each creating
their masked character.

Then, our
award‐winning designer,

wildest fantasies.

Our stars then suited up
and hid their famous faces.
58
00:02:43,597 --> 00:02:46,027
They must be disguised

00:15:01,667 --> 00:15:04,537
Trust me, I know how to throw.
351
00:15:04,537 --> 00:15:06,807
NICK: Clue number two.
352
00:15:06,806 --> 00:15:09,106
‐Oh, my gosh, they're throwing.
‐Oh, he's a thrower.
353
00:15:09,108 --> 00:15:11,238
‐He's a quarterback.
NICK: Jenny was right.
354
00:15:11,244 --> 00:15:14,084
He played quarterback
for the Pittsburg Steelers,
355
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,950
and he gave
clue number three on stage.
356
00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:18,749
I love horses.
357
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:20,651
NICK: Well, Terry
and his family
358
00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:23,193
breed and raise
champion quarter horses.
359
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:25,429
It takes a lot of guts
to do this.
360
00:15:25,425 --> 00:15:28,525
I'm proud of myself.
I'm voted off, but you know,
361
00:15:28,528 --> 00:15:29,828
I wasn't the first.
362
00:15:29,829 --> 00:15:30,759
(laughs)
363
00:15:30,763 --> 00:15:33,873
(upbeat music)
364
00:15:33,866 --> 00:15:36,666
NICK: Our fourth singer
to unmask was Poodle,
365
00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:40,369
who turned out to be actress
and comedian Margaret Cho.
366
00:15:40,373 --> 00:15:41,943
‐Oh!
‐Margaret!
367
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:43,711
NICK: Now, let's unleash
the key clues
368
00:15:43,709 --> 00:15:45,749
that could have
helped you identify her.
369
00:15:45,745 --> 00:15:47,745
Clue one:
370
00:15:47,747 --> 00:15:49,977
‐San Francisco.
‐Yep, Bay Area.
371
00:15:49,982 --> 00:15:52,292
NICK: The panel spotted
the clues of her hometown
372
00:15:52,285 --> 00:15:54,185
of San Francisco.
373
00:15:54,187 --> 00:15:55,487
Clue two.
374
00:15:55,488 --> 00:15:56,988
POODLE: 415, stand up!
375
00:15:56,989 --> 00:15:59,929
NICK: 415 is San Francisco's
area code,
376
00:15:59,926 --> 00:16:03,226
and of course, Margaret is
known for stand‐up comedy.
377
00:16:03,229 --> 00:16:06,729
And clue three was the
rainbow flag in her package,
378
00:16:06,732 --> 00:16:09,872
a nod to her activism
for LGBTQ rights.
379
00:16:09,869 --> 00:16:11,839
So why the poodle mask?
380
00:16:11,838 --> 00:16:16,808
I am fluffy and pink,
but I'm still a bitch.
381
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:18,609
(barking)
382
00:16:18,611 --> 00:16:20,251
(upbeat music)
383
00:16:20,246 --> 00:16:23,276
NICK: Our fifth unmasked
singer was Unicorn.
384
00:16:23,282 --> 00:16:25,992
I haven't seen this type
of stellar performance
385
00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:28,445
from a horse
since the Kentucky Derby.
386
00:16:28,454 --> 00:16:29,564
(laughter)
387
00:16:29,555 --> 00:16:30,955
NICK: Who turned out to be
388
00:16:30,957 --> 00:16:33,057
actress and author
Tori Spelling.
389
00:16:33,059 --> 00:16:35,259
Now, let's spell out the clues
390
00:16:35,261 --> 00:16:36,501
that could have helped
you guess her.
391
00:16:36,496 --> 00:16:38,256
Clue one:
392
00:16:38,264 --> 00:16:40,734
UNICORN: I grew up in one of
the richest neighborhoods.
393
00:16:40,733 --> 00:16:42,673
Born in Beverly Hills.
394
00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:44,698
NICK: Jenny was right
about the sign,
395
00:16:44,704 --> 00:16:46,874
and it was also a nod
to her starring role
396
00:16:46,873 --> 00:16:49,283
in "Beverly Hills 90210."
397
00:16:49,275 --> 00:16:50,875
Clue two:
398
00:16:50,877 --> 00:16:53,307
Those five
baby unicorns represent
399
00:16:53,312 --> 00:16:56,152
Tori's five children.
And clue three...
400
00:16:56,148 --> 00:16:57,848
UNICORN: Throughout
this magical journey,
401
00:16:57,850 --> 00:17:00,390
I've been able to craft
a new identity.
402
00:17:00,386 --> 00:17:02,616
‐Crafts.
‐Okay, she's crafty.
403
00:17:02,622 --> 00:17:04,992
NICK: That's right;
crafting is her passion.
404
00:17:04,991 --> 00:17:07,831
She even hosted a TV show
called "Craft Wars."
405
00:17:07,827 --> 00:17:10,257
TORI: I actually
took that mask off
406
00:17:10,263 --> 00:17:14,233
more confident than I have in
the last 40‐something years.
407
00:17:14,233 --> 00:17:15,703
Whoo!
408
00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:17,741

