Nick: After 12 star-studded unmaskings,
team good is ready to take over the season seven finale.
Our final three mega celebs

firefly, and the prince.
They're all racing towards the golden mask trophy.
Who will become the season seven champion?

This season has been about three worlds colliding...

But it's team good who has triumphed in each round.
Tonight, only one of them can be crowned the winner, y'all.
Y'all, this is a big night. It's the finale.

To win on "the masked singer," you need the votes,
and that's why our three finalists are running a clue campaign for your support.
Take a look.
My loyal fans...
Huh, someone from "glee."
...A vote for me is a vote for love.
Finding the love of my life
taught me to leave the hard times in the past
and pour my heart and soul into everything I do,
a trait I hope to pass on to our children.
Oh, that's ryan murphy who created "glee."
I wanna win this for my family.
And trust me when I say
this golden crown means nothing
without that golden mask.
- Broadway, I knew it. - Broadway star.
So vote for me, the prince, and I'll lead you to love.
Oh, my god, you guys! The finale!

whoo!
That was so great!
- So much fun. - Wow.
- The prince. Jenny, talk to the prince. - Oh, my gosh.
Mr. Prince, I bow to you. That was unbelievable!
We got to hear you belt it out like you want to win this thing.
- Robin: Yeah! - Ken: Yeah!
Nick: Jenny, you seem really excited over there.
Are you picking up on anything?
Well, when I saw the clue package tonight,
he is part of the "glee" club alumni.
Also ryan murphy said he wrote "the politician" for my guy.
And then we saw a broadway street.
He won a tony for his broadway performance
- in "dear evan hansen." - oh.
- You know where I'm going with this. - Yeah, ben platt.
That's right! I think this is ben platt.
- Nicole: Wow. - Oh, that's a good one.
Ken: Good guess. Good guess.
Nicole: Ben platt's a heavy hitter.
I guessed him too, but now I'm changing my mind.
The "glee" connection, he appeared on "glee" as a spanish teacher.
Mm.
He also starred in the "american crime story: Versace,"
which is the american flag. Follow me.
Broadway, he made his broadway debut in "les mis"
and he starred as che in "evita."
I think that this is the great ricky martin!
- Come on! - Jenny: Muy bien! Oh, I like that guess.
- Shake the bon-bon! - Nicole: I love you, ricky!
- That's a good guess. - Living la vida loca?
- Dr. Ken. - Ken: So the very first round
I thought this could be enrique iglesias.
But now when I was watching the clue package,
I was actually thinking of matt bomer.
Nicole: Okay.
He worked with ryan murphy on "normal heart"
and "american horror story,"
and he's been on broadway.
- Mm. - And he has three kids.
- Nick: Right? - Yeah.
- Jenny: Wow. - A very serious and sincere guess...
- Right? - I'm trying.
- ...From ken jeong. - I'm trying.
Nick: All right, some great guesses.
The prince! Another incredible performance.
What a way to set off the season finale.
- Now head on back. - Yeah!
There's still two more performances before we find out
who will be the first to unmask.
- Up next is our round one champ... - Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop!
...Make it loud for firefly.
- ( music playing ) - wow!
Oh!
♪ she's a super freak, super freak ♪
♪ she's super freaky
♪ everybody sing
♪ super freak, super freak
♪ that girl's all right with me ♪
- ken: Yeah! - What an entrance.
It's getting hot in here.
All right, firefly.
This mystery singer has stopped the show with her effortless voice,
but we still don't know who she is.
Perhaps her clue campaign will be enough to give us
the final clues we need.
Now comes the most difficult decision of your voting lives.
Team firefly or team firefly? It's that simple.
Oh, there's a basketball net.
Hmm, did she date an nba player?
Joining this competition meant I had to face my fears
and come out of retirement.
- Piano, keyboard. - Robin and nicole: Alicia keys.
- Yes! - I refused to fade away,
and being on the stage has let me shine bright again.
- Five, six, seven, eight. - Seven's bolded.
- She's a dancer. - Never give up on firefly,
and I'll never give up on you.
Sho' nuff. But, oh, boy.

