It's masked singer

With two unmaskings,

only one hero
can come out on top.
9
00:00:20,771 --> 00:00:24,064
They're all after the coveted
masked singer trophy.

It's time to bring their
superpowers to the stage.

"the masked singer: The good,

for a side by side
final showdown.
28
00:01:21,665 --> 00:01:26,877
Three singers,

00:01:26,921 --> 00:01:30,839

00:01:30,925 --> 00:01:35,260

( cheering )
35
00:01:43,646 --> 00:01:47,356
tonight we have a special guest
detective joining our panel.
36
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:49,024
- What?
- I didn't know that.
37
00:01:49,068 --> 00:01:51,360
- Who?
- Come on out.
38
00:01:55,574 --> 00:01:57,533
Jenny: Oh, my god.
39
00:01:57,576 --> 00:01:59,576
Oh, my god. Who is it?
40
00:02:01,580 --> 00:02:05,999
- Jenny: What an entrance. Wow!

00:02:21,016 --> 00:02:24,518

00:02:35,656 --> 00:02:37,823
Welcome back.
It's so good to see you again.
49
00:02:37,867 --> 00:02:41,827
- Well, thank you.
- Welcome back to
"the masked singer."
50
00:02:41,871 --> 00:02:44,288
all right,
mr. Jordan, we're doing things
a little differently
51
00:02:44,331 --> 00:02:46,123
since the last time
you were with us.
52
00:02:46,167 --> 00:02:48,250
Now we have teams,
53
00:02:48,294 --> 00:02:50,127
so you have to pick which team
you wanna be a part of.
54
00:02:50,129 --> 00:02:53,255
Now you can be team good,
team bad, or team cuddly.
55
00:02:53,257 --> 00:02:55,465
- Come on! Come on.
- Which team you picking?
56
00:02:57,094 --> 00:02:58,969
- Cuddly, come on, leslie!
- Cuddly!
57
00:02:58,971 --> 00:03:00,137
Nick: They can't handle
the anticipation.
58
00:03:00,181 --> 00:03:01,972
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Ken: Cuddly!
59
00:03:01,974 --> 00:03:04,266
- Shh, shh.
We have to see. Leslie?

60
00:03:04,351 --> 00:03:06,643
Ken: Yeah!
61
00:03:06,687 --> 00:03:09,479
Nick: Well, we're excited
to have you here.
62
00:03:09,565 --> 00:03:11,940
Go ahead and head over
to our luxurious panel.
63
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:16,028
- Ken: Leslie jordan!
- Let's check out who will be
64
00:03:16,071 --> 00:03:18,113
bringing it tonight.
65
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:22,618
From team good,
armadillo and ringmaster!
66
00:03:22,661 --> 00:03:26,371
Nicole: It's gonna be a clean
sweep for team good, y'all.
67
00:03:26,415 --> 00:03:27,789
Yes!
68
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:30,125
And from team cuddly,
69
00:03:30,127 --> 00:03:33,128
- miss teddy!
- Ken: Yeah!
70
00:03:34,298 --> 00:03:35,797
Nick: With no singers
left in this round,
71
00:03:35,841 --> 00:03:39,843
but two still waiting in
the wings for the next round,
72
00:03:39,887 --> 00:03:41,845
it's the bad.
73
00:03:41,889 --> 00:03:44,139
- Yeah!
- Oh!
74
00:03:44,183 --> 00:03:47,976
This is it.
Are y'all with me?
75
00:03:47,978 --> 00:03:50,479
And starting off the night,
it's team cuddly.
76
00:03:50,564 --> 00:03:53,232
Yeah! Yeah!
77
00:03:53,317 --> 00:03:54,691
Let's start it! Let's go!
78
00:03:54,735 --> 00:03:56,276
Nick: They say a picture
is worth a thousand words,
79
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,111
so let's take an abstract look
80
00:03:58,155 --> 00:04:00,322
into miss teddy's
gallery of clues.
81
00:04:00,366 --> 00:04:03,867
But try not to just focus
on all the cuteness,
82
00:04:03,911 --> 00:04:07,496
because everything and anything
can be a clue.
83
00:04:12,294 --> 00:04:14,962
Miss teddy: Some may say
my career is a masterpiece.
84
00:04:15,005 --> 00:04:17,005
As a young teddy,
85
00:04:17,049 --> 00:04:18,173
I didn't know
what I was getting into.
86
00:04:18,175 --> 00:04:21,343
So I followed my heart
and took a chance.
87
00:04:21,387 --> 00:04:24,221
Maybe this person's worked
with eddie murphy?
88
00:04:24,265 --> 00:04:27,099
I was beyond nervous
for my first audition,
89
00:04:27,101 --> 00:04:29,017
but I landed the job,
90
00:04:29,061 --> 00:04:31,061
and it turns out
that was the only audition
91
00:04:31,105 --> 00:04:32,980
I would ever have to take.
92
00:04:33,023 --> 00:04:35,148
I was an instant success.
93
00:04:35,192 --> 00:04:37,818
The supremes could mean
it's a singing legend.
94
00:04:37,820 --> 00:04:40,028
Miss teddy:
But it wasn't easy.
95
00:04:40,072 --> 00:04:43,156
I've had my ups and downs.
96
00:04:43,242 --> 00:04:45,534
I was afraid
if I wasn't using my talent,
97
00:04:45,577 --> 00:04:47,911
no one would love me.
98
00:04:47,955 --> 00:04:51,873
But my fans made me realize
that wasn't true.
99
00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:54,584
So tonight I want to make it
to the finals for them,
100
00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:58,171
to give back the love
that they've given me
for decades.
101
00:04:58,173 --> 00:05:00,424
This means everything to me.
102
00:05:02,219 --> 00:05:04,219
Jenny: I love this character.
103
00:05:04,221 --> 00:05:07,264
She is an amazing singer,
like, legendary.
104
00:05:07,308 --> 00:05:09,057
We would say diva icon.
105
00:05:09,101 --> 00:05:12,060

