1
00:00:01,836 --> 00:00:04,670
( crowd cheering )
2
00:00:07,383 --> 00:00:11,885
A-list celebrities
whisked away in secret,
3
00:00:11,971 --> 00:00:14,221
Their identities concealed.
4
00:00:14,265 --> 00:00:18,308
They'll sing for their lives,
but who are they?
5
00:00:18,352 --> 00:00:20,769
"the masked singer" is back!
6
00:00:20,813 --> 00:00:25,149
( music playing )
7
00:00:31,365 --> 00:00:36,326
Give it up for our supersleuths,
nicole scherzinger!
8
00:00:41,959 --> 00:00:45,127
Jenny mccarthy-wahlberg!
9
00:00:48,591 --> 00:00:49,590
Hi, guys!
10
00:00:51,469 --> 00:00:53,427
Ken jeong!
11
00:00:58,350 --> 00:00:59,391
( shouts )
12
00:00:59,435 --> 00:01:02,519
- And robin thicke!
- Yeah!
13
00:01:18,537 --> 00:01:19,703
Oh!
14
00:01:19,747 --> 00:01:21,705
Yes!
15
00:01:22,958 --> 00:01:23,916
Let's go!
16
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,460
- Beautiful.
- Wow.
17
00:01:29,256 --> 00:01:31,090
Welcome!
18
00:01:31,133 --> 00:01:35,219
It's our season premiere,
19
00:01:35,262 --> 00:01:39,348
And it's a hollywood
party tonight
20
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:42,476
As our first three
masked megastars compete
21
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,397
In everyone's favorite
celebrity who-sung-it.
22
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:48,482
We got some new digs
this season.
23
00:01:48,526 --> 00:01:50,442
How about this set?
24
00:01:54,156 --> 00:01:59,326
And the biggest audience
in "masked singer" history.
25
00:02:00,246 --> 00:02:02,663
Give it up for yourselves.
26
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:05,707
You guys ready?
27
00:02:05,751 --> 00:02:08,293
( crowd cheering )
28
00:02:08,295 --> 00:02:10,671
An epic season
is coming your way,
29
00:02:10,714 --> 00:02:13,257
With some huge star power.
30
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:18,011
But only one secret celebrity
will take it all
31
00:02:18,055 --> 00:02:22,224
And walk away with the coveted
golden mask trophy.
32
00:02:22,268 --> 00:02:26,603
- Yes.
- Panel, how you guys doing?
33
00:02:26,689 --> 00:02:29,106
- We are pumped!
- Good, man!
34
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:30,440
- Feeling good, nick cannon.
- ( whooping )
35
00:02:30,484 --> 00:02:34,278
- Feeling real good. Yeah!
- Look at this stage!
36
00:02:34,321 --> 00:02:37,156
Whoo!
37
00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:40,200
Well, we actually have
something else new this season.
38
00:02:40,244 --> 00:02:43,370
Uh, that giant bell
right there.
39
00:02:43,414 --> 00:02:45,998
- Oh, snap!
- What is that bell?
40
00:02:46,041 --> 00:02:47,708
- What is it for?
- What is that bell, nick?
41
00:02:47,751 --> 00:02:50,169
We'll explain all of that
bell business later.
42
00:02:50,212 --> 00:02:53,130
Wait, you're not telling us?
You're not telling us, daddy?
43
00:02:53,174 --> 00:02:55,340
- Come on!
- Not yet! Be patient.
44
00:02:55,384 --> 00:02:57,384
Tonight, three singers
will perform,
45
00:02:57,386 --> 00:03:01,513
But only one moves on moves on
to next week's abba night.
46
00:03:01,557 --> 00:03:04,516
The champion will be decided by
a ruthless battle royale.
47
00:03:04,602 --> 00:03:08,020
- Mm.
- Yeah, it's an uphill battle,
48
00:03:08,063 --> 00:03:10,522
And no one
is safe this season.
49
00:03:10,566 --> 00:03:14,193
All right, let's get this
premiere started, shall we?
50
00:03:14,236 --> 00:03:16,486
- Yes! Yes, yes, yes!
- It's a party.
51
00:03:16,530 --> 00:03:21,617
Our first challenger, a singer
with a "colt" following,
52
00:03:21,660 --> 00:03:24,369
Here comes the mustang.
53
00:03:24,413 --> 00:03:25,913
The mustang?
54
00:03:25,956 --> 00:03:27,456
Oh, look, look, look!
55
00:03:27,499 --> 00:03:32,544
( music playing )
56
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:34,129
Oh, my god!
57
00:03:34,131 --> 00:03:36,590
Oh, my lord,
that is so sexy.
58
00:03:39,345 --> 00:03:41,136
She's got some swag,
that horse.
59
00:03:41,138 --> 00:03:43,055
I know! Look at that.
60
00:03:43,098 --> 00:03:46,225
All right, mustang.
61
00:03:46,268 --> 00:03:49,853
Oops. Oh, oh, okay.
62
00:03:49,897 --> 00:03:52,314
She's got a nice little body.
She might be a dancer.
63
00:03:55,027 --> 00:03:57,319
Who is the mustang?
64
00:03:57,363 --> 00:04:01,490
Here are some clues
straight from the horse's mouth.
65
00:04:01,533 --> 00:04:04,743
( whinnies )
66
00:04:04,787 --> 00:04:09,456
From the outside,
my life may look like
a shiny carnival.
67
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:14,461
I've sold out arenas,
I've won awards,
68
00:04:14,463 --> 00:04:16,755
And even collaborated
with elvis.
69
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:20,008
- What?
- Is it elvis-elvis
or elvis costello?
70
00:04:20,010 --> 00:04:21,468
A-thank you.
Thank you very much.
71
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:28,392
But this ride has come
with its fair share of pain.
72
00:04:28,394 --> 00:04:31,270
I've almost died
more times than I can count.
73
00:04:35,234 --> 00:04:38,277
But I'm a survivor.
I'm hell on heels.
74
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,696
Barbarella?
Pamela anderson?
75
00:04:40,739 --> 00:04:42,155
Every time I'm counted out,
76
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:44,032
I come back stronger
than before,
77
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:46,326
With my herd by my side.
78
00:04:47,997 --> 00:04:51,373
So tonight I'm reigning in
all my horsepower
79
00:04:51,375 --> 00:04:54,251
As the sexy, mighty mustang.
80
00:04:54,295 --> 00:04:58,380

how scary can singing here be?