and we'll finally reveal
the identities
415
00:17:28,848 --> 00:17:31,818
of Monster, Bee, and Peacock.
416
00:17:31,817 --> 00:17:33,447
I think we're
going to freak out.
417
00:17:33,452 --> 00:17:35,422
ANNOUNCER: "The Masked Singer"
season finale
418
00:17:35,421 --> 00:17:38,461

and the road to our big finale.
422
00:17:49,035 --> 00:17:50,695
So far, nine of our singers
423
00:17:50,703 --> 00:17:53,173
have had to take their
incredible mask off.
424
00:17:53,172 --> 00:17:56,512
Our final three
are coming off later tonight.
425
00:17:56,509 --> 00:17:58,949
And now, let's get
the inside info
426
00:17:58,945 --> 00:18:01,705

our famous finalists.

no matter how old I get,
and winning this
435
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:27,609
will prove that I can
still create a buzz.
436
00:18:27,607 --> 00:18:31,107
But when this began,
I was so, so nervous.
437
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:34,550
I wasn't sure what I was
getting myself into.
438
00:18:34,547 --> 00:18:37,377
I had to be led around
like I was blind.
439
00:18:37,383 --> 00:18:42,153
Before my first song, I just
said a prayer and went for it.

but never like this.
445
00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:57,668
The costume
restricts your movement.
446
00:18:57,670 --> 00:19:01,470

difficult to project my voice.

but it's such a thrill
to sing pop hits
456
00:19:33,072 --> 00:19:34,812

We just knew by her presence
461
00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:47,220
that we were in the presence
of a legend.
462
00:19:47,219 --> 00:19:49,589
I think Bee brings
a lot of clout to the show.
463
00:19:49,588 --> 00:19:51,158
I mean, her voice.
464
00:19:51,157 --> 00:19:53,787
NICK: Bee's legend status
was confirmed
465
00:19:53,793 --> 00:19:55,833
when Nicole asked her
the perfect question.
466
00:19:55,828 --> 00:19:58,898
What decade
did you start singing?
467
00:20:00,399 --> 00:20:01,769
(audience groaning)
468
00:20:01,767 --> 00:20:04,537
‐What'd she say?
‐Did you say '50s?
469
00:20:04,537 --> 00:20:06,837
Said the '50s.
Wow.
470
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:09,139
‐Wow, the '50s.
‐That's 70 years‐‐
471

that's 68 years ago.
472
00:20:10,509 --> 00:20:12,279
They could have
started singing at 15.
473
00:20:12,278 --> 00:20:13,848
So could have
been 15, 16, yeah.
474
00:20:13,846 --> 00:20:16,176
Okay, is Shirley Temple
still alive?
475
00:20:16,182 --> 00:20:18,652
NICK: As she flew through
the competition,
476
00:20:18,651 --> 00:20:20,221
Bee got more comfortable.
477
00:20:20,219 --> 00:20:22,819
BEE: The costume team
opened up the mouth hole
478
00:20:22,822 --> 00:20:24,822
to make it easier to sing.
479
00:20:24,824 --> 00:20:28,164
I started to adjust
and get into my groove.

By far, my favorite
Bee performance
483
00:20:36,635 --> 00:20:38,265

ROBIN: I thought that she
really elevated the song
487
00:20:48,614 --> 00:20:52,054
to a raw, personal vocal
out of the pop realm
488
00:20:52,051 --> 00:20:54,991
and gave it a soul and a
real meaning that she believes,
489
00:20:54,987 --> 00:20:57,717

as a wrecking ball.

RAVEN: So don't cry, baby.
This one's for you.
609

She starred in "Cry‐Baby,"
the John Waters cult classic.
610

She became the Raven
for a very special reason.

It's death, but rebirth.

kind of significant to me.

I went through the loss

singer/songwriter

that could have
identified her?

ALIEN: I'm excited to be here

Clue two: Remember
all those snakes?

La Toya had two pet snakes,
and famously posed with one.
635

And clue three was
the Indiana police badge

she revealed onstage.
I'll let her explain.
637
00:27:22,841 --> 00:27:24,741
I did a show called
"Armed & Famous,"
638

and we had to be sworn in,
and get our badges

Yeah, that's
a true badge, yes.

cool and interesting way

LION: Some might say
I'm Hollywood royalty.

Clue two: Did you notice
that newspaper headline?
669
00:28:27,372 --> 00:28:28,872
It's because our golden lion
670
00:28:28,874 --> 00:28:32,014
hails from the city
of Hailey, Idaho.
671
00:28:32,010 --> 00:28:34,110
Clue three

LION: I'll separate
from the pack,
673

So why the lion?

