- Jenny: Who is this? - Crowd: Take it off!
Nick: They've survived 14 unmaskings.
Gumball!
The goldfish!
And it all comes down to this.
It's the moment we've all been waiting for.
Tonight, we crown our season champion.
- Let's go! - Let's go!
We started out with 16 masks. Now only two remain.
- Please welcome goldfish. - Yes!
- Robin: Whoa! - And gumball.
Yeah!
It's time for the ultimate showdown.
This is "the masked singer" finale!
- That's the best entrance ever. - Ever!
Tonight, both will be unmasked, but only one will be awarded
The highly coveted golden mask trophy.
- Rita: Wow. - Ken: Wow.
- This is it, guys. - They made it.
- It don't get no bigger. - Nick: Audience...
- This is it. - ...Are you guys ready?
( cheering )
Up first, let's find out how gumball has rolled through the competition.
I'm in the finale? What?
This experience has been unreal.
And it's been wonderful to show what I am capable of musically.
♪ hope that you fall in love
♪ and it hurts so bad
But I've fought for it, surviving two smackdowns
- And two battle royales. - Crazy!
Wow, I didn't realize that.
The winner is gumball!
♪ I
In my life, I've had to fight to be seen.
Imagine trying to do something thousands of times
And only being successful a handful of them.
And yet in hollywood, that's considered a victory.
I've been on tv for almost two decades non-stop, and yet being here,
I feel like I've finally gotten to show who I really am.
- Two decades? - Who the heck is this person?
Tonight, I'm up for the biggest fight of my life against goldfish.
So I'm gonna pour my heart and my soul into these last two performances.
♪ I
Win or lose, this journey has changed everything.
And I don't want to stop doing this on the other side of this show
Because it brings me so much joy.
So thank you, "masked singer" for this experience.
I have truly felt like a kid in a candy store.

