Nick: Tonight our three worlds collide...
The good, the bad,
and the cuddly,
in a showdown that will shape the "masked singer" universe.
Two singers will be unmasked,
and only one team will triumph
and take their first spot in the finale.
It's time for a star-studded showdown.
- ♪ who are you? - Oh!
♪ who, who, who
♪ come on, tell me, who are you? ♪
- robin: Whoo! Yeah. - Nicole: Wow.
♪ who, who, who
♪ oh, I really wanna know
- ♪ who are you? - Robin: Yeah!
- Wow. - Wow.
Welcome to your favorite guessing game that you never knew you needed,
"the masked singer: The good, the bad, and the cuddly."
- ( western music playing ) - ( squeaking )
- tonight we finish out round one of the season. - ( grunting )
- yeah! - Our three remaining mystery singers
will take the stage and sing their hearts out.
Then they'll come together and have a second chance
to showcase their voices side by side
in the final showdown.
- Yeah! - Oh, yeah!
Yes!
Tonight, we'll have two celebrity unmaskings,
leaving only one singer to move on to our season finale.
Now we can't go any further without saying hi
to the prettiest and wittiest panel on television,
nicole scherzinger, dr. Ken jeong,
jenny mccarthy wahlberg, and mr. Robin thicke.
All right, you guys ready to check in with the teams at their homebase?
We are ready!
Always ready to compliment you with a smile,
it's the good, down one singer.
Throwing down and not afraid to frown,
it's the bad, also with four left.
And back their sweet mugging and always hugging,
the cuddly, who are still intact.
Now masking up can really have a profound effect on a celebrity.
Here's what thingamabob had to say
when he looked at the mask in the mirror.
Thingamabob: Looking back on my childhood,
my family didn't have much,
but we had each other.
I was always a cuddly kid,
never wanting to upset my parents.
So when it came time to make the biggest move of my life,
I looked to them for approval. That's when I was blindsided.
They were skeptical of my dream.
My siblings even stopped talking to me.
- Bull? What does that mean? - Maybe a chicago bull.
I was crushed and felt like my heart
was being pulled in two directions--
my future and my family.
I begged them to believe in me
just as much as I believed in myself.
Wrecking ball!
Is there a miley cyrus connection in there?
And it wasn't until they saw my success
that I finally gained their support.
So tonight, I have to prove to my family once again
that this is just another dream
that I know I can achieve,
and I will no doubt be the first cuddly in the final.
Put your hands together for thingamabob.

- wow. - That was awesome!
- Wow. - Wow. Come on, man.
Nick: All right.
My man did his thingama-thing.
What a way to kick off this final elimination round
of the first group of the good, the bad, and the cuddly.
Nicole: Yes!
Ken: It was fun, it was effortless.
The versatility that you're showing in your performance,
it just makes me perplexed because we've been talking athlete,
but there's no athlete that could have this kind of...
Well, we might not know. That's the beauty of this show, right?
We might not know, but that's what makes this show beautiful.
I freaking love you!
Honestly, your voice, your energy,
your passion, and the way you were able
to just go out in the audience
with your big old size 18 feet, however big they are.
Look how huge your feet are.
Well, you know what? I was thinking about him walking down those stairs,
- his feet were twice as big as the stairs. - Twice as big as the steps.
- I noticed that too. - Yeah!
We need to make bigger steps for thingamabob.
Definitely a big dude.
We should hear from thingamabob, right?
Thingamabob, what would it mean to you to make it to the season finale?
What I do for my job,
not everybody would think that I can do this.
And there's so much more
to me than meets the eye,
and that's why I want to go to the finals.
I wanna keep showing. I wanna keep representing.
- Let's go, team cuddly! - Ken: Wow.
Team cuddly!
Nick: I think we heard some clues in there too.
You guys picking up on anything?
I mean, I heard him say something about his job.
This is a tough one, nick, because on the season premiere,
I was definitely thinking rocker.
But talking about the clues today,
kangaroo, siblings, wrecking ball,
this could be liam hemsworth because-- hold it.
- ( cheering ) - yeah, thank you!
