Chameleon:
People think I'm too cool
for "the masked singer."
117
00:06:26,178 --> 00:06:27,886
I originally signed up
for this for my kid
118
00:06:27,930 --> 00:06:30,639
because it's
one of our favorite shows
to watch together.
119
00:06:30,641 --> 00:06:33,600

to be one of the coolest

It's fun representing
hip-hop on the show
130
00:06:58,293 --> 00:07:00,043
because it educates the kids
and not just,
131
00:07:00,045 --> 00:07:02,754
"oh, my mom
keeps trying to tell me about
how good this song was."
132

Oh, my gosh, nick.
As soon as the song started,
181
00:09:39,621 --> 00:09:43,832
I nunchucked ken over and
had to get a front row seat.
182

- I know.
- "get out of the way, ken."
183
00:09:47,838 --> 00:09:52,340
and I had to push him over
because I had to be right here
just watching you.
184
00:09:52,384 --> 00:09:55,594
You are a megastar, my friend.
Absolutely.
185
00:09:55,596 --> 00:09:59,848
And it's just an honor
to have you on our stage.

Nick: All right,
chameleon, you may be
the coolest character
187
00:10:03,645 --> 00:10:04,769
we've ever
had on this show.
188
00:10:05,022 --> 00:10:08,106
- Yes.
- What would it mean to you
to win it all?
189
00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:11,151
It would mean
everything to me.
190
00:10:11,153 --> 00:10:13,278
Of course,
I do this for my son
191
00:10:13,322 --> 00:10:16,906
and my family, and all
the hip-hop heads out there,
192
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:19,784
so it would mean a lot.
193
00:10:19,828 --> 00:10:21,620

194
00:10:21,622 --> 00:10:24,623
Robin:
Man, since day one, you've
been killing it on stage.
195
00:10:24,625 --> 00:10:28,251
- Totally.
- Thank you so much for blessing
us with a hip-hop season.
196
00:10:28,295 --> 00:10:31,296

That was outstanding.

- Nick: All right, panel,

00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:36,718
we'll get to the guessing
a little bit later on tonight.
199
00:10:36,762 --> 00:10:41,097
But for now,
give it up one more time
for the amazing chameleon.
200
00:10:41,141 --> 00:10:46,728
Go ahead and head backstage
and do what chameleons do.
201
00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:49,356

all season long
for chameleon.
203
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,110
Will any of these stars
be revealed tonight?
204
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:56,738
We'll find out before
the end of the show.

a panel favorite,

black swan has captivated us
all season long.

Black swan:
I honestly did not come in
thinking about winning,
216
00:11:43,078 --> 00:11:45,286
partly because of
my stage fright,
217
00:11:45,330 --> 00:11:47,080
which might be surprising
because I was known
218
00:11:47,082 --> 00:11:50,083
around the world before
I got my driver's license.
219
00:11:50,127 --> 00:11:54,796
I just came in
thinking about getting these
chips off my shoulder,

so seriously,
221

I had to cancel my tour in 2020,

and I got scared
at some point.

"okay, I'm facing it again.

- Yeah.

It was before social media,

and trust me,
without the filters.
299
00:16:56,599 --> 00:16:58,558
The criticism was so much,
I had to become

a pretty private person
after that.
301
00:17:01,271 --> 00:17:04,355
But being the piglet was
a freedom to just have fun,
302
00:17:04,399 --> 00:17:07,734

