“The Masked Singer” Finale unmasked their Top 3 finalists when Peacock, Bee and Monster each performed for the last time before naming the winner. Before the unmasking, the season reviewed the 9 celebrities in since the season started. The already unmasked celebrities were Hippo – Antonio Brown, Pineapple – Tommy Chong, Deer – Terry Bradshaw, Poodle – Margaret Cho, Raven – Rickie Lake, Unicorn – Tori Spelling, Alien – La Toya Jackson and Lion – Rumor Willis.
After the Top 3 performed their last number, the eliminations began. In third place was Bee who turned out to be Gladys Knight, second place was Peacock who was revealed to be Donny Osmond and winner Monster who was revealed to be T Pain.
Hosted by Nick Cannon, with panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke, “The Masked Singer” is a top-secret celebrity singing competition that will have everyone asking, “who’s behind the mask?!” Based on an international format, and already a viral phenomenon with over half a billion fans worldwide, the series features celebrities facing off against one another with one major twist: each singer is shrouded from head to toe in an elaborate costume, complete with full face mask to conceal his or her identity. With each performance, the host, panelists, audience, viewers and even the other contestants are left guessing who is singing behind the mask. Although the celebrities’ identities are a mystery, between them they have a combined 65 Grammy Award nominations, 16 Emmy Award nominations, four stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and four Super Bowl titles. The singers may attempt to throw the crowd off of their scent, while keen observers might pick up on tiny clues buried throughout the show. One singer will be eliminated by the audience and judges each week, based on their performance, and will then reveal his or her true identity. It’s not a “whodunit,” it’s a “whosungit!”
“The Masked Singer” has already been renewed for Season 2.