- That was awesome! - Jenny: That was so--
- Robin: That was awesome. - Are you for real?
- Jenny: Wow! Unbelievable! - Robin: Yeah.
- Seriously. - Gumball having a ball.
- Panel. - What?
What a way to open up this finale show, huh?
- Wow! - Gumball.
You know, it's very hard after seven or eight performances
To have new stuff to offer.
And you've already been a fan favorite the whole time, so bravo.
- Bravo! - Thank you all so much.
Well said. But y'all know what time it is.
- It's that time. - Oh, boy.
Tonight our panel will go through their journey
Of guesses throughout the season.
Panel, take us on a guessing journey for gumball.
- I'll start first. - Yes.
I first said jamie dornan because he had given rita a gumball
- From his costume during his first performance. - I still have it.
- And rita played his sister in "fifty shades of gray."
He did have a smaller head though, I have to say.
- Oh, yeah. Yeah, no. - Ken used to have a smaller head, too.
It got really big by season 11.
By season 11 because of sunlight and ego.
Now, the-- the nightlight clue
Actually made me think of snl's taran killam.
And I was thinking prom king sash,
He had played king george iii in "hamilton."
And the last time gumball performed,
He dedicated his performance to his wife and two kids.
And taran killam has a lovely wife and two kids.
- All right. Okay, ken. - Thank you!
- You're making it very hard to boo you. - I cleaned up well!
- I was gonna say, ken, I'm very proud of you. - No, you look great.
Season 11, was very respectful. He didn't get one boo.
- Ken: Thank you! - I will continue this journey.
I saw a race car, and, like, an "x" on it.
And I thought maybe this is somebody from x-men.
- Could it be james marsden? - Robin: Love him.
Then we saw some football clues and kind of actor clues
And I'm thinking, maybe "ted lasso."
- Right? Jason sudeikis. - Yeah.
- Definitely not. - Oh. Well, I still like it.
But we're on this journey. I'm on the journey with you.
- But then... - Are you?
- I am. - ...I heard a "don't cha" clue.
- Uh-oh. - And, you know, we love our nicole,
And so that made me think of nicole with, you know--
♪ don't cha think your girl--
- Yeah. - I can't sing like her.
No, that wasn't bad.
But who danced with nicole on "dancing with the stars?"
- Derek hough. - Oh!
- Jenny: Right? - Ken: Good guess.
I got to say, you know, I've been all over the place.
You know, I've been through kevin jonas, zachary levi,
James van der beek, but to be honest, the dance moves--
- Jenny: Yep. - You know, that takes training.
Like, he's very advanced in his physical movement,
And so I'm thinking the same thing as you, and I'm gonna steal your guess.
I agree with you. I think this is derek hough.
I love it! I love that you're agreeing.
- Rita: Could you imagine? - What do you think, rita?
So I wanna tell you guys about my first experience with gumball.
- Go, girl. - I first met him and he told me he was a superhero.
He also said he's southern, and I thought, oh, wait.
Isn't chase crawford southern?
And then from them on, I thought, okay, well, who could be fun
And be that instrumental, and then I even went down jack black route.
And I was like, okay, that's not gonna happen.
Then I thought last time's football clue
Gave me taylor kitsch from "Friday night lights."
But then he's not married with kids, so I thought, "scrap that."
This is kind of my last chance, so I'm just gonna keep
Throwing names at you, and hopefully one will stick.
What about joseph gordon-levitt?
- Ken: Oh, great guess. - Wow.
Jenny: But I still think...
♪ don't cha wish your guess
- ♪ was hot like ours? - Like hough.
Thank you all. Thank you all so much.
- Amazing job, gumball. Y'all keep it going for him. - We love you, gumball!
Nick: Gumball has been blowing our panels' minds all season,
But are any of their guesses right?
We'll find out tonight.
Robin: I have no idea who the gumball is.
- No idea. - Right?
I have no clue. Like, really.
It's driving nuts and kept me up at night.
I was laying there in bed going, "who is gumball?"
♪ who is that?
Welcome back to "the masked singer" season finale.
Let's go!
Up next, let's hear what making the finale means to goldfish.
Goldfish: I have loved being able to swim into new territories
As the golden girl on this stage!
- Ken: Yeah! - Jenny: Whoa!
As a little girl, I was never really great at expressing myself.
It's not really something I grew up around.
But lately I have been on a journey of self-discovery.
And being here, I've been able to express myself so freely.
- She's definitely gotten more confident each week. - Yeah.
I come from a working-class family
That has no connection to hollywood whatsoever.
So there's no reason I should have made it.
But I'm proof that with enough love, hard work,
And dedication, you can truly do anything.
♪ you can't love anyone
♪ 'cause that would mean you had a heart ♪
And I'm so proud of my performances,
And I can't wait till I have kids, when that time comes,
So I can be like, "look at mommy go."
( laughing )
- Wow. - Oh, that's lovely.
Now I got to say, I know I'm up against some steep competition,
But winning this would be the ultimate pat on the back.
It would really honestly mean so much.
It makes me emotional because I've always thought of myself as an actor first.
Singing kind of does come second.
Doing "the masked singer" is my way of giving everyone a music moment.
And the response has made me want it to never end.
- So nice. - And her journey.
- Yes! - Whoo!
♪ looked like love and it was a gas ♪
♪ it soon turned out I had a heart of glass ♪
- ♪ seemed like the real thing, only to find ♪ - whoo!
♪ mucho mistrust, love's gone behind ♪
- Whoa. - It's getting hot in here!
♪ in between, what I find is pleasing ♪
♪ and I'm feeling fine

