00:00:04,543 --> 00:00:09,987
Nick: This is a story
of a world like no other...
2
00:00:10,989 --> 00:00:13,193
where celebrities
are transformed...
3
00:00:13,260 --> 00:00:16,600
(vocalizing)
4
00:00:17,636 --> 00:00:20,173
Now, this world is changing
5
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:23,179
in ways
you'll never see coming.
6
00:00:23,246 --> 00:00:26,419
Surprises around ever corner,
7
00:00:26,486 --> 00:00:31,362
all to make you guess
who's behind the mask.
8
00:00:32,398 --> 00:00:35,470
But no one is safe.
9
00:00:37,207 --> 00:00:39,478
‐ (laughing)
‐ Aah!
10
00:00:39,546 --> 00:00:41,449
Because we're
introducing characters
11
00:00:41,517 --> 00:00:44,322
so talented and so secret,
12
00:00:44,388 --> 00:00:46,594
I can't even
show them to you.
13
00:00:46,660 --> 00:00:50,100
Meet the Wildcards.
14
00:00:50,167 --> 00:00:52,606
And look over here.
15
00:00:52,672 --> 00:00:55,210
A mask not here to sing,
16
00:00:55,277 --> 00:00:58,316
but to disrupt
the game completely.
17
00:00:58,383 --> 00:01:00,454

‐ Tonight, a world bigger...

Now, let's say hi
to the most glam detectives
in all of TV.

Niecy: All right, you guys,
here's how the game works.
65
00:03:17,695 --> 00:03:20,601
We've got famous people
wearing crazy costumes.
66
00:03:20,668 --> 00:03:23,574
They sing,
we sniff out the clues,
67
00:03:23,641 --> 00:03:28,149
then the panel and our
many fans across America vote
68
00:03:28,216 --> 00:03:32,257
and the singer
with the lowest tally is
forced to take it off.
69
00:03:32,324 --> 00:03:34,696
‐ Take it‐‐
‐ Nicole, but not
in a nasty way.
70
00:03:34,763 --> 00:03:38,436
‐ This is a family show.
‐ I got excited.

00:03:39,506 --> 00:03:45,250
Now, tonight the battle for
the Golden Mask trophy begins
72
00:03:45,317 --> 00:03:49,793
as we meet our mysterious
and talented Group A.
73
00:03:49,859 --> 00:03:51,663
Now let's kick things off.
74
00:03:51,730 --> 00:03:53,701
Arriving here overnight
75
00:03:53,767 --> 00:03:56,740
from an entirely
different continent,
76
00:03:56,807 --> 00:03:59,646
please say hello
to the Russian Doll.
77
00:03:59,713 --> 00:04:03,754

‐ I'm excited.
79
00:04:05,457 --> 00:04:09,733
Oh, my God! It's huge!
80
00:04:09,799 --> 00:04:14,174
‐ They're humungous!
‐ You could fit a dozen Kens.
81
00:04:14,241 --> 00:04:17,247
That is the greatest thing I've
ever seen on "Masked Singer."
82
00:04:17,314 --> 00:04:21,188
‐ Robin: Oh, my God.
‐ Beautiful!
83
00:04:21,255 --> 00:04:26,600
It's got rosy cheeks.
Okay. and it's a little wooden.
84
00:04:26,666 --> 00:04:31,810
‐ Wait, did you open
your mouth, Russian Doll?
‐ Oh, my gosh!
85
00:04:31,877 --> 00:04:36,620
Let's try to get to the center
of who's under the Russian Doll.
86
00:04:39,726 --> 00:04:43,399
Oh, oh. Hey, there.
Sorry, I wasn't expecting you.
87
00:04:43,466 --> 00:04:46,573
You see,
I've been doing my own thing
for quite some time.
88
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,875
Rewind to the beginning
89
00:04:47,942 --> 00:04:50,614
when I was the world's
hottest toy.
90
00:04:50,681 --> 00:04:52,718
Mm, those were the days.
91
00:04:52,785 --> 00:04:54,421
But I knew
I was more than just
92
00:04:54,488 --> 00:04:56,425
something to be toyed with,
a puppet.
93
00:04:56,492 --> 00:04:58,262
Ooh, she was
controlled by somebody.
94
00:04:58,329 --> 00:05:00,601
And as much as they tried
to put me in a box,
95
00:05:00,668 --> 00:05:01,937
I just didn't fit.
96
00:05:03,106 --> 00:05:05,811
Newer, shinier, manufactured
toys filled the shelves,
97
00:05:05,878 --> 00:05:07,615
so I was cast to the side.
98
00:05:07,682 --> 00:05:10,086
‐ A boat wheel.
‐ Like a helm of a boat.
99
00:05:10,153 --> 00:05:13,426
And it was
the best thing ever.
100
00:05:13,493 --> 00:05:15,531
Turns out,
I could still sell out
101
00:05:15,598 --> 00:05:17,635
without being a total sell‐out.
102
00:05:17,702 --> 00:05:21,342
And I'm ready to show
there's even more
beneath the surface.
103
00:05:21,408 --> 00:05:24,849
You guys, this is our first
performance for season five!
104
00:05:24,916 --> 00:05:26,586

but so magical.

