( cheering )
Hello and welcome to "The Masked Singer" finale.
We've crowned some iconic champions on this show,
and tonight we're adding to the list.
It's been our most dramatic, spectacular,
and competitive season yet,
and there's no sign of anyone letting up.
This season, we set out
looking for our kings and our queens.
And after all the votes,
the eliminations, the Battle Royales,
not a single king survived.
Which means for the first time,
we have an all-female finale--
the Harp and the Lambs.
Finalists, are you guys ready?
- Jenny: We're ready! Yeah! - Robin: Yeah!
My people in the house, are you guys ready?
( cheering continues )
And I hope you're ready at home.
The two-hour finale starts now.
It's "Masked Singer" season eight!
Let the games begin!
The Harp!
Harp: This show has meant so much to me.
Thank you for being the best and the frontrunner
for this season on "The Masked Singer."
- Outstanding. - Nicole: Yeah.
Nick: The Lambs!
Lamb: This show has brought us together again.
You're so good!
I don't know who you are, but you're so good.
Harp: I have given it my all to make it this far.
You are beyond powerful. You command that stage.
Lamb: We've kept each other going.
Lamb #2: This is tougher than it looks.
- Ken: Great job. - Man. Wham, bam, thank you, Lamb.
- That was-- - Oh, my gosh.
Harp: I'm doing this for everybody who feels like an outsider.
Lamb: We're doing this in the name of friendship.
Nick: Tonight, the journey ends.
The Harp and the Lambs compete for the very last time.
They will leave it all on the stage
and finally show their faces.
We've got backstage secrets, unseen footage,
and brand new clues in a finale event
that will keep you guessing to the very end.
What is happening?
Nick: Who will hold the trophy
and who is behind the mask?
I am delighted to be here with the one and only Harp.
- Shall I say Queen Harp? - ( laughs )
Harp, I've got a couple of questions for you
from the fans outside in line
and all the fans at home online.
First question. Who is your favorite panelist?
Oh, man, I'm gonna have to say Nicole.
She gives me the most encouragement.
Love that song for you.
That was such a beautiful rendition.
- Your voice is like a hug. - Jenny: Yeah, it is.
Nicole: It's so comforting. There's such security and safety in your voice.
Okay, yeah. Second question, it's a good one.
Let's see. All right, does the costume make singing harder?
Wanna switch?
I've been in one of those costumes before.
I was the Bulldog, and I couldn't see for nothing.
It was a heavy gold helmet on my head the whole time.
Harp: It's a little tough. It's a little tough.
That is true, but you know what?
I gotta wish you the best. Your journey has been amazing.
And as a matter of fact, let's take a look at your journey right here.
The first queen is the Harp!
- Robin: Oh! - Yeah!
Nick: Congratulations, Harp!
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, they took my scepter.
But, oh, my gosh, I just made it to the finals.
I am so excited!
- All right, Harp! - ( overlapping chatter )
( laughing )
Hi. That's me, the Harp, under that visor.
I know you can't see, but right then I was grinning from ear to ear.
See you guys at the finals.
( music playing )
Making it here is a like a dream.
But getting here was tough.
You know what?
Let's head back to the very start.
Whoa! Wait, is that my mask?
- Yeah. - Whoa!
This moment changed my life.
I mean, as soon as I laid eyes on that costume...
What? How am I gonna carry this?
...I knew that the Harp and I were gonna kill it together.

Listen, I'm not saying that it was easy.
- Does that feel secure at all? - Does that feel better?
I mean, this side. But when I start walking...
But it wouldn't be worthwhile if it was, right?
Now-- now, because I think...
There was no chance of me
shaking any kind of "boo-tay" in that costume.
So my vocals had to be, well, near perfect.

Even though I was stuck, I did manage to move the judges.
You are beyond powerful. Like, you command that stage.
I was just in awe. I cannot wait to see who you are.
Because of that, they made me the first Masked Singer queen.
- The Harp! - Nicole: Yeah!
There it is! Queen Harp!