Yeah! Ow!
Yes, queen!
Wow. Vocals on vocals on vocals.
Wow, goldfish, week after week, you have delivered, queen.
- Absolutely. - You deserve every second of this.
And you have swam your way to the finals as you should.
- Well done. - Thank you.
All right, guys, well, time to do your jobs.
- Ugh. - Really?
Who wants to go first?
You know, I feel like the first time I met you,
And I saw you and I heard your voice,
It was so theatrical and very experienced.
So I thought, okay, lea michele from "glee."
And then the next clue package, I got a vampire clue.
And I was like, okay, "vampire diaries."
Of course, this must be nina dobrev.
But after the emotional story on queen night,
This has to be my friend vanessa hudgens.
Jenny: I like it. All right, here we go.
- I know exactly who this is-- - whoa.
- I don't really-- - whoa, that's my catchphrase.
Jenny: I have a good feeling though.
Okay, we first saw a glass slipper,
And I thought of the movie "another cinderella story."
This actress/musician named, uh, selena gomez.
Rita: Yes! Whoa.
Then I went to sarah hyland,
Because we had those vampire clues.
"vampire academy" on netflix. Hello?
- Hello. - But then goldfish said she loves to perform live.
And right here on fox, she played sandy on "grease live!"
- Julianne hough. - All right.
You know, I said derek hough earlier for gumball.
Why wouldn't there be the first brother and sister competition on this show?
- Wow. - That's a good guess.
- That's a lot of hough. - It's a lot of hough.
They "hough-ing" it up.
You know, we've been on this from the clues
That she's been a-- she was a young star.
There's been disney clues, and the one name that keeps coming back to my mind,
I think this is hilary duff.
- Jenny: I like it. - Yeah!
- What are you feeling, ken? - Does ken have to go? Do we have to hear it?
You got your big boy suit on, so do good.
Yes, I have my big boy suit on, robin.
- I'd like a table for six. - Okay, you know what?
Where are you from? Cirque du so lame? Now...
- Cirque du so lame. - This is serious, robin.
Rita: Okay, okay.
First saw the glass slipper and I thought of a performer
Who played cinderella on broadway, carly rae jepsen.
Then I saw the vampire in the clue
And then I thought of bella swan herself,
- Kristen stewart. - Ooh, yeah.
Then my journey came to a close.
I don't have the ear that rita and robin do,
And I'm not as smart as jenny,
But I know love and I know voices.
This is my sweet, sweet nicole scherzinger.
- Oh, my gosh. - Not a bad guess, ken. It's not a bad guess.
- I think it could be. - Do you think it's nicole?
It could be all the people that you've said.
Well, that doesn't help, nick, so thank you.
I'm just a host. You guys are the detectives.
But one thing we do know,
- Goldfish did her thing. - Rita: Yeah!
Our panel is still fishing for their goldfish final guess.
But whoever she is, we'll find out tonight.
Men in black, see if you can catch this fish.
♪ who is that?
- Yes! - ♪ who is that?
What?
Welcome back to "the masked singer" season finale!
- Yeah! - Yeah!
Season 11!
We're halfway through the night and it's crunch time.
Goldfish and gumball have one last chance to make an impression
With a final performance.
That means there's only one thing we need to make this a real finale.
- Rita. - Yes?
Now you remember the blue button right there on the desk, right?
- How could one forget? - Ooh, it's blue.
And right now, I want you to hit it.
- Really? - Yes. Yes.
All right. Ready?
( doorbell ringing repeatedly )
♪ I love that sound
- Nick: All right, rita, you hit the button. - Yeah.
- That means there's a prime delivery on the way. - ( doorbell rings )
- When can I go? When can I go? - You heard the doorbell.
- When can I go? Now? Yes! - Now! Go.
- What is it? - Always been my favorite thing to do.
Hello. Aah! Guys.

- Okay, guys, are you ready? - ( cheering )
- I'm so ready! - Jenny: I am so excited.

Well, it's only what everyone's come here for.
- Jenny: What is that? - Oh, it's heavy!
- Oh! - Oh, my god! Yes!
- It's the most important delivery of this season. - Oh, my god, I love it!
The golden mask trophy.
And this is what our two finalists are competing for tonight.
I thought for sure it was gonna be a booster seat for ken, but no such luck.
We're in the final stretch, y'all.

- These are your final moments... - Wow.
...Before your identity is revealed.
- Wow. - Is there anything that you want to say to the panel,
Your friends, and your family?
Tonight that performance was really about my folks.
I told you that they had been in a rock band,
But they never were able to pay the bills through their artistry.
So they worked hard, 40, 60, 80 hours a week,
Just to get to the weekend so they could do what they love
- And perform on stage. - Wow.
And I realize now why it was so special to them.
Because I know tomorrow I go back to my day job.
This has been the time of my life,
And I'm so thankful and honored to have been on this stage.
- Thank you. - Oh, my god. I fell in love with you even more, gumball.
That was awesome. Gumball right there with an amazing performance.

- It's time. - Oh, man! I don't know!
Nick: Jenny, what do you think?
You know, there was an earth clue.
"world of dance," he was a judge on with j. Lo.
All those signs are pointing to derek hough.
- Nick: All right, robin. - I think the broadway clues,
On tv for 20 years, the dance moves, I'm with you, girl.
- Yeah. - I think this might be derek hough.
- Rita: Wow. - Ken: All right.
I'm thinking football clue
For his nfl comedy show on amazon prime.
- This is taran killam. - Wow.
Nick: Okay.
I mean, listen, gumball talked about his family,
And my last-minute guess is a devoted family man.
And he worked with channing tatum in "g.I. Joe."
I think this is joseph gordon-levitt.
I like that guess. I like that guess.
- Okay, panel? - Yes.
- Yeah. - You guys have been doing great all season.
- Thanks, nick. - Yes.
Let's see if any of you are correct.

But, you know, I'm so glad I did.
Oh, gumball.
Robin: You sang, you danced,
You made the crowd scream your name.
And everything that you missed, you know, in those early days,
This is what you get when you commit yourself
To bringing joy to people the way you did.
So thank you. Thank you.
Yeah, and I got to say,
This man does it all.
- He does. - And he coaches my son's baseball team!
- What? - No!
Golden. He's the first baseman. He's pretty good, right?
- He's an athlete. - He is, yeah.
- Wow. - I play first base coach, and on a Saturday,
I'm sitting there during the game and I see him sitting,
- And I was like, "oh." - that's crazy.
And I stood next to him this whole time, so--
- That's crazy. - Wow.
During the show we've been running into each other.
- Crazy. - But he does the chant
That we say for our team at the end of every game.
We got three rules.
Work hard, have fun, and be kind.
And I got to say, I put everything I had into this.
It's because of my family, my wife.
- Yes. - My kids at home.