for the first
impression guesses.

so I will prevail.

Don't look at anybody
else's paper.

So, drop your Russian Doll
first impression guesses
153
00:08:12,618 --> 00:08:15,256
into the Masked Singer tour bus,
154
00:08:15,323 --> 00:08:18,295
and then we'll reveal them
right before each unmasking.
155
00:08:18,362 --> 00:08:22,571
Whichever one of you
gets the most correct
over the season
156
00:08:22,638 --> 00:08:25,644
could win
the Golden Ear trophy!
157
00:08:25,711 --> 00:08:28,082
We're inside the car.
Oh, my God!
158
00:08:28,148 --> 00:08:32,825
‐ Nicole, your boobs are huge.

the objects, all right?

(horn honking)
160
00:08:38,035 --> 00:08:39,605
The car is attacking Nicole.

‐ Niecy: Yes, all right.
162
00:08:42,912 --> 00:08:45,851
Time's up.
Drop them in the tour bus, baby.
163
00:08:45,918 --> 00:08:47,453
All right, Russian Doll,
164
00:08:47,521 --> 00:08:51,896
which one of y'all is
the one who makes the decisions?
165
00:08:51,963 --> 00:08:54,669
Our ideas work
very well together.
166
00:08:54,735 --> 00:08:56,940
You see what
our dynamic is now.
167
00:08:57,006 --> 00:08:59,812
‐ Did she say dynamic?
What our dynamic is now?
‐ Yeah.
168
00:08:59,879 --> 00:09:02,383
Robin: Maybe it's a band
that's reuniting.
169
00:09:02,450 --> 00:09:04,120
I don't know what's‐‐
it's confusing me.
170
00:09:04,187 --> 00:09:06,425
What I'm seeing isn't matching
what I'm hearing.
171
00:09:06,491 --> 00:09:08,763
‐ Nicole: Yeah.
‐ But I'll narrow it down
a little bit.
172
00:09:08,830 --> 00:09:11,669
Bench, it said country.
Members of a country group.
173
00:09:11,736 --> 00:09:14,775
‐ Yeah.
‐ Like Lady A. Hillary Scott
and Charles Kelley.
174
00:09:14,842 --> 00:09:16,512
‐ Thank you.
‐ Yeah.
175
00:09:16,579 --> 00:09:18,315
And then Garden State Highway.
176
00:09:18,382 --> 00:09:21,021
I heard someone say New Jersey,
but it also goes into Philly.
177
00:09:21,088 --> 00:09:24,629
This could be a Philly group
like a Boyz II Men.
178
00:09:24,695 --> 00:09:27,735
‐ Nicole: Maybe.
‐ Boyz II Dolls.
179
00:09:27,801 --> 00:09:30,272
But honestly,
Jenny has a good point
because if you look
180
00:09:30,339 --> 00:09:33,412
‐ at the size and structure
of large doll...
‐ Thank you.
181
00:09:33,479 --> 00:09:34,548
...there could be
multiple people in it.
182
00:09:35,416 --> 00:09:36,786
Someone could be
sitting in a backpack
183
00:09:36,853 --> 00:09:38,322
or a baby bjorn
on their partner.
184
00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:39,992
Now you're talking.
I carry Ken in one of those.
185
00:09:40,059 --> 00:09:41,328
All right, all right.