159
00:07:55,058 --> 00:07:57,601
Our special guest panelist

the one and only leslie jordan,
please talk to miss teddy.
161
00:08:00,606 --> 00:08:02,939
I'm just gobsmacked.
162
00:08:02,941 --> 00:08:04,900
- Nick: Gobsmacked?
- Gobsmacked.
163
00:08:04,943 --> 00:08:06,818
I grew up in the church,
164
00:08:06,820 --> 00:08:08,945
and I used notice as a kid
165
00:08:08,947 --> 00:08:10,989
that when
the women stepped forward
166
00:08:10,991 --> 00:08:13,200
the ones that planted
their feet,
167
00:08:13,243 --> 00:08:16,036
- you better watch out.
- Oh!
168
00:08:16,038 --> 00:08:17,245
They're gonna blow you
to kingdom come.
169
00:08:17,289 --> 00:08:18,288
You planted your feet.
170
00:08:18,332 --> 00:08:21,041
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Nicole: Yes!
171
00:08:21,043 --> 00:08:25,879
I love that.
Looking at the clues,
we've seen a grammy.
172
00:08:25,923 --> 00:08:27,797
- Yep.
- We saw the gospel.
173
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:28,965
That's right.
174
00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:32,469
I think this could be
yolanda adams.
175
00:08:32,513 --> 00:08:35,764
She had a number one
best-selling gospel album.
176
00:08:35,807 --> 00:08:38,058
But the eddie murphy
really got me.
177
00:08:38,101 --> 00:08:39,351
Hear me out.
178
00:08:39,394 --> 00:08:41,228
Yolanda adams saw me perform.
179
00:08:41,271 --> 00:08:44,397
- No, she did not.
- She did. I swear!
180
00:08:44,441 --> 00:08:48,151
I swear. I would never lie
in front of a gospel singer.
181
00:08:48,195 --> 00:08:52,155
Yolanda saw me perform
at the laugh factory,
182
00:08:52,199 --> 00:08:55,242
and after my set she said,
"you're no eddie murphy."
183
00:08:55,285 --> 00:09:01,164
so I'm saying
this could be yolanda adams.
184
00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:02,290
- Good guess.
- Nick: Leslie?
185
00:09:02,334 --> 00:09:04,584
I'm stuck on three supremes.
186
00:09:04,628 --> 00:09:07,754
I know you're not diana ross,
I don't think.
187
00:09:07,798 --> 00:09:11,091
But you could be cindy birdsong
188
00:09:11,093 --> 00:09:12,884
who was the third supreme
189
00:09:12,886 --> 00:09:15,303
or mavis staples.
190
00:09:15,347 --> 00:09:16,888
- Great guesses.
- Robin: Yeah.
191
00:09:16,932 --> 00:09:20,058
She's won grammys.
She's gospel.
192
00:09:20,102 --> 00:09:21,977
I'm gonna say mavis staples.
193
00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:23,103
That's a great guess
right there.
194
00:09:23,397 --> 00:09:24,521
- Ken: Great guess, leslie.
- Robin: Great guess.
195
00:09:24,606 --> 00:09:27,232
I just love leslie saying
"mavis staples."
196
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:30,360
- leslie: Mavis!
- Like, only he can
say it like that.
197
00:09:30,404 --> 00:09:33,321
Okay, I'm jumping on
the supreme clue as well.
198
00:09:33,365 --> 00:09:38,034
I know that my diva has
performed with miss diana ross.
199
00:09:38,078 --> 00:09:39,953
Plus we saw
the number one ribbon.
200
00:09:39,997 --> 00:09:45,125
She had number one
billboard chart song called
"I will survive."
201
00:09:45,168 --> 00:09:48,003
plus, last time
the mega clue was grammys.
202
00:09:48,005 --> 00:09:51,089
She's won two.
I think this is gloria gaynor.
203
00:09:51,133 --> 00:09:53,049
- All right.
- Robin: Good guess.
204
00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:56,886
Gloria can sing.
I love gloria gaynor.
205
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:59,055
All great voices, but tonight
206
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:02,267
an astounding performance
by miss teddy.
207
00:10:02,269 --> 00:10:05,103
You crushed it, indeed.
208
00:10:05,147 --> 00:10:07,314
And we wanna know who you
think miss teddy is
209
00:10:07,357 --> 00:10:10,317
by using that hashtag,
#themaskedsinger.
210
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,278
Armadillo is up next
and ready to claim
211
00:10:13,322 --> 00:10:15,989
that last spot
in the season finale.
212
00:10:15,991 --> 00:10:18,325
And later the good
and the cuddly
213
00:10:18,368 --> 00:10:20,994
sing together
in the final showdown.
214
00:10:21,038 --> 00:10:23,496
Two celebrities will lose
their masks
215
00:10:23,540 --> 00:10:26,082
and their chance
at the golden mask trophy.
216
00:10:26,126 --> 00:10:27,417
- We'll be right back.
- Yeah!
217
00:10:27,419 --> 00:10:30,295
Cuddly! Cuddly!
218
00:10:37,929 --> 00:10:38,928
♪ who is that?
219
00:10:38,930 --> 00:10:41,598
- What team are you?
- Team baddie.
220
00:10:41,642 --> 00:10:44,768
But there's no baddies left
in this round.
221
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:46,770
So that means I have to join
a team in order to root--
222
00:10:46,855 --> 00:10:50,106
- come over to
the light side, jenny.
- Pick me! Cuddly.
223
00:10:50,108 --> 00:10:51,650
I'm going team good with nicole.
224
00:10:51,693 --> 00:10:53,902
- What?
- Fine, we don't need
your cuddles.
225
00:10:55,697 --> 00:11:00,283
Welcome back to
"the masked singer: The good,
the bad, and the cuddly,"
226
00:11:00,327 --> 00:11:03,244
the final week of round two.
227
00:11:03,288 --> 00:11:05,121
We've got
two unmaskings tonight.
228
00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:08,958
But first,
check out the competition
from team good--
229
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,835
armadillo.
230
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:12,295
Let's enter
the armadillo's museum
231
00:11:12,339 --> 00:11:14,839
to see his latest
canvas of clues.
232
00:11:14,883 --> 00:11:19,427
Keep your eyes peeled.
Anything and everything
can be a hint.
233
00:11:23,767 --> 00:11:28,061
Armadillo:
Let me paint a picture
of who I once was.
234
00:11:28,105 --> 00:11:31,064
Even though I'm team good,
I used to be bad,
235
00:11:31,108 --> 00:11:34,275
and I'm talking behind bars
kind of bad.
236
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:37,862
I was the fast track
to being roadkill.
237
00:11:37,906 --> 00:11:39,781
- Ooh, he's been locked up...
- Wow.
238
00:11:39,825 --> 00:11:41,282
Maybe ice-t?
239
00:11:41,284 --> 00:11:43,076
...Until I received
a piece of advice
240
00:11:43,078 --> 00:11:45,078
that shook me to my shell.
241
00:11:47,124 --> 00:11:50,583
I was told I had the power
to transform my life.
242
00:11:50,627 --> 00:11:54,295
I just had to find my passion
and my faith.
243
00:11:54,297 --> 00:11:58,883
So tonight is a song
my mother sang to me to get me
through those tough times.
244
00:11:58,885 --> 00:12:04,097
My bond with her is what's going
to get me into the finale.
245
00:12:04,099 --> 00:12:06,141
The texas flag as well in there.
246
00:12:06,184 --> 00:12:09,144