- Yes!
- Really good.
107
00:07:06,093 --> 00:07:11,388
Oh, no! Wow!
108
00:07:11,432 --> 00:07:14,433
Mustang! Wow!
109
00:07:14,435 --> 00:07:17,018
- The perfect choice.
- Oh, my god!
110
00:07:17,062 --> 00:07:19,479
The tone of her voice
is so beautiful.
111
00:07:19,523 --> 00:07:21,440
The confidence.
She was so effortless, right?
112
00:07:21,483 --> 00:07:24,443
- Effortless. Effortless.
- Effortless.
113
00:07:24,486 --> 00:07:28,530
- A true star.
- That "must-stank."
114
00:07:29,616 --> 00:07:31,158
Obviously, we loved her.
115
00:07:31,201 --> 00:07:32,817
Well, it wouldn't be
a premiere party
116
00:07:32,828 --> 00:07:36,079
- Without some
free stuff, right?
- Robin: Whoo! Bring it on.
117
00:07:36,123 --> 00:07:40,292
The men in black have prepared
swag bags for our singers...
118
00:07:40,294 --> 00:07:43,920
- Oh, my god, I love swag bags.
- ...With a little clue
to help us as well.
119
00:07:43,964 --> 00:07:46,965
Men in black,
bring out the swag bag.
120
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,051
( fanfare )
121
00:07:50,095 --> 00:07:52,053
- Oh, my god.
- Swag bag, swag bag!
122
00:07:52,097 --> 00:07:54,556
- Ken: Swag bag!
- Bring that swag bag.
123
00:07:54,558 --> 00:07:57,350
Jenny: Oh, she's on
the cover of something.
124
00:07:57,394 --> 00:08:00,520
- Nick: Okay.
- "people."
125
00:08:00,564 --> 00:08:04,357
I truly believe that beauty
comes from the inside,
126
00:08:04,401 --> 00:08:07,477
But this time,
it's on the cover.
127
00:08:07,488 --> 00:08:09,196
Ken: On the cover.
128
00:08:09,239 --> 00:08:11,281
Nick:
So, picking up any clues?
129
00:08:11,325 --> 00:08:14,326
Yes, ken and her were not
in the same issue magazine.
130
00:08:14,328 --> 00:08:17,162
I was a centerfold,
and that's the only way
I'll do a magazine.
131
00:08:17,206 --> 00:08:21,082
Now, I think the onstage clue,
132
00:08:21,126 --> 00:08:23,251
This being "people magazine's"
most beautiful person--
133
00:08:23,295 --> 00:08:25,128
She was on the cover
a few years ago.
134
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:29,174
Mustang is p!Nk.
Hear me out.
135
00:08:29,218 --> 00:08:31,426
- This makes sense. I know
what I'm talking about.
- ( crowd jeering )
136
00:08:31,470 --> 00:08:35,639
Do you know what
the barbells are for, dude?
She's jacked, dawg.
137
00:08:35,682 --> 00:08:37,349
- So stupid!
- She's jacked.
138
00:08:37,392 --> 00:08:38,975
Robin, make some sense
out of this.
139
00:08:39,394 --> 00:08:43,104
You know, I started looking
at the clues, and I'm thinking,
okay, the barbell.
140
00:08:43,106 --> 00:08:46,066
This person was famous
for their workout videos.
141
00:08:46,109 --> 00:08:46,942
There were three eggs
in the nest.
142
00:08:46,985 --> 00:08:48,401
I'm thinking "three's company."
143
00:08:48,779 --> 00:08:52,113
I'm thinking
a lot of people didn't know
that she could also sing.
144
00:08:52,115 --> 00:08:54,199
I'm thinking this might be
suzanne somers.
145
00:08:54,243 --> 00:08:55,909
- You know what?
- Oh, wow.
146
00:08:55,953 --> 00:08:58,995
- That is a good guess.
- Suzanne somers
and the thighmaster?
147
00:08:58,997 --> 00:09:01,957
- Robin! Robin!
- I'm going with that.
148
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,792
Jenny:
And just to help you out,
you know, suzanne somers
149
00:09:03,835 --> 00:09:06,336
Was in a little bit of
an accident about a year ago,
150
00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:08,255
Took a long time
to rehabilitate herself.
151
00:09:08,298 --> 00:09:09,464
She's also an amazing singer.
152
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:10,966
This could very well be
suzanne somers.
153
00:09:11,009 --> 00:09:12,968
Let's go! Let's go!
154
00:09:12,970 --> 00:09:15,387
Is robin starting the season
off the right way?
155
00:09:15,389 --> 00:09:19,391
- You can ring my bell.
- I think you guys are all off.
156
00:09:19,393 --> 00:09:22,394
I think that this could be
a singer from a group.
157
00:09:22,437 --> 00:09:26,231
She mentioned
her herd by her side.
158
00:09:26,233 --> 00:09:28,066
She's got a strong,
powerful voice.
159
00:09:28,110 --> 00:09:31,152
I'm getting ann,
nancy wilson from heart.
160
00:09:31,196 --> 00:09:35,115
Or chrissie hynde
from the pretenders.
161
00:09:35,117 --> 00:09:38,201
Nicole, look at
the middle of her chest.
What is that?
162
00:09:38,245 --> 00:09:39,995
- Ken: Heart!
- Oh!
163
00:09:40,038 --> 00:09:42,706
Oh, snap!
164
00:09:42,708 --> 00:09:45,292
Well, we don't know who you are,
but we do think you're amazing.
165
00:09:45,335 --> 00:09:47,294
- Robin:
Absolutely. Amazing.
- Thank you so much.
166
00:09:47,337 --> 00:09:49,004
- Thank you. Mwah!
- Ken: So good.
167
00:09:49,047 --> 00:09:51,214
- All right, well, mustang...
- Thank you.
168
00:09:51,258 --> 00:09:54,467
...You can
giddy-up on backstage.
169
00:09:54,469 --> 00:09:56,636
Keep it going
for mustang, y'all.
170
00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:02,726
- She's good.
- She's very good.
171
00:10:02,769 --> 00:10:04,561
We are back, baby. Whoo!
172

