Please welcome to the stage your semifinalist,
the Harp!
- Jenny: Yes! - Harp, yeah!
- Nick: The Snowstorm. - Yeah! Whoo!
Nick: And the Lambs.
- Nicole: Yes! - Ken: Yeah!
Semifinals, baby!
- Yeah! - Nick: Oh, yeah.
We've unmasked 18 celebrities,
and now we are down to the top three.
Tonight, they'll perform a song
then face each other for the first time
in an epic three-way Battle Royale.
Yes!
Oh, this is gonna be a good one.
It's gonna be a great one.
Only two will move on to next week's finale,
which means one will have to hang up her crown tonight and be unmasked.
- Ooh. - Who's up first? Let's start with you, Harp.
- Yes! - Bring it, Harp! Bring it!
Let's see what she is thankful for this Thanksgiving.
I'm really excited about making the semifinals,
and I really wanna win.
I'm so grateful to be here,
'cause I've always been a fan of the show.
A trophy? Did she win a talent show?
It could be a Grammy, an Oscar.
Me and my family and my friends always watch it,
and it's been very hard not saying anything.
Now, my sisters don't know, my dad doesn't know,
my friends don't know. My man doesn't know.
He thinks I'm filming a movie.
So she's a liar.
My mom is the only person that I've told.
My mom and myself are very alike.
She was a singer just like me.
She's, like, my rock.
If I had handful of people that believed in me
the way that my mom believes in me,
I know that I can soar so far,
because that woman thinks I can do anything,
and I wanna win this for her.
- Hey, Mom. - Hi, baby.
I'm getting ready to go on "Masked Singer."
I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous.
Well, you're gonna do just fine.
We're all so proud of you. I'm cheering for you, okay?
- Aww. - All right, love you.
Love you, too.
Thank you, Mom, for being such a great example in my life,
and being my best friend, and I love you.
- Beautiful, beautiful. - My emotions.
It's the semifinals and I'm already crying.
Oh.
Whoo! Happy Thanksgiving, "Masked Singer!"
- Yes! - Yes!
Y'all ready to party? Whoo!

- Whoa! - What is happening?
- Nick: Wow. - Jenny: That was--
- Whoo! - What a way to kick off the semifinals, y'all.
- Nicole: What a way! - Wow.
I mean, Nick, is this the semifinals
or are we at her concert tonight right now?
- Right? - Seriously!
- That's right! - Harp unleashed.
We finally get to see you move.
- Your hips do not lie, honey! - Robin: Man.
Nicole: Not at all!
For me, that was the best performance
- of the entire season hands down. - Ken: Wow. Really?
You are such a true talent.
No doubt a legend, an icon.
You could sing the phonebook
and make me cry with a voice like that.
- Nicole: Yes. - And I know you're gonna get to the finals!
Nick: Wow.
And we all wanna know who this is, right?
Jenny: Yes! I'm dying to know who this is.
Well, in the spirit of Thanksgiving,
let's give thanks for our first onstage clue.
Bring it on out.
( gobbling )
Jenny: Ah, I love it!
That's a wild turkey.
- ( gobbling ) - Mmm, I'm hungry.
- Oprah! - Jenny: Oprah?
- Oprah? - She knows Oprah.
Turkey brought out some Oprah.
So when I met Oprah for the first time,
I brought my mom with me and was going to introduce her,
but before I did, she said hello and already knew her name.
You know you've made it when Oprah knows your name and your mom's name.
- Oprah knows her mama. - Wow.
- Does that help? - Well, she did say her mom was a singer.
- That's true, that's true. - Right.
Ken: I've been saying this all season.
With Harp, I've been on this Jennifer Hudson train
and I refuse to get off it, you know what I'm saying?
- ( crowd jeering ) - How dare you? Don't boo me yet.
- I was in "The Hangover." - That was not-- is not Jennifer Hudson.
- Yeah, it is, and I'll tell you why. - Okay, tell me why.
Oprah. Oprah is in the clues. Daytime talk show legend.
J. Hud is launching her own daytime talk show
and I am gonna be a guest on it someday
if I can I have a publicist.
Everyone else here, they're gonna say all these--
"Number one trophy. It's American Idol.
Yadda, yadda, yadda."
No, what is better than "American Idol?"
Oh, I don't know.