This could be someone from australia
who has siblings-- chris.
The wrecking ball, he was married to miley cyrus.
All the clues the fit, and this is liam hemsworth.
You might not be off there, ken. That's a pretty good guess.
I'm gonna have some fun, because last week I guessed this person,
and the crowd went crazy,
- so let's see if it works again, okay? - Ken: Oh, no.
We've seen shields,
and we've seen clues about the wrecking ball.
This man famously went viral
for protesting construction in--
- hawaii. - Robin: There it is.
He protested construction in hawaii.
I think that this is aquaman, jason mamoa!
Come on!
- It's not. - It's not jason mamoa?
- It's not? - However, he just gave us a clue
and said people wouldn't expect him
to do this with his normal job
or what we know him for, so I'm like, "okay--"
aquaman.
Exactly. He came in with his little thingamabob party bus.
I'm thinking all the colors,
he's wild, there's a wrecking ball,
he's a wrecking ball on and off the court.
There was a bull for the chicago bulls.
I think this could be dennis rodman.
Jenny: Oh!
- All right, some great guesses... - Oh, oh, oh, okay!
- Look at that! - Oh, he's a lefty though.
- He's shooting his shot! - Oh, wait. It went righty.
- He switched it around. - Nick: Did he give it away?
He's ambidextrous.
There it is, ladies and gentlemen.
One more time, make some noise for thingamabob.
Now go ahead backstage
to your team cuddly homebase.
Don't go anywhere
because things are about to get more exciting.
We've got two unmaskings tonight.
See you in a minute.
Thingamabob, he looks like a monster,
but come on, he's a cuddly.
Seems like a really nice guy though.
Oh, no. I think I like thingamabob.
Please don't tell team bad I said that.
♪ who is that?
Welcome back to "the masked singer: The good, the bad, and the cuddly."
- ( western music playing ) - ( squeaking )
it's the final week of round one,
and two are getting eliminated.
Next up, team bad is ready to show what they've got
so let's see what clues dropped
when cyclops took a look in the mirror
because anything can be a clue.
Hi, friends. Come a little closer.
Let's take a look at one of the most surreal moments of my life.
I was going through some stuff,
feeling kind of down in the dumps.
Statue of "david."
- maybe his name's david? - Yeah, yeah.
- But then... - ( alarm blaring )
I received the best message ever.
It had me smiling with the best of them.
- Podcast? - Oh, he's got a podcast maybe.
My favorite musician wanted to feature me on their new album.
It was always a dream I had,
but I never thought it would actually become a reality.
I'll never forget that moment,
how it changed my life and how happy it made me.
Ooh, I know a fiddle player.
Taking the stage tonight is my way of reliving that joy
over and over, and that joy is what will fuel
the first member of team bad right into the finals.
Make some noise for cyclops.

Jenny: Oh, that's so cute.
Okay!
That was definitely fun.
There's stuffed animals and glitter everywhere.
Nicole.
- I mean, what a feeling? - Yeah!
What a feeling that gave us all. That was electrifying!
I think this is what this show is all about.
The costume, it makes us smile, it makes us giggle,
all the kids are gonna love it.
You're out there singing a classic song
that has a completely different meaning, but, uh--
- what a great time, man. Thank you so much. - Nicole: Yes.
- Robin: What a great time. - Indeed, indeed.
Well, cyclops, how are you feeling about--
please, please, please, please.
Cyclops is my father. Call my cy.
Nick: My bad, cy.
How are you feeling about that performance, man?
Oh, man, this whole thing has been incredibly frightening.
My field of vision is this little hole in the soul patch.
I hear there was a big show going on around me.
I can't wait to see it.
Who wants to go first?
Oh, I will, 'cause it's so obvious.
You look at the clue package, at the very first thing,
you saw michelangelo's statue of "david."
"david."
ken: And if you look at the mega clue,
it was meteorites that was coming from a galaxy.
What do you do in a galaxy? You guard it.
This is drax from "guardians of the galaxy."
- oh. - This is dave bautista.
That's not bad. That's not bad.
- But I think there's a better clue... - What?