In fact, pause it right there.
I just like looking at it.
I was so proud of that crown,
and no one was about to take it off of me.
And to make sure, next time onstage,
I brought the big guns.

And it's going to feel good tonight to take that trophy home.
Like, really good.
Okay, sorry. I won't harp on.
You see what I did there?
We're making a quick pit stop on the road to the finale.
Don't go anywhere.
Coming up, brand new clues...
Get ready for your Big Time Clue.
unseen exclusives...
We did it! I can't believe it!
and jaw-dropping performances...
♪ I'm on the edge of glory
as we count down to the finale...
Precious little Lambs are going straight to the semifinals with the crown!
...that everyone's going to be talking about.
Nikki Glaser: You can't tell your friends. You can't tell your family.
You can only share with the people on the show,
and there's no other show like that.
Nick: Don't miss a beat.
"Rank" is a perfect word.
Nick: We'll be right back.
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back to the road to the finale.
Ever wonder what it's like to compete on this show?
Well, it's like this.
More characters than ever means more work behind the scenes than ever.
Whether you're a heavyweight champion...
George Foreman!
a sports legend...
- Le'Veon Bell! - Oh!
or a music industry icon...
Gloria Gaynor!
...everyone had to commit.
At the end of the day, I've learned so much about tackling
the things that scare you and make you uncomfortable
and singing your heart out.
Nick: But first, you've to meet your costume.
Oh, my gosh. That's great.
- ( indistinct chatter ) - That is fabulous.
- Holy moly, that's really great. - Oh, it's light.
Yeah, she's light. She's super light.
Wow, that is fantastic. Oh, my goodness.
Great job, man.
I was amazed, and I felt like Poseidon's daughter.
I felt really good in it.
I didn't know it would be so big.
You never know until you see it yourself.
Jerry Springer: Well, I thought it was an upgrade.
Finally there's a suit that fits me.
Nick: Then you've actually got to fit into it.
I'm not familiar with this show.
This is "Drag Race"?
♪ If you'd like to tell me maybe ♪
Okay. I can do it.
- Awesome. - Yes!
It definitely was kinda tough just putting it on
and getting the straps in
and being able to see out of the costume.
Nick: Don't forget the rehearsals and choreography.
It was my first time being choreographed,
so that was my most exciting thing.
Because I was like, "Oh, yeah, I do got a little moves."
Nick: And as always, you can't tell a soul.
I felt like I have been in the CIA,
in witness protection.
Jeff Dunham: They do not mess around.
I thought, yeah, yeah, maybe put on sunglasses
or a hood or something, but this is beyond anything.
Nikki Glaser: You can't tell your friends. You can't tell your family.
You can only share with the people on the show,
and there's no other show like that.
Nick: There are highs and lows.
If I rated it one to ten-- I don't know. 14?
Kat Graham: Like, I got to sing with Kermit the Frog.
Like, I won. In my mind, I'm good.
Nick: But the toughest part is always the costume.
Adam Carolla: I've never been led around more in my life.
But now I think I'm ready to be old.
"Come on, Grandpa." "Where are we going?"
As easy as being in the band was before
and doing all the choreography and singing,
doing the same thing with a giant heavy costume
and mask on was very difficult.
Nikki Glaser: The first time I put on Snowstorm's outfit,
I felt like, "This is so heavy."
I have to pee so bad in this costume,
so watch out for yellow snow.
Like, my clothes was, like, drenched.
It was like I had a workout.
We sweated out a gallon each because we couldn't pee.
- You couldn't go pee in those suits. - There is that.
That is literally not possible.
- I mean, unless you, you know-- - It's evaporating by itself.
- Just go pee. - Thank you for that.
I am here with the tight knit trio
that we call the Lambs.
Now we have a question from your fans. You guys ready?
- Both: Yeah. - All right, what has been
the most unique part about "The Masked Singer"?
Oh, well, I think everything is unique about "The Masked Singer,"
but definitely wearing these masks.
And also not really knowing who our competition is,
but we know that it's pretty stiff and that everyone is amazing.