An Academy Award? An Oscar for "Dreamgirls"?
'Cause you J. Hud is a dream, girl.
- Boom. - Wow.
- How dare you? - You can boo now.
How-- how dare you?
You can boo earlier next time if you feel like it.
- How dare you? - Jenny: You know, Ken,
I'm grateful for your bad guesses
because my bad guesses don't sound that bad going after you.
- So here I go. - Oh, thank you very much. What?
Jenny: I have been all over the place.
Each week I'm like, "Huh?"
'Cause she's so good that I feel like I know that voice,
it sounds familiar, and then I get swished up to somebody else.
And I mentioned her before, but I'm feeling
that number one trophy
came from an "American Idol" win.
I really think this could be Jordin Sparks.
- Nicole: Okay. - Robin: Not a bad guess.
You know who else won "American Idol" was Fantasisa.
Jenny: That's right.
Also, Oprah remade "The Color Purple."
- Fantasia was a part of that. - Ken: Oh, yes.
Or you know who else has a trophy?
- Jenny: Who? - Amber Riley.
Jenny: Oh!
I had the honor of seeing Amber Riley
in "Dreamgirls" on the West End,
where I believe she got an Olivier for her performance.
- Oh. - An Olivier?
- Wow. - Wow. I got three of those.
- I don't think so. - No, you don't.
Ken: Yeah, I did. I did!
For "Hangover" 1, 2, and 3. Look it up.
It's in the Wikipedia. How dare you?
Y'all make some noise for the sensational Queen Harp.
Whoo!
Nick: Y'all head on back to the lair.
Robin: Yeah!
That was probably my favorite performance of the season.
I got to sing and dance and show them what I can do.
- It was so fun. - She came to win.
- Yeah. - She's like, "This is the semifinals,
but I'm gonna treat this like the finals."
- That's what it takes. - Right?
You gotta have that mentality.
- ( turkey gobbles ) - ♪ Who is that?
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer," the semifinals.
Yes!
And happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
Up next, she blew away the competition with her incredible presence.
Let's see what the Snowstorm is thankful for.
Ever since I was a little girl,
I always dreamed of being a popstar.
When I was in high school, I was taking voice lessons,
and one day my mom said she got a call from my voice teacher saying,
"I'm sorry, but your daughter doesn't have 'it'."
Cinema ticket.
So maybe a film star that wanted to be a pop star.
That was the day my dream died.
That's why I'm very thankful I'm still here on this show.
I'm really grateful for the opportunity
to express myself in a way
that I never thought I would be able to artistically.
And I hope by making it to the finals next week,
I continue to inspire any kid or adult out there
who thinks that they don't have "it."
Because I promise you, you do have it.
You just gotta unmask it.
- Oh! - Oh, yes!
Goosebumps!
If my voice teacher is out there watching,
don't change the channel.
Because proving you wrong someday
has kept going all of these years.
So this one's for you, dream-killer.
( laughs )
- Oh! - Yes!
- Dream-killer. - I love it!
- Wow, I love it. - You can still have a heart
- and still be a wise-ass. - That's inspiring.

- Unbelievable. - Beautiful.
Lights in the air for the Snowstorm on this holiday.
Can I just say, Snowstorm, you blew us away, okay?
- Thank you. - That performance was so beautiful, so touching.
I can hear your passion behind your voice.
And, girlfriend, I mean, you keep elevating every time we see you.
- Yes. - You leveled up, right?
- Thank you. - Yeah, that vocal
had so much texture and purity.
I mean, I thought that was your best vocal performance.
- By far. - Thank you, thank you. That means so much.
Snowstorm you are peaking at the right time
at the right moment in the semifinals,
and this is your moment.
- Great job. - Thank you. Thank you, Ken.
All right, time for an onstage clue.
Ladies and gentlemen,
prepare for the Masky's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
- Hey! Hey, hey, hey! - Oh, I love it!
Ken: Nice. Wow.
Look at that.
Oh!
Uh, I don't know what's going on here.
- What does that say? - Oh, wow.
- Look at that. - Oh, it's "squiggly."
- Squiggly? - I believe it says "squiggly."
- Oh, squiggly. - Squiggly!
Like our Squiggly Monster.
Squiggly Monster was a dear friend of mine and is no longer with us,
and it feels really weird to cry with this voice,
- but... - Oh.