...That brought me to the real person.
What?
Jenny: So when I first saw cyclops,
I was thinking this could be a villain, tv villain,
like william zabka.
But then I saw that fiddle clue.
It has to be a musician.
So the first episode we saw a compass,
this has artist has a song called "castaway."
now if you're a "castaway," you need a compass.
Then the next week, mega clue, we got a meteorite.
This guy is a major country rock star.
Wait for it, ken. You're gonna love it.
And today's clue, we saw a fiddle.
What band has a fiddle?
- The zac brown band. - Oh!
- That is zac brown, everybody! - Ken: That's a good guess.
That's pretty good, jenny. That's pretty good.
Robin, what do you think?
So in week one when we saw the turtle,
I was thinking rob dyrdek
because he famously raced turtles on his show.
But today when it said "podcast,"
this guy has one of the most popular podcasts in the business.
I think this is dax shepard.
- Ken: Good guess. - Okay.
Well, cyclops, what would it mean to you to make it to the season finale?
I haven't really thought that far ahead.
Now that I'm here, there are no words.
- Ken: Aw. - Jenny: Oh!
- Yeah! - Well, whoever you are, cyclops,
I've got a feeling that you're gonna keep on going,
'cause you are a fan favorite.
- Great job. - Y'all keep it going.
The cyclops did his thing.
What a feeling indeed. An incredible performance.
Now you can run on backstage
and hang out at your homebase.
You know what I love about team baddie,
is that they're so incredibly unpredictable, you know what I mean?
- Yeah. - They're totally trying to throw us off,
and they're gonna be the ones that are gonna shock us when they unmask.
Absolutely. I wonder who is gonna make it through to the final.
This final episode of round one is in full swing.
But don't get too comfortable,
because two contestants are heading home tonight.
Oh, no. It's a double elimination.
This is "the masked singer: The good, the bad, and the cuddly" on fox.
Like, tonight, will it be the good, bad, or cuddly making it to the finals?
I mean, I'm hoping that it's team baddie.
- I'm team goodie. - Yeah, I'm team cuddles.
- Do you wanna put some money on it? - Um, no.
♪ who is that?
Welcome back to the best kept secret on tv,
"the masked singer."
this season is all about the good, the bad, and the cuddly.
Next up for team good is firefly.
Before she lights up the stage,
let's see what she wants you to reflect on.
Take a look, because everything and anything can be a clue.
Firefly: I've never been one to shy away from the spotlight.
Even as a young firefly, I loved to dress up in my mom's clothes
and entertain my imaginary audience.
Oh, that's kanye.
She's either a big fan of or she's collaborated.
Right.
Then one day my mom encouraged me
to get in front of a real crowd--
my neighbors!
Ha! I even charged them to watch my show.
And believe it or not, it was one of those neighbors
who got me my first real gig.
Is she a model maybe?
I've always been a shining star.
I'm not just fire. I'm fly.
Showdown or not, I'm gonna light up that stage
and let my voice shine, baby.
Ladies and gentlemen, firefly!

That's what I'm talking about.
- Wow. - Team good can't be stopped
because she's going all the way!
- Nick: All the way! - Robin: Absolutely.
- She's definitely a professional. - Yeah.
There are some singers who see the song as a whole,
and they just get their way through the song.
She sees every word and every line
as its own moment to give us emotion,
and every single phrase, every single note has meaning to her,
and that's why it's so special.
Yes.
What would it mean to you to make it to the season finale?
I mean, it would mean everything.
You see I come out here, and I do my best,
and I just-- I wanna win!
- Yeah! - That's right! That's right!
It's game time! She came to win,
and she came out fighting and swinging!
- Yeah! - Speaking of game time,
panel, you guys saw the clue package, you saw the performance.
Who do you think this is?
So, for weeks I've been saying alicia keys, and I'll tell you why.
You see the fire alarm.
Just like the firefly, this girl is on fire!
- Nicole: Yes! - And there's a scissors.
And little known fact about alicia keys,
she takes her dresses to a local laundromat
to get it tailored.
It's actually not a bad guess,
it's just the explanation was horrible.
