brash music)
So now I'm back in the swing of things.
Swing, swing, baseball?
Oh, baseball player.
MONSTER: And celebrating getting my mind right.
This is a party monster.
Jamie Foxx.
MONSTER: Tonight I'm gonna sing something
completely unexpected
to show I'm the whole package.
It's gonna be fire!
(cheers and applause)
Okay, I got some good clues.

I love Monster.
That was so great.
(cheers and applause)
(audience chanting "Monster!")
Speeding everything up!
(all chanting "Monster!")
Talk to the Monster.
After watching you perform, I'm like,
"This is the weirdest show on television."
(laughter)
100%.
But you really can sing.
It was really great.
You know, to be honest,
I've loved all the performances we've seen tonight,
but that was my favorite.
I mean‐‐
‐Really? ‐I'll tell you why.
‐Really? ‐Yeah, I'll tell you why.
None of the other singers really went for
some big mountaintop note at the end,
and he went all the way to the top.
(cheers and applause)
This was my favorite too, Robin.
I agree with you.
You're so cute.
You are so adorable.
You've thrown me off, because I thought you were a comedian,
but with that voice, I‐‐you are a singer.
You've gotta‐‐ or you've sang before.
Yes.
We gotta figure out if you guys
saw any clues in the performance.
Calm down, Monster.
Or in the video.
First week we really thought it was a rapper.
But he did a country song, you know?
Uh, but‐‐
It did say in the film that he was from the South.
He said coming from the south.
Nelly.
JENNY: Ooh, that's a good one.
He had a grille, sportsmen, Caddy, and swing.
Oh, Caddy. I didn't see Caddy.
‐Yeah. ‐Oh.
Which cad‐‐ like as in a Caddy?
JENNY: Uh‐huh.
You guys picked up on a few clues,
but let's get a clue directly from the Monster.
Hit us up, Monster. What you got?
AUDIENCE: Ooh. ‐Maybe it's a golfer.
Is that crazy to say?
KEN: Maybe he's an athlete who can sing, you know?
Ooh.
That's not a bad idea.
Well, I noticed something new about New York City,
and New York City, obviously the Yankees,
the most popular team in the world.
(cheers and applause)
(laughter)
I would say maybe a recently retired New York Yankee.
Maybe Derek Jeter.
JOEL: Oh. KEN: Oh.
I don't think he's an athlete.
I think he's a comedian.
He's somebody like maybe Broadway, like‐‐
‐Like a physical. ‐He's so light on his feet.
Like someone who's a physical comic.
(cheers and applause)
NICK: I definitely agree.
It's Kevin Hart.
‐(cheers and applause) JOEL: It's Kevin. Aww.
(laughter) JOEL: How dare you?
He's way shorter.
(laughter)
This is a hard one.
‐Yeah. ‐There you have it.
Give it up for Monster.
Our panel thought one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
Who do you think it is?
Tough one. Tough one.
'Cause we don't get a body type
from this kind of a costume.
NICK: When we come back, it's the big vote.
Only four singers will continue,
and one will be unmasked and sent home.
Find out who only on "The Masked Singer."
♪ Who is that? ♪
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer."
(cheers and applause)
I'm Nick Cannon, and I have shared the stage
with some real characters in my time,
but what an honor it is to share the stage right now
with five legendary icons:
The Monster, the Peacock, the Lion,
the Deer, and the Unicorn.
One of these great characters
will be unmasked and sent packing tonight.
The time is here for our studio audience and panel
to vote for their favorite performer.
Okay, you guys ready?
(cheers and applause)
The votes are in.
And there was only 2% difference
between the bottom two singers.
What?
AUDIENCE: Ooh!
Tonight
our masked singer
who must take it off is...
The Deer!
AUDIENCE: Oh!
Oh, no!
Give it up for the Deer, y'all.
You four up here, say your farewells to the Deer.
And go back to the lair.
I wanted the Deer to stay.
You will live to sing another day,
Unicorn, Lion, Peacock, and Monster.
And my friend, the Deer, come here.
Don't try get away too quickly.
Get over here, Deer.
Oh, I like the Deer.
‐I like the Deer too. ‐Yeah.
This is bittersweet for me,
because I hate to see you go,
but I'm glad I'm not gonna be getting stabbed
with them damn antlers.
All right, Deer, before you unmask, guys,
who on earth do you think this is?
Well, we know a lot of things about him.
Athlete, doesn't like the Ravens,
and has multiple championships, world championships, right?
And I actually picked up a very last clue just now.
When I saw him laugh just right now,
he laughed with his shoulders like this.
And I watch‐‐I watch Fox a lot with football,
and I think Terry Bradshaw laughs the exact same way.
I've seen him do this laugh.
Oh, really?
Interesting.
ROBIN: Terry Bradshaw is my guess.
NICK: What about you, Nicole?
You watch a lot of football too.
NICOLE: So much.
Looking at the clues in the past,
I think it's Terry Bradshaw.
Jenny, what about you? Who do you think it is?
Um, I think I'm gonna go with the horses clue.
So the Colts and Broncos quarterback, Peyton Manning.
Ah.
Who is this, Joel?
JOEL: When I saw the Deer
try to walk down the stairs,
I was like, "Those are the knees
of a former NFL player."
(laughter)
Look at him laughing.
So I'm gonna guess what Nicole did.
Terry Bradshaw.
I think I know who this is as well.
Ken!
It's not Terry Bradshaw.
It is someone
who played with a team with a horse on it,
but it's not Peyton Manning.
It is NFL Hall of Famer John Elway.
(cheers and applause)
No way. You're crazy.
NICK: Okay, panel, you've made your final guesses.
Now let's see if any of you were right.
All right, the Deer...
I can't wait to find out who this is.
'Cause I have to know.
Show us who's behind the mask.
If this is Terry Bradshaw, I'm gonna die.
Come on, Terry.

How does this compare?
This was so stressful.
I gotta thank y'all for voting me off.
‐This‐‐ ‐(laughter)
It's been so much fun.
So much fun.
Aww, I love him.
Now, you actually really are a singer.
You put out some albums.
I hate to say that 'cause I heard the judges say
"You're not a singer."

You got a country album; a gospel album.
You gotta go put this‐‐ you gotta put this on