- So I think that would be it. - I also think having
a different alter ego is pretty cool.
- Never done that before. - Well, you know what?
It's quite the wild ride here on "The Masked Singer,"
and let's relive some of your best bits. Check it out.
Nick: The Lambs!
Whoo!
Lamb: Hi, we're the Lambs.
Don't mind us in this footage.
We're just making it to "The Masked Singer" finale is all.
We did it! I can't believe it!
Do you know just how hard it is to take a selfie
when you have a massive head and little arms?
Lamb #2: We were trying to capture the moment,
but you get it. We were stoked.
Lamb #3: We thought the costumes would be easy,
but we may have spoken too soon.
- ( laughs ) - Wow!
- Yep. - And here she is.
- Oh, that's mine? - Yeah.
What? She's so pretty.
Getting used to the costumes was a challenge for all of us.
- Do you need water, Rose? - Yeah. A little sip.
- Okay. - You guys sound great.
- Thank you. - Places, please.
Lamb: But we couldn't wait to get on that stage
and perform together again.
Did we still have it?

♪ You're yes, then you're no

♪ You're wrong when it's right ♪
♪ It's black and it's white
♪ We fight, we break up
♪ We kiss, we make up
Hearing the panel's reaction
really gave us a confidence boost.
This was my favorite performance tonight.
- Wow! - Those comments felt great,
but nothing felt as good as getting that first crown.
The Lambs!
- Robin: Oh, okay. - Jenny: Awesome!
Yeah, you haven't lived
until you've been crowned by a Muppet.
But queens or not, there was work to do,
so we rehearsed and rehearsed,
and came back with some serious game for '90s night.

were loving on the Lambs.
Lamb #2: Hope that everyone knows
just how much we appreciated those kind words.
Lamb #3: We're more than lambs. We're sisters.
We're sister lambs who sing.
Lamb: Great. Now we'll be known as the Singing Sister Lambs.
Can we edit this last bit out?
We're taking a break, but we'll be right back.
Still trying to nail down who we are?
Well, amongst others, the panel has guessed
Haim, the Corrs, and The Chicks.
Well, we're gonna give you an exclusive clue
and tell you who we are not.
And we'll do that right after the break.
♪ Who is that?
Hi there. Are you ready for your exclusive clue?
The girl trio you can eliminate
from your inquiries is Haim.
So keep guessing.
All right, you are on the road to the finale,
and I am here once again with the Harp.
Now I have another question for you. You ready for this one?
All right, what did you think of the talent this season?
You know, the talent this season has been amazing.
There have been some times where I was really nervous.
And I was like, "You know what? This could be the night."
But that just pushes me to do more and be better.
And I made it here, so I think I did my job.
You definitely did, and you had fun,
but you took it seriously. I love that.
We all love that. And as a matter of fact, take a look at this.
Harp: I'm not gonna lie.

And there he is!
AEW champion and wrestle superstar!
Y'all give it up for Chris Jericho!
- Oh, my gosh! - Y'all, I gotta tell you.
I am shocked, because I was having a great time.
This costume was amazing.
It's the best costume that I've seen on the show.
And I'm disappointed that I got beaten by an avocado.
That's not everyone.
There's one more person we just have to talk about.
Snowstorm.
But we'll dish on her in a little bit.
Enough about me. I'm gonna throw you back to Nick.
We're getting ready for the spectacle ahead.
But as you know, we've had to say good-bye
to a few people along the way.
Take a look at this.
I've always been a fan of the show,
and I finally got a chance to come on it.
And it was everything I thought it would be. It's amazing.
I'm gonna miss those beautiful blue eyes staring at me.
It was kind of freeing and fun just to be a hummingbird.
Montell Jordan: I will miss Panther.
When you put the costume on, you feel like you are journeying
into a whole new expression
or an extension of who you already are.
It gets you out of your comfort zone,
and it's just flat out fun.
But one of the things I did not expect
was having almost no concept of where I was onstage
or backstage with that mask on.