How dare you?
You know, I said monica a few weeks back,
but today I kind of got a ding, especially with that hot body.
- Ciara. - Nicole: Oh.
In the clues, there was a fire alarm,
and there's a song "hotline."
she's also from hot-lanta. We saw tyler perry,
- who's from there as well. - Yeah, yeah.
So all these are kind of lining up
with those beautiful thighs that she's got.
I think this is the beautiful and talented ciara.
- Good guess. - Yes.
I think I'd know if it was my girl, cc, but...
All right, well, robin, what you got?
You know what? Week by week we've seen a famous face, right?
The first week we saw tyler perry.
This singer sang "love you better"
in tyler perry's movie "why did I get married?"
the next week we saw pharrell williams
as the mega clue, right?
And this singer and pharrell
both had guest vocals on a song with snoop dogg.
And then this week we see kanye west,
and she has a song with kanye west
- called "I changed my mind." - yes.
I know I said this last week, but now it is confirmed.
This is keyshia cole.
- Nicole: Wow. - Ken: Good guess.
- I like it, robin thicke. - Thank you.
Whoever you are, I think you just landed you and team good
- a spot in the finale! - Robin: Yeah.
Nick: Panel, great job.
But even better job by the one and only firefly.
Look, you've got them back up on their feet.
Leaving it all on the stage.
You proving being fly is a gift.
Go ahead and go backstage and recharge.
Men in black, help her out.
Next up, the good, the bad, and the cuddly
sing together in the final showdown,
- and two celebrities will unmask. - Whoa!
But first, our singers have been getting some extra support
from their friends this season.
Let's check out those messages,
and maybe you'll recognize a familiar face.
Firefly! It's me, t-rex here! Also known as jojo siwa.
Listen, I know what it's like to be in that mask,
but trust me, there is no hiding
your star power behind that thing.
Shine bright my friend,
and always remember that you are awesome.
Kill it!
Nick: Next week, meet the most
out of control costume in "masked singer" history.

Something's stuck on your horn, player. Yeah, there you go.
Get that off your horn.
Robin: I gotta say, I gotta say,
cyclops, thingamabob,
and the firefly were singing they butts off right now.
Jenny: I mean!
Nick: Everybody is on they feet.
You guys just raised the bar for everyone.
I always love it when they get up onstage together,
and we get to see them singing like this.
Firefly got down and was like, "I'ma bring it."
then thingamabob raised it up.
Then cyclops raised it up. That was awesome.
Yes! They made each other even better
- after that showdown. - That's right.
Robin: They brought it out. They brought it out.
Nick: There it is. Well, you heard the panel.
We all loved it,
and the decision just became harder than ever.
But regardless, the pending doom of tonight's unmasking
is alive and well.
It's time for the vote that will send not one,
but two mystery singers home.
- That's not fair! - I can't believe two people have to go home.
Oh, this is going to be so hard. I want all teams in the finale.
Nick: Firefly, cyclops, and thingamabob,
you guys left it all on the floor,
but only one of you can move on.
Audience, panel, it's time to vote
for your favorite solo performance.
The singer with the most votes
will advance to the season finale.
The two singers with the least amount of votes
will be forced to unmask.
The votes are in.
The first mystery celebrity singer going home...
- Oh, already? - Already?
Is...
- It's happening? - No.
Oh, man.
Going to be revealed right after the break.
- Nick! - He gets me every time!
- Robin: Man! - You ain't right.
What? We got two unmaskings. Don't get mad at me.
We gotta do the--
don't go anywhere.
♪ who is that?
Welcome back to "the masked singer."
three very talented performers stand before us,
but only one from this round
can advance to the season finale.
Good luck, everyone.
- The first singer... - Oh, no.
Getting unmasked and going home tonight is...
- Ken: Oh, man, it's happening. - Robin: No.
- Jenny: I know! - This is tough.
Nicole: I-- I hate this.
- Cyclops. - Oh!
- Cyclops! - Ladies and gentlemen, show your love for cyclops.
- Firefly and thingamabob... - Jenny: We love cyclops!
