Nick cannon: Over the past few months,
we've said good-bye to some spectacular stars.
The one and only busta rhymes!
My friend mickey rourke!
Country superstars clint black and lisa hartman black.
Are you kidding me?
Now the pressure is at an all-time high
and group b is feeling the heat,
because there are four incredible singers,
but only half of them will survive the night.
That's right. It's a double unmasking.
- Yeah! - Yeah!

It's the group b finals, and you've never seen
a showdown like this.

Oh, I got it.
If it's not katie couric, it's definitely jamie foxx.
- It's twice the stakes... - Hardest elimination ever.
...And twice the emotion.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm crying because I'm jealous that you're more talented than me.

Welcome to "the masked singer"
and our big group b finals.
- Let's say hello to our panel. - Whoa.
And our guest panelist this week,
she's a two-time emmy-nominated tv icon.
- What? - Say it with me, audience.
( chanting ) take it off! Take it off!
Oh, my goodness!
From "curb your enthusiasm"
and ken's new hit show "I can see your voice,"
- it's cheryl hines! - I know her.
- No, you don't. You don't. - I do.
- Do you know this man? - I don't.
We are literally on tv right after this show together.
I've never seen you in my life.
Why are you trying to impress the host of this show?
I mean, it's nick cannon. Look at him!
- Well, we welcome you to our show, cheryl. - Thank you.
Thank you for hanging out with us and putting up with ken.
- Yay. - Tonight, the four remaining group b singers fight
for two spots in the super six.
Will it be the seahorse, the crocodile,
whatchamacallit, or the serpent?
Now it means that it's gonna be a double elimination.
- Are you guys ready for that? - What?
- Double. - It's gonna be intense. And speaking of intense,
our panel is locked in a battle of their own
with their first impression guesses.
Jenny is in the lead with three points,
but anything could happen tonight.
Let's get this horse race started with an actual seahorse.
Tonight we'll be hearing from friends and family
to get more juicy clues on our singers,
including the seahorse, so check it out.
Seahorse: What an emotional, euphoric ride it's been as the seahorse.
♪ there's nothing I fear
- what the heck? - Wow.
I've loved baring my soul on the stage and feeling every performance.
I didn't know seahorses could give you goosebumps.
And no one knows my true soul better than my spiritual advisor.
Lord knows that seahorse is the real deal.
I'll never forget the first time she came over,
this girl next door with just a backpack and a guitar ready to work.
When she started singing, I was stunned.
I didn't expect such a raw, powerful voice
- so full of emotion. - Ooh, nashville chicken.
- And pickles. - I must confess,
she even made this tough hombre cry.
- Christmas wreath. - Probably recorded a christmas album.
She's just so unassuming. She doesn't even know how good she really is.
Two baby dolls. Does she have twins?
Seahorse, I know you've put in tireless dedication and devotion
to make it to the super six. No one deserves it more.
Can I get an amen?

- That was amazing. - I mean, it might be britney spears up there, nick.
- That was spot on. That was crazy. - I love it. Right?
But then, sis went to some other stratospheric levels with them vocals again.
- To the gods. - ♪ to the gods
she makes it seem so easy that I want to go to karaoke with her.
- Jenny: Right? - Nicole: Yeah.
- I loved it. - Indeed, indeed.
Tonight, we'll be presented with some genuinely game-changing clues
about our group b singers,
and they will be delivered on stage
by a former "masked singer" alum they have a connection with.
- What? - So let's meet seahorse's mask from the past.
- Come on out. - Whoo! Yes!
- Oh, my god. - It's the astronaut, ladies and gentlemen.
Nicole: Yeah! That's my boy. I love astro.
- Hunter hayes. - Let's see the clue, astronaut.
That's right, guys. I've never been in a girl group. Always been solo.
- Okay, okay. - Remember, there was fifth harmony guesses
- and things like that. - Oh, this helps.
Thanks a lot, astronaut. Fly away.
- Bye, astronaut! - You guys picking up on any other clues?
You know who I was thinking it was?
Tonight, when I heard her voice,
I was like, "oh, my god, kesha."
because kesha did a little bit of, like, a christian knockoff song.