♪ who is that?
174
00:10:12,145 --> 00:10:14,946
It's the season nine premiere
175
00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:18,116
- Of "the masked singer!"
- whoo!
176
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:19,659
- Season nine!
- The place is so hot,
177
00:10:19,703 --> 00:10:22,287
Security's turning people away.
178
00:10:22,331 --> 00:10:25,874
And yet they let
ken jeong in here.
179
00:10:25,917 --> 00:10:29,127
I'm distinguished now.
I'm wearing glasses.
How dare you?
180
00:10:29,171 --> 00:10:32,964
Sit your distinguished
butt down. Let's go.
181
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:35,508
Our next singer also made it
through the door.
182
00:10:35,552 --> 00:10:38,345
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's the gnome.
183
00:10:38,388 --> 00:10:41,181
- Robin: The gnome?
- A gnome?
184
00:10:41,266 --> 00:10:44,017
( music playing )
185
00:10:44,061 --> 00:10:46,186
- Oh, my god!
- Oh, wow.
186
00:10:46,229 --> 00:10:49,564
- It's a big rig.
- He's so cute!
187
00:10:49,566 --> 00:10:51,358
Oh, my god.
188
00:10:51,401 --> 00:10:55,362
He brought the whole
olive garden buffet with him.
189
00:10:55,364 --> 00:10:57,364
Jenny:
Oh, this is gonna be
the hardest one ever.
190
00:10:57,366 --> 00:11:00,367
I have no idea how tall he is,
how big he is,
191
00:11:00,410 --> 00:11:03,453
How old he is,
how young he is.
192
00:11:03,497 --> 00:11:06,331
He's so cute.
193
00:11:10,962 --> 00:11:15,965
Just like a wise magical gnome
observing the forest around him,
194
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:18,176
I've become a mainstay
in your lives
195
00:11:18,178 --> 00:11:20,720
Over the course
of my storied career.
196
00:11:20,764 --> 00:11:24,140
Just ask the producers.
I really have done it all.
197
00:11:24,184 --> 00:11:26,935
I've joked with
the cleverest comedians,
198
00:11:26,978 --> 00:11:29,437
From robin williams
to ben stiller.
199
00:11:29,481 --> 00:11:33,191
I've performed with
the biggest names in music,
200
00:11:33,235 --> 00:11:35,485
From lin-manuel miranda
to madonna.
201
00:11:35,529 --> 00:11:39,447
Umbrella.
Maybe it's "rainn" wilson
from "the office"?
202
00:11:39,449 --> 00:11:40,782
Get out.
203
00:11:40,826 --> 00:11:44,202
And my address book includes
all the president's men,
204
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:46,079
From barack to biden.
205
00:11:46,081 --> 00:11:48,331
Tony danza! Could be
a famous costar of his.
206
00:11:48,333 --> 00:11:50,834
But there's always more to do,
207
00:11:50,877 --> 00:11:54,295
Especially when you're working
for the fun of it.
208
00:11:54,339 --> 00:11:58,383
Because being a true entertainer
isn't about money or awards.
209
00:11:58,427 --> 00:12:00,510
It's about going
to bed every night
210
00:12:00,554 --> 00:12:03,304
Having put a smile
on someone's face
211
00:12:03,348 --> 00:12:06,641
And being proud
of what you've done.
212
00:12:19,322 --> 00:12:22,407