...You're still in the game for now.
- That was tough. - Go take a moment in your homebases.
Aw, he looks so sad.
- There it is. My brother cyclops. - He's so sweet.
We hate to see you go, but we're excited to see
who you really are up under that mask.
Nicole: Yes!
But first, before we get to that, we gotta talk to the panel.
- These are your final guesses. - I'll take a shot here.
I was on this-- with the podcast
and some of the new clues we got today,
I started thinking dax shepard, right?
But then you said that your eyehole
is in your soul patch.
So that would make you a little bit shorter than nick,
which means you're not dax shepard,
because he's about 6'2".
So that started getting me thinking about the other clues
that we've seen, and a name came to mind.
A very famous writer, director, who's also an actor,
owns a comic book store,
and we've seen some comic book clues and references.
Also he has own podcast network.
I think that's kevin smith.
Ooh. That's a great guess.
That is an outstanding guess.
It's all right.
Jenny's hating on your guess a little bit.
I'm hating because when I saw that fiddle I was like,
"mm, that is a huge clue for me."
there was a compass,
and he has song called "castaway."
meteorite-- country rock star.
Zac brown band! I think this is zac brown.
- Ken: That's a good guess. - Nicole: That's a good guess.
All right, all right.
I respect that, but here's the deal.
Tonight the clue was on the nose.
Statue of "david."
they're just spelling it out for your boy right here.
This is david bautista.
- All right. - You know what was also in the clue, ken?
- What? - Who created the statue of "david?"
michelangelo. That's right.
- Robin: Michel-ang-lo. - You know, nick, it's season seven.
- It is. - And I'm gonna go big, or I'm gonna go bigger!
- Whoa! - Does that make sense?
- Yes, it does. - You know why?
I think that this could be
legendary michael keaton.
- Whoa! Really? - Okay, how'd you get there?
Nicole: We have the comic book clues.
Not only was this person actually batman himself.
He also played a supervillain in "spider-man: Homecoming."
- okay. - We saw the meteorite from 1988.
His big famous movie "beetlejuice" was from 1988.
- Wow. - This is michael keaton, everyone.
- Michael keaton, all right. - Jenny: I love that.
- Well, you guys ready? - Yes!
Our panel has made their final guesses.
Let's see if any of them are anywhere near close.
Audience, you know the slogan. You know the phrase.
Chant it with me.
All: Take it off! Take it off!

- so really, really great job here right now. - Thank you.
So I guess the compass clue is "lost."
- ken: Right? - Yeah, pretty much.
There was a lot of "lost" clues that flew right by you.
Okay, so what was the statue of "david"?
Well, one of my early breaks
was I did "curb your enthusiasm" with larry david.
Larry.
- Wow. - Oh, my god.
That job is basically what got me the audition for "lost."
- really? - Wow.
Well, we appreciate you being here.
He was such a great sport. Entertained us all.
To sing one last time unmasked,
the artist formerly known as the cyclops,
it's jorge garcia!
- Yes! - Yeah, jorge!

Welcome back to "the masked singer:
The good, the bad, and the cuddly."
- ( western music playing ) - ( squeaking )
cyclops was just unmasked.
Two singers are left standing.
But there's only room for one to move on in the competition
and be named the round one winner.
The next singer to get unmasked
and leave us tonight is...
- ( groaning ) - oh, no!
Not my cuddly.
Oh, man. This is tense, dude.
They both belong in the finals.
- Thingamabob. - ( crowd groans )
- thingamabob! - Nick: Show your love for thingamabob.
But congratulations.
That means, firefly, you are dancing to the season finale!
Team good, baby!
- Come on, ken! - Y'all show some love to thingamabob.
Go ahead.
Firefly you can show your love to thingamabob too
and then head back to your homebase.
Aw, that's the best.
Show your love for firefly, y'all!
Thingamabob, come on down here.
Before we get to our take it off moment,
we gotta talk to the panel.
It's time for your final guesses. Who wants to go first?
- Yeah, I'm ready. - Oh!
Jenny mccarthy wahlberg.
When I first saw you,
I thought, man, this guy is huge.