I see some scherzinger tears
over there.
268
00:14:02,425 --> 00:14:05,593
Yeah, you brought out
the scherzi tears, armadillo.
269
00:14:05,637 --> 00:14:10,056
That's one of the best versions
of "amazing grace"
I've ever heard.
270
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:12,725
Because you believed it,
and so did I.
271
00:14:12,769 --> 00:14:15,353
- Aw.
- Armadillo: Aww.
Thank you so much.
272
00:14:15,397 --> 00:14:17,689
That's gonna make me cry now,
nicole.
273
00:14:17,732 --> 00:14:18,940
Nick:
Maybe everyone else can't tell,
but I can tell you,
274
00:14:19,234 --> 00:14:21,860
that song, and even right now
you're a little emotional.
275
00:14:21,862 --> 00:14:25,321
- Can you tell us why?
- ( voice breaking )
that was my mom...
276
00:14:25,365 --> 00:14:28,157
( crying )
...Her favorite song.
277
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:29,033
Oh.
278
00:14:30,370 --> 00:14:32,370
Nick:
Robin, you were moved as well.
279
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:34,998
- I sing that song to my son
just about every night.
- Jenny: Oh.
280
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,919
And, you know,
years ago when I was going
through my toughest times,
281
00:14:39,963 --> 00:14:42,714
those lyrics would resonate
with me,
282
00:14:42,757 --> 00:14:45,967
and it was my son
and my children
that saved me, you know?
283
00:14:46,011 --> 00:14:48,261
And I really appreciate
you putting that down.
284
00:14:48,305 --> 00:14:51,890
Armadillo just getting us
all emotional here.
285
00:14:51,933 --> 00:14:55,101
But now we gotta get
our guessing game on,
and we got our clue expert.
286
00:14:55,145 --> 00:14:58,354
- Jenny mccarthy is very
anxious to get to guessing.
- Go for it, jenny.
287
00:14:58,398 --> 00:15:01,316
I mean, sometimes the clues
are like, "duh."
288
00:15:01,359 --> 00:15:03,192
and sometimes they're like,
"huh?"
289
00:15:03,194 --> 00:15:05,403
and tonight is a "duh."
290
00:15:07,365 --> 00:15:10,241
because if you look back,
we have the mega clue
291
00:15:10,285 --> 00:15:11,868
which was a motorcycle.
292
00:15:11,912 --> 00:15:14,120
Then we see also handcuffs
293
00:15:14,164 --> 00:15:16,497
and then went to prison,
294
00:15:16,541 --> 00:15:18,917
we found out, in texas.
295
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,421
I really do think this could be
dog the bounty hunter.
296
00:15:24,215 --> 00:15:25,256
Leslie: Well, I don't know.
297
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:27,091
I'm gonna toss out
something else.
298
00:15:27,093 --> 00:15:31,095
Tommy lee jones.
He was born in texas.
299
00:15:31,139 --> 00:15:33,932
He was the u.S. Marshall in
a movie called "the fugitive."
300
00:15:33,934 --> 00:15:36,225
I think we've got him.
301
00:15:36,227 --> 00:15:38,978
- Not bad.
- Leslie is brilliant.
302
00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:40,229
Ken, you claim to be an expert.
303
00:15:40,273 --> 00:15:43,066
- Yes, I am.
- And you're rubbing your chin
304
00:15:43,109 --> 00:15:44,317
as if there's a beard there.
305
00:15:44,361 --> 00:15:46,027
Yeah,
it's not gonna grow better.
306
00:15:46,071 --> 00:15:49,948
I'm disheartened by
the snickering, but...
307
00:15:49,991 --> 00:15:52,283
This is al pacino,
and I'll tell you why.
308
00:15:52,327 --> 00:15:56,871
- Oh, my god!
- Handcuffs, he was cop
in "serpico."
309
00:15:56,915 --> 00:15:58,623
it's so obvious.
310
00:15:58,658 --> 00:16:03,002
He was technically a fugitive
in "scarface."
311
00:16:03,046 --> 00:16:05,046
( as tony montana )
"man."
312
00:16:07,092 --> 00:16:08,967
- it's al pacino!
- Yeah!
313
00:16:08,969 --> 00:16:10,760
- Oh!
- Yeah!
314
00:16:10,762 --> 00:16:13,179
All right, well,
those are some really
good guesses, right?
315
00:16:13,223 --> 00:16:16,432
Except for ken's.
And we've gotta make some noise
316
00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:20,144
for that emotional and touching
performance from armadillo.
317
00:16:20,188 --> 00:16:21,896
Men in black, help him out.