00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:20,942
Such a great performance.
Panel, talk to the gnome.
249
00:14:20,986 --> 00:14:23,444
Gnome, I'm just
captivated by you.
250
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:25,488
I'm in awe looking at you
and all the detail.
251
00:14:25,532 --> 00:14:27,448
You're just gorgeous.
252
00:14:27,492 --> 00:14:30,192
And I wanted to say
that your vocals,
253
00:14:30,203 --> 00:14:32,495
Your voice just melted
my heart.
254
00:14:32,539 --> 00:14:36,583
You made this entire country
smile after that performance.
255
00:14:36,626 --> 00:14:38,167
Robin: Amazing.
256
00:14:39,546 --> 00:14:43,381
I think that this is
the biggest celebrity legend
257
00:14:43,383 --> 00:14:46,259
We've ever had
on "the masked singer!"
258
00:14:46,303 --> 00:14:49,137
- Nicole: Wow.
- Robin: Maybe, yeah,
if it's who I think it is.
259
00:14:49,180 --> 00:14:51,139
I don't think you and I
think it's the same person.
260
00:14:51,182 --> 00:14:53,099
- Jenny: Maybe not.
- But I'm pretty sure
I know that voice very well.
261
00:14:53,143 --> 00:14:54,309
Really?
262
00:14:54,644 --> 00:15:00,106
- I think I "gnome"
exactly who this is.
- Jenny: Oh!
263
00:15:00,108 --> 00:15:04,611
All right, bring out
the swag bag, men in black.
264
00:15:04,696 --> 00:15:06,195
( fanfare )
265
00:15:06,239 --> 00:15:08,656
The swag bag! Uh-oh!
266
00:15:14,497 --> 00:15:18,082
Nick: All right,
what's in the bag? Wow.
267
00:15:18,084 --> 00:15:21,044
- Ken: Oh, jfk. A kennedy medal.
- Robin: Kennedy center.
268
00:15:21,087 --> 00:15:23,463
- Kennedy center.
- Kennedy center honor.
269
00:15:23,506 --> 00:15:25,131
- Robin: Honoree.
- Nicole: Wow.
270
00:15:25,133 --> 00:15:26,716
Gnome:
I met president biden.
271
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,219
I said, "you know,
I used to be as tall as you."
272
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:34,849
And he said, "I used to
have hair like you."
273
00:15:34,893 --> 00:15:38,102
- So he still has his hair.
- And his sense of humor.
274
00:15:38,104 --> 00:15:41,064
All right, are you
picking up on any clues?
275
00:15:41,107 --> 00:15:43,191
- It's a new year, y'all.
- "it's a new year, y'all."
276
00:15:43,234 --> 00:15:46,027
It's season nine.
We are going big.
277
00:15:46,029 --> 00:15:49,155
We are going bigger.
And we are going biggest!
278
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:53,117
And I think that this
could be the legendary
279
00:15:53,161 --> 00:15:56,079
Tootsie himself,
dustin hoffman!
280
00:15:56,164 --> 00:15:57,997
- Ken: Good guess!
- You never know.
281
00:15:58,041 --> 00:15:59,791
- Ken: Oh, my god.
- Yeah.
282
00:15:59,834 --> 00:16:02,961
- We had the ben stiller clue.
"meet the fockers."
- I like that.
283
00:16:03,004 --> 00:16:04,295
- Ken: "meet the fockers."
- yes.
284
00:16:04,381 --> 00:16:06,422
We had the robin williams.
"hook."
285
00:16:06,424 --> 00:16:08,383
- Oh, that's right.
- Oh, I'm sorry, that's right.
286
00:16:08,385 --> 00:16:12,095
You all saw the umbrella.
For what? "rain man!"
287
00:16:12,097 --> 00:16:14,931
- Ken: Wow!
- That's our method gnome.
288
00:16:14,975 --> 00:16:17,392
This is "the graduate" himself,
dustin hoffman.
289
00:16:17,435 --> 00:16:18,851
- Why not?
- Ken: That's a great guess.
290
00:16:18,895 --> 00:16:22,188
It's not bad.
Robin said he was
feeling somebody.
291
00:16:22,232 --> 00:16:24,357
Yeah, from the clue packages,
we saw producers,
292
00:16:24,401 --> 00:16:27,276
We saw the tony danza
on an award,
293
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,530
Which is tony awards,
and we saw the stethoscope.
294
00:16:30,573 --> 00:16:34,075
And I was thinking, okay,
could this be mel brooks from
"the producers" films,
295
00:16:34,119 --> 00:16:35,284
And the stethoscope
for "high anxiety."
296
00:16:35,328 --> 00:16:37,161
But then I heard the voice
297
00:16:37,247 --> 00:16:40,206
And I've seen, I think,
every single one of your films.
298
00:16:40,250 --> 00:16:41,457
- Ken: Really?
- I'm one of your biggest fans.
299
00:16:41,501 --> 00:16:43,418
Even hung out
with your son a few times.
300
00:16:43,461 --> 00:16:45,378
I know that voice.
That's dustin hoffman,
no doubt.
301
00:16:45,380 --> 00:16:47,922
- Nicole: Whoo!
- Could it be?
302
00:16:47,966 --> 00:16:49,841
No doubt. I know the voice.
303
00:16:49,843 --> 00:16:51,467
Ken: I feel like we're
in the presence of greatness,
304
00:16:51,469 --> 00:16:54,429
But I'm thinking right now
someone who I've wanted
305
00:16:54,472 --> 00:16:56,222
Since the very beginning
of "the masked singer."
306
00:16:56,266 --> 00:17:00,226
Someone like, oh,
I don't know, robert deniro.
307
00:17:00,228 --> 00:17:03,062
- Jenny: Oh, my god!
- Nicole: Oh, my--
308
00:17:03,064 --> 00:17:06,232
Yeah! He worked with
robin williams in "awakenings,"
309
00:17:06,276 --> 00:17:08,192
Ben stiller in
"meet the parents."
310
00:17:08,194 --> 00:17:10,111
How about that tony danza?
Who's the boss?
311
00:17:10,113 --> 00:17:12,697
I'll tell you who's the boss.
You know.
312
00:17:12,699 --> 00:17:15,366
"hey! Hey, you talking to me?"
you know what I mean?
313
00:17:15,410 --> 00:17:19,037
- That is not robert deniro!
- Nick: You never know.
314
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,247
But one thing we do know,
315
00:17:21,291 --> 00:17:24,375
- We are in the presence
of greatness.
- This is exciting!
316
00:17:24,419 --> 00:17:27,670
- I'm so excited.
- You guys, keep it going
one more time
317
00:17:27,714 --> 00:17:31,340
For such a terrific
performance from the gnome.
318
00:17:31,384 --> 00:17:33,259
- I think you're right.
- I know that voice.
319
00:17:33,303 --> 00:17:37,305
That's amazing.