Um, he was the reason that I decided to do this show,
because his experience was just so rewarding.
And I'm so glad he got to have it before he passed away.
So my performances have been for him,
whether he would want that or not.
You did him proud, girlfriend. You did him proud.
We love him as well.
As you know, Squiggly Monster
was the great Bob Saget,
and we lost him way, way too soon.
He was amazing on this show
and an amazing friend and amazing comedian.
- Yes. - Truly a legend.
Well, panel, does that clue help any of you?
Well, you know, it does help me
because she's been so funny, and so I've been stuck on this.
She's a comedian that's also a movie star that also sings, right?
And so this kinda helps solidify the comedian factor--
because Bob obviously being
one of the great stand-up comedians--
I'm thinking that he might've had an influence on her
and they might've connected through comedy.
So I still think that it's Whitney Cummings.
Nicole: Love Whitney Cummings.
You know what? It's not terrible.
I don't think it's Whitney,
but I think you're in the right wheelhouse
'cause I definitely think, like, a roast comic.
Especially from the beginning clues
the very first time we saw her, I saw a-- like, a doormat.
That was just representing
how I've been treated in relationships.
- She's funny. - See? What'd I say?
She's definitely a comic.
And in the clue package,
we saw that light that was blinking and said "live."
I think this goes with her MTV show that was live.
And like I said, with that doormat, with the cameras,
she actually did a reality show during COVID.
She moved back in with her parents.
So I really think this could be the amazing
roast comic herself, Nikki Glaser.
- Ken: Oh, great guess. - Okay.
Whitney and Nikki both do the roasts.
- They both do the roasts. - They both fall in that category.
That's why I think you're in the right wheelhouse.
Yeah, but speaking of that, when it said "live,"
it could also be someone from "Saturday Night Live."
- No. It's okay. - It could!
- No, it's not. - Hear me out!
I think this is "SNL" legend Kristen Wiig.
She can sing. She's amazing. She's a comedy legend.
Movie ticket with a laughing emoji.
"Bridesmaids" is one of the best movies of all time.
But the only thing about Kristen, who's brilliant,
but she's not quite that tall
as I'm looking at Snowstorm right now.
Well, Nick is only like 5'4".
And it's just, like-- don't blame it on Nick.
Well, whoever you are, we're thankful.
- Nicole: Yes. - Nick: All right.
Y'all keep it going for the Snowstorm.
You can head on backstage to the lair.
Men In Black, help her out.
- We'll see a little bit later. - Whoo!
It means so much to me that I'm at the semifinals
because, well, especially when you find out who I am,
you would not expect me to make it this far.
And I know that didn't, so I'm just--
I can't believe I'm here.
- ( turkey gobbles ) - ♪ Who is that?
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer," the semifinals.
Whoo!
The Lambs proved that they are the ones to bleat.
What's on their mind this Thanksgiving?
Let's see.
On this Thanksgiving, there's nothing
- we're more thankful for... - Than each other.
And we've always known that, even when we were little girls.
We were young ladies when we hit it big.
Platinum class. That could be platinum records.
And even though we were incredibly grateful,
we so burnt out that we started to have issues.
And it was just very sad.
I know what that feels like, you guys.
( bleats )
We knew that going our separate ways
was probably the best decision at that time.
( crying )
It was a good thing for us.
It really gives you perspective, and a break,
and you can find yourself again.
When we reunited, it was like no time had passed.
- I love you. I love you. - Love you.
And that bond is what we're taking into the semifinals.
We have won a few other awards in our lives,
but it's been very, very long time,
and we are ready for another win.
We're just gonna fight over
who gets to take home the trophy.

Keep it going for the Lambs.
Just what we needed right now.
Man. Wham, bam, thank you, Lamb.
- That was-- - Oh, my gosh.
- Panel, talk to 'em. - So what I love about you all
is I can tell you love music so much.
- Yes. - It just comes from your soul
and in your veins and your spirit,
and I feel it every time.
Thank you so much for that beautiful performance.
I was just thinking about the lyrics
- and what they've gone through. - Yeah.
You know, we do need you now. This is very relevant.
- And they need each other. - They need each other.
- That's what made it so special for me. - Yeah.
I think it's the most authentic performance of the evening.