- oh, my gosh.
- Piglet!
342
00:19:38,761 --> 00:19:41,429
- Wow, that was epic.
- So good.
343
00:19:41,472 --> 00:19:46,017
- Oh, man.
- Wow. We can see that
the piglet is emotional.
344
00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:49,187
He's got everybody else
feeling the feels up there.
345
00:19:49,230 --> 00:19:52,565
Yeah, man, that-- whoa.
346
00:19:52,609 --> 00:19:56,068
I try not to get emotional
watching, but that-- ooh.
347
00:19:56,070 --> 00:19:58,196
You peaked at
the right time, piglet.
348
00:19:58,198 --> 00:20:00,740
That's the strongest performance
I've seen you do.
349
00:20:00,742 --> 00:20:03,117
That was amazing.
I don't know what else--
I'm speechless.
350
00:20:03,161 --> 00:20:07,788
You know, I think that
they saved the best for last.
351
00:20:07,832 --> 00:20:11,542
I could absolutely
see you taking home
the golden mask, piglet.
352
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:16,964
All right, now, piglet,
what has this journey
truly meant to you?
353
00:20:17,008 --> 00:20:21,636
What this show has done for me
is once again reminded me
how much I love music...
354
00:20:21,638 --> 00:20:25,765
- Yeah.
- ...And how much we all
need music right now.
355
00:20:25,767 --> 00:20:28,017
- Amen.
- It's something that
can lift our spirits.
356
00:20:28,061 --> 00:20:30,311
And I've just been honored
to be a part
357
00:20:30,313 --> 00:20:32,688
of such an incredible journey
as this one.
358
00:20:32,732 --> 00:20:36,067
- Preach, piglet, preach.
- Nick: So well said.
359
00:20:36,110 --> 00:20:39,737
I love it. He's our piglet
pastor up there.
360
00:20:39,781 --> 00:20:44,951
- Hallelujah.
- Seriously, piglet, you've
moved us this entire season.
361
00:20:44,994 --> 00:20:46,160
- Yeah.
- You fully embraced
the character
362
00:20:46,195 --> 00:20:48,079
and you've really
kept us guessing.
363
00:20:48,122 --> 00:20:51,499
We honestly
can't wait to meet you.
364
00:20:51,542 --> 00:20:53,876
Nick: All right,
let's keep it going
for the piglet.
365
00:20:53,878 --> 00:20:57,797
The panel has been all over
the farm with their guesses.
366
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,008
Is one of these handsome
faces under the piglet mask?
367
00:21:01,052 --> 00:21:03,177
We'll find out tonight.
368
00:21:07,141 --> 00:21:09,600
Three finalists
stand before you.
369
00:21:09,602 --> 00:21:14,563
Each has delivered
one phenomenal performance
after another all season long.
370
00:21:16,943 --> 00:21:19,193
Panel and our many fans at home,
371
00:21:19,237 --> 00:21:21,988
vote now for your favorite.
372
00:21:23,241 --> 00:21:26,284
The performer
with the most votes
373
00:21:26,327 --> 00:21:29,704
will win
the golden mask trophy.
374
00:21:30,957 --> 00:21:34,041
The final votes are in.
375
00:21:34,085 --> 00:21:35,960
The third place finisher
376
00:21:35,962 --> 00:21:39,130
of season five's
"masked singer" is...
377
00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:53,269
The third place
finisher of season five's
"masked singer" is...
378
00:21:57,859 --> 00:21:59,191
Yeah, it's nerve-wracking.
379
00:22:08,077 --> 00:22:11,454
- The chameleon?
- Oh, no!
380
00:22:11,497 --> 00:22:15,499
Keep it going for the chameleon.
He did his thing.
381
00:22:15,501 --> 00:22:17,251
Congrats on taking home
the bronze medal.
382
00:22:17,295 --> 00:22:20,755
- Oh, man.
- Give some love to my man
the chameleon.
383
00:22:20,798 --> 00:22:21,839
Don't go anywhere.
384
00:22:21,883 --> 00:22:23,924
Black swan and the piglet,
385
00:22:23,968 --> 00:22:25,259
we'll see you back here
in a few minutes.
386
00:22:25,345 --> 00:22:28,220
One of you guys is winning
the golden mask trophy.
387
00:22:28,264 --> 00:22:30,431
But ladies and gentlemen,
how about the chameleon?
388
00:22:30,433 --> 00:22:32,016
- Whoo!
- Whoa!
389
00:22:32,060 --> 00:22:34,935
We have been waiting
all season long to see
your famous face.
390
00:22:34,979 --> 00:22:37,938
But first,
we must retrieve the panel's
391
00:22:37,982 --> 00:22:39,982
first impression guesses
from the vault.
392
00:22:40,026 --> 00:22:42,234
- No!
- Oh, no.
393
00:22:42,278 --> 00:22:47,365
Nick: Men in black,
bring 'em out, bring 'em out.
394
00:22:47,367 --> 00:22:50,743
Feels like it's
an eternity since y'all
wrote these down, right?
395
00:22:50,745 --> 00:22:53,204
- No idea who I put down.
- I don't remember either.
396
00:22:53,247 --> 00:22:57,166
The scores are so close.
397
00:22:57,210 --> 00:22:59,794
It's anyone's game
except nicole's.
398
00:22:59,837 --> 00:23:01,629
Thank you.
399
00:23:01,631 --> 00:23:06,050
Now, jenny,
your first impression guess
was a interesting one.
400
00:23:06,094 --> 00:23:07,960
- Here we go.
- Oh, no.
401
00:23:07,970 --> 00:23:11,055
Denzel washington.
402
00:23:11,099 --> 00:23:12,306
Nicole: Wow.
403
00:23:14,977 --> 00:23:16,143
Wowie, wow, wow.
404
00:23:16,178 --> 00:23:19,105
Nick: How in the world?
405
00:23:19,148 --> 00:23:21,565
Well, he had a very
sexy voice.
406
00:23:21,609 --> 00:23:22,733
- Ken: There you go.
- Robin: All right.
407
00:23:23,069 --> 00:23:25,319
Thank you. And denzel has
a very sexy voice, so, duh.
408
00:23:25,363 --> 00:23:27,655