00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:24,148

This is "the masked singer"

♪ who is that?
330
00:17:05,984 --> 00:17:08,359
Welcome back to

Now take notes, because
anything can be a clue.

Ringmaster:
Looking back at the canvas
in my life,
339
00:17:34,095 --> 00:17:37,055
I remember my first day
at a prestigious school
340
00:17:37,098 --> 00:17:38,556
when I was just a little goodie.
341
00:17:38,558 --> 00:17:39,432
Laughing emoji?
342
00:17:39,434 --> 00:17:41,142
Some type of comedic background?
343
00:17:41,186 --> 00:17:44,353
I was surrounded by some
of the best of the best,
344
00:17:44,355 --> 00:17:47,023
and I wondered if I would ever
be good enough.
345
00:17:47,108 --> 00:17:48,191
Oh, nasa.
346
00:17:48,234 --> 00:17:49,984
Could be somebody
with a space connection.
347
00:17:50,028 --> 00:17:53,988
And that only pushed me
to work even harder.
348
00:17:54,032 --> 00:17:55,907
I always did my own thing,
349
00:17:55,950 --> 00:17:59,285
but my mentors wanted me
to join the in crowd, so I did.
350
00:17:59,370 --> 00:18:01,954
- "welcome to nashville."
- could be a country singer.
351
00:18:01,998 --> 00:18:04,457
I'd never been part
of a group before,
352
00:18:04,501 --> 00:18:06,793
and we tried our best
to make it work,
353
00:18:06,836 --> 00:18:09,420
but I knew I wanted more.
354
00:18:11,216 --> 00:18:14,342
So I took a chance doing
something completely different,
355
00:18:14,344 --> 00:18:17,970
and it's been paying off
for the last ten years.
356
00:18:18,014 --> 00:18:21,224
Tonight there's
no clowning around.
357
00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:25,228
This ringmaster's gonna be
center stage in the finals.
358
00:18:28,108 --> 00:18:31,567
Hey, leslie,
her voice is insane,
359
00:18:31,611 --> 00:18:33,778