At one point during dress rehearsal, I was sitting there--
it was-- talking like this to the judges.
And judges were here, and Nick had to grab me and turn me around.
I mean, it was almost 90 degrees.
I was like, "Whoa, sorry. Sorry."
It was just a thrill to do. I'm really happy I did it.
I thought what Lord Lloyd Webber said to me, that was a thrill.
This was just the only chance I could see for myself
as a comedian to sing sincerely
and not have people go, "What is she doing?"
'Cause no one knew who I was underneath there.
What a way to earn a living. I've lost three pounds already.
It's a good diet. It's the Hedgehog diet.
It was fun. I mean, we did a lot of very silly things in our time,
but was this perfectly in line with it.
I sing, and I can dress up and be silly,
so this is a perfect show for me to do.
I just wanna say that my parents would be very proud of me,
because they always said to me, "Gerald, get ahead."
I'm gonna miss you. You were very special to me.
I hope you don't mind the drool.
Farewell, and hopefully you find the true love you're looking for.
I'm gonna miss you, my man.
We had a good funky time, you know what I'm saying?
You got some funk on you.
And guess what? You were robbed.
I don't normally become emotional when I'm talking to avocados,
and tonight will be no exception. See you on the other side.
The time has come for me to say good-bye to my guy Milkshake.
Nah, I'm not saying good-bye. I'm taking you with me.
I know you're still trying to figure out who I am,
so I'm gonna give you an exclusive helping hand
and let you know who I am not.
Over the season, the panel guessed
all three of these powerhouses--
Fantasia Barrino, Jordin Sparks, or Jennifer Hudson.
I'm gonna take one of these names off the table
right after the break.
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back. I said I'd take
one of these judges' guesses off the board--
Fantasia Barrino, Jordin Sparks, or Jennifer Hudson.
Well, I can tell you
I am definitely not Fantasia Barrino.
Hope that helps.
You are on the road to the finale,
and I am here in the lair with the Lambs.
I got a question for you guys.
What do you think about your competition this season?
- We don't know who she is! - Neither do I.
She has a beautiful voice. That I can tell you.
Gorgeous. Beautiful voice, yeah.
And speaking of beautiful voices,
you all beautiful voices as well,
- so it's gonna be quite the amazing finale. - Thank you.
So the best to all of you. Let's take a look at your contenders.
Lamb: Let's see whose been the biggest threats.
Lamb #2: Definitely Maize. That guy was incredible.
We thought he'd be the one to beat.
♪ It was beautiful but now it's sour ♪
♪ Yes, it's all gone sour

Whenever I think about how close Snowstorm came
to knocking us out in the last battle, I get chills.
Are we talking about Snowstorm now?
Good, because she was the surprise of the season.
Coming in hot, it's the Snowstorm.
I did "The Masked Singer" because my friend Bob Saget
was telling me about his time on the show, and he just said,
"It wasn't at all what I thought it was gonna be.
It was the best experience of my life."
And he was showing me clip after clip after clip.
But he was just so proud of himself,
and I was like, "This sounds--
I kinda would wanna do that."
And he was like, "You should."
I honestly was, like, crying during my last song
because there's this other side that I never get to explore,
and I finally got to explore it on this show.
♪ 'Cause when I'm with him
- ♪ I am thinking of you - Whoo!
- ♪ Thinking of you - Yes!
The first day that I was on the show
and had a voice lesson, I sobbed, crying,
being like, "I can't do this.
I'm never gonna be able to do this.
This is embarrassing."
And to have gone from that to make it to the semifinals,
to be standing up there with them
and competing against them,
I realized in this show
you have to sound bad before you get good.
♪ Take me away
♪ No more mistakes
♪ 'Cause in your eyes
♪ I'd like to stay
( vocalizing )
Wow. Wow!
I really feel like more people should wear masks
to try things that they're scared of,
because I think so much of what holds us back
from doing things that we're scared to do
is that we feel foolish.
But if no one knows who you are, you can do whatever you want.