332

Oh, you're right.
She is tall.
333
00:18:27,941 --> 00:18:31,067
- Maybe she's a model.
- Oh, you're right.
334
00:18:31,069 --> 00:18:33,653
Such an amazing costume.
335
00:18:38,526 --> 00:18:40,660
I grew up
far from the spotlight,
336
00:18:40,703 --> 00:18:43,955
A dancer in the dark,
and I never quite fit in.
337
00:18:43,998 --> 00:18:47,959
I mean, look at me.
338
00:18:48,044 --> 00:18:50,211
But fitting in
was never something
339
00:18:50,255 --> 00:18:52,338
I really worried about,
340
00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:56,092
Because I knew early on
I was born to stand out.
341
00:18:57,220 --> 00:19:00,680
So I did my own thing
and ignored anyone
342
00:19:00,723 --> 00:19:02,265
Who wanted me to conform.
343
00:19:02,308 --> 00:19:04,517
Oh, my gosh,
is that buckingham palace?
344
00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:10,189
Embracing my oddities,
snakes and all,
has taken me far.
345
00:19:12,986 --> 00:19:15,778
From the super bowl
to this very stage.
346
00:19:15,822 --> 00:19:19,198
That's right. Technically,
I've been here before.
347
00:19:19,242 --> 00:19:21,492
Did someone perform
her song here?
348
00:19:21,494 --> 00:19:24,704
But this time,
I'm here to compete,
349
00:19:24,747 --> 00:19:27,999
And "masked singer" feels like
the perfect stage for me.
350
00:19:28,042 --> 00:19:30,209
Because, honestly?
Look around.
351
00:19:30,253 --> 00:19:33,212
It doesn't get much weirder
than this. ( laughs )