- Ken: Oh, okay. - And this could be totally wrong,
but she actually was born with a tail.
I know, weird, but she had it removed.
If you look at the seahorse, she does not have a tail, huh?
- Ooh! - That's what I'm thinking.
- Wow, I am impressed. - That's what I do with the clues, cheryl.
"that's what I do. That's what I do."
I thought from the clue package, you know, I saw the pickles,
and she does hallmark christmas movies.
She's a christian. I feel like it's kellie pickler.
Ah, that's good. That's really good.
That's actually not bad because because kellie actually did
- a duet with hunter hayes. - Oh! Okay.
- There you go. - Just to add a little cherry on top.
- Okay. - Yeah.
- Ken, you have an opinion? - I have several opinions, nick.
- We know. - But just based on the name alone,
it's sia, as in sia-horse.
- Yeah. - It all makes sense.
- That's not that crazy, ken. - I know I'm not crazy, nick!
I'm thinking campfire. She had a hit single "flames."
and I'm thinking baby, baby in the church.
She adopted two teenage sons.
- Oh, wow. - Hence, sia-horse is a saint horse. Sia!
- Jenny: Oh, my god. - Ah.
- ( coughing ) oh, sorry. - Uh-oh. Are you okay?
I'm choking on my own-- um, what I'm--
ken, I will tell you, that's not a bad guess
- because sia can hit them notes. - Nick: Sia got skills.
- That's right. Mm-hmm. - And sia literally always
- covers her face when she sings. - Covers her face.
She would be perfect on "the masked singer."
one thing we do know, that was an amazing performance.
Give it up for the seahorse.
Were the panel's seahorse guesses a load of carp?
Let us know how you feel.
Seahorse: Tonight I wanted to show my versatility
because I know it's such a tight race.
I'm just praying it was enough.
I think it's obvious who can give popcorn and sun
a run for their money, don't you?
- Both: Seahorse. - Yes.
Nick: Coming up, more group b singers
fight for their spot in the super six.
- That was a super six performance right there. - Yes!
Plus, not one, but two unmaskings.
It's a double dose of drama...
- Oh, my goodness! - ...You won't want to miss.
I'm crying because I'm jealous that you're more talented than me.
Welcome back to "the masked singer"
and our big group b finals.
- Whoo! - And next up is the crocodile.
If you're still without snappy guesses for this reptile,
here are some new crocodile clues.
Take a look.
( music playing )
crocodile: This competition means everything to me.
Even I'm surprised by how much blood, sweat, and tears
I've put into to each performance.
But I've always tried to be
the hardest-working person in the room.
Just ask one of my closest friends
who's croco-dialed into my mindset.
I've worked with some of the biggest names in the biz,
but croc is my ride or die.
We've been all around the world together.
Once, we traveled to six continents in 100 hours.
- Six continents? - Someone on world tour maybe?
And despite his hard exterior, he's a total softie
who puts his heart 100% into everything he does,
even if it's just playing video games.
He'll battle with me all night
because he'll relentlessly go step by step
to get the high score.
"step by step." new kids on the block.
Whether it's video games or "the masked singer,"
when it comes to competing, this guy's got a one track mind.
One track, one track.
So, croc, you do you, baby.
Tonight, show these guys a side of yourself
they've never seen before.

- Wow, wow, wow. - Got everybody on they feet, my man, crocodile.
I mean, I'm bleeding love right now over that performance.
- Yes, yes. - And those vocals!
Every week you've been dancing, but this week he was like,
"let me tone it all down and show you my--"
- "let me show off my voice." - exactly.
Yes. You just punched your ticket, man.
- That was your best vocals. - That means a lot coming from robin thicke.
- That was great. - 'cause he's not easily impressed.
- I love that you guys are a perfect pair. - Croc and cannon, baby.
He's dressed very pussycroc doll as well.

Nicole: Work! Yasss!
♪ don't you wish your girlfriend was croc like me? ♪
all right, what "masked singer" alum is crocodile connected to?
Bring out the game-changing clue.
- Whoo! - The one and only bee.
Ken: Oh, wow. Look at this!