- That was the greatest
performance ever.
- Yeah! Outstanding.
393
00:20:59,467 --> 00:21:01,259
Wow.
394
00:21:04,430 --> 00:21:05,304
That was good.
395
00:21:06,349 --> 00:21:11,927
Oh, my--
you guys have to keep going
396
00:21:11,938 --> 00:21:16,357
and showing your love
for the ringmaster.
397
00:21:16,401 --> 00:21:21,445
That was truly
the most beautiful,
398
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:26,650
epic performance we have ever
had on "the masked singer."
399
00:21:26,661 --> 00:21:29,453
if you don't win,
I'm coming back with
a shaved head next season.
400
00:21:29,497 --> 00:21:31,872
That was unbelievable.
401
00:21:31,958 --> 00:21:35,126
We could hear your natural,
beautiful tone.
402
00:21:35,169 --> 00:21:39,964
I mean, I'm honestly--
I'm floored and I'm blown away
by you right now.
403
00:21:40,008 --> 00:21:43,884
I had to sing a song
first time I was on here
in an ice cream cone,
404
00:21:43,928 --> 00:21:45,886
and I know what it's like.
405
00:21:45,930 --> 00:21:48,306
To be able to give
that performance
406
00:21:48,349 --> 00:21:51,726
with all of that
just blew me away.
407
00:21:53,980 --> 00:21:56,147
So I have to ask you,
ringmaster,
408
00:21:56,190 --> 00:21:58,149
after that amazing performance,
409
00:21:58,192 --> 00:21:59,984
what would it mean to you
to make it to the finale?
410
00:22:00,028 --> 00:22:04,030
It would mean the world to me
to go to the finale.
411
00:22:04,115 --> 00:22:06,824
Music is my first love,
412
00:22:06,868 --> 00:22:09,368
and I would just be so honored
413
00:22:09,412 --> 00:22:13,039
to get to continue to perform
on this stage for you all.
414
00:22:14,292 --> 00:22:15,916
That might've been a clue
for y'all.
415
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,211
That's interesting
because we maybe
not know her for this.
416
00:22:19,255 --> 00:22:21,922
- Yeah.
- She said, "my first love."
417
00:22:21,966 --> 00:22:22,882
you know what I mean?
418
00:22:22,925 --> 00:22:24,800
And that's what's
making me think
419
00:22:24,802 --> 00:22:27,303
that she's an actress,
and that's why we don't know
420
00:22:27,347 --> 00:22:29,638
- she can sing this great,
you know?
- Right?
421
00:22:29,724 --> 00:22:32,058
So somebody who starred
in "modern family,"
422
00:22:32,101 --> 00:22:33,684
and we saw the laughing emoji.
423
00:22:33,728 --> 00:22:38,105
There was a nasa thing
and she was in "veronica mars."
424
00:22:38,149 --> 00:22:40,816
and we had the '90s clue.
She was born in the 1990s.
425
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:43,027
Could this possibly be
sarah hyland?
426
00:22:43,112 --> 00:22:46,447
She's got a great voice.
She's got a broadway background
and everything.
427
00:22:46,491 --> 00:22:48,908
- Could be.
- Leslie, you ready?
428
00:22:48,993 --> 00:22:53,996
No.
I'm just grasping at straws.
429
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,832
- Noah cyrus?
- We heard that one.
430
00:22:56,876 --> 00:22:58,084
Somebody else
guessed that last--
431
00:22:58,127 --> 00:23:00,211
I thought noah maybe,
but the '90s clue,
432
00:23:00,254 --> 00:23:03,214
I believe
she was born in 2000, 2001.
433
00:23:03,216 --> 00:23:08,177
How can anybody
have been born in 2001?
434
00:23:08,221 --> 00:23:11,430
There's a bunch
of 20-years-olds real mad
at you right now, leslie.
435
00:23:11,432 --> 00:23:13,099
I know, but still!
436
00:23:13,142 --> 00:23:18,562
Or could be kacey musgraves,
who's a great singer.
437
00:23:18,606 --> 00:23:21,107
She's nashville.
438
00:23:21,192 --> 00:23:23,984
Nasa, she's spacey kacey,
they call her.
439
00:23:24,028 --> 00:23:27,446
I'm gonna go
with kacey musgraves.
440
00:23:27,448 --> 00:23:30,074
All right, that's a good one.
Nicole?
441
00:23:30,118 --> 00:23:31,867
I've been a bit
all over the place.
442
00:23:31,911 --> 00:23:33,035
I thought in the first week
443
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:34,078
it could've been
carrie underwood.
444
00:23:34,122 --> 00:23:36,288
- Right?
- I thought last week,
445
00:23:36,332 --> 00:23:38,207
I was convinced
it's zara larsson.
446
00:23:38,251 --> 00:23:41,085
But she's swedish,
so that's a long way
from nashville.
447
00:23:41,129 --> 00:23:44,296
- Definitely.
- I think this could be
maren morris.
448
00:23:44,298 --> 00:23:45,256
I love her voice.
449
00:23:45,508 --> 00:23:48,551
She sings that song
"meet me in the middle."
450
00:23:48,553 --> 00:23:51,095
she also has another song
called "the bones."
451
00:23:51,139 --> 00:23:54,306
in her acoustic guitar clue
there was pic,
452
00:23:54,350 --> 00:23:55,933
- and they had
crossbones on it.
- That's right.
453
00:23:55,977 --> 00:23:59,520
"welcome to nashville."
she lives in nashville.
454
00:23:59,564 --> 00:24:02,273
Also we had the elf
in the clue package this week.
455
00:24:02,316 --> 00:24:04,900
She performed at the national
christmas tree lighting.
456
00:24:04,944 --> 00:24:06,986
I think this could be
maren morris.
457
00:24:08,322 --> 00:24:11,115
Jenny: We might not know
exactly who she is,
458

finale in a few weeks.

with the least amount of votes

Welcome back
to "the masked singer."
566
00:29:53,667 --> 00:29:57,294
three very talented singers
stand before us,
567
00:29:57,296 --> 00:29:59,129
but only one mystery singer
from this batch
568
00:29:59,215 --> 00:30:01,757
can advance
to the season finale
569
00:30:01,801 --> 00:30:04,426
to fight for
the golden mask trophy.
570
00:30:04,461 --> 00:30:06,094
Will it be another member
of team good
571
00:30:06,138 --> 00:30:10,224
or will team cuddly secure
the second spot in the finale?
572
00:30:10,267 --> 00:30:13,393
The first singer
getting unmasked...
573

- Oh, gosh.
- And sent home tonight is...
574
00:30:22,112 --> 00:30:25,989
They all gave their
best performances tonight.
575
00:30:29,411 --> 00:30:31,245
Nick: Armadillo.