I'm done. I'm done.
387
00:21:56,149 --> 00:21:58,566
I don't even know
what just happened.
388
00:21:58,568 --> 00:22:01,527
Wow. That was awesome.
389
00:22:01,571 --> 00:22:02,570
Wow.
390
00:22:04,866 --> 00:22:10,119
We definitely
can't leave you alone
after that performance.
391
00:22:10,121 --> 00:22:13,789
Nicole, you look like
you're still in shock.
392
00:22:13,833 --> 00:22:19,295
I don't think I've ever
been this speechless
in nine seasons, nick.
393
00:22:22,175 --> 00:22:24,133
What I love more than
anything in the world
394
00:22:24,135 --> 00:22:27,094
Is singing and connecting
with people.
395
00:22:27,138 --> 00:22:29,096
And if you don't freaking
take your heart
396
00:22:29,098 --> 00:22:31,390
And rip it inside out
and put it on the stage,
397
00:22:31,434 --> 00:22:35,978
Then what are you doing it for?
You're wasting people's times!
398
00:22:36,064 --> 00:22:38,939
And that's what you did tonight.
399
00:22:38,983 --> 00:22:42,401
Indeed.
Well, we are ready
for another clue.
400
00:22:42,445 --> 00:22:46,530
Men in black,
bring out the swag bag.
401
00:22:46,574 --> 00:22:51,243
( fanfare )
402
00:23:00,129 --> 00:23:03,130
- Robin: Whoo!
- Jenny: Okay, what's that say?
403
00:23:03,174 --> 00:23:06,342
- Uh, "medusa."
- "medusa, three hundred and--"
404
00:23:06,344 --> 00:23:08,427
Jenny: Wait a minute.
"340 million sold."
405
00:23:08,471 --> 00:23:10,930
- Oh.
- She's sold a lot of albums.
406
00:23:10,932 --> 00:23:14,600
Sometimes success comes
407
00:23:14,644 --> 00:23:17,436
In the grayest of places.
408
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,022
- Ken: Grayest of places.
- Grayest.
409
00:23:20,066 --> 00:23:21,232
Oh, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
410
00:23:21,275 --> 00:23:23,150
We saw that dvd and I thought,
411
00:23:23,194 --> 00:23:25,528
"oh, maybe someone that possibly
sang on a soundtrack."
412
00:23:25,571 --> 00:23:30,241
A massive movie
with a massive soundtrack,
"50 shades of gray."
413
00:23:30,284 --> 00:23:32,118
- Oh.
- Ken: Oh, I love that.
414
00:23:32,161 --> 00:23:36,288
- Right? Ellie goulding.
She's british.
- Robin: Yes.
415
00:23:36,332 --> 00:23:38,290
- I think I'm on
to something, you guys.
- You are.
416
00:23:38,334 --> 00:23:40,084
- Right?
- That's a great guess.
417
00:23:40,128 --> 00:23:42,503
- Well said.
- Ellie's a good guess.
418
00:23:42,505 --> 00:23:45,339
You know, I heard
"dancer in the dark"
in the clue package.
419
00:23:45,383 --> 00:23:47,925
Immediately thought
of my muse, bjork.
420
00:23:47,969 --> 00:23:52,721
But I think
the medusa is meghan markle,
and I'll tell you why.
421
00:23:52,723 --> 00:23:54,098
- Nicole: Oh...
- This-- hear me out.
422
00:23:54,434 --> 00:23:56,725
- I'm going.
Good night, everybody.
- Hear me out. Hear me out.
423
00:23:56,727 --> 00:23:58,602
- Good night.
- Hear me out.
424
00:23:58,646 --> 00:24:01,105
She grew up far
from the spotlight.
425
00:24:01,190 --> 00:24:03,649
Something I can relate to.
I'm on fox.
426
00:24:03,693 --> 00:24:06,360
Now, hear me out.
427
00:24:06,404 --> 00:24:08,320
There was a--
a knighted chess piece.
428
00:24:08,364 --> 00:24:13,117
Duh-doy! Royalty.
Meghan markle.
429
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,994
We gonna say "no, ken,"
on three.
430
00:24:14,996 --> 00:24:16,287
One, two, three.
431
00:24:16,330 --> 00:24:20,332
- All: No, ken!
- Sit your ass down.
432
00:24:22,128 --> 00:24:25,671
Nick I am two words--
"in-trigued."
433
00:24:27,717 --> 00:24:30,426
Okay? Okay, first of all,
we saw buckingham palace.
434
00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:32,887
So immediately I'm thinking
of some english singers.
435
00:24:32,930 --> 00:24:34,346
- Right.
- So I'm like, is it jessie j?
436
00:24:34,390 --> 00:24:37,433
Is it charli xcx?
Is it dua lipa?
437
00:24:37,477 --> 00:24:40,352
But that was such
a lorde tone,
438
00:24:40,396 --> 00:24:42,354
- The way that
she started out with.
- It's true.
439
00:24:42,356 --> 00:24:43,189
- Ooh, yeah.
- I love her so much.
440
00:24:43,441 --> 00:24:45,399
- Right?
- It could definitely be lorde.
441
00:24:45,401 --> 00:24:47,526
Listen, I don't know
who you are yet,
442
00:24:47,570 --> 00:24:50,654
But I'm going to lay in bed
and think of this song tonight.
443
00:24:50,698 --> 00:24:52,490
Thank you.
444
00:24:52,533 --> 00:24:56,202
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
keep it going for her.
445
00:24:57,205 --> 00:25:00,331
Medusa, you can
slither on back.
446
00:25:00,374 --> 00:25:03,375
This was the best
raw performance...
447
00:25:03,419 --> 00:25:06,504
- Yeah, right?
- ...In ages.
448
00:25:06,547 --> 00:25:08,547
It's already been
a spectacular premiere.
449
00:25:08,591 --> 00:25:11,175
We've seen three
incredible performances.
450
00:25:11,219 --> 00:25:16,138
But, as promised,
it's time to talk
about that bell.
451
00:25:16,140 --> 00:25:20,518
- Ken: Yeah!
- Finally, the bell.
452
00:25:20,561 --> 00:25:24,313
Panel, now I know
in seasons past,
453
00:25:24,357 --> 00:25:26,941
You've lost some
of your favorites early on,
454
00:25:26,984 --> 00:25:28,526
Like panther, mermaid.
455
00:25:28,528 --> 00:25:29,527
- Yes.
- Right.
456
00:25:29,570 --> 00:25:32,404
So, we think
we've found a solution.
457
00:25:32,448 --> 00:25:33,948
What?
458
00:25:33,991 --> 00:25:37,368
You can save a mask
from elimination
459
00:25:37,411 --> 00:25:41,038
By ringing
what we are calling
460
00:25:41,082 --> 00:25:45,209
The ding-dong keep it on.
461
00:25:45,253 --> 00:25:47,378
- Ken: Wow!
- Okay!
462
00:25:47,463 --> 00:25:51,549
- Are you kidding me?
- Somebody needed to tell you
that nick, okay?
463
00:25:51,592 --> 00:25:54,927
- Oh!
- Oh!
464
00:25:54,971 --> 00:25:56,095
- Oh!
- Slap!
465
00:25:56,097 --> 00:25:58,430
- That was good.
- Thank you, nick.
466
00:25:58,474 --> 00:26:02,059
- Can I carry on, please?
- Yes. Carry on, carry on.
467
00:26:02,061 --> 00:26:05,187
You can only ring the bell
three times
468
00:26:05,231 --> 00:26:07,356
Throughout
the first three rounds.
469
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,484
Those three saved singers
will battle it out
470
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:15,322
On a special episode
to rejoin the competition.
471
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,956
Okay, now that we have
a clear understanding,
472
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,207
Let's do this.
473
00:26:25,251 --> 00:26:29,295
Audience and panel,
voting is now open.
474
00:26:29,338 --> 00:26:32,798
- Wow.
- Who is your favorite
of the night?
475
00:26:32,842 --> 00:26:37,720
Which singers will duke it out
in the battle royale?
Who's going home first?
476
00:26:37,755 --> 00:26:41,098
The results and our first
celebrity unmasking
477
00:26:41,183 --> 00:26:44,101
Of the season
right after the break.
478
00:26:44,103 --> 00:26:47,396
- Wow, this is gonna be tough.
- Brutal.
479
00:26:49,066 --> 00:26:50,190
♪ who is that?
480
00:26:53,988 --> 00:26:55,696
♪ who is that?
481
00:26:57,491 --> 00:27:01,160
The premiere party
is going strong here
482
00:27:01,203 --> 00:27:03,954
On "the masked singer."
483
00:27:03,998 --> 00:27:06,498
But it's that time
of the night
484
00:27:06,542 --> 00:27:11,462
Where we have our first
unmasking of the season.
485
00:27:11,505 --> 00:27:16,383
Is it yay or "neigh"
for the mustang?
486
00:27:16,427 --> 00:27:20,054
- Oh!
- Is it time to go home
for the gnome?
487
00:27:20,097 --> 00:27:21,555
( jeering )
488
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:25,351
Have things gotten
a little hairy for medusa?
489
00:27:25,394 --> 00:27:26,977
( jeering )
490
00:27:27,063 --> 00:27:29,271
The results are in.
491
00:27:29,273 --> 00:27:30,105
Aah!
492
00:27:30,149 --> 00:27:33,317
The first singer of the season
493
00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:36,612
- To get unmasked is...
- Whoo!
494
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:44,244
Don't do it, don't do it,
don't do it.
495
00:27:50,503 --> 00:27:54,213
- ...The gnome.
- ( all groaning )
496
00:27:54,298 --> 00:27:55,923
Keep it going for the gnome.
497
00:27:55,966 --> 00:28:01,095
Mustang and medusa,
race on back...
498
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:05,182
- Oh, no!
- ...To prepare for
the battle royale.
499
00:28:05,226 --> 00:28:08,185
- Ken: Wow.
- The gnome.
500
00:28:08,229 --> 00:28:10,312
Let's show him some love.
501
00:28:10,356 --> 00:28:14,483
( chanting )
gnome! Gnome! Gnome!
502
00:28:17,321 --> 00:28:19,780
- Should we use the bell?
- No, I want to see.
503
00:28:19,782 --> 00:28:22,157
I want to see--
I want to see who's
under the mask.
504
00:28:22,201 --> 00:28:25,494
Gnome, we are so sorry that
your journey is ending here,
505
00:28:25,496 --> 00:28:28,956
- But we cannot wait
to see your famous face.
- Yes!
506
00:28:28,999 --> 00:28:31,917
Whoo! Come on!
507
00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:33,961
But right before
we get to that,
508
00:28:33,963 --> 00:28:36,588
We got to get to
our panel's final guesses.
509
00:28:36,590 --> 00:28:38,257
Ken, what you got?
510
00:28:38,300 --> 00:28:40,718
He worked with ben stiller
in "meet the parents,"
511
00:28:40,761 --> 00:28:42,553
Robin williams in "awakenings."
512
00:28:42,638 --> 00:28:44,263
"you talking to me?"
513
00:28:44,306 --> 00:28:47,599
Yes, I am, robert deniro.
514
00:28:49,395 --> 00:28:52,062
- No.
- Jenny: I don't think it is.
515
00:28:52,106 --> 00:28:54,356
- "you talking to me?"
- I kinda get why
he goes that big.
516
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,525
I do think this
is legendary status.
517
00:28:56,569 --> 00:28:58,318
I saw that tony award,
518
00:28:58,362 --> 00:29:00,154
And then I thought
of maybe tony bennett.
519
00:29:00,197 --> 00:29:03,115
Robin:
Mm. That'd be nice.
520
00:29:03,159 --> 00:29:06,994
- Nick: Robin, what you got?
- There was a clue that said,
"all the president's men."
521
00:29:06,996 --> 00:29:09,788
And there was the jfk
kennedy center honors.
522
00:29:09,832 --> 00:29:12,791
But I really didn't
put all the clues together
until I heard the voice.
523
00:29:12,835 --> 00:29:15,210
It was the voice that struck me.
I'm going with dustin hoffman.
524
00:29:15,296 --> 00:29:17,755
- Jenny: Nice.
- Ken: Good guess.
525
00:29:17,798 --> 00:29:20,424
Nicole: I'm picking up what
you're putting down, robin.
526
00:29:20,426 --> 00:29:23,677
This is a man
who has won two oscars,
527
00:29:23,721 --> 00:29:28,015
- Which is two more
than ken has won.
- Okay, I know--
528
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:31,351
This is the legendary
dustin hoffman.
529
00:29:31,395 --> 00:29:33,187
Ken: Good guess.
Good guess.
530
00:29:33,230 --> 00:29:35,147
Nick:
Great guesses up there.
531
00:29:35,191 --> 00:29:38,567
But I think we really
want to know who the gnome
is right now, right?
532
00:29:38,611 --> 00:29:40,569
- Yeah!
- Let's go!
533
00:29:40,613 --> 00:29:42,029
Say it with me.
534
00:29:42,072 --> 00:29:45,991
( all chanting )
take it off! Take it off!
535
00:29:46,035 --> 00:29:48,193