Jenny: That was so awesome.
Y'all keep it going for firefly!
- Wow. - For me, tonight, the finale?
You are the one to beat.
So who wants to start? Robin thicke.
Okay, so I've been thinking keyshia cole
from some of your vocal performances,
but now I see the new clues.
So tonight we have basketball net,
we have the word "fade."
she very famously starred
in the kanye west video "faded," right?
- Yes. - And also, in earlier packages
we saw a picture of pharrell williams,
who signed her to a record deal and produced records for her.
This might be teyana taylor.
- Wow. - Nick: Nicole.
The clues cemented it for me this week, all right?
We saw the faded m.
In the past we saw tyler perry.
He's from georgia. She's from georgia.
We've seen kanye, we've seen pharrell.
- Yeah, pharrell. - She's worked with both of them.
She's performed at the apollo theater.
I think it could be monica.
Ken, are you feeling the same way?
Oh! Oh, my god. These are great uninformed guesses.
What I'm thinking is I feel I've been on
the alicia keys tip, real talk.
But now I actually think firefly is brandy,
and I'll tell you why.
"m" on the tv? "moesha."
that was a tv show that brandy was on.
Also basketball net,
she went to the prom with kobe bryant.
- Oh, that's right. - Yes, and then you have
five, six, seven, eight, and seven is bolded.
Brandy had an album called "b7." I think it's brandy!
Wow, that's a great guess.
- Thank you. - Come on, ken.
It's all right, ken.
Nick: All right, some great guesses.

Wow.
Nick: All right, here is a cat-paign
filled with clues that should give you the answers.
Check it out.
Ladies and gentlemen,
step right up to vote for the one and only ringmaster.
Okay, the horse has me thinking a country star.
As a young ringmaster,
my only passion in life was music.
But over the years the music has been silenced,
and my life took a different path.
Is this someone from disney?
But "the masked singer" stage has given me my voice back.
Simon cowell. Was she on "idol?"