00:30:40,965 --> 00:30:43,799
Head back to your homebase.
580
00:30:43,843 --> 00:30:46,301
We gonna keep it going
for armadillo.
581
00:30:46,303 --> 00:30:50,848
We're so sad to see you go,
but we cannot wait to see
582
00:30:50,891 --> 00:30:54,059
- who you really are
up under that mask, right?
- Yes!
583
00:30:54,103 --> 00:30:56,353
Now, panel,
it's your final guess moment.
584
00:30:56,397 --> 00:30:58,897
I did "celebrity big brother"
in london,
585
00:30:58,941 --> 00:31:02,860
and gary busey and I were the
only americans locked up there.
586
00:31:02,862 --> 00:31:05,654
There's lots of clues though
with the texas today.
587
00:31:05,698 --> 00:31:08,824
- He's from texas.
- Texas, yes, motorcycle.
588
00:31:08,868 --> 00:31:13,912
And the cadence and the voice,
I'm gonna say gary busey.
589
00:31:13,956 --> 00:31:16,081
Leslie is going with gary busey.
590
00:31:16,083 --> 00:31:18,041
- Nicole?
- It could be gary busey.
591
00:31:18,127 --> 00:31:21,253
He chased down fugitives
in "point break."
592
00:31:21,297 --> 00:31:23,380
he was a private investigator
in "the firm."
593
00:31:23,424 --> 00:31:24,590
yeah.
594
00:31:24,633 --> 00:31:27,968
But especially after
that performance today
595
00:31:28,053 --> 00:31:29,761
and following this man's story,
596
00:31:29,805 --> 00:31:33,098
I do truly believe that
this is dog the bounty hunter.
597
00:31:33,142 --> 00:31:37,936
All right,
well, the first person
to say that tonight
598
00:31:37,980 --> 00:31:40,814
was our clue expert
jenny mccarthy wahlberg.
599
00:31:40,858 --> 00:31:43,317
Are you still riding that guess?
600
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,361
I'm riding it
like he rides his harley.
601
00:31:46,363 --> 00:31:48,822
- All right.
- If we look at the clues,
602
00:31:48,866 --> 00:31:50,365
bow and arrow, hunter.
603
00:31:50,409 --> 00:31:53,911
- Hot dog, motorcycle.
- And the dog leash.
604
00:31:53,954 --> 00:31:56,121
- The handcuffs.
- The beef cake.
605
00:31:56,165 --> 00:31:58,290
It doesn't end.
He's like a gift of clues
606
00:31:58,334 --> 00:32:00,959
that took us too long
to figure out.
607
00:32:01,003 --> 00:32:02,669
Robin, are you riding that
as well?
608
00:32:02,713 --> 00:32:05,839
Um, I'm gonna take a different
form of transportation.
609
00:32:05,883 --> 00:32:08,300
This guy was born in texas.
610
00:32:08,302 --> 00:32:11,845
The handcuffs are because
he was an inmate
611
00:32:11,889 --> 00:32:14,556
in the movie "the longest yard."
612
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,225
we've seen rocks.
Stone cold steve austin!
613
00:32:17,227 --> 00:32:18,352
Nicole: Come on, robin!
614
00:32:18,354 --> 00:32:21,021
Awesome.
Ken, can you top that?
615
00:32:21,065 --> 00:32:23,023
When it comes to the motorcycle,
616
00:32:23,067 --> 00:32:26,318
the handcuffs, the dog leash,
617
00:32:26,362 --> 00:32:30,948
to me tonight, this is
the great al pacino.
618
00:32:30,950 --> 00:32:35,369

- Nick: But you know what?
620
00:32:37,623 --> 00:32:39,748
Other than that one,
all the other guesses
were pretty good, right?
621
00:32:39,792 --> 00:32:44,920
Well, all right, panel,
you've made your final guesses.