The bee from the first season was gladys knight.
All the way from a midnight train to georgia.
Let's see the game-changing clue, bee.
- Ken: Oh. - "croc was in a huge cult classic movie."
- I got it. - I got it.
Oh, I got it.
Look, "one track mind" in clues.
That is a 30 seconds to mars song.
And I am thinking the cards in the clues for the song "kings and queens."
- that makes me think of jared leto. - Jenny: Ooh.
- Could it be? - Ken: I'll tell you why. "I was a poor nobody."
he starred in the 2009 film,
which is a cult classic, "mr. Nobody."
well, jared would definitely rock something like that, for sure.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Ken's guesses aren't as crazy as they normally are.
Wait. I just connected it, nick.
So the bee coming out was a huge clue because I was thinking
- who sung with gladys knight? - Oh!
But maybe it's now who sung with gladys knight.
Maybe it's the knight, as in jordan knight, that connects the two.
- Judges: Oh! - Also it said "step by step."
the new kids on the block hit song "step by step."
so, snap, just like the crocodile would do.
Sherlock scherzie in the building.
Well, I'm very excited about this because I started to figure it out.
I got the voice in this and then I went back on the clues.
First clues, there was an american flag and reality.
- American reality. - Oh.
Then there was an italian flag.
Italian on american reality show.
And he's wearing a boa,
which he does in his dr pepper commercials.
The cult movie is "justin and kelly."
it's justin guarini, ladies and gentlemen.
- Oh, that was good! - Let's go!
- Let's go! Let's go! - Where are you going?
- I don't know. I'm excited. - Well, he's up here having a great time.
He gave us a great performance. Ladies and gentlemen, my friend the crocodile.
Our panel guessed pretty much everyone for this reptile
except for crocodile dundee. Tell us what you think.
Crocodile: The competition is so tight,
but I feel like I did everything I could to get into the super six.
Regardless of what happens, I left my soul on that stage,
and I feel incredible.
You know, this is our first double elimination this season.
- Oh, no. - Cheryl, seriously, this is our strongest season by far.
- Really? - We're gonna be like, "can we change the rules?"
- "can we have a super seven?" - let's ask.
♪ who is that?
- ♪ who is that? - Welcome back to "the masked singer"
and our big group b final.
Our next singer on deck is a real competitor.
If you're still clueless on this creature,
here are some more tall tales about this tall talent.
( music playing )
whatcha what? I'm really this close to the super six?
Who would have thunk it? But since my competitors have the handles on singing...
♪ shake, shake, shake your moneymaker ♪
...I'm really hoping my swag will carry me through.
You came here to play! That was amazing.
- Yes! - I've always tried to exceed expectations.
Just ask my high school teacher/mentor.
( whistle blowing ) hey! Hey! I want to see daylight between you two.
Ugh. These kids are always up to something,
- except whatchamacallit. - Coffee? Who endorses coffee? George clooney?
He had a good head on his shoulders,
very focused and hard-working.
- But he could still surprise you. - Crown.
Maybe he was the prom king?
I remember when he was a sophomore,
he brought a senior girl to prom and I thought,
"oh, man. He's gonna be sweating through his tux."
but when he hit the dance floor,
he busted out some serious moves.
Go, whatcha! Go, whatcha!
None of us teachers knew he had it in him.
And I love seeing him continue to surprise me on this stage.
- The queen's guard. - Maybe he's from the uk.
Now get out there and wipe the floor with them, whatcha.

He gets better and better every week.
I know, I know!
Whatchamacallit and the terror squad.
- Wow! - I like how the whole panel was leaning back.
- Even ken got it. - Yeah. I mowed that lawn. I mowed that lawn.
Ken's looks more like, "sore back, sore back."
okay, all right, all right, all right.
I just want to say this was absolutely your best performance,
and I just-- I'm so grateful that you're here getting better each week.
- I can't wait to see where you go, whatchamacallit. - Yeah!
All right, what mask from the past is whatchamacallit connected to?
Bring out the game-changing clue.
Uh-oh. Game-changing.
- Ken: Oh, my goodness. - Jenny: Oh.