186
00:09:42,430 --> 00:09:44,134
Let's not talk about
our personal lives, all right?
187
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,375
Okay, so I think
that this could be
a singing cast.
188
00:09:48,442 --> 00:09:50,580
‐ I'm with you.
‐ Maybe it's my girl
Vanessa Hudgens
189
00:09:50,647 --> 00:09:52,050
from "High School Musical"
190
00:09:52,116 --> 00:09:54,622
or Darren Criss in "Glee,"
or even‐‐
191
00:09:54,689 --> 00:10:00,066
‐ "Glee!"
‐ Right? Why? Breadsticks.
Oh, I'm sorry.
192
00:10:00,132 --> 00:10:02,070
What's the restaurant's name
in "Glee"?
193
00:10:02,136 --> 00:10:03,840
Breadsticks.
Everyone knows that.
194
00:10:03,907 --> 00:10:07,581
‐ Yeah, it was.
‐ I think it could be
Matthew Morrison
195
00:10:07,648 --> 00:10:09,819
‐ or Kevin McHale. Right?
196
00:10:09,885 --> 00:10:14,528
‐ That's not bad.
‐ Ken: What's a amazing
about this visual spectacle
197
00:10:14,595 --> 00:10:17,166
‐ is that the performance
was outstanding.
‐ That's right.
198
00:10:17,233 --> 00:10:20,005
So this has gotta be
a professional recording artist.
199
00:10:20,072 --> 00:10:22,477
Maybe this is Gwen Stefani.
It could be.
200
00:10:22,544 --> 00:10:25,584
‐ No.
‐ And this could be
her guitarist Tom Dumont.
201
00:10:25,650 --> 00:10:27,955
Tom doesn't really
sound like that when he sings.
202
00:10:28,021 --> 00:10:29,224
Tom sounds exactly like that.
203
00:10:29,290 --> 00:10:31,729
And, little known fact,
look it up,
204
00:10:31,796 --> 00:10:36,438
they started out at a place
with bottomless breadsticks.
205
00:10:36,506 --> 00:10:40,212
So, I think this whole
Russian Doll thing is bananas.
206
00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:42,918
‐ B‐A‐N‐A‐N‐A‐S.
‐ Oh, my God.
207
00:10:42,985 --> 00:10:45,122
‐ No Doubt.
‐ I'm gonna tell you something.
208
00:10:45,189 --> 00:10:46,826
‐ That he's bananas.
‐ I'ma tell you something, Ken.
209
00:10:46,893 --> 00:10:49,497
‐ Yeah, mama.
‐ When you started
unpacking this...
210
00:10:49,565 --> 00:10:52,303
‐ Yeah, yeah.
‐ I got tears in
the corners of my eyes.
211
00:10:52,370 --> 00:10:56,478
‐ Thank you so much.
‐ I was that proud mother who
was gonna stand up and say,
212
00:10:56,546 --> 00:10:57,748
"Look at my baby!"
213
00:10:59,017 --> 00:11:01,321
But then the way you finished,
all the wheels fall off of it,
214
00:11:01,388 --> 00:11:03,192
and I said,
well, no, I'm not gonna clap.
215
00:11:03,258 --> 00:11:05,429
So, yeah, take it back down.
216
00:11:05,496 --> 00:11:08,803
Thank you so much for
that beautiful performance.
217
00:11:08,870 --> 00:11:11,441