I honestly thought you had the greatest challenge
because of the thing behind you.
- Nick? - Is that what it's called?
Nick: Me or the snowflake?
Nikki: I wanted to keep the mask on.
I didn't wanna go back to being Nikki Glaser,
because I really just enjoyed singing,
and I wanted to sing more songs.
"The Masked Singer" was truly
one of the best experiences of my life.
And people say that about TV shows all the time,
but I swear to God they're lying.
This show really was so fun!
And I want you guys to have, like, a losers season
so I can come back and do it again.
I'm so sad it's over.
Thank you, everyone.
You guys are such a good audience.
- Thank you! - We're going to take a breather,
but we'll be back with more revelations
and celebrations in just a few minutes.
Don't move a muscle.
"The Masked Singer" finale
is right around the corner.
Who will take the trophy
and who is hiding behind the mask?
Take it off!
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back to the road to the finale.
The Lambs and the Harp
are going to rip the roof off this studio
as they fight for that Golden Mask trophy.
But before that, we wanted to show you

Did you get any right?
And how did you stack up against the panel?
I cannot wait to get out there and sing tonight,
but I'm also really stoked to take this mask off
and show you and the panel who I am.
I've dropped some pretty heavy hints along the way.
I've never been one to shy away from center stage.
Maybe you picked up on that.
- Or witch hat. - "Wicked"?
Or Harry Potter.
What accomplishment in your incredible career
are you the most proud of?
I think maybe the award I won for my acting.
No, no, no, no, no.
Actually, the one I won for my singing.
Wait, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.
It's probably the one for my comedy
because I got to share that with my besties.
- No way! - Comedy?
What the heck?
The judges were paying attention,
and they threw out some very royal names.
I would think Queen Latifah.
This could be Jordin Sparks.
I've dreamed of all the success I've had since I was a child...
And I was thinking maybe a Jill Scott,
who's got a beautiful voice like that.
I think could be Amber Riley.
...and I wanna add the Masked Singer trophy
to my growing collection.
It could be who I said last time-- Jennifer Hudson.
- Everything-- yes! - ( crowd cheering )
I love you! I love you!
I mean, it's right here in front of you.
Nick: Purple mashed potatoes.
- Ken: What? - ( laughs )
I think you are Jazmine Sullivan.
- Yvette Nicole Brown. - Ariana DeBose.
Still haven't figured it out yet?
Here's one last helping hand.
Get ready for your Big Time Clue.
Do you know who I am?
I am so excited for you to find out.
See you soon.
We're getting closer to the final "baa-ttle,"
and you're almost out of time to figure out who we are under these masks.
We've dropped hints all over the fields this season.
Hopefully we've shepherded you along to the right answer.
- I wanna know who this is. - Oh, man.
Lamb: It's no secret our lambs and ewes
brought us up in the limelight.
We've been blue ribbon lambs for a long time.
"Famous" on a pair of jeans.
It could be in their genes. They could be related.
Whose badonkadonks are more famous
than the Kardashians? That's medical!
I was a doctor! How dare you?
And Ken certainly ran with that clue.
Last time I said the Kardashians,
and the crowd went nuts with respect.
- Not this week. - Hopefully you've picked up
that we've spent some time together
in the recording studio.
All right, go your own way
and cruise the country with your besties.
Turn those daydreams into a reality.
Robin and Ken: Oh.
Nicole definitely did.
- ♪ Go on, go on - I love that.
♪ Go on That's right. 'Cause that's your song.
- ♪ Leave me breathless - Ken: Oh, yes.
- From the Corrs. - I love the Corrs.
Y'all know the Corrs? I love the Corrs.
And, yes, we're all married on farms of our own now.
This has gotta be a girl group,
like a Fifth Harmony minus two.
But we still take our show on the road from time to time.
I think this could be the Willis girls.
No, I think that this is Wilson Phillips.
I think this is the Spice Girls, and I'll tell you why.
- Oh, my gosh! - Let me finish!
We've been grazing our separate pastures in the past,
but now that we're back together...