- Robin: Oh! - Ice cream from second season.
That was ninja the youtube gamer.
- One of my kids' favorites. - Ice cream!
Let's see that game-changing clue.
What you got?
What is that?
I already won a championship.
- Oh, okay. Okay. - Well, to the point. He explained it.
- Thanks, ice cream. - But did he win, like, a youtuber award championship?
- Nicole: Right. - Maybe a gamer. Maybe a basketball championship.
Oh! Oh! The previous clue package had a musical cleft.
Three notes that was the letter "b."
it was like "b, b, b." maybe big baller brand.
And then it could be lonzo ball
because he has actually won championships in high school.
What is-- what do all the clues of surf candy bars,
hair today, gone tomorrow.
What about his connection to ninja?
How does any of that have to do with lonzo ball?
'cause the ice cream was ninja, who, you know, is a youtube gamer.
And I think lonzo ball is definitely a gamer.
- But then I'm having a-- - ken, you're making sense.
So, I'm thinking-- thank you, daddy.
I need to look good in front of cheryl hines.
And then I just-- I think this could be lonzo ball.
- Nicole, what you thinking? - We saw the whistle.
Made me think of the nba. So I'm thinking basketball players, right?
- Mm-hmm. - We saw marshmallows.
Makes me think of a name that I know, carmelo...
Anthony from the portland trailblazers.
'melo might be a little taller, but...
I mean, his eyeball is up there.
- His eyeball is high. - And he won, I think, a championship in college.
And there was music notes and he's married to la la.
- So, there it is. - I like it, nicole.
I like going on that journey with you.
Cheryl: Wait. Why does everybody think he's an athlete?
I mean, I know tall actors.
My friend j.B. Smoove is very tall.
- Judges: Ah! - J.B.
- Can actually rap really well. - Cheryl: See? And he's a huge nba fan.
And he played in the celebrity all-stars game.
There it is. Great guess right there.
Ladies and gentlemen, one thing we do know
is whatchamacallit blazed the stage.
Go ahead and celebrate backstage, whatchamacallit.
Did our panel call it with their whatchamacallit guesses?
Tell us what you think.
Whatchamacallit: My swag came in clutch tonight.
I'm feeling some serious pride for how far I've come.
Hopefully I can keep the party going in the super six.
♪ who is that?
Need to shed some of my old skin
so I can bring something new to the stage tonight.
Would you guys mind getting that for me?
What?
Welcome back to "the masked singer" group b finals.
It's almost time for our double unmasking,
but first, we've arrived at our final competitor of the night, the serpent.
If you're still scaling the walls for names
for this undercover viper,
here are a few new clues
for you to wrap your head around.
( music playing )
serpent: This whole experience has been so surreal,
but it's going by too fast.
I'm not ready to go back to the real world yet.
No amount of practice could have prepared me for this challenge.
It's so far from where I was just a few years ago.
Just ask my college roommate.
When I met serpent, we were both dirt poor.
We got a cheap apartment together so we could chase our crazy dreams.
- Mayo, peanut butter. - Good mayo.
He suffered through a million setbacks,
but I remember the day when suddenly everything changed.
It was like god finally flipped the light switch.
Serpent wasn't looking for fame. Fame found him.
So maybe he recently became famous.
I was thrilled that he finally received the love and attention he truly deserves.
Ambulance. Another medical show?
But, serpent, a "pizza" advice from someone who knows you well,
you don't sing as well when you're stressed,
so take a breath, calm your nerves,
and imagine yourself in the super six.

So cool, indeed. The coolest serpent.
That was a super six performance right there.
Yeah, that was a great performance.
- I mean, so smooth. - Yep.
- There was something sexy. - Ooh.
- Can I say that on this show? - Yes, yes.
Like, ooh, mesmerized a little bit.
- All right, all right. - Ken, you sound like you're jealous.
I'm not jealous. You know, it's just that I'm jealous.
All right, well, what "masked singer" alum is serpent connected to?
Bring out the game-changing clue.
- Change the game. - What?
- Ken: Oh. - Dr. Drew?
Robin: Dr. Drew. Another doctor reference.
- Oh, my gosh! - Another doctor reference.