a game‐changing costume.

I have a feeling
that this person is throwing
their voice a little bit.

00:15:03,071 --> 00:15:06,077
‐ A little bit.
‐ They're adding a little extra

‐ Disguising their voice.

299
00:15:44,220 --> 00:15:47,861
All right, Snail,
how are you feeling
about all of this?
300
00:15:47,927 --> 00:15:52,369
Oh, well,
I'm here because I want
the world to see that
301
00:15:52,436 --> 00:15:55,843
even a snail can go anywhere
if they put their mind to it
302

waiting a long, long time.
303
00:16:00,419 --> 00:16:02,924
We're used to it.
We got Ken right here.
304
00:16:02,991 --> 00:16:04,326
‐ Oh, yeah.
‐ Yeah.
305
00:16:05,563 --> 00:16:07,399
That makes me think that he's
a little bit older possibly.
306
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:11,575
‐ It's possible.
‐ I'm really going off
of this host, director,
307
00:16:11,642 --> 00:16:12,811
writer, producer.
308
00:16:12,877 --> 00:16:14,948
I was getting a Jay Leno vibe
from the voice.
309
00:16:15,015 --> 00:16:16,885
‐ Huh.
‐ Did you get any of that?
310
00:16:16,952 --> 00:16:19,323
But then I started thinking
who else can do it all
311
00:16:19,390 --> 00:16:20,993
and is a great singer
312
00:16:21,060 --> 00:16:22,362
and is probably throwing
their voice.
313
00:16:22,429 --> 00:16:23,999
There was the bear for Ted.
314
00:16:24,066 --> 00:16:27,807
There was the UFO for his show
on Fox called "Orville."
315
00:16:27,874 --> 00:16:29,878
I think it could be
Seth MacFarlane.
316
00:16:29,945 --> 00:16:33,184
‐ Nicole: Oh.
‐ Ken: Seth is a good singer,
317
00:16:33,251 --> 00:16:35,288
but I actually agree
with Jay Leno
318
00:16:35,355 --> 00:16:37,994
because Jay Leno
plays himself in "Ted 2."
319
00:16:38,061 --> 00:16:40,232
‐ That's right.
‐ But he would be a car
for a costume.
320
00:16:40,298 --> 00:16:42,436
I think that that's a swerve.
'Cause he'd normally be like,
321
00:16:42,504 --> 00:16:44,508
(imitating Jay Leno)
Yeah, you're right, Jenny,
I would drive a car,
322
00:16:44,574 --> 00:16:46,745
but now I'm gonna be a snail.
323
00:16:46,812 --> 00:16:48,816
Is that really how
you think he would say that?
324
00:16:48,883 --> 00:16:52,422
I workshopped that Jay Leno
voice for nine months and‐‐
325
00:16:52,489 --> 00:16:55,362
To give Ken a little more time
to practice that voice,
326
00:16:55,428 --> 00:16:57,432
I'm gonna come to you, Nicole.
327
00:16:57,499 --> 00:17:00,873
Okay, so, there was also
something about the Oscars.
328
00:17:00,940 --> 00:17:04,380
I know he hosted the Oscars.
Jimmy Kimmel.
329
00:17:04,446 --> 00:17:07,587
‐ Jimmy Kimmel was in "Ted 2."
‐ Jenny: Wait, wait, wait.
330
00:17:07,654 --> 00:17:11,060
Why wouldn't anybody think
this is Mark Wahlberg?
He was the star of "Ted."
331
00:17:11,127 --> 00:17:13,264
Or it could be Adam Sandler.
332
00:17:13,331 --> 00:17:15,870
Why? There was an eagle‐‐
golf term.
333
00:17:15,937 --> 00:17:19,009
One of the best golf movies

00:19:41,460 --> 00:19:43,297
We might just learn something.
381
00:19:46,705 --> 00:19:48,976
Seashell: When I was young,
I was pulled by the tide
382
00:19:49,042 --> 00:19:51,581
all around the world
with my family.
383
00:19:51,648 --> 00:19:54,119
Always adrift,
I never felt grounded.
384
00:19:54,186 --> 00:19:57,125
So I found my peace
by the shore.
385
00:19:57,192 --> 00:20:00,198
A chameleon.
So she's had a ton of
different roles maybe.
386
00:20:00,265 --> 00:20:01,768
When my career took off,
387
00:20:01,835 --> 00:20:04,908
it was like a massive
tsunami of success.
388
00:20:05,709 --> 00:20:07,546
But much like my childhood,
389
00:20:07,613 --> 00:20:10,586
I still drifted,
wearing many hats.
390
00:20:10,653 --> 00:20:14,594
I often wonder if I found
my true calling.
391
00:20:14,661 --> 00:20:16,564
That's part of why I'm here.
392
00:20:16,631 --> 00:20:19,436
A witch's broom.
Someone who was in "Wicked"?
393
00:20:19,504 --> 00:20:20,639
I'm nervous.
394
00:20:21,574 --> 00:20:22,710
I haven't sang
in a really long time,
395
00:20:22,777 --> 00:20:25,816

‐ Beautiful!
‐ Nicole: I loved it.
423
00:22:20,444 --> 00:22:22,783
You know, you seemed a little
nervous at first,
424
00:22:22,850 --> 00:22:25,622
but once you got started,
you were in a groove...
425
00:22:25,689 --> 00:22:27,660
‐ Exactly.
‐ ...and you killed it.

428
00:22:33,705 --> 00:22:36,210
‐ Oh, man.
‐ So, panel, write down
429
00:22:36,276 --> 00:22:38,882
who you think
this beautiful Seashell is.
430
00:22:38,949 --> 00:22:42,623

Jenny, you're so cute.