Ken: There you go.
There you go.
409
00:23:27,698 --> 00:23:30,783
Okay. Are you sticking with
that for your final guess?
410
00:23:30,827 --> 00:23:33,119
No, I'm not.
411
00:23:33,162 --> 00:23:36,205
You know, I really enjoy
my last minute guess
that I've come up with.
412
00:23:36,249 --> 00:23:38,791
- Ah!
- We haven't said his name yet.
413
00:23:38,793 --> 00:23:41,252
- Gucci mane.
- Oh.
414
00:23:41,295 --> 00:23:43,045
Jenny:
He's talented, he's tall.
415
00:23:43,089 --> 00:23:45,965
Also, we saw clues
about him moving around a lot.
416
00:23:46,008 --> 00:23:47,216
- Mm-hmm.
- And guess what.
417
00:23:47,218 --> 00:23:49,760
- Ooh!
- Gucci mane was
a military brat.
418
00:23:49,804 --> 00:23:53,222
- Oh.
- All right.
From denzel to gucci.
419
00:23:53,266 --> 00:23:55,182
- Robin?
- Yes, sir?
420
00:23:55,226 --> 00:23:58,394
Your first impression guess
for the chameleon was redfoo.
421
00:23:58,438 --> 00:24:00,896
Redfoo, right. Well, you know,
when I first saw the outfit,
422
00:24:00,898 --> 00:24:02,857
that's something that redfoo
would wear on stage
without a mask.
423
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:06,652
Nicole: You're right.
Yes, you're right.
424
00:24:06,696 --> 00:24:09,822
But there's something about
the voice and the song choices
425
00:24:09,866 --> 00:24:11,866
and the way you've been able
to do every single song
426
00:24:11,868 --> 00:24:15,953
with such swagger,
and you've never lost
your swag ever.
427
00:24:15,997 --> 00:24:19,623
I think it is superstar
mr. Wiz khalifa.
428
00:24:19,667 --> 00:24:22,543
- Black and yellow.
Mr. Black and yellow.
- Nicole: Black and yellow.
429
00:24:22,545 --> 00:24:23,794
Black and yellow. Hey.
430
00:24:23,838 --> 00:24:27,965
- All right.
- Oh, no.
431
00:24:27,967 --> 00:24:30,009
Nicole's first impression guess
432
00:24:30,052 --> 00:24:33,095
for the chameleon
was nick cannon.
433
00:24:38,102 --> 00:24:40,936
This could be some amazing
cgi right here.
434
00:24:40,980 --> 00:24:44,231
It's an out-of-body experience
right there.
435
00:24:44,233 --> 00:24:46,942
Obviously
it's not nick cannon, guys.
436
00:24:46,986 --> 00:24:49,028
- Oh! So close.
- What?
437
00:24:49,071 --> 00:24:51,864
Nicole: But I've been
all over the place.
438
00:24:51,908 --> 00:24:53,949
There was
too many snoop clues.
439
00:24:53,993 --> 00:24:56,118
You know,
he keeps it elevated.
440
00:24:56,162 --> 00:24:57,953
There was brownies,
there was a plane.
441
00:24:57,955 --> 00:24:59,455
We know snoop is.
442
00:24:59,499 --> 00:25:01,999
But now putting
all the clues together,
443
00:25:02,043 --> 00:25:04,919
I'm with robin thicke
over there.
444
00:25:04,962 --> 00:25:06,086
I'm with thicke thug
over there, y'all.
445
00:25:06,130 --> 00:25:08,088
- Thicke thug.
- Thicke thug.
446
00:25:08,090 --> 00:25:09,757
Thicke thug?
That doesn't make any sense.
447
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,051
I'm gonna make it make sense.
448
00:25:12,094 --> 00:25:15,346
I think robin nailed it.
I think it's wiz for sure.
449
00:25:15,389 --> 00:25:16,847
Robin: Could be, could be.
450
00:25:16,891 --> 00:25:20,351
Okay, ken,
your first impression guess--
451
00:25:20,353 --> 00:25:23,145
- dwight howard.
- Ken: What?
452
00:25:23,189 --> 00:25:25,898
- Yeah.
- Not too bad.
453
00:25:25,942 --> 00:25:27,858
Ken: I was torn
throughout this season.
454
00:25:27,902 --> 00:25:29,652
Rapper, basketball player--
455
00:25:29,695 --> 00:25:33,155
but I'm thinking
2 chainz quite frankly
is both, you know?
456
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:35,824
He played basketball
at alabama state.
457
00:25:35,868 --> 00:25:38,077
Sorry, young thug. Sorry, fam.
458
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:43,082
- But the chameleon is 2 chainz.
- All right, all right.
459
00:25:43,084 --> 00:25:46,043
- 2 chainz! 2 chainz!
- All right, now,
460
00:25:46,087 --> 00:25:49,755
our season four champion,
the lovely leann rimes.
461
00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:51,840
Who do you believe
the chameleon is?
462
00:25:51,884 --> 00:25:55,344
- It's not denzel washington.
- Yeah, I didn't think it was.
463
00:25:55,346 --> 00:25:58,597
But, um, I think I'm gonna go
with ken on this one.
464
00:25:58,641 --> 00:26:02,726
I-- because of the height
and because of his talent,
465
00:26:02,770 --> 00:26:06,063
and there was also--
there was a cheese plate clue
for the song "blue cheese."
466
00:26:06,065 --> 00:26:07,898
- robin: Oh, yeah.
- Go off, sis.
467
00:26:07,942 --> 00:26:10,734
So I'm thinking maybe
this is 2 chainz.
468
00:26:10,778 --> 00:26:12,861
- All right.
- 2 chainz!
469
00:26:12,905 --> 00:26:14,321
- Good guess, good guess.
- Nick: Some great guesses.
470
00:26:16,033 --> 00:26:18,325
Okay, panel, you've made
your final guesses.
471
00:26:18,327 --> 00:26:20,995
Let's see if
any of you are right.
472
00:26:21,038 --> 00:26:24,790
Chameleon, we need to know,
who are you?
473
00:26:24,834 --> 00:26:26,250
Audience, say it with me.
474
00:26:26,294 --> 00:26:29,628
( chanting )
take it off! Take it off!
475
00:26:29,672 --> 00:26:32,923
- ♪ who, who, who, who