00:35:42,975 --> 00:35:46,184
and be named
the round two winner.
685
00:35:46,228 --> 00:35:49,896
Will team cuddly steal
the second spot in the finale,
686
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:52,774
or will team good double
their chances with two singers
687
00:35:52,818 --> 00:35:54,192
fighting for
the golden mask trophy?
688
00:35:54,236 --> 00:35:55,944
We need a cuddly in there, ken.
689
00:35:55,946 --> 00:35:58,071
We need a cuddly in there, guys.
690
00:35:58,115 --> 00:36:05,495
The second singer getting
unmasked tonight is...
691
00:36:07,124 --> 00:36:12,127
- Oh, no.
- This is crazy.
692
00:36:12,129 --> 00:36:15,088
Jenny:
They're both equally amazing.
693
00:36:15,132 --> 00:36:17,465
Oh, my god. My heart.
My heart is breaking right now.
694
00:36:20,804 --> 00:36:21,970
Miss teddy.
695
00:36:21,972 --> 00:36:24,055
Robin: Aw. Come on!
696
00:36:24,099 --> 00:36:27,058
- Aw!
- Nicole: Look at teddy.
697
00:36:27,060 --> 00:36:30,270
Show some love for miss teddy!
Keep it going.
698
00:36:31,982 --> 00:36:36,818
Congratulations to ringmaster.
699
00:36:36,862 --> 00:36:39,821
How are you feeling
knowing that you're going
to the season finale?
700
00:36:39,865 --> 00:36:44,743
So excited
and incredibly honored.
Thank you all so much.
701
00:36:45,537 --> 00:36:46,620
Whoo!
702
00:36:46,955 --> 00:36:49,623
Nick: Well, give your love
and respect to miss teddy.
703
00:36:49,666 --> 00:36:52,125
Ringmaster: Oh, my gosh,
you were so amazing.
704
00:36:52,169 --> 00:36:54,920
And then head on back
to homebase.
705
00:36:54,963 --> 00:36:58,089
I can't believe that ringmaster
is going to the final.
706
00:36:58,133 --> 00:37:01,092
That means that's two
out of three for team good.
707
00:37:01,094 --> 00:37:03,011
I'm sad to see teddy go though.
708
00:37:03,055 --> 00:37:06,765
Then we only have
one more chance to get a cuddly
in the finals, man.
709
00:37:06,808 --> 00:37:11,186
The most loveable character
we've had, miss teddy,
y'all keep it going for her.
710
00:37:11,230 --> 00:37:14,147
We're so sorry
that you are leaving us,
711
00:37:14,191 --> 00:37:17,984
but we are so excited
to see your famous face.
712
00:37:18,028 --> 00:37:20,320
Who wants to start first
with the final guesses?
713
00:37:20,364 --> 00:37:22,822
Miss teddy, I'm just in shock.
714
00:37:22,857 --> 00:37:26,534
This might be
the biggest upset right now
in masked singer history
715
00:37:26,578 --> 00:37:29,120
because I just want you to know
you are outstanding.
716
00:37:29,122 --> 00:37:32,082
- Absolutely.
- Indeed.
717
00:37:32,167 --> 00:37:34,000
But based on the clues,
it's a gospel singer,
718
00:37:34,044 --> 00:37:36,836
someone who was a grammy winner.
719
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,589
I think this could
be yolanda adams.
720
00:37:39,633 --> 00:37:40,465
Nicole: Wow.
721
00:37:40,509 --> 00:37:42,050
- Yeah.
- She's a legend.
722
00:37:42,094 --> 00:37:43,334
Great guess.
723
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:47,264
This amazing diva
has won two grammys.
724
00:37:47,307 --> 00:37:50,058
Then we saw a butterfly clue,
725
00:37:50,102 --> 00:37:52,435
and, I mean, I can't think
of a better song
726
00:37:52,479 --> 00:37:54,980
that a caterpillar turning
into a butterfly would sing
727
00:37:55,023 --> 00:37:57,983
than "I will survive."
728
00:37:58,026 --> 00:37:59,359
I think this is gloria gaynor.
729
00:37:59,403 --> 00:38:02,570
- Nick: All right.
- Robin: Yeah!
You go, jenny.
730
00:38:02,572 --> 00:38:04,447
- Thank you.
- You go, jenny.
731
00:38:04,491 --> 00:38:05,740
Robin?
732
00:38:05,784 --> 00:38:06,950
I've been through a few names.
733
00:38:06,952 --> 00:38:08,785
I started with cece peniston,
734
00:38:08,829 --> 00:38:11,079
and then I started thinking
maybe jill scott.
735
00:38:11,123 --> 00:38:16,376
But one of the greatest
gospel singers in the world
is karen clark.
736
00:38:16,378 --> 00:38:18,837
She has been number one
multiple times on
the gospel charts.
737
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,171
That could be the ribbon.
738
00:38:20,206 --> 00:38:22,882
And she also has won
many grammys.
739
00:38:22,884 --> 00:38:26,970
So I think
this might be karen clark
of the clark sisters.
740
00:38:28,265 --> 00:38:31,891
First lady karen clark sheard,
that's a good one.
741
00:38:31,893 --> 00:38:33,601
Go for it, nicole.
742
00:38:33,645 --> 00:38:37,188
We saw the supreme court,
as in "the supremes,"
743
00:38:37,190 --> 00:38:39,858
and that makes me think
of "dreamgirls."
744
00:38:39,901 --> 00:38:43,028
- oh, yeah.
- And last week, we had
the clue of the grammys,
745
00:38:43,113 --> 00:38:46,072
- and she has two grammys.
- Okay.
746
00:38:46,116 --> 00:38:47,365
Today with those signature runs,
747
00:38:47,409 --> 00:38:50,201
there's only person I know
that can do that,