You got the moves, Seashell.
432
00:22:46,496 --> 00:22:48,668
Thank you. Appreciate it.
433

Thank you so much.
435

All right,
I wanted to ask you,
beautiful Seashell,
436
00:22:57,953 --> 00:23:00,024
what brought you
hear tonight?
437
00:23:00,091 --> 00:23:04,700
Well, I've always wanted
to sing on stage.
438
00:23:04,767 --> 00:23:09,910
I used to
way back in the day,
439
00:23:09,977 --> 00:23:14,920
and I kind of stopped
to pursue other careers.
440
00:23:14,987 --> 00:23:17,726
‐ Mm. Mm.
‐ Jenny: Huh.
441
00:23:17,793 --> 00:23:19,630
‐ This is helping my guess.
‐ Nicole: Okay.
442
00:23:19,697 --> 00:23:21,601
You know, I'm just
going by the clues.
443
00:23:21,668 --> 00:23:23,270
I saw witch's broom.
444
00:23:23,337 --> 00:23:26,678
I'm thinking this is an actress
who's also done some singing
445
00:23:26,744 --> 00:23:28,948
like Sarah Jessica Parker
from "Hocus Pocus"
446
00:23:29,015 --> 00:23:32,790
or Anne Hathaway
from the recent movie
"The Witches."
447
00:23:32,856 --> 00:23:36,430
But I'm landing on
Kristin Chenowith just 'cause
the voice is so good.
448
00:23:36,496 --> 00:23:38,233
‐ Jenny: Wow.
‐ Robin: Yep.
449
00:23:38,300 --> 00:23:39,737
‐ Ken: So, yeah?
‐ Ken, that's not bad.
450
00:23:40,839 --> 00:23:42,876
‐ Robin: Great guess.
‐ Thank you. I appreciate that!
451
00:23:42,943 --> 00:23:46,283
‐ My baby is over there
doing a good job.
‐ Thank you, Mommy.
452
00:23:46,350 --> 00:23:50,625
Using his head for more
than a hat rack. I love it.
453
00:23:50,692 --> 00:23:53,698
‐ Nicole?
‐ Okay, so I saw the cowboy hat
454
00:23:53,765 --> 00:23:55,267
and I thought is this
someone from Texas?
455
00:23:55,334 --> 00:23:57,573
Who are some amazing celebs
from Texas?
456
00:23:57,639 --> 00:24:01,714
We've got Dakota Johnson, right?
We've got Renée Zellweger.
457
00:24:01,781 --> 00:24:03,518
‐ But do you know
who I think it could be?
‐ Who?
458
00:24:03,585 --> 00:24:05,622
I think it could be Hilary Duff.
459
00:24:05,689 --> 00:24:07,158
‐ Oh!
‐ Break it down.
460
00:24:07,225 --> 00:24:08,895
I want to hear how you got
to the Duff of it all.
461
00:24:08,962 --> 00:24:11,768
Nicole: Okay, I'm sorry.
'Cause Hilary is from Texas.
462
00:24:11,834 --> 00:24:15,307
Also, we all know Hilary Duff
as Lizzie McGuire.
463
00:24:15,374 --> 00:24:16,878
There was a chameleon.
What's a chameleon?
464
00:24:16,944 --> 00:24:19,683
‐ A lizard.
‐ I like that.
465
00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:22,890
You said Texas
and it reminded me of
the Daisy Duke of it all.
466
00:24:22,956 --> 00:24:24,794
‐ Could it be, like,
a Jessica Simpson?
‐ Simpson.
467
00:24:24,860 --> 00:24:26,864
That's where I was
going to run towards, yeah.
468
00:24:26,931 --> 00:24:28,935
I was going to run fast
right there.
469
00:24:29,002 --> 00:24:31,941
‐ Jenny: You go.
‐ But then who was also
very successful young
470
00:24:32,008 --> 00:24:34,613
and can sing,
Jennifer Love Hewitt
isn't a bad choice.
471
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,918
‐ Yes. She's from Texas.
‐ Oh, my God, Robin.
472
00:24:36,984 --> 00:24:39,690
‐ That is an
amazing guess, Robin.
‐ Ken: Wow.
473
00:24:39,757 --> 00:24:41,259
‐ Give me that seashell, baby.
‐ Oh, my God.

I faced death.

‐ Oh.
‐ He's got some past.

00:26:32,516 --> 00:26:37,559
Desperate to stay sane,
I recited my favorite story,

"The Hunchback of Notre Dame."
511
00:26:39,596 --> 00:26:43,604
Magnifying glass. "Magnum P. I."
Maybe it's Tom Selleck.
512
00:26:43,671 --> 00:26:46,476
I was Quasimodo, locked away.