He's gotta be an athlete,
and it made me think of chris jericho.
But then I saw today's clues,
and it made me go, "ding!"
michael strahan made so much sense.
He loves dogs, and that was a big clue,
a bulldog in the first episode.
And then we saw a kangaroo,
and we all kinda know he hopped from one show to another.
So I'm thinking this is the very talented michael strahan.
Ken: Good guess.
I like that guess.
All right, initially from bon jovi's song,
I was thinking james hetfield.
And then this week, I just have to go with the clue package.
This is someone from australia.
The wrecking ball, someone who was married to miley cyrus.
Someone who is liam hemsworth.
Well, I've been all over the place to be honest with you, nick.
And then he said it in his clue today onstage
that people wouldn't expect him to do this.
And he had the thingamabob party bus,
the extreme hair, the extreme clothes.
We saw the bulldog.
- Obviously bull, chicago bulls. - Mm-hmm.
I think this could be dennis rodman.
Ken: Yes. Good guess.
I've been having fun with the fishing tackle box
and there was-- he had mentioned a trident last episode.
So I've been really having fun with aquaman
and the recently single jason mamoa.
Oh, my gosh.
But I think this singer
is a little taller than jason,
and I think know who it is.
Now we've seen a shield.
The logo for the nfl is a shield, right?
We've seen a kangaroo.
This player is known for blocking passes,
for jumping and blocked passes.
Also, we saw a bull. He's known for his bull rush.
I think this is three-time defensive player of the year
- j.J. Watt. - Wow.
Oh! Robin, I like it!
Bringing it home for us, robin.
Well, the panel's made their final guesses.
Let's see if any of them are correct.
We're gonna find out who's behind the mask right now.
Audience, say it with me.
- Take it off! - Come on!
All: Take it off! Take it off!
Take it off! Take it off!
- ♪ I really wanna know - oh, my god!
♪ come on, tell me, who are you? ♪
- take it off! - ♪ you, you, you
♪ are you?
Nfl star, philadelphia eagle, jordan mailata!
Oh, I was wrong!
My man! Who knew that you had those type of skills?
Jordan mailata from the eagles!
Jordan!
Hi. Hi.
See, I wasn't far off with jason mamoa now.
If you put jason mamoa and j.J. Watts together--
and j.J. Watts, I get this!
One thing we must say, I mean, that voice, man.
- We would never know that an nfl player... - Wow.
...Had such range, such ability.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Man, I've been singing all my life.
I tell everybody that I meet.
Yeah, I did a good job hiding my accent, didn't I?
Yeah. I was a singer first before any sort of athlete.
I played rugby in australia,
and, you know, I decided four years ago
to try to take a step on the other side of the water,
in the nfl, and ended up paying off.
- And so this is kind of massive. - Wow. That's huge.
- Ken: Yeah, I mean-- - yeah. Thank you, guys.
This is rare we have an active nfl player
taking the time on "the masked singer."
not only that,
but one of the top offensive tackles in the leagues.
So, brother, we are honored right now.
Thank you. Thank you, guys.
Thank you so much.
May I ask what your nationality is, your background?
So I was born in australia, but I'm samoan.
- You're samoan. - Yes, ma'am.
Thank you for representing for pacific islanders.
- Chee-hoo! - Chee-hoo!
That's right.
I just wanna say thank you so much for welcoming me here.
This has been an incredible experience for me,
and I just wanted to say, you know, if you wanna do something, just do it.
Just do it. Have fun doing it as well.
- That's right. - There it is.
- Chee-hoo! - Jordan mailata,
we thank you, my brother, for coming here,
having so much fun, being a good sport,
and giving us some well-needed entertainment.
Let's hear it one more time for jordan mailata!
The race to the golden mask trophy continues next week.
Who will join firefly in the season finale?
Five brand new characters from all three teams,
the good, the bad, and the cuddly, will hit the stage.
And let me tell you, you ain't seen nothing yet.
But right now, here to perform unmasked once and for all,
the artist formerly known as the thingamabob.
Give it up for jordan mailata!
Chee-hoo!