476
00:26:32,967 --> 00:26:35,551

477
00:26:35,595 --> 00:26:37,720

483
00:26:49,650 --> 00:26:52,359
Multi-platinum megastar,

the one and only wiz khalifa!
485
00:26:57,450 --> 00:26:59,241
( screaming )
486
00:27:00,786 --> 00:27:01,952
he got it.
487
00:27:01,996 --> 00:27:03,412
My guy!
488
00:27:08,377 --> 00:27:13,088
Actor, songwriter,
ten-time grammy-nominated.
489
00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:15,549
Hey! Get it!
490
00:27:15,593 --> 00:27:20,179
Businessman,
the one and only--
and amazing father.
491
00:27:22,058 --> 00:27:24,725
Wiz, man, it's such an honor
to have you on this show.
492
00:27:24,727 --> 00:27:29,021
And you said
you did this show
for your son bash, man.
493
00:27:29,065 --> 00:27:30,648
Is he surprised?
Does he know? Like, what's up?
494
00:27:30,691 --> 00:27:33,817
He's probably going to be
a little freaked out
495
00:27:33,861 --> 00:27:35,903
when he sees the chameleon.
496
00:27:35,946 --> 00:27:37,321
But, yeah, it was for him.
497
00:27:37,365 --> 00:27:38,739
I'm a fun dad,
you know what I mean?
498
00:27:38,783 --> 00:27:41,283
I love to enjoy myself.
I love to be myself.
499
00:27:41,327 --> 00:27:42,826
- Right.
- And as much as I can
500
00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:45,996
encourage him to be himself
and get into his imagination
501
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,957
and sing, dance,
and be as crazy as possible,
502
00:27:49,001 --> 00:27:51,126
I'll be the best example
for that then.
503
00:27:51,170 --> 00:27:52,711
- Aww.
- Nick: There it is, man.
504
00:27:52,713 --> 00:27:57,633
One of the biggest stars
to ever grace our
masked singer stage.
505
00:27:57,677 --> 00:28:01,136
I just gotta say, nick,
I know that so many people love
and respect you already,
506
00:28:01,138 --> 00:28:04,765
but I honestly think you've
won over the hearts of america
after being on our show.
507
00:28:04,767 --> 00:28:06,967
- Jenny: For sure.
- Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
508
00:28:06,977 --> 00:28:10,187
And you made tons of us want
to go to your afterparty,
I know that.
509
00:28:10,231 --> 00:28:16,026
Okay. Yo, thank you guys
for letting me be here.
510
00:28:16,070 --> 00:28:18,070
I had a great,
great, great time,
511
00:28:18,072 --> 00:28:20,030

again. Let's party, yo.
512
00:28:20,074 --> 00:28:23,117
- There it is.