Only difference is
that he was innocent

00:26:49,616 --> 00:26:52,021
and I was actually a monster.
515
00:26:52,088 --> 00:26:55,995
I promised God that if
I got a second chance in life,

00:26:56,062 --> 00:26:57,632
I'd only do good,

566

I'm thinking this could
possibly be Gary Busey.
567
00:29:43,329 --> 00:29:47,104
You know, I wrote down him
as a possibility also.
568
00:29:47,171 --> 00:29:49,208
Possibly. There's a lot
of country western themes.
569
00:29:49,275 --> 00:29:54,251
He's from Texas.
It could also be Nick Nolte.
570
00:29:54,318 --> 00:29:56,857
‐ Jenny: True!
‐ Or Sammy Hagar.
571
00:29:56,924 --> 00:30:00,932
I mean, they're all part of
the same book club, you know?
572
00:30:00,998 --> 00:30:03,737
‐ This one is hard for me.
‐ I had high hopes
for you, girl.

‐ Talk to me, Kenneth.
‐ I know exactly who this is.
578
00:30:20,303 --> 00:30:23,243
‐ Come on, Ken!
‐ I think this is a fighter.
579
00:30:23,309 --> 00:30:27,151
I think this is someone who has
gone through a lot in life,
580
00:30:27,217 --> 00:30:31,392
paid his dues for it,
and came out on the other side.
581
00:30:31,459 --> 00:30:33,363
I'm gonna go
with Mike Tyson right now.
582
00:30:33,429 --> 00:30:34,966
‐ I'm going to go Mike Tyson.
‐ Mike Tyson?
583
00:30:35,033 --> 00:30:37,437
Jenny: How do you get
the cowboy hat to Mike Tyson?
584
00:30:37,505 --> 00:30:39,275
Ken:
I was hanging out with Mike
585
00:30:39,341 --> 00:30:42,147
on the "Hangover 2" set
in Thailand,
586
00:30:42,214 --> 00:30:43,483
and he said to me,
587
00:30:43,551 --> 00:30:45,153
"You know what
I really want to buy?"
588
00:30:45,220 --> 00:30:47,157
And I said, "What?"
"Chapeaus."
589
00:30:47,224 --> 00:30:48,359
He wanted to buy a hat.
590
00:30:49,295 --> 00:30:50,163
And I was like,
"What kind of chapeau?"
591
00:30:50,230 --> 00:30:51,299
"Cowboy chapeau."
592
00:30:51,365 --> 00:30:54,071
That's my Mike Tyson impression.
593
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,446
Yeah, when I saw
the clue package,
I was with Ken.
594
00:30:58,514 --> 00:31:00,450
I was thinking maybe Mr. T
or a fighter,
595
00:31:00,518 --> 00:31:03,256
but then I used my eyes
the rest of the time.
596
00:31:03,323 --> 00:31:05,360
Niecy: There we go.
597
00:31:05,427 --> 00:31:07,197
Robin:
But then I got into
this historic actor,
598
00:31:07,264 --> 00:31:08,199
been through a lot.
599
00:31:08,266 --> 00:31:10,605
Somebody like Joe Pesci.
600
00:31:10,671 --> 00:31:12,174
Ken: Ah, good guess.
601
00:31:12,241 --> 00:31:14,178
Robin:
You know what I mean?
That gritty voice.
602
00:31:14,245 --> 00:31:16,683
‐ Yeah.
‐ However, I'm gonna go
to another actor
603
00:31:16,750 --> 00:31:20,323
who also fits the body type
and is a legend.
604
00:31:20,390 --> 00:31:22,427
I think it might be
Danny DeVito.
605
00:31:22,494 --> 00:31:25,333
‐ Jenny: Oh, Danny DeVito!
‐ Oh, my God, that's brilliant.
606
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,807
But one thing
all of our guesses
have in common
607
00:31:28,874 --> 00:31:32,314
is that we agree
this is definitely
a huge superstar.
608
00:31:32,381 --> 00:31:34,886

Well, my kids and my grandkids
703

told me I was supposed

60 years old, and I really
appreciate the love.

‐ 60?
‐ It means a lot.

‐ I don't believe
a word you said.

‐ Exactly.
‐ Because you are not 60
with those moves.

00:36:48,613 --> 00:36:51,552
Listen, this is game‐changing
season five.
709
00:36:51,619 --> 00:36:54,592
‐ He could be lying big time.
‐ Okay, so?
710
00:36:54,659 --> 00:36:56,629
What are the clues
you're picking up on?

I really feel like this is

somebody who I auditioned for
back in the day
713
00:37:01,405 --> 00:37:03,475
to be their background dancer.
714
00:37:03,543 --> 00:37:06,481
‐ Niecy, did you ever date him?
‐ Huh?
715
00:37:06,549 --> 00:37:08,720
‐ Did you ever date him?
‐ Huh?