- Amazing, amazing job. - Jenny: Yeah, yeah.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you.
I think someone needs a hug. Someone needs a hug.
- I need you now. - I know. I need you, buddy.
I need-- little team hug. Little team hug.
- I love you, guys. - There it is. Bring it on it.
That's that Thanksgiving love right there.
- Family hug. - Happy Thanksgiving.
- All right. Don't touch me. - ( Nick laughs )
All right, let's bring out another Thanksgiving clue.
Let's go!
( gobbling )
- Ken: Ah, gobble, gobble. - Nicole: There's the turkey!
- Jenny: What's happening? - 'Ey! Thank you.
- Thank you so much. - Ken: Oh, man.
- ( gobbling ) - Oh, it says something.
- Nicole: Try to lift it up. - Oh. It says "reunion."
Ken: Oh, reunion.
- It could be like a television reunion. - Mm.
For a long time, I didn't think
that we would be singing together
on the stage ever again.
But I never gave up
on the three of us getting back together.
And it's unthinkable for us not to be singing together again
- for the rest of our lives. - Aww.
This Thanksgiving, I'm grateful to all of you,
- especially you both. - We love you.
- Aww. - Oh, oh! A lot of tears.
I felt that. Did you guys feel that?
- Felt that. - Aw, man.
Did that help you guys in understanding or guessing
who the Lambs actually are under the masks?
You know what? We've named a lot of groups that could've had reunions.
- Totally. - Right? We've named HAIM, Corrs.
- Yep. - But now if I'm going off of the clues,
they lead to a group called All Saints.
- Robin: Mm. - Jenny: I remember them.
Nicole: Remember All Saints?
They're from the UK.
There was a Christmas wreath.
- Ken: Mm-kay. Okay. - For Saint Nick.
And they've had multiple reunions,
so I'm thinking it could be All Saints.
Okay.
Who you thinking, turkey?
Well, in the past I've said everyone from the Kardashians--
- ( laughter ) - How dare you?
- Nick: Why did you stand up? - Because I'm proud of it, Nick!
But, real talk,
I think this is the Spice Girls, and I'll tell you why.
- Oh, my gosh! - Let me finish!
Let me tell you.
The international flight from England,
platinum status, platinum records.
Reunion-- they had a reunion tour.
This is Ginger, Sporty, Scary! Spice Girls!
You do know it's five Spice Girls, right?
Two of them are unavailable? Why? Posh Spice is in the UK
bending it with Beckham or whatever.
And-- let me finish. And Baby Spice, she's a baby.
And do you know how hard it is for a baby to get a working visa?
It's horrible. It's like,
( with accent ) "I am a baby.
Get me a visa, innit?"
We do this at least once a show.
On three, "No, Ken."
One, two, three.
All: No, Ken!
Sit your ass down. Robin, make some sense out of this.
Well, you know, previously I've been on this-- the Chicks,
formerly known as the Dixie Chicks, right?
- ( cheers and applause ) - However...
Nicole: Uh-oh! Uh-oh!
However, tonight I heard something in the harmonies
and I was looking at the clues,
and I've seen this clue a few times
in the earlier packages. A wedding ring, right?
- Yes. - "What is the wedding ring about?"
And I think I've figured it out.
I think that this is Wilson Phillips,
and the wedding ring is from "Bridesmaid" movie
- where they had their reunion. - Oh!
Nick: Audience likes that.
- Not bad. - Could be wrong. Could be wrong.
- Not bad, not bad. - We love that energy right there.
Y'all give it up for the Lambs.
Robin: Whoo!
Head on back to the lair
- to prepare for the battle. - Robin: Yeah!
We're so grateful to have made it this far,
but we wanna keep going.
It's a lot of pressure, but at the same time,
- we came here to win! - Yeah!
There is magic on the show. To have this kind of reunion.
- To have this kind of healing full circle. - Yeah.
- In the spirit of giving, in Thanksgiving. - Absolutely.
And they sound like a typical family.
Who doesn't have fights and then get back together again?
Usually on Thanksgiving.

Panel, what are your thoughts?
- Go, girl-power, number one. - Yeah.
Right? Such a hard decision, 'cause they're all so talented.
Well, this is the Thanksgiving episode,
and we all should just give thanks for all three of you.