748
00:38:50,245 --> 00:38:54,372
and that's the legendary,
the iconic jennifer holliday.
749
00:38:56,001 --> 00:38:59,711
- Also think
it's jennifer holliday.
- Okay, well, tell me why.
750
00:38:59,755 --> 00:39:02,130
There was the eddie murphy
thing. "dreamgirls."
751
00:39:02,132 --> 00:39:03,798
- yep.
- Robin: Yes.
752
00:39:03,842 --> 00:39:06,426
Leslie: She's won grammys.
She's won all kinds of stuff.
753
00:39:06,470 --> 00:39:10,305
And the voice, I mean, how many
people can sing like that?
754
00:39:10,349 --> 00:39:13,850
- Not many.
- So I think it's
jennifer holliday.
755
00:39:13,894 --> 00:39:15,977
All right.
756
00:39:16,021 --> 00:39:19,230
All right, guys, you made
some great guesses.
757
00:39:20,734 --> 00:39:24,778
And now it's time to see
if any of you are correct.
758
00:39:24,821 --> 00:39:26,321
Audience, you guys ready?
759
00:39:26,365 --> 00:39:28,448
( cheering )
760
00:39:28,492 --> 00:39:30,450
say it with me.
761
00:39:30,452 --> 00:39:34,079
All: Take it off!
Take it off!
762
00:39:34,122 --> 00:39:36,831
Take it off! Take it off!
763
00:39:36,875 --> 00:39:40,543
- Take it off!
- Oh, who is this?
764
00:39:40,545 --> 00:39:42,462
Take it off! Take it off!
765
00:39:42,506 --> 00:39:44,964
Take it off!
766
00:39:45,008 --> 00:39:48,051
Who is it?
767
00:39:48,929 --> 00:39:51,930
- Who is it?
- Oh, my gosh!
768
00:39:51,973 --> 00:39:54,015
- Who is this?
- Oh, my god!
769
00:39:54,059 --> 00:39:57,227
Nick:
Legendary grammy award winning
770
00:39:57,270 --> 00:40:00,897
and tony award winning
iconic superstar,
771
00:40:00,941 --> 00:40:04,317
jennifer holliday!
772
00:40:04,361 --> 00:40:06,528
- We are not worthy!
- Oh, my god!
773
00:40:06,571 --> 00:40:09,989
- Jennifer: Thank you.
- Jenny: Yes!
774
00:40:09,991 --> 00:40:12,075
Robin: Whoo!
775
00:40:13,161 --> 00:40:14,994
- Thank you.
- Nick: You look amazing.
776
00:40:14,996 --> 00:40:18,790
- Thank you. Thank you.
- So amazing.
777
00:40:18,792 --> 00:40:22,794
Now we have to ask you,
you've graced so many stages
around the world,
778
00:40:22,796 --> 00:40:24,129
why "the masked singer?"
779
00:40:24,172 --> 00:40:28,341
well, nick, I believe
that it was destined to be.
780
00:40:28,343 --> 00:40:30,718
From you all's
very first season,
781
00:40:30,762 --> 00:40:34,639
my fans have been trying
to guess as if it were me,
782
00:40:34,641 --> 00:40:38,226
and so I think they have kind of
brought me here for this.
783
00:40:38,228 --> 00:40:40,603
So I was thinking about my fans,
784
00:40:40,605 --> 00:40:42,772
who have given me
so much love and support.
785
00:40:42,816 --> 00:40:45,775
- Oh!
- Including nicole.
786
00:40:45,819 --> 00:40:48,403
- Nick:
Nicole is one of the biggest.
- Thank you.
787
00:40:48,447 --> 00:40:50,655
Nicole, would you like
to talk to miss holliday?
788
00:40:50,699 --> 00:40:53,992
I used to pretend I was you
in my room growing up.
789
00:40:53,994 --> 00:40:56,411
I'd be like, "hey!"
you're a living legend.
790
00:40:56,455 --> 00:40:59,664
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
791
00:40:59,708 --> 00:41:01,875
Mr. Leslie jordan,
you guessed it right as well.
792
00:41:01,918 --> 00:41:03,084
- Congratulations.
- Yes, you did.
793
00:41:03,086 --> 00:41:05,336
Well, and I forgot to say
how I knew.
794
00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:09,090
Santa and jack-o-lantern.
Holidays.
795
00:41:09,134 --> 00:41:12,051
- Very good. That's it.
- Oh, my god!
796
00:41:12,095 --> 00:41:14,220
- Leslie!
- Jennifer: That was the clue.
797
00:41:14,222 --> 00:41:15,722
And you guys keep it going
one more time
798
00:41:15,765 --> 00:41:18,600
for the one and only,
iconic jennifer holliday.
799
00:41:18,602 --> 00:41:21,728
I can't believe
we're gonna watch her sing,
800
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,146
now finally without the mask!
801
00:41:23,190 --> 00:41:25,273
- Amazing.
- I just wanna watch her sing.
802
00:41:25,275 --> 00:41:28,109
Look how excited nicole is
to get to see you sing.
803
00:41:28,111 --> 00:41:29,986
That's a wrap on round two.
804
00:41:29,988 --> 00:41:35,742
Ringmaster and firefly securing
spots in the season finale.
805
00:41:35,785 --> 00:41:38,036
There's one spot left.
806
00:41:38,079 --> 00:41:41,456
The race to
the golden mask trophy
continues next week
807
00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:45,126
with five brand new
celebrity mystery singers.
808
00:41:45,170 --> 00:41:48,087
Thank you to leslie jordan
for joining us.
809
00:41:48,089 --> 00:41:50,965
As always,
you are such a delight
810
00:41:50,967 --> 00:41:52,967
- and a national treasure.
- We love you, les.
811
00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:55,970
But before we go,
here to perform unmasked,
812
00:41:56,014 --> 00:41:58,765
the artist formerly known
as miss teddy,
813