00:37:09,522 --> 00:37:11,358
Who did what?
717
00:37:13,563 --> 00:37:16,168
Okay, I think that this
is a triple threat,
718
00:37:16,234 --> 00:37:20,343
someone who can sing,
who can dance, who can act.
719
00:37:20,409 --> 00:37:22,948
It could be Idris Elba,
Donald Glover.
720
00:37:23,015 --> 00:37:25,019
I think it could be
Jamie Foxx.
721
00:37:25,086 --> 00:37:26,388
Oh, my God.
I was thinking that, too.
722
00:37:26,455 --> 00:37:28,593
‐ Oh, boy.
‐ Pay up, girl.
723
00:37:28,660 --> 00:37:31,131
You know what? I can afford it.
724
00:37:31,198 --> 00:37:34,672
‐ You gonna lose that money.
‐ Jamie can move like that.
Jamie can sing.
725
00:37:34,739 --> 00:37:38,178
‐ But Jamie ain't 60 years old.
‐ Nicole: He could be lying.
726
00:37:38,245 --> 00:37:41,519
‐ It's game‐changing.
He's changing it up.
‐ No, that's game‐lying.
727
00:37:41,586 --> 00:37:43,556
This is
the game‐changing season.
728
00:37:43,623 --> 00:37:45,092
Okay, hear me out.
729
00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:47,263
In the clue package,
the angel says one of the songs.
730
00:37:47,330 --> 00:37:49,334
It was a... ♪ Hello
731
00:37:49,401 --> 00:37:52,473
And the voice,
how silky smooth it is.
732
00:37:52,541 --> 00:37:56,516
‐ I thought of Lionel Richie.
‐ Nicole: That's pretty good.
733
00:37:56,582 --> 00:37:59,154
‐ Ken: Yeah.
‐ Robin: You know, I'm gonna
go in a different direction
734
00:37:59,220 --> 00:38:01,759
because number one,
this singer is from Washington.
735
00:38:01,826 --> 00:38:03,763
We saw George Washington
in the package.
736
00:38:03,830 --> 00:38:06,536
‐ Yeah.
‐ Very talented,
not 60 years old,
737
00:38:06,602 --> 00:38:08,640
so I'm hoping that
you're fibbing about that.
738
00:38:08,706 --> 00:38:12,346
And his name rhymes
with Robopine‐‐ Ginuwine.
739
00:38:12,413 --> 00:38:15,286
‐ Nicole: Hey!
‐ Ken: Oh, good guess.

we are going to see you

the semifinals, my friend.
742
00:38:20,630 --> 00:38:23,670
Another hand for Robopine!
743
00:38:23,736 --> 00:38:26,475
I think with Group A,
there's gotta be
744
00:38:26,542 --> 00:38:29,915
at least one huge name, right,
under the mask?
745
00:38:29,982 --> 00:38:31,418
Absolutely.
746
00:38:32,855 --> 00:38:36,529
Tonight's premiere
was over the top.
747
00:38:36,596 --> 00:38:38,065
We've had

it's time to choose your
favorite singer of the night.

the least amount of votes
752
00:38:51,859 --> 00:38:55,867

of the season.

right now is...
757
00:39:15,439 --> 00:39:20,115
The votes are in,
and the performer with
the least amount of votes,
758
00:39:20,182 --> 00:39:25,894
the first singer of season five
forced to unmask is...
759
00:39:25,961 --> 00:39:27,029
Nicole: Ooh.
760
00:39:30,402 --> 00:39:32,708
They just got here.

‐ No!
‐ Oh, no.
764
00:39:43,362 --> 00:39:44,364
Snail.
765
00:39:44,430 --> 00:39:46,836
The rest of you, congrats.
766
00:39:46,902 --> 00:39:49,708

I'll see you there.