( vocalizing )
- that voice! - Beautiful.
- Wow. Ringmaster. - Oh, she is good!
Awesome. Amazing.
What's so wonderful about this show
is sometimes we hear a voice,
and we're like, "I know that voice."
but you are a revelation.
- It's really awesome to watch. - Thank you!
Ken, the guessing game has to begin. Who is this?
Well, I gotta go back to the clues.
You know, there was not snow but hail,
- as in hailee steinfeld. - Robin: Okay.
Think about this. Mouse dressed as a princess.
- Disney. Okay? - Yes.
She's a star of "hawkeye."
horse? She was oscar-nominated for "true grit."
she did, nick.
I'm actually rolling with you this time.
Oh, thank you. I'm sorry!
This is like, whoa, ken might actually have a good guess.
All the bling was blinding me.
Yeah, you know, ken, I'm picking up on the clues that you're dropping.
- Thank you. - You know, we saw the mouse with the princess.
- That's giving me disney vibes. - Mm.
She was on "wizards of waverly place."
we saw the horse with the broken heart.
She does country music. And we saw hail.
I think this could be lucy hale.
- Jenny: Ooh! - Robin: Yeah!
- That's a great guess. - Nicole: Thank you.
Nick: Jenny, what do you think?
- I was also picking up on that mouse. - Yeah.
My girl was in plenty of disney movies,
and she so happened to be in one called "ice princess,"
- and there was hail. - Ken: Yeah.
Also the horse, she was in the show "nashville."
- oh! - Hayden panettiere?
- Nicole: It could be. - Ken: Yeah.
- Nicole: Jenny, you know what... - Ken: It could be.
One of the clues was she said,
"nicole, it's good to see you,"
and I saw hayden at a pool once.
- Jenny: That's it. - So there it is.
There are some good guesses up there.
Y'all give it up for that outstanding performance from ringmaster, everybody.
- Whoo! - Stay right here.
Prince and firefly, please join me on the stage.
It's time for our first vote of the night.
All right, three singers stand before you.
Panel and audience,
it's time to vote for your favorite.
Oh, it's gonna be so hard to vote for just one of them.
The singer with the least amount of votes will unmask,
and the remaining two will perform again
for the chance to take it all home tonight.
The votes are in.
- Oh, my god. - Here we go.
Nick: Coming in third place is...
This is it.
Welcome back to the finale of "the masked singer."
yeah!
Coming in third place is...
Oh, my god. Who's it gonna be? Who's it gonna be?
Oh, my gosh.
- The prince. - All: Oh!
Nick: Ringmaster and firefly,
go ahead and get ready for your second performances.
It's the battle of the babes now.
Ooh, it's the battle of the babes!
Nick: Keep it going for the prince, y'all. Show the prince some love.
All: Prince, prince, prince, prince!
Prince, prince, prince!
We hate to see you go, but we are so happy to see
who's up under this mask finally.
- Right? - But first, panel,
now it's time for your final guesses. Who wants to go first?
I just wanna say, prince, just you are one of the best
all around performers in the history of "the masked singer."
- just great job. - Aw, ken.
Thank you for blessing our stage.
I do think though tonight, it's gotten a lot clearer with all the great clues,
- glee club and broadway. - Robin: Yep.
So I think this is matt bomer.
Okay, great guess.
It all came around.
All right, so we heard the prince sing en español
- in first performance, right? - We did.
- Muy bien. - I think this is the great ricky martin!
Let's go, ricky! Come on, ricky!
All right, that's a fun one right there. Jenny, what you got?
Based off of the clues today, could this be ben platt? Yes!
- I think it's ben platt. - Robin: Good guess. Good guess.
It's a good guess.
Nicole, who you got?
Whoo, sherlock scherzi has been doing her homework.
That's what I'm talking about. We love it.
We saw ryan murphy on the book with the american flag.
He was in "american horror story: Hotel."
you saw a broadway street sign.
I believe they got their start on broadway.
And then we saw cat.
He was on a show called "call me kat."
- wow. - This is cheyenne jackson, y'all. Come on!
- Okay, sherlock scherzi. - Ken: Good guess.
- That's a great guess. - Yeah, I'm proud of myself.
- You should be. - I be-weave it, nick! I be-weave it!
Our panel made their final guesses.
Let's see if any of them are even close.
Who's behind the mask?
Audience, you know how to do it.
You know what to say. Say it with me.
- All: Take it off! - Come on!
- Take it off! - Come on!
- Take it off! - Oh, who is this?
- Take it off! - Nicole: Come on!
- Take it off! - Come on, cheyenne.
All: Take it off! Take it off!
- ♪ I really wanna know ♪ - who are you?
♪ come on, tell me, who are you, you, you ♪
♪ are you?
Emmy and grammy nominated actor and singer...
- Yeah! - Oh, wow!
- That's my man! - Cheyenne jackson!
- Whoo! - Great to finally see you.
Come on! Come on!
- Nicole! - Yes!
- Sherlock scherzinger. - Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew!
Sherlock scherzi got it right.
Now that voice, we had no idea.
- Right? - Well, that's really kind of
why I wanted to do this.
I started out in music.
I started out-- I've done nine broadway shows.
- Wow. - And then once you start getting into television,
people start to only know you for one thing.
- Yeah. - It bugs my mom the most.
She's like, "singing's your main thing."
nick: Your mom's right!
You made it all the way to the finale.
- Yeah! - What was it like, this entire experience?
I have five-year-old twins, willow and ethan,
and the first day we started doing this,
I was getting ready to leave, and I said,
"willow, I'm really scared." and she said, "hang on."
she ran inside and she came back,
and she brought this little rock that says "courage" on it.
- Aw. - And the beautiful wardrobe ladies
sewed it inside my costume,
so I've had it with me the whole time.
- Nick: That's awesome. - So what I would say is
if something scares you, do it.
Because this was scary,
and I did it, and I made it to the finale.
- And I'm so proud of myself. - Jenny: Awesome.
Let's hear it for cheyenne jackson one more time, y'all.
Yes!
To sing one last time, unmasked once and for all,
the artist formerly known as the prince...
Yeah!
Y'all give it up for cheyenne jackson!
- ♪ push it along, gotta be strong ♪ - yes!
♪ push it along, right to the top ♪
( singing in spanish )
( continues in spanish )
and then there were two!
Who's taking home the golden mask trophy?
Two finalists left. Two more performances.
This is season finale of "the masked singer."
♪ here we go
♪ alé, alé, alé
- next, firefly and ringmaster... - Whoa.
...Go head to head in their final performance.
- Yeah! - Wow.
And the season seven winner is crowned.
Who's the new champ?
Welcome back to the most epic and jaw-dropping season finale
of "the masked singer" ever.
Whoo!
Before the break, we said goodbye to the prince,
who was revealed to be cheyenne jackson.
Next our two remaining singers will perform a second time
in a final battle to determine who will win the golden mask trophy.
Yeah!
First up, it's firefly.