- oh, my god! Who is it?
536
00:29:48,204 --> 00:29:51,914

537
00:29:51,957 --> 00:29:53,999

539
00:29:57,046 --> 00:29:59,630
This is crazy!
540
00:29:59,673 --> 00:30:02,132
Aah, I'm freaking out!
541
00:30:02,176 --> 00:30:04,384
Is it? Is it? Is it?
542
00:30:04,428 --> 00:30:08,889
The legendary tony, grammy,
and emmy award-winner,
543
00:30:08,933 --> 00:30:11,391
The one and only
dick van dyke!
544
00:30:11,435 --> 00:30:13,435
- ( screaming )

545

546
00:30:17,149 --> 00:30:20,108
Nick: Wow!
547
00:30:21,403 --> 00:30:23,612
Wow!
548
00:30:23,656 --> 00:30:26,031
Nick: Such an honor!
549
00:30:26,033 --> 00:30:28,617
We are in the presence
of an icon,
550
00:30:28,661 --> 00:30:30,619
- Ladies and gentlemen.
- Whoa!
551
00:30:30,663 --> 00:30:33,455
Oh, my god.
552
00:30:33,457 --> 00:30:35,541
Jenny: Oh, my god.
553
00:30:35,584 --> 00:30:38,877
This is the most seasoned
554
00:30:38,921 --> 00:30:42,381
And decorated entertainer
555
00:30:42,424 --> 00:30:46,885
We have had on our show,
ladies and gentlemen.
556
00:30:46,929 --> 00:30:51,098
- Wow. Wow.
- Truly a legend.
557
00:30:51,141 --> 00:30:53,225
What was it like
being the gnome?
558
00:30:53,227 --> 00:30:55,477
It was real dark in there.
559
00:30:55,479 --> 00:30:58,647
Oh, yeah.
You couldn't see anything.
560
00:30:58,649 --> 00:31:01,900
I just loved it
that they thought
I was robert deniro.
561
00:31:03,529 --> 00:31:06,613
I didn't know
robert deniro could sing,
to tell you the truth.
562
00:31:06,615 --> 00:31:09,074
Well, we definitely know
you can sing.
563
00:31:09,076 --> 00:31:12,035
And, nicole, you are in tears.
564
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:14,872

I love you so much.