- Oh, it says something. - Try to lift it up.
- Oh, it says "reunion." - Ken: Oh, reunion.
For a long time, I didn't think that we would be
singing together on the stage ever again.
And about 14 years went by.
I never gave up on the three of us getting back together.
We'll be shearing our harmonies with the world until the cows come home.
Do you have us pegged yet?
If not, this should seal the deal.
- It's your Big Time Clue. - We hope you've got it now,
because our final performances are almost here.
It's gonna knock your socks off.
Blueberry, lambs don't wear socks.
We're taking a break, but we'll be right back.
The final performances of the season are just around the corner.
- But first... - ♪ Someday you'll find it
...never mind Snowstorm.
There was a tweetstorm about our panel
singing with the Muppets.
That's right after the break.
♪ The lovers, the dreamers and me ♪
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back to the road to the finale.
We are minutes away from the big show, but before the fireworks,
let's head back to the moment
the panel and I got to sing with a very special guest.
♪ Why are there so many
♪ Songs about rainbows
♪ And what's on the other side? ♪
♪ Someday we'll find it
♪ The rainbow connection
♪ The lovers, the dreamers, and me ♪
♪ Have you been half asleep
♪ And have you heard voices?
♪ I heard them calling my name
♪ Is this the sweet sound
♪ That calls the young sailors? ♪
♪ The voice might be one and the same ♪
( vocalizing )
♪ Someday we'll find it
♪ The rainbow connection
♪ The lovers, the dreamers, and me ♪
♪ La, da, da, dee, da, da, do ♪
♪ La, da, da, da
♪ Da, de, da, do
( vocalizing )
The final performances are just around the corner,
but we've got one last treat for you.
This season we asked our contestants
to tell us what it was like for them
and to be honest about it.
Some were more honest than others. Much more.
♪ Who are you?
I definitely believe it's a big name under this mask.
Knight, wait. Where are you going, man?
I'm trying to fly away.
All: Take it off! Take it off!
- Take it off! Take it off! - ♪ Oh, I really wanna know
- Take it off! - ♪ Come on, tell me, who are you? ♪
Take it off already! Who is it?
( screaming )
It's great hit show, and it's wonderful and it's popular.
I had no idea of what this entailed,
and it entailed a lot of work.
- What was it like being the Knight tonight? - It was horrible.
I can't tell you how horrible it was.
I couldn't see anything.
I can't walk. The noise was deafening.
The mask was obliterating.
Oh, was that fun.
- Oh, my God. - Yes!
This was like climbing Mount Everest.
You know, a struggle.
This is like-- and if you prevail,
if you sing the song well, and then they go, "Wow,"
I did it. I got it right in one of the rehearsals.
"Wow. I've got it."
Well, I didn't got it.
It was a fascinating experience for me
at this point in my life.
- We love you, man. - Well, we had fun.
"Rank" is a perfect word.
That wardrobe is-- it was very hot.
- It smells to heaven! - ( laughter )
Let me get out of this. Somebody help.
- Okay. - ( laughs )
All right, so much for the road here.
Now we are here.
Let's go and check in and see how everyone's doing.
- Hi. Yes! - Tonight is the big night.
- Well, I just have to say I'm wishing you the best. - Thank you.
Sending you all the positive vibrations,
the alignment, the energy.
I know you're gonna go out there
- and do what you do. - Thank you.
Your God-given gift now, you took it from
the first episode to the last episode.
That's-- come on. Who does that?
- I mean-- - The Harp does that. That's who does that.
I mean, I tried! Just to see if I do a little something something.
We love it, and like I said, we wish you the best.
- And go get 'em. - Thank you. Thank you so much.
Love and light. Let's go!
Tonight is the big night. You guys ready?
Yeah, I mean, we're so excited!
I'm sending you all the best energy.
Go out there, do your thing. You guys got this.
- Aw, thank you. - Thank you.
Fist bumping with lambs. I'd never thought I'd do it.
Seconds away from showtime. I love this part.