768
00:39:53,348 --> 00:39:57,658
‐ Oh, Snail.
‐ Jenny: I'm so sorry, Snail.
769
00:39:57,724 --> 00:40:00,396
We are so sorry to see you go,
770
00:40:00,462 --> 00:40:02,400
but excited
to see who you are.
771
00:40:02,466 --> 00:40:03,803
‐ Yes!
‐ That's right.
772
00:40:03,870 --> 00:40:05,507
I am dying to see who this is.
773
00:40:05,573 --> 00:40:07,944
But first,
let's retrieve our panel's
774
00:40:08,011 --> 00:40:10,583
first impression guesses
from the vault.
775
00:40:10,650 --> 00:40:12,219
Oh, I forgot about‐‐
776
00:40:12,286 --> 00:40:15,994
Niecy: Men In Black,
bring 'em out, bring 'em out.
777
00:40:18,332 --> 00:40:22,239
Remember, panel,
if your first impression
guess is correct,
778
00:40:22,306 --> 00:40:24,645
you get a point towards winning
that Golden Ear trophy.
779
00:40:24,712 --> 00:40:28,519
‐ Oh, no.
‐ Jenny: Niecy, we got
rid of this part.
780
00:40:28,586 --> 00:40:29,621
‐ Yeah.
‐ Don't let them fool you.
781
00:40:29,688 --> 00:40:31,057
Season five, we got rid of it.
782
00:40:31,124 --> 00:40:32,728
‐ Ken: A different format.
‐ Mm‐mm, mm‐mm.
783
00:40:32,794 --> 00:40:36,401
‐ Okay, Robin.
‐ Yes. Hi.
784
00:40:36,468 --> 00:40:38,706
Your first impression guess
was Seth MacFarlane.
785
00:40:38,773 --> 00:40:42,012
‐ Are you sticking with that?
‐ I'm gonna hold tight on that
786
00:40:42,079 --> 00:40:45,754
because host, director,
writer, producer of albums,
787
00:40:45,820 --> 00:40:47,791
I think it's the mighty
Seth MacFarlane.
788
00:40:47,858 --> 00:40:50,028
‐ All righty.
‐ Good guess.
789
00:40:50,095 --> 00:40:53,335
Ken, your first impression guess
was Jay Leno.
790
00:40:53,402 --> 00:40:56,509
‐ Are you gonna hold there?
‐ Ken: You know what?
Yes, I will.
791
00:40:56,575 --> 00:40:57,811
I mean, the talk show theme.
792
00:40:57,878 --> 00:41:00,315
The bear for his cameo
in "Ted 2."
793
00:41:00,382 --> 00:41:01,952
‐ Yes.
‐ (imitating Leno)
Yeah, you know.
794
00:41:02,019 --> 00:41:04,758
You know what, Niecy?
I think it is Jay Leno.
795
00:41:05,927 --> 00:41:07,396
‐ Okay.
‐ Ken: Yeah.
796
00:41:07,463 --> 00:41:10,537
‐ Jenny, you guessed
Adam Carolla.
‐ Yes?
797
00:41:10,603 --> 00:41:14,010
‐ Are you sticking with that?
‐ That's not too embarrassing.
798
00:41:15,078 --> 00:41:16,949
I'm not gonna
stick with it, though.
799
00:41:17,016 --> 00:41:18,151
‐ I'm not.
‐ Oh.
800
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,493
Let me go just way out
in left field here.
801
00:41:22,561 --> 00:41:23,863
We had Sarah Palin
in season three,
802
00:41:23,930 --> 00:41:25,767
so I thought
maybe someone political.
803
00:41:25,834 --> 00:41:28,940
And then I went,
oh, there was an American
eagle with Dr. Drew.
804
00:41:29,006 --> 00:41:31,679
‐ Yeah.
‐ And there's a bear named Ted.
805
00:41:31,745 --> 00:41:33,950
Could it be Senator Ted Cruz?
806
00:41:35,854 --> 00:41:39,026
Okay, you are swinging
for the fences.
807
00:41:39,093 --> 00:41:42,634
Nicole, your first impression
was also Adam Carolla.
808
00:41:42,701 --> 00:41:44,805
Are you sticking with that?
809
00:41:44,872 --> 00:41:47,811
Guys, I'm gonna
switch it up here, okay?
810
00:41:47,878 --> 00:41:50,617
I'm thinking it could be
Billy Crystal.
811
00:41:50,683 --> 00:41:53,823
‐ Ken: Oh!
‐ That's a good guess.
Good guess.
812
00:41:53,890 --> 00:41:56,729
Someone who is also legendary,
iconic TV host,
813
00:41:56,795 --> 00:41:58,666
jack of all trades,
does everything,
814
00:41:58,733 --> 00:41:59,968
rubs shoulders with everybody.
815
00:42:00,035 --> 00:42:02,406
Robert De Niro, "Analyze This."
816
00:42:02,473 --> 00:42:06,549
So, I mean, if it could be
the one and only Billy Crystal,
817
00:42:06,615 --> 00:42:08,886
‐ that would be pretty awesome.
‐ That would be pretty amazing.
818
00:42:08,953 --> 00:42:10,657
That would be huge.
That'd be huge.
819
00:42:10,723 --> 00:42:12,827
Well, we're gonna find out.
820
00:42:12,894 --> 00:42:15,332
Okay, you have made your
final guesses,
821
00:42:15,399 --> 00:42:18,873
and let's see