- Amazing performances. - There you go. There you go.
- Very different in style, but all equally wonderful really. - We bow down.
And be so proud of yourselves 'cause each of you slayed it.
- Yeah. - You guys all deserve to be in the finals.
Nick: There it is.
We've just witnessed three incredible performances,
but there's only room for two in the finale.
Oh, man.
- Studio audience... - Robin: That's tough.
- ...panel... - Ugh!
- ...it's all up to you. - ( groaning )
The top two will move on to next week's season finale.
The singer with the least amount of votes
will be unmasked, going home tonight.
The only good thing is only one goes home instead of two.
- I won't have to break my heart twice. - Yes, that's good.
That's true. That's nice.
But then it's the finals. Oh, my God.
- The voting is open now. - ( Jenny gasps )
- This is big, man. - The most difficult Battle Royale decision
ever to date.
The results are coming up after the break.
- ( turkey gobbling ) - ♪ Who is that?
- Welcome back to "The Masked Singer."
All three of our semifinalists
have put on amazing performances,
but only two can make it to the season finale next time.
Let's see who takes the first slot.
- Oh, this is big! - She's already highly strung.
Can the Harp handle the pressure or will she snap?
Is the forecast favorable,
or did the frost just not bite for the Snowstorm?
Oh, man. I'm nervous.
Or will they spring into the finale,
or are the Lambs heading "baa-ck" home?
We're about to see. It's a big moment.
In no particular order, the first queen or queens
moving on to the season finale is...
I'm scared.
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared.

- Yeah! Come on! - Yeah!

- Good for you, Harp. - Nicole: Yeah!
Nick: So amazing.
They're gonna crown you once again.
- How does it feel? - It feels so amazing and so rewarding!
Thank you so much!
All right, well, Harp, head on backstage.
We'll see you next time.
Y'all keep it going for the Harp.
Whoo!
Which leaves us with the Lambs
and the Snowstorm.
You better not go to commercial break. I will kick your butt.
One of you is taking that second slot in the finale.
The other will be unmasked.
- Here we go. - No!
The queen or queens coming back
to compete against the Harp in the finale is...
Oh, my gosh. It's happening.
Jenny: I know!
- The Lambs! - Oh!
- Wow.
Congratulations, Lambs.
You guys are heading to the finale.
The Lambs are excited.
You guys have been crowned once again.
- Thank you, Nick! - Thank you, Nick! Thank you, Nick!
Lamb love.
We'll see you guys next time. Show some love for the Lambs.
- Whoo! - And while we're showing love,
you guys keep it going for Snowstorm.
- Snowstorm! - We hate to see you go,
but we can't wait to see who you are.
Yo, this has been an incredible journey for the Snowstorm.
- Incredible. - Yes, yes.
But before we get to see which celebrity this is,
I need the panel's final guesses.
Who wants to go first?
You know, I think I might be right on this one.
Because we saw chestnuts roasting.
We think this might be a roast comedian.
I think that now the clue that sealed it
is the Bob Saget clue.
I think that this might be comedian, actress,
and roast professional Whitney Cummings.
Ken: Good guess.
I, too, think that this is a comedian who roasts celebrities
like how your mama's roasting that turkey tonight for Thanksgiving, Nick.
- Um... - What'd you say about my mama?
- How she's roasting the turkey. - Oh, okay.
All right, we saw the comic book clue
'cause she's a comic.
We saw the speed dating because she's hosted dating shows.
All the clues point to Iliza Shlesinger.
All right. Who's next?
I think the most important Snowstorm clue
this season is that we've worked together.
- That's very important and-- - Why is that important?
Because it mattered. It mentioned me.
Now my first film was "Knocked Up," with this person.
There was a live clue for her incredible work on "SNL."
I think Snowstorm is Kristen Wiig.
- I love that guess, Ken. - That's the nicest the crowd has been all season.
The nicest the crowd has been.
Listen, listen. Settle down, turkeys.
Let me tell you,
while I'm really good at this game--
I'm so good that I actually made myself a...
( gobbles ) ...crown, because--
- Oh, my goodness. - Ken: Wait. Wait.
- I got this. - What did you say again?
- ( gobbles ) - Okay. Good, good. Good.
She is a roast comic. She's done Alec Baldwin's comedy roast.
She's also very, very close with Bob Saget.