00:28:43,855 --> 00:28:45,985
I'm a Leo, and I have a big
lion tattoo on my shoulder.
677

But when I was a kid,
my favorite movie

being insecure,

00:29:25,397 --> 00:29:28,267
The clues were right there
in front of you.
697

Clue number one:
698
00:29:29,968 --> 00:29:32,468
We saw visual hints
to where he grew up.
699
00:29:32,471 --> 00:29:36,171
Brooklyn, New York,
right next to Coney Island.
700
00:29:36,174 --> 00:29:39,514
Clue two: He gave away
specific references
701
00:29:39,511 --> 00:29:41,411
to his boy band, NSYNC.
702
00:29:41,413 --> 00:29:44,483

is gonna to be me.
704
00:29:46,051 --> 00:29:48,251
NICK: "It's Gonna Be Me"
was the number one hit
705
00:29:48,253 --> 00:29:50,663
on their
"No Strings Attached" album
706
00:29:50,656 --> 00:29:52,516
Years after,
they released the song
707
00:29:52,524 --> 00:29:54,294
"Tearing Up My Heart."
708
00:29:54,293 --> 00:29:55,793

709
00:29:55,794 --> 00:29:57,404
RABBIT: Every week,
I get to cook up
710
00:29:57,396 --> 00:29:58,896

711

NICK: Joey hosted a food show
712
00:30:00,866 --> 00:30:03,936
and opened up a hot dog
restaurant called Fat One's.
713
00:30:03,935 --> 00:30:05,235
It felt fun being anonymous.
714
00:30:05,237 --> 00:30:06,907
Uh, but it was
always interesting,
715
00:30:06,905 --> 00:30:08,765
because not many people
get to hear my voice
716
00:30:08,774 --> 00:30:10,784

It was a blast.

870
00:36:45,837 --> 00:36:50,107
I want to transform you to such
an exciting and happy place
871
00:36:50,108 --> 00:36:54,578
that when I win,
you're going to be excited.
872
00:36:54,579 --> 00:36:56,509
NICK: But the big
question remains.
873
00:36:56,514 --> 00:36:58,284
Who is the Peacock?
874
00:36:58,283 --> 00:37:01,223
Let's hear from the panel
who they think he might be.
875
00:37:01,219 --> 00:37:02,949
Well, we've been
getting magician.
876
00:37:02,954 --> 00:37:05,324
We like Criss Angel, maybe,
or David Copperfield.
877
00:37:05,323 --> 00:37:06,663
Oh, that's a good one.
878
00:37:06,658 --> 00:37:08,388
I was going to say
David Hasselhoff.
879
00:37:08,393 --> 00:37:11,503
‐Wait a minute, Wayne Brady.
‐You think this is Wayne Brady?
880
00:37:11,496 --> 00:37:13,256
‐Maybe Shaun Cassidy.
‐That's a good guess.
881
00:37:13,264 --> 00:37:15,704
Okay, I'm just going to say it
could be Neil Patrick Harris.
882
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:18,200
Okay, child prodigies.
Donnie Osmond.
883
00:37:18,203 --> 00:37:20,843
Uh, I'm starting to think
Tom Jones, at this point.
884
00:37:20,839 --> 00:37:23,879
Just take off
your peacock mask!

NICK: Do you think
any of them are right?
886
00:37:25,643 --> 00:37:28,153
Have you been following
his bread crumbs?
887
00:37:28,146 --> 00:37:31,146
We've seen a bunch
of Las Vegas clues,
888
00:37:31,149 --> 00:37:35,489
and as Nicole can tell you,
there were many nods to magic.
889
00:37:35,487 --> 00:37:38,857
I have been part
of a magic act.
890
00:37:38,857 --> 00:37:41,357
NICK: He was a bull fighter
with a rainbow cape.
891
00:37:41,359 --> 00:37:45,429
We saw him holding a dog,
and the queen of England.
892
00:37:45,430 --> 00:37:46,900
And then, there was
that creepy wig.
893
00:37:46,898 --> 00:37:48,328
A wig?
894
00:37:48,333 --> 00:37:52,743
Because of this wig,
I was thrown in jail.
895
00:37:52,737 --> 00:37:54,407
Okay, this show
just got weirder.
896
00:37:54,405 --> 00:37:56,935
NICK: It's clear his career
began as a teenager,
897
00:37:56,941 --> 00:37:59,281

in the spotlight ever since.

Coming right up, we'll reveal
the secret identities
906
00:38:17,896 --> 00:38:20,196
of our final three
masked singers.
907

But first, something we all
908

about each of them.
909
00:38:23,635 --> 00:38:26,335

(dramatic music)
911
00:38:29,340 --> 00:38:31,480
Listen up, my peacock flock.
912
00:38:31,476 --> 00:38:34,106
You could say I strut
like an Egyptian,
913
00:38:34,112 --> 00:38:37,852
because I had a starring role
next to a pharaoh,
914
00:38:37,849 --> 00:38:40,689
and another
alongside pyramids.
915
00:38:40,685 --> 00:38:42,985
Now, Bee may have her hive,
916
00:38:42,987 --> 00:38:45,987
but a beehive
symbolizes where I'm from.
917
00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:50,200

as a, well, peacock.

did I train for this show?