But before we find out goldfish's true identity,
Let's take one last guess at it.
Panel, you know what time it is.
I need your final guesses.
I think rita is jumping out of her seat. You go, girl.
Okay, the princess clues are for the movie "princess switch."
The vampire clue. She played one in the movie "freaks of nature."
This is, please, vanessa hudgens.
- V-hudge! - That would be amazing.
- The audience is feeling it. - Okay, that's good.
- Um... - Man: Go on, ken!
Goldfish,
I'm convinced goldfish
- Is nicole scherzinger. - Ken!
Wow, ken.
All right, so like robin kind of stole my derek hough guess,
- I'm gonna do a little stealing myself. - I stole that thing.
It's mine now.
Because we have been dying to have her on our show every season.
- We have. - We've guessed her every season.
She became a huge success with "high school musical."
I, too, agree with you
- That this is vanessa hudgens. - You can have it. Yeah!
Robin: It's the hudge!
- Could it be the hudge? - Could it be?
You know, glass slipper for the movie "a cinderella story."
The mouse clue because she was in disney's "lizzie mcguire."
I think you're all wrong. I think that's hilary duff.
Ooh, god, I love when you're determined like that.
Well, panel, you've made your final guesses.
- Yes. - Let's see if any of you are right.
Goldfish, we need to know, who are you?
Oh, my gosh. It's happening.
- Audience, say it with me. - Let's go!
- All: Take it off! - Let's go!
Take it off!
♪ who, who, who, who?
Take it off!
♪ who are you?
- Oh, my gosh! - Robin: Come on, hilary!
- ( chanting continues ) take it off! Take it off! - ♪ I really wanna know
- Come on! - ♪ oh, I really wanna know
Come on, jenny! We got this.
♪ tell me who are you, you, you ♪
- Oh, my god! - ♪ are you?
- Superstar actress... - Oh, my god! Aah!
- Oh, my god! Oh, my god! - ...Singer, broadway sensation.
- Oh, my god! - Vanessa hudgens!
- She's in the building! - Aah!
- We did it! - Good job!
- Congratulations. - Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- Yeah! - Nick: You are so amazing.
What has it been like being on
And now winning "the masked singer?"
Oh, my god!
It's honestly the most incredible thing ever.
- I've just been so excited to take my mask off... - Whoa!
...And stare into rita's eyes and be like,
"girl, this is why I couldn't hang out with you.
- I know! - Because I can't lie.
And I was like, "what's going on with vanessa?"
Like, she always texts me back.
But now it's 'cause you were here!
- I was here! - Ken: Yes!
- Yes! - Yes!
And you know what? You absolutely killed it, sis.
- Thank you. Thank you. - You killed it so hard.
Now did you ever think being a goldfish would be so life-changing?
I really did not. I was like, "oh, she cute."
But I never knew that it would give me the freedom
To purely just do something that I love.
And it's been so long since I've been able to do that.
It makes me so emotional,
Because I really do love it so much.
And, like, I don't know,
It just-- it fills my soul truly.
You probably have so many friends and family watching at home.
Is there anything that you would like to say?
Mom, I love you.
Thank you so much for always pushing me
And taking me to my dance classes and my voice lessons.
I finally won, like, for my singing.
- Yeah! - Aww!
- Aww, that's so sweet. - So sweet.
And I just got to ask you one last question.
I mean, you see my man scott over there.
- Aww, scott! - The battle between the two of you,
And you guys worked together?
What's the connection?
We did a movie together called "bandslam."
And I lost to her in the movie.
And now just life just repeating itself.
- So it's just, you know-- - but it was--
- Life imitating art. - But wait, can I ask
When did you figure out it was him?
Or did you not know at all?
I had no idea and it was killing me!
I could never do what you guys do
- Because I was lost! - Right?
I was just complaining backstage.
We couldn't figure him out either.
Truly shocked the world. And both of you were amazing.
Probably our best finale ever,
- I would have to say. - Ken: I think so. This is our best.
- This is our best finale ever. - For sure!
And now here to sing unmasked once and for all,
Give it up for our winner,
The artist formerly known as the goldfish,
- The season 11 champion... - Whoo!