Like, I can't--
I can't believe you're here!
569
00:31:25,467 --> 00:31:29,011
I gotta-- I'm trying
to play it cool, but--
570
00:31:29,054 --> 00:31:31,430

You look so handsome.

I got into comedy.

577

They'll perform the same song,

00:34:08,589 --> 00:34:11,298
From that,
the panel will decide
622

- Yeah, maybe the most
evenly matched.
679
00:37:11,021 --> 00:37:12,062
- Yes.
- Absolutely.
680
00:37:12,105 --> 00:37:14,231
It's gonna be
so difficult yet again.
681
00:37:14,233 --> 00:37:15,523
And we're all
equally confused,
682
00:37:15,567 --> 00:37:17,984
'cause you guys

683

- Nicole: Yeah.
- Thank you!

Now, panel, it's all on you.

00:37:23,242 --> 00:37:26,451
Your vote determines
who will move on
686

And who will
get unmasked tonight.

Oh, man.

Nick: The pressure is on.
695

We'll be right back
with the results
696
00:37:52,062 --> 00:37:55,146
And another unmasking.
Stay right here.
697

♪ who is that?
698
00:38:04,533 --> 00:38:07,659
Let's get
to the final results.
699
00:38:07,703 --> 00:38:10,287
The champion of the night
700
00:38:10,330 --> 00:38:15,250
Advancing to next week is...
701
00:38:24,219 --> 00:38:27,262
- This is a really tough one.
- This is really tough.
702
00:38:34,646 --> 00:38:37,939
Medusa!
703
00:38:37,983 --> 00:38:39,274
( fanfare )
704
00:38:39,276 --> 00:38:41,693
Oh!
705
00:38:41,695 --> 00:38:44,279
- Whoo!
- So excited.
706
00:38:44,323 --> 00:38:46,072
Nick:
Congratulations.
707
00:38:46,116 --> 00:38:48,700
You are moving on
to abba night,
708
00:38:48,744 --> 00:38:54,247
And you're one step closer
to the golden mask trophy.
709
00:38:54,291 --> 00:38:58,460
Head on back and enjoy
this moment, medusa.
710
00:38:58,503 --> 00:39:00,670
Let's give it up
for medusa, y'all.
711
00:39:05,886 --> 00:39:11,389
And, mustang, we are so sorry
that your journey ends here.
712
00:39:11,391 --> 00:39:17,270
But we are so excited
to see your famous face.
713
00:39:17,314 --> 00:39:20,940
But, first, panel,
you've gotta make
your final guesses.
714
00:39:20,942 --> 00:39:24,694
- Jenny: Oh, no.
- Let's start with, uh, ken.
715
00:39:24,738 --> 00:39:27,822
First of all,
I just have to say,
this was incredibly tough.
716
00:39:27,866 --> 00:39:31,159
I think maybe the most
competitive season premiere
we've ever had.
717
00:39:31,203 --> 00:39:33,161
- For sure.
- Hear me out,
718
00:39:33,205 --> 00:39:35,330
"people's" most beautiful issue
719
00:39:35,374 --> 00:39:37,207
Sealed the deal on my guess.
720
00:39:37,250 --> 00:39:39,376
She said she defied death
721
00:39:39,419 --> 00:39:42,420
Because of all those
aerial performances she does.
722
00:39:42,464 --> 00:39:45,048
Mustang is p!Nk.
723
00:39:45,092 --> 00:39:49,719
( crowd jeering )
724
00:39:49,721 --> 00:39:51,346
Okay, you know what?
725
00:39:51,390 --> 00:39:54,391
Even mustang's like,
"what are you thinking?"
726
00:39:54,393 --> 00:39:57,394
- Nick: Jenny?
- You know, that hell on heels
727
00:39:57,437 --> 00:39:59,604
Made me think of, like,
a joan jett.
728
00:39:59,648 --> 00:40:02,524
- Oh, good--
- and there was a soap clue,
729
00:40:02,526 --> 00:40:05,110
And she's got that song,
"dirty deeds."
730
00:40:05,153 --> 00:40:08,613
So I'm gonna go with joan jett.
731
00:40:08,657 --> 00:40:10,156
Robin:
That's a good guess.
732
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,077
But, you know, I've been stuck
on this exercise equipment,
733
00:40:14,121 --> 00:40:16,204
And then I saw
the three eggs in the nest
734
00:40:16,206 --> 00:40:17,455
And I'm thinking
"three's company."
735
00:40:17,499 --> 00:40:22,293
- I'm gonna go with
suzanne somers.
- Okay.
736
00:40:22,337 --> 00:40:25,380
- And nicole.
- I'ma switch it up, nick.
737
00:40:25,465 --> 00:40:28,007
- Ken: Oh!
- I felt like in
that battle royale
738
00:40:28,009 --> 00:40:32,429
And that tone,
I felt like I heard just
a smidgeon of country.
739
00:40:32,472 --> 00:40:35,140
I know that this person has been
public about her struggles.
740
00:40:35,183 --> 00:40:37,475
I think this could be
wynonna judd.
741
00:40:37,519 --> 00:40:39,519
- Jenny: It's not bad.
- Nick: Okay.
742
00:40:39,521 --> 00:40:41,771
- Nicole:
It's something to chew on.
- Ken: Good guess, good guess.
743
00:40:41,815 --> 00:40:46,192
All right, panel,

are correct.