Well, I'm all flattered and choked up.
You know, that song was supposed to feel
exactly the way you made it feel.
Ooh, she made it sound good, too!
You saved the best for last. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And I have to say this
because you guys can't really tell,
but I'm standing so close to firefly,
and she's quite emotional right now.
- Oh. - That's a lot.
She's so courageous to open up to be so vulnerable.
I feel like you really revealed yourself.
Nick: Indeed, indeed.
Another amazing performance from firefly.
Congrats to you. We will see you in a bit for the vote.
Y'all keep it going for firefly.
That song is not supposed to be glamorized.
It's supposed to be sung from the inside out,
and, you know, she really got that, you know?
Totally. Ringmaster has a very hard act to follow.
- Yeah. - Nick: And now,
back for her final performance
and her last chance to take on firefly to win it all,
it's ringmaster.

Ringmaster, ringmaster, ringmaster!
- Ringmaster, ringmaster! - That's what I'm talking about.
Nicole, talk to ringmaster.
We have ourselves a little pop star, now don't we?
- Ow! - Usually "the masked singer" is about celebrating stars,
but tonight, ringmaster, this is a star-making performance.
You've just been on a trajectory...
And growth. Continual growth.
- Everything. - Incredible.
The "purr-fect" end to a perfect season.
Congratulations. Stay right here.
- Firefly, please join me on the stage. - Yeah!
Nick: It's time for the most important vote of the season.
Now it's time to deliver some bad news.
- Oh. - This is terrible.
Are you team firefly or team ringmaster?
Panel, studio audience,
vote now for your favorite.
The performer with the most votes
will win the golden mask trophy.
The final votes are in.
- Oh. - No!
The winner of this season's golden mask trophy is...
Eee!
Welcome back to the moment you've all been watching for.
- This is the moment of truth. - Oh, my gosh!
The winner of this season's golden mask trophy is...
Eee!
Oh, my god.
Firefly!
Nicole: Oh, my god! Come on!
Congratulations, firefly!
( cheering )
yes!
Nick: The golden mask trophy is yours. How does it feel?
It feels so good. I'm still crying.
- She's so emotional, y'all. - Aww.
Congratulations. Please make your way to your throne!
- They're gonna take her over there. - Yeah!
- All: Firefly, firefly! - And right now,
let's give it up for the one and only ringmaster.
- Ringmaster! - Our second place champion.
- Whoo! - You did amazing.
We love you. And you know what?
We finally get to see who's up under that mask.
- Thank god! Thank god! - Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
But before we get to that,
panel, please tell us what you're thinking.
Oh, man, I wanna say how impressed we are, you know,
with every single one of your vocal performances.
- Thank you. - And I think we all agree
that you have something magical
- and very special. - Thank you!
Jenny: Seriously.
Today we saw the mouse and the princess.
I'm thinking disney princess.
And that's why I think this is maren morris.
Nicole: That's a good guess, robin.
- I thought it was maren morris for a while now. - Jenny: You did.
Some of the vocal quality, that's very close.
This week in the clue package we saw frozen rain.
- What is that? Hail. - Jenny: Yep.
You guys, I think this is lucy hale
from "pretty little liars."
- robin: All right. - Okay.
- Ken: Yep. - Jenny: That's a great guess.
Nick: Great guess. Ken?
So I'm looking at hail, hailee.
Mouse dressed as a princess. Disney plus, "hawkeye."
I think that the ringmaster is hailee steinfeld.
- Good guess, - nicole: That's a great guess.
Thank you.
So I was thinking we all are talking about this disney princess thing.
She was in multiple disney films.
And the gold necklace with the '80s?
She was born in 1989.
I think this is hayden panettiere.
Nicole: Wow.
- All right. - Nicole: Love, jenny.
Pretty good guesses. What do you guys think?
We tried! We tried really hard!
We tried our best, guys.
You've made your final guesses.
Let's see if any of you are even close.
Ringmaster, we need to know who you are.
Audience, say it with me.
All: Take it off! Take it off!
Take it off! Take it off!
- Who is it? - ♪ who are you?
Who is this incredible voice?
All: Take it off! Take it off!
- Oh, who is this? - Take it off! Take it off!