Definitely one

558
00:30:55,271 --> 00:30:56,645
Panel,
there's no place to hide.
559
00:30:56,689 --> 00:30:58,897
We must retrieve
your first impression guesses.
560
00:30:58,899 --> 00:31:04,194
- No!
- Men in black, bring 'em
out from the vault.
561
00:31:05,781 --> 00:31:08,073
If your first impression guess
is correct, you get a point
562
00:31:08,117 --> 00:31:10,993
towards that
golden ear trophy.
563
00:31:13,330 --> 00:31:15,747
All right. Robin,
we're gonna start with you.
564
00:31:15,749 --> 00:31:18,750
- Please do.
- Robin, your first impression
guess was rita ora.
565
00:31:18,794 --> 00:31:21,545
- Rita ora. Not terrible.
- Are you sticking with it?
566
00:31:21,589 --> 00:31:24,381
I will not stick with that.
We've heard too much.
567
00:31:24,425 --> 00:31:27,843
We've seen too much.
We know too much.
568
00:31:27,928 --> 00:31:29,261
There were "x factor" clues.
569
00:31:29,305 --> 00:31:31,805
Number five clues
for fifth harmony.
570
00:31:31,807 --> 00:31:34,266
And the voice
and the body type
571
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:37,519
and the ability to do
all of that vocally,
572
00:31:37,563 --> 00:31:39,897
I think this is normani.
573
00:31:39,940 --> 00:31:42,274
- All right.
- Wow.
574
00:31:42,318 --> 00:31:43,984
- Nick: Jenny?
- Yes, sir?
575
00:31:44,028 --> 00:31:46,653
Your first impression guess
was leighton meester.
576
00:31:46,697 --> 00:31:49,823
- Oh, that's not bad.
- Not bad. You sticking with it?
577
00:31:49,867 --> 00:31:51,658
I'm not going to stick
with that, nick.
578
00:31:51,702 --> 00:31:53,160
I am going to go
with someone though
579
00:31:53,287 --> 00:31:56,788
I have been thinking of
later this season,
which is monica.
580
00:31:56,790 --> 00:32:00,167
We saw that clue,
"hello, my name is"
just the number one
581
00:32:00,210 --> 00:32:02,544
for just her name only--
monica.
582
00:32:02,588 --> 00:32:05,505
- She also has one grammy.
- Oh, okay.
583
00:32:05,507 --> 00:32:08,342
So I'm going to confidently
go with monica.
584
00:32:08,385 --> 00:32:10,218
Nice, nice.
585
00:32:10,262 --> 00:32:14,097
First impression
for ken jeong is jessie j.
586
00:32:14,141 --> 00:32:16,016
Ken: Oh, it could be,
587
00:32:16,060 --> 00:32:19,937
but I really think
the black swan is demi lovato
588
00:32:19,939 --> 00:32:22,230
because there was an "x"
in the clues.
589
00:32:22,232 --> 00:32:24,650
Demi was a judge
on "x factor."
590
00:32:24,693 --> 00:32:27,945
she was famous way before
she got her driver's license.
591
00:32:27,988 --> 00:32:30,280
- This is demi lovato.
- Okay.
592
00:32:30,324 --> 00:32:32,199
- That was good, ken.
- Not mad at you.
593
00:32:32,201 --> 00:32:36,703
Nicole, your
first impression guess was
natasha bedingfield.
594
00:32:36,747 --> 00:32:40,248
That's not bad.
I'm not sticking with it
'cause I know who this is.
595
00:32:40,292 --> 00:32:43,835
This girl also
has been famous way before
her driver's license
596
00:32:43,879 --> 00:32:46,338
with "two little too late."
597
00:32:46,382 --> 00:32:48,340
and also the cher clue,
that's because the first song
598
00:32:48,342 --> 00:32:50,133
she sang on tv
was a cher song.
599
00:32:50,177 --> 00:32:52,803
- Oh.
- It's my girl joanna. Jojo.
600
00:32:52,846 --> 00:32:56,932
- So confident, nicole.
- I feel it in my bones, nick.
601
00:32:56,976 --> 00:33:00,060
All right. Leann?
602
00:33:00,062 --> 00:33:02,270
I think my ears
don't lie at all,
603
00:33:02,314 --> 00:33:04,523
and I think nicole's ears
don't either,
604
00:33:04,566 --> 00:33:07,818
so I'm thinking that
this beautiful singer,
605
00:33:07,820 --> 00:33:10,237
- so talented, is jojo.
- Yay.
606
00:33:11,573 --> 00:33:15,742
Two for jojo. Okay, panel,
you've made your final guesses.
607
00:33:15,786 --> 00:33:17,077
Let's see
if any of you are right.
608
00:33:17,079 --> 00:33:20,747
Black swan,
we need to know,
who are you?
609
00:33:20,749 --> 00:33:22,207