Eagle, show us that game-changing clue.
"has sung with one of you before."
it's true. I have sung with one of you before.
- Definitely wasn't me. - Thanks, eagle.
If it was me, the only notable name that could sing like that
that I've been on stage with was jamie foxx
on stand up to cancer events.
It was me, jamie, and katie couric,
so if it's not katie couric, it's definitely jamie foxx.
- Okay. - Oh, maybe.
I think from the clue package, we saw the ambulance,
which made me think of the show "scrubs."
I was on an episode of "scrubs" with donald faison, who sang,
so I think it might be donald.
Wow, that's pretty good. Donald faison.
I haven't found anything that connects the clues,
but the tone of his voice just now in that performance
absolutely reminded me of donald faison.
I think this is someone that I have performed and I've sang with.
- That doesn't narrow it down. - Nicole: Exactly.
But we've gotten so many medical clues.
- Yes. - I think this person is actually a doctor
that I recently had the honor of singing with
on "masked singer: After the mask."
his version of "imagine" went viral
at the beginning of the pandemic.
This is dr. Elvis.
Ken: Oh, that's a great guess.
And also there was mayonnaise in there.
- Mayo, good mayo. Mayo clinic. - Oh, my god, it's so good!
- Ken: Wow. - Jenny: So proud of you right now.
If you haven't met her yet, nic tracy, guys, over here.
Some really, really great guesses, guys.
You should give yourselves a round of applause
and we give the serpent a round of applause
for a sin-sational performance.
You know what's worrying me?
There are two eliminations tonight.
It's gonna be so hard.
Nick: These are our panel's guesses.
Is the serpent a shoe-in to advance to our super six?
Tell us what you think.
Our group b singers brought their a game all night.
But alas, this is a fight for the golden mask trophy,
and only two can advance to the super six.
It's time for the studio audience, our panel,
and our superfans at home
to vote for their favorite of the night.
This was the hardest elimination ever.
The votes are in.
The first singer that is officially moving into the super six is...
Oh, man. This is really happening.
The seahorse!
- Seahorse! - Whoa, seahorse!
Congratulations. We will see you in the super six in a few weeks.
And that leaves just three.
Which two are getting unmasked in our double elimination?
This is hard. To have two people go home?
Find out after the break.
Oh, man, are you kidding me?
That ain't right! Ah!
♪ who is that?
Welcome back to the group b finals.
The first singer to unmask in tonight's double elimination is...
This is so hard.
Whatchamacallit.
Ladies and gentlemen, keep it going for whatchamacallit.
Crocodile and serpent, you're still safe for now.
- I liked whatchamacallit. - Whatchamacallit, my brother, you did your thing.
So sorry to see you go, but we can't wait to see who you are.
It is time for first impression guesses.
- Oh, no. We don't-- we don't have time to do it. - No!
Let's bring them out of the vault!
Men in black, bring 'em out.
I think we gotta go to "I can see your voice," like, sooner.
Yeah, go to ken's show right now.
Now remember, panel, if your first impression guess is correct,
- you get a point. - Uh, uh...
These aren't that bad except for-- whoa.
We'll get to nicole's in a minute.
No! I don't even know what I put.
- But we'll start with ken. - Oh, no.
Damian lillard. You sticking with it?
Um, no. Initially, you had dimes in the package.
So, yeah, I was definitely thinking of dame lillard amazing point guard.
But then as he was performing and evolving,
I had a bit of an epiphany and there was, like, a brewing coffee in it.
That was also, like, he was a star of the ucla bruins.
I'm gonna go with lonzo ball on this one.
Well, robin, your first impression guess was tyler, the creator.
Yes, that was right on the money.
Uh, then I starting thinking it might be michael strahan.
- Jenny: Ooh. - Because when he says others absorbed the spotlight,
that could have been the quarterback of the team.
That could have been him and kelly. The kellys--
- you know what I mean? There's a lot of situations. - He's that tall, too.
- He's very tall. - I'm sticking with michael strahan for now.
Definitely he could be this height, indeed. Jenny?
- Yes, nick. - Your first impression guess-- winston duke.