This is the one, the only, very talented Nikki Glaser.
- Ken: Wow, really? - Nicole: Wow, Jenny.
You did your thing on that, Jenny.
( gobbling )
All great guesses up there.
Let's see if any of you are correct.
Audience, say it with me. Take it off!
- ♪ Who are you? - Take it off! Take it off!
- Take it off! - Take it off!
I want it to be Iliza Shlesinger!
- ♪ Who, who, who, who? - Take it off!
Am I right? Am I right? Am I right? Who is it?
- Take it off! - Oh, my gosh!
- Who is it? - Please let me be right!
- You know what? I gotta say this. - Take it--
- Hold on. Hold on. - ♪ Tell me, who are you
( song stops ) ♪ You...
Let's finish this right after the break.
- What? - Come on!
- Man, you ain't right! - You're the turkey, Nick.
We'll do it after the break!
- ( turkey gobbling ) - ♪ Who is that?
Nick: Welcome back to the show.
It's time to find out who the Snowstorm really is.
Say it with me. Take it off!
- Take it off! - Take it off!
- ♪ I really wanna know - Take it off!
♪ Oh, I really wanna know
- ♪ Come on, tell me, who are you? ♪ - Take it off!
♪ You, you, are you?
Stand-up comedian and roast master Nikki Glaser!
- Whoa! Oh, my God! - Oh! You got it!
- Oh, my God! - Oh, my God, you got it!
- Jenny! - Nick: Our clue expert.
- Jenny knew. - Our queen.
- Wow. Nicely done, Jenny. - Thank you, thank you.
- Wow!
First of all, let's talk about the amazing voice on Nikki Glaser.
- Great job, Nikki! - Oh, thank you.
- Whoo! Yeah! - You're hilarious.
You're amazing on all the shows that you host and have.
But singing, that was really one of your dreams?
It was.
It was the first dream I ever had
in wanting to be a performer.
And it was squashed at such a young age,
and it just became something that was not attainable to me.
So when this opportunity came up, it was so perfect
because I think what held me back
was the fact that I knew that I was a comedian.
Everyone's just like, "Don't sing.
No one wants to hear that.
It's like Michael Jordan playing baseball."
Like, no one needs that from me.
Like, "Go do what you're good at."
And so this show really allowed me to forget
all of the insecurities I had around singing
and really explore my voice.
And it's something I'm so excited to keep doing after this.
Yeah.
Jenny: Can I tell you something, Nikki?
You are so incredibly talented.
You're funny. We all know that.
But your voice is so beautiful,
- and I hope you know now that you got "it." - Thank you, Jenny.
- Nicole: Yeah. - Yes. You can do it all.
You are the consummate entertainer, and you know how much I love you.
- You know how much of a big fan I am of you. - I love you, too.
- You're just incredible. - Thank you so much.
- You guys are so sweet. - Yep, yep.
I mean that with all my heart.
I'm really excited, Nikki, for you to make an album
where you can show your beautiful voice
and make it fun and humorous as well.
Thank you so much, Nicole. Thank you.
Robin, what do you think?
Nick: Yeah, Robin, what do you think?
Waiting for you.
I honestly thought you had the greatest challenge
because of the thing behind you.
- You know, you had to carry-- - Nick?
Is it me or-- me or the snowflake?
- No, this was a lot. Yeah. - Yeah, it's heavy.
Well, I thought you were amazing, and congratulations.
Thank you so much. Thank you, Robin.
Well, it has been a true pleasure
and a joy having you on our show. So much fun.
- Making us laugh. Keeping us on our toes. - I'll miss it so much.
Let's give it up one more time for Nikki Glaser.
- Yay! - Yeah! Yes!
Next time is our season finale.
The Harp and the Lambs have their eye on the prize,
and they'll do anything to take that Golden Mask trophy home.
But right now, let's give it up
for the artist formerly known as the Snowstorm,
the one and only Nikki Glaser!
- Nikki! - Yeah!
♪ I'm with him
♪ I am thinking of you
♪ Thinking of you
♪ What you would do if
♪ You were the one who was
♪ Spending the night
♪ Oh, I wish that I
♪ Was looking into your eyes
- Yes! - Happy Thanksgiving!
- Love you, Nikki! - Thank you, guys! Thank you!