621
00:33:56,326 --> 00:33:58,285
- Hi, nick. Hello!
- Hello!
622
00:33:58,328 --> 00:34:01,246
You know I'm, like,
the biggest fan of you ever.
623
00:34:01,290 --> 00:34:04,249
The vocal skills
are ridiculous,
624
00:34:04,293 --> 00:34:07,085
and you showed that on
this stage all season long.
625
00:34:07,087 --> 00:34:10,255
I have to ask you though,
626
00:34:10,299 --> 00:34:12,924
why bless us with your presence
on "the masked singer"?
627
00:34:12,968 --> 00:34:15,260
I really was missing
being on stage
628
00:34:15,304 --> 00:34:17,763
and I was, like,
developing this stage fright.
629
00:34:17,765 --> 00:34:20,766
I was like,
"can I even sing anymore?
Can I even perform?"
630
00:34:20,809 --> 00:34:25,020
I was just all in my head
and feeling way
too anxious about things,
631
00:34:25,064 --> 00:34:27,355
this freaked me out,
so I said yes to it.
632
00:34:27,399 --> 00:34:30,817
That's such a great
example for everybody.
Face your fears.
633
00:34:30,861 --> 00:34:34,905
I turned 30 in December
and I jumped out of a plane.
634
00:34:34,948 --> 00:34:37,324
Let's just kick down
the doors and just enter