Ken: That's a good guess.
Well, we saw a panther in the clue package.
So I thought, okay, "black panther" movie, winston duke.
And then I looked more in the clue packages and we saw the high fives.
That's a very basketball thing to do. The whistle.
So I'm like, okay, jenny, lean more towards basketball.
When I saw the crown, I thought, okay, who's maybe dating royalty?
And the royal family of reality are the kardashians
and he's dating kendall jenner right now.
So I thought, you know what? Maybe it could be devin booker.
- All right. - That's a good guess.
All right, on to sherlock scherzie.
- Wah, wah. - Uncle itt.
Cousin itt's daddy right here.
- Right there. - So are you sticking with that?
No, nick.
I was picking up on the basketball clues as well.
But this week, I was thinking, okay, we got marshmallows
in the clue package.
Somebody who's hella tall. Carmelo anthony.
And, miss cheryl, who do you believe uncle itt is?
I still think it's my pal j.B. Smoove.
He's tall. 6'4". He can rap.
He can do anything, let's be honest.
- Great energy. All right. - Yeah.
- Jenny: I like it. - Yay!
- ( music playing ) - well, okay, panel,
you've made your final guesses.
Now it's time to see who's right and who's ken jeong wrong.
Whatchamacallit, who are you?
Audience, say it with me.
( chanting ) take it off! Take it off!
♪ who, who, who, who
♪ who are you?
♪ who, who, who, who
- ♪ who - michael! Strahan!
♪ tell me who are you, you, you ♪

- Lonzo ball! - ( screaming )
- you did it! - Nick: Nba superstar and rapper.
- Kenny! - ( screaming )
ken jeong right!
You actually did something right!
- Ken, you got something right once in life. - Oh, my god.
Oh, my god. I am a big fan!
It's lonzo ball. I love you! Oh, my god.
Nick: Lonzo, my man! You had us all fooled except for ken.
What would make you do a show like this and be the whatchamacallit?
Yeah, I mean, I love music, I love performing.
So this kind of brought it all together,
and I knew my mom watches this,
- so it's gonna definitely put a smile on her face... - Aww.
- ...When she sees my helmet come off. - Jenny: He loves his mama!
The funny thing is he's already so accomplished and we've been follow--
you know, that you forget how young he is.
- Ken: Yeah. - 22, right?
- Incredible. - And I'm 23.
- We're like the same age. - No, you're not, ken.
What's been the best part about being the whatchamacallit?
The best part is just coming out here and doing what I love to do
without anybody judging me, not knowing who I am.
- Yeah. - You rocked it, too, man!
- I had a lot of fun performing for y'all. - Ladies and gentlemen,
you gotta give it up one more time for lonzo ball.
And to sing, or just lean back with it one last time,
the artist formerly known as whatchamacallit.
Give it up for lonzo ball!
- Yeah! - Robin: Yeah!

welcome back to "the masked singer" group b finals.
I'm here with crocodile and serpent.
One is headed to the super six.
The other is headed home.
And our second singer of group b headed home tonight is...
The serpent.
Ladies and gentlemen, keep it going for the serpent.
And make some noise for the crocodile
'cause that means, crocodile,
you're advancing to the super six.
- Congratulations. - Crocodile looks surprised.
Y'all keep it going for the serpent.
He did an amazing job.
We are so sorry to see you go,
but we can't wait to see who you are.
But first, let's retrieve the panel's first impression guesses...
- No! - Yay!
...From the vault!
Oh, men in black, bring 'em out.
This happened so long ago I forgot what my first guess was for.
All right, ken, we'll start with yours.
- Your first impression guess... - Okay.
...Was usher.
- Ah! - Okay.
- Nick: You sticking with it? - Ken: No, I'm not.
First of all, serpent, I just want to say this is, like,
legitimately the toughest season we've ever had.
- Yeah. - And honestly, you are a winner and you're amazing.
And speaking of amazing, going back to my clues and my guesses,
if you're the person I'm thinking of,
there was lots of books, you know, in that clue package.
And he graduated from brown university, an ivy league school.
Honestly, I'm going back to daveed diggs.