From "the goldbergs,"
actress and singer hayley orrantia!
Oh, my god!
- Oh, my god! - Ken: Yeah!
Wow! Nice to finally meet you...
- Robin: Wow! - Jenny: No way!
...And the face behind that amazing voice.
- Wow! - Hayley?
Wow.
Wow, we didn't know. Why "the masked singer"?
Honestly, I have loved music my entire life,
and I ended up becoming more known
through working on "the goldbergs" as an actress.
- Erica! - Erica goldberg!
- Jtps! - Erica!
But you have no idea how much it means to me
to be able to do what I love in front of you all.
And again, thank you for your compliments.
- You need to album. - Wow.
- Yes. - Yes, you do!
- I'm working on it, baby. - And you know what?
This isn't your first time meeting nicole, right?
Hayley: So I don't know if you remember, nicole,
but I auditioned as a solo artist.
Season one, back in 2011 of "the x factor"
when you were a judge.
And I was put into a country-pop girl group
- on the show called lakoda rayne. - I remember that name.
Paula was my judge, so I didn't get to interact with you a ton,
but I did a little bit.
Let's just say I was lovely to you.
You were, of course!
But seriously, you are your own powerhouse.
- Yes. - Hayley: Thank you.
Ma'am. Okay?
Whoo! Thank you!
To sing one last time, unmasked...
- She's so good! - ...Formerly known as the ringmaster,
give it up for hayley orrantia!
- Yes! - Ken: Hayley!
♪ you got me into this
♪ information overload, situation lost control ♪
♪ send out an s.O.S.
♪ ha! We're gonna tear up the town ♪
♪ oh, don't be a baby
♪ remember what you told me
after the break, the time has come
to unmask our golden mask trophy winner.
- Don't you move. - Yes!
- ♪ oh, yeah! - Yeah!
♪ that's what you get
welcome back to "the masked singer."
the finale!
Just moments ago,
we found out that firefly
has joined past golden mask winners
t-pain, wayne brady, kandi burruss,
leann rimes, nick lachey, and jewel.
But whose famous face is behind the mask of our champion?
Before we find out, panel,
I'm gonna need your final guesses.
Robin: Tonight these new clues,
there was the basketball net.
She's married to a basketball player.
And the word "fade" goes with the photo of kanye west.
- Yes. - His song, "fade,"
- she starred in the video. - Unbelievable.
I still think that this is the multi-talented teyana taylor.
- Wow. - Jenny, what about you?
We saw the statue of liberty in previous guesses.
She's from new york. Tyler perry photo.
She was in tyler perry's "big happy family."
I agree with robin. Teyana taylor!
- Robin: Yeah. - Ken: Great guess. Great guess.
Nick: All right, who wants to go next?
I'm still stuck on monica. We saw the basketball net.
Monica was married to nba player shannon brown,
and we saw the "m" on the tv for monica!
- All right. - Ken: Good guess.
- Ken, what you got, man? - Now that all the dust is settled,
I'm thinking clearly.
The five, six, seven, eight is "me x 7,"
which is an alicia keys song.
There are obviously piano keys
all embedded throughout the clues.
And also the statue of liberty,
all the new york city clues--
"empire state of mind."
firefly is alicia keys.
Jenny: Wow. That was actually coherent.
- Okay, panel, you have made your final guesses. - Wow.
Let's see if any of you are correct.
Who is behind the mask of our champion?
Firefly, we need to know.
- No way! - Come on now!
- Audience, say it with me! - All: Take it off! Take it off!
- Take it off! - Take it off! Take it off!
- Who is it? - ♪ I really wanna know
who's the new champ?
- ♪ tell me, who are you? - Oh, my god.
♪ are you?
Nick: Superstar actress, r&b artist,
- teyana taylor! - Wow.
( cheering )
- yeah! - Nick: Wow.
Nicole: Wow.
- Nick: What a journey. - Come on, robin.
Tell me why you chose "the masked singer."
aw, man, I was like, this would be something really nice to do,
and just be able to just sing, and it'd be fun again,
and there's just no judgment, you know?
Nobody knows who's behind the mask.
You just get to sing your heart out.
That's what you did. You sang your heart out,
- and you won "the masked singer." - thank you.
And we gotta talk for a second
because your husband just won "dancing with the stars."
- yeah! - And now you won "the masked singer."
y'all got all types of trophies at the crib.
Yeah, I got put this next to the mirror ball.
- There it is indeed. - That's right. That's right.
And, robin, she sang your song tonight.
- Yes, she did. Yes, she did. - For the w!
Robin: That was amazing. Great job.
Teyana: Thank you.
"lost without you" is a very, very dear song to me.
And I cried the whole time I sung it,
so this means a lot to me, and thank you so much.
I'm so humbled and so grateful. Thank you.
- Congratulations again. - Thank you.
What a night! What a season! Right, y'all?
- What a season! - Thank you all for watching.
But right now, here to sing for us
one last time, give it up
for our season seven champion teyana taylor!
Grab your loved ones. Grab your loved ones.