00:35:37,261 --> 00:35:40,554
Just moments ago,
we found out that the piglet
651
00:35:40,597 --> 00:35:44,558
has joined past
golden mask winners t-pain,
wayne brady,
652
00:35:44,601 --> 00:35:47,561
kandi burruss,
and the great leann rimes.
653
00:35:47,604 --> 00:35:50,272
- Whoo!
- Before the piglet
is unmasked,
654
00:35:50,274 --> 00:35:52,190
let's first retrieve
the panel's
655
00:35:52,234 --> 00:35:55,277
first impression guesses
from the vault.
656
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,321
Men in black, bring 'em out.
657
00:36:01,368 --> 00:36:04,828
Um, nick, I'm just gonna touch
up for my special moment.
658
00:36:04,872 --> 00:36:07,164
- Oh, you just-- you got it.
- You can go to them first.
659
00:36:07,207 --> 00:36:09,291
I'm just gonna touch up
for my special moment.
660
00:36:09,334 --> 00:36:11,168
- Wait.
- Your dressing room
is under the table?
661
00:36:11,170 --> 00:36:12,878
- Where are you going, jenny?
- All right, whatever.
662
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,630
- She's proud of her
first guess on this one.
- I bet.
663
00:36:15,674 --> 00:36:18,675
It's been months since
you guys wrote these down.
664
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,553
Nicole, your first impression
guess was cody simpson.
665
00:36:21,597 --> 00:36:25,098
That's right.
Vocals were giving me
cody simpson vibes
666
00:36:25,142 --> 00:36:28,226
and I'm not sticking with it.
667
00:36:28,228 --> 00:36:31,938
All the clues
lead to backstreet boys.
668
00:36:31,982 --> 00:36:36,193
That's right.
There's lots of gold bars
for all their gold albums.
669
00:36:36,195 --> 00:36:39,196
Then we see the numbers
go from five to one.
670
00:36:39,198 --> 00:36:40,822
There's five dudes
in the backstreet boys,
671
00:36:40,866 --> 00:36:43,200
to one for
their iconic song "one."
672
00:36:43,243 --> 00:36:46,995
- ah.
- And look, he's number one.
It's brian littrell.
673
00:36:46,997 --> 00:36:49,831
All right.
674
00:36:49,875 --> 00:36:51,291
Good guess, good guess.
675
00:36:51,293 --> 00:36:54,085
Robin's first
impression guess--
john rzeznik.
676
00:36:54,087 --> 00:36:56,838
Yeah, that one didn't pan out.
677
00:36:56,882 --> 00:36:58,173
I got to hear
more of his voice,
678
00:36:58,175 --> 00:36:59,174
and then some
of the clues lined up.
679
00:36:59,468 --> 00:37:02,928
He used to be an athlete.
He played college ball.
680
00:37:02,930 --> 00:37:06,181
He's a proud father
and a family man.
681
00:37:06,225 --> 00:37:09,059
I think it's nick lachey.
682
00:37:09,102 --> 00:37:11,937
All right, ken.
Adam lambert.
683
00:37:11,980 --> 00:37:15,774
- Oh, okay.
- You sticking with it?
684
00:37:15,817 --> 00:37:19,986
You know, everyone's been
on the boy band guess, but I--
685
00:37:20,030 --> 00:37:21,363
just because of
the clue package,
686
00:37:21,365 --> 00:37:24,824
I really do think
that this is a movie star
687
00:37:24,826 --> 00:37:26,243
who is a power vocalist.
688
00:37:26,286 --> 00:37:28,078
And the more I think about it,
689
00:37:28,121 --> 00:37:30,622
jeremy renner is the only person
that fits the bill.
690
00:37:30,624 --> 00:37:32,791
If you look at
the clue package, the ufo--
691
00:37:32,793 --> 00:37:34,751
clue for his movie "arrival"
with amy adams.
692
00:37:34,795 --> 00:37:38,213
And also, they said that--
jeremy has a daughter.
693
00:37:38,215 --> 00:37:40,257
- Right.
- So, jeremy renner, yes.
694
00:37:40,300 --> 00:37:43,551
All right.
Adam lambert to jeremy renner.
695
00:37:43,595 --> 00:37:46,596
Has anybody seen jenny?
Is she back from
her dressing room?
696
00:37:46,598 --> 00:37:49,557
- I think she left.
- Yes, I'm right here.
697
00:37:49,559 --> 00:37:52,176
- Whoa!
- Oh, my gosh.
698
00:37:52,187 --> 00:37:55,730
- Ken: Oh, my god.
- I just needed a moment.
Thank you.
699
00:37:55,732 --> 00:37:58,817
- Your head got so big.
- Well, I don't know
if you guys remember,
700
00:37:58,860 --> 00:38:02,195
but last season
I won the golden ear.
701
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,448
So I figured
I'd touch up for my moment
702
00:38:05,492 --> 00:38:06,783
because if you have
two golden ears,
703
00:38:06,827 --> 00:38:09,286
you need a lot of hair
to match it.
704
00:38:10,789 --> 00:38:14,124
Well,
your first impression guess...
705
00:38:14,167 --> 00:38:15,792
- Yes?
- ...Was...
706
00:38:15,836 --> 00:38:18,169
- Uh-oh.
- Nick lachey.
707
00:38:18,213 --> 00:38:21,089
- Oh! Yes.
- You sticking with it?
708
00:38:21,091 --> 00:38:23,758
Jenny: You know what?
I did know right out of the gate
709
00:38:23,802 --> 00:38:25,844
because I've got the boy band
in my blood. I know.
710
00:38:25,887 --> 00:38:29,055
- She does get all
the boy banders right.
- I do, I do.
711
00:38:29,141 --> 00:38:31,099
What confirmed it
was the drew.
712
00:38:31,143 --> 00:38:33,184
- There were two drew clues.
- Yeah.
713
00:38:33,270 --> 00:38:35,061
And I was like,
"this is for sure, for sure."
714
00:38:35,063 --> 00:38:38,231
so I am definitely going
to stick with nick lachey.
715
00:38:38,275 --> 00:38:41,359
- Yes.
- All right.
716
00:38:41,361 --> 00:38:44,529
- That was good.
- All right, well, leann,
who is the piglet?
717
00:38:44,573 --> 00:38:47,032
I have to say,
there's something
about your voice.
718
00:38:47,075 --> 00:38:49,534
I actually heard
your speaking voice within
your singing voice.
719
00:38:49,619 --> 00:38:54,080
- Wow.
- Which for me instantly
went to nick lachey.
720
00:38:54,124 --> 00:38:56,082
Especially with
all the family man,
721
00:38:56,084 --> 00:38:57,709
all the clues
about him being a dad.
722
00:38:57,753 --> 00:38:59,919
- Oh, yeah.
- You totally won
my heart over.
723
00:38:59,963 --> 00:39:02,422
I'm so--
just so happy for you.
724
00:39:02,466 --> 00:39:04,341
- Yay.
- Great. Great guess.
725
00:39:04,343 --> 00:39:07,218
All right, panel, you've made
your final guesses.
726
00:39:07,262 --> 00:39:09,929
Who is behind the mask
of our champion?
727
00:39:09,973 --> 00:39:13,516
Piglet, we need to know,
who are you?
728
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,101
Audience, say it with me.
729
00:39:15,145 --> 00:39:16,853