- All right. All right. - That's what I'm thinking. Dig it.
- That's not bad. - Nick: Well, nicole, you were in the same
musical theater realm. You said it's your friend oak from "hamilton."
- that was your first impression. - Nicole: Yes.
I thought it could be oak from "hamilton" going off of the vocals.
- But they kept doing medical clues. - Right?
And I had the honor of performing with dr. Elvis.
So I'm really hoping that this is the singing surgeon.
All right. Well, that's pretty good.
Jenny, you said john legend.
- Oh, yeah. Right? - Are you gonna stick with that?
No, I've moved on, even though his voice is just as stellar.
But with the doctor clues, "private practice."
also, that light switch we saw? "guiding light."
I'm going to stick with taye diggs actually.
All right. Mic dropped!
- Okay, okay. - All right, well, robin, your first impression guess,
wanya morris.
Robin: Wanya, yeah, that's right.
The lead singer of boyz ii men.
The first performance definitely had that tone in the upper range.
- Absolutely. - And then cheryl and I kind of looked at each other
at the same time over the scrubs,
and she was thinking donald faison.
I'm gonna follow cheryl's guess and go with donald faison.
- All right. - Like that.
- Nick: Well, cheryl... - Cheryl: Yeah?
Robin thicke is biting your swag a little bit.
- I'm biting on it. I'm biting on it. - Cheryl: No, but it's good.
It sounds like it could be donald.
We all know him very well from "scrubs."
and in that package, we had the-- literally had a scrub brush.
I feel pretty sure that it's donald.
All right. Well, panel, everybody has their final guesses in.
Let's see how many of you are right.
Audience, say it with me.
- ( chanting ) take it off! Take it off! - ♪ who are you?
♪ who, who, who, who
- oh, my gosh. I hope it's the singing surgeon. - ♪ who are you?
- Ah! - ♪ who, who, who, who
♪ who
♪ tell me who are you, you, you ♪
- ♪ who are you? - Oh, my goodness! Dr. Elvis!
Viral superstar and first responder! My man!
- The singing doctor, dr. Elvis! - You got me. You got me.
- She got it! - That's awesome.
- I picked up on the vibes.
'cause like nicole, on "after the mask,"
you were singing for us during the quarantine.
But now, to sing for us as the serpent, man, how does it feel?
I mean, this is unbelievable. It's a once in a lifetime kind of situation.
Very different from what I do on a day to day basis.
But something I'll never forget for the rest of my life.
Nick: And we will never forget you.
It's a real blessing, and I think it's the perfect time
for you to be on the show right now. Thank you.
- Honored, honored. - Thank you so much for everything you do.
Thank you, thank you. But I appreciate all that you all do.
Patients often times turn on the television while they're in their hospital beds.
And coming in and watching a patient watching "the masked singer,"
putting a smile on their face, it's just an incredible way
for us to move forward together.
And I'm just happy to play a small part and humbled.
Nick: Very well said.
I just have to say you got-- your version of "imagine"
got us through the pandemic, man.
- I appreciate that. - So, quarantine, man?
You don't know, like--
that living room concert you did on fox,
that was the first time we saw it.
And in a concert of stars,
it was elton john,
billy joel, everybody,
the best moment of that living room concert,
um, was you.
And I told my wife, who's also a doctor,
"you know, that's-- that's what a real doctor does, man."
you just-- he's an orthopedic surgeon.
I was a generalist. This guy is smarter than any doctor on the planet,
and there's just truly no one more talented than him.
And I'm crying because I'm jealous that you're more talented than me.
And, uh-- but I just want you to know, man,
you just got us through a very difficult time,
- and we love you so much. - Indeed.
I mean, that means the world-- that means the world to me.
- I'm pretty sure... - I'm sorry.
...There's so many audience members and people at home...
I love you, ken.
Nick: ...Who feel exactly the same way.
Let's hear it one more time for dr. Elvis, y'all.
- Robin: Whoo! - Jenny: Yes!
And thank you to the great cheryl hines
for joining the panel tonight.
- Cheryl! - Here to perform unmasked once and for all,
the artist formerly known as the serpent.
It's dr. Elvis!
Yay!