742
00:39:58,647 --> 00:40:02,816
The winner
of "the masked singer"
season five!
743
00:40:02,859 --> 00:40:05,902
Congratulations.
You were amazing.
744
00:40:05,946 --> 00:40:08,363
- Ken: Yeah!
- Oh, he took it off.
745
00:40:08,407 --> 00:40:09,531
- Nick: There it is.
- Take it off!
746
00:40:09,574 --> 00:40:11,324
Nick:
I have to ask you,
my brother,
747
00:40:11,368 --> 00:40:13,952
- what brought you
to our stage?
- You know what?
748
00:40:13,954 --> 00:40:16,037
It's been--
I miss performing,
749
00:40:16,039 --> 00:40:17,330
and that's what this
experience has done for me
750
00:40:17,374 --> 00:40:19,582
is remind me
how much I love singing,
751
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:22,335
how much I love music,
and I've had the best time
752
00:40:22,379 --> 00:40:26,673
going on this incredibly
twisted, weird ride
753
00:40:26,716 --> 00:40:29,134
- that is "the masked singer."
- you killed it. Killed it.
754
00:40:29,177 --> 00:40:31,219
You're so good!
You're so good, nick.
755
00:40:31,263 --> 00:40:34,222
You did two things so well
and that's why you won,
756
00:40:34,266 --> 00:40:37,392
is because when you sang,
you sang with so much emotion.
757
00:40:37,394 --> 00:40:40,478
- Nicole: All your heart.
- There was always so much
emotion in his voice.
758
00:40:40,522 --> 00:40:41,396
You could feel it.
759
00:40:41,606 --> 00:40:43,356
And then you were
so silly in between,
760
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,650
that is was just a lovable
character that took us all.
761
00:40:45,694 --> 00:40:47,402
Thank you, thank you.
I had a ball doing it.
762
00:40:47,863 --> 00:40:52,657
Now, nick, I heard one of
the reasons that you did this
show was for your kids, man.
763
00:40:52,701 --> 00:40:54,868
Now you get to take home
the golden mask trophy.
764
00:40:54,911 --> 00:40:58,246
- That has to be amazing.
- My kids wanted me to do
the show for so long.
765
00:40:58,290 --> 00:40:59,831
Like, "daddy, daddy,
please do 'masked singer.'"
766
00:40:59,875 --> 00:41:02,333
and so I'm so excited.
They have no idea
that I've done this.
767
00:41:02,377 --> 00:41:04,961
- Aww.
- Well, look,
they're watching now.
768
00:41:04,963 --> 00:41:07,589
Cam, brooklyn, phoenix,
this was for you guys.
769
00:41:07,632 --> 00:41:11,134
I love you so much.
Daddy's coming home with
a little hardware.
770
00:41:11,178 --> 00:41:13,261
- Yes!
- Yeah! Yeah!
771
00:41:13,305 --> 00:41:16,598
Now, before we go,
we have one more trophy to give.
772
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,226
With three correct
first impression guesses,
773
00:41:20,228 --> 00:41:23,021
the champion once again.
774
00:41:23,064 --> 00:41:26,191
- Congratulations.
- Jenny mccarthy wahlberg.
775
00:41:26,234 --> 00:41:28,193
Wait, wait, wait.
But wait, I protest.
776
00:41:28,236 --> 00:41:30,945
Her husband is cluedle-doo!
777
00:41:30,989 --> 00:41:33,948
Yeah, there's
something wrong there.
778
00:41:33,992 --> 00:41:35,408
That's not right.
779
00:41:35,452 --> 00:41:38,953
Now she has two golden ears
to go with that big hair.
780
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:41,247
Oh, my god! I won!
781
00:41:41,291 --> 00:41:44,000
- Nicole: Congratulations!
- You have no idea.
782
00:41:44,044 --> 00:41:46,878
- Thank you, "masked singer!"
- robin : Whoo!
783
00:41:46,922 --> 00:41:48,213
Nick: We love you.
Thank you to our panel,

00:41:48,215 --> 00:41:49,589
and thank you
