Nick cannon here, and finally we have something fun involving masks.
Welcome to the season four premiere of our celebrity whosungit.
This is "the masked singer."
how about this amazing new set?
We're really stepping it up for season four, right?
And through the magic of television,
it can all go away like this.
- whoo! - Yeah!
- Whoo! Whoo! - Whoo!
This season, we have a total of 16 masked singers.
- Yes. - And these singers are all fighting for one thing
and one thing only, the golden mask trophy.
- Yay! Whoo! - Yeah.
And here to help, but mostly confuse us,
it's our panel.
Say hello to nicole scherzinger,
dr. Kenny ken-ken jeong.
Flex on 'em. Mrs. Jenny mccarthy wahlberg.
- Oh. Oh, she got you beat. - Oh, my god.
And robin thicke and his luxurious quarantine hair.
- Yes! - Wow! Look at that.
Yes! Go on, quarantine hair.
Wow, the fifth judge, robin's hair.
We're glad to be back. Glad to have you all here.
And this season, for the first time ever,
thousands of superfans across america are getting their chance to vote.
Here's just some of them. Say hello, everyone. What's up?
Yay! Hi!
They'll be voting along with our panel and studio audience
for their favorite singer of the night.
And, speaking of, it's our first super stacked set of singers, group a.
- Ooh. - They are the sun,
giraffe,
popcorn,
dragon,
and our first ever double-header, snow owls.
Wait, what? Two people in one costume?
- Snow owls? - No wonder we won the emmy for costume design.
Okay, enough business. Let's meet our first singer.
Grab your spf because it's high time we soak up the sun.
Oh, my god!
- Oh! - ♪ I'm walking on sunshine ♪
Wow. - ♪ Whoa ♪
- Wow. - ♪ I'm walking on sunshine ♪
- wow, she can move. - 24-karat gold outfit.
Wow! Dainty little thing.
- Hi, sun. - She's awesome.
All right, now, if your mind's partly cloudy with guesses for the sun,
maybe these first few clues will help you see the light.
Rise and shine, friends,
and welcome to my solar sanctuary.
- "gold member." - gwyneth paltrow was in that.
I've had some extreme seasons in my life.
"extreme seasons"? X game athlete, maybe?
When I sprung into existence,
I felt like the center of the universe.
At first, stardom was great.
But it was a ton of pressure.
The spotlight was scorching, and I got burned out,
soaking my fall into a deep depression.
Whoa!
I was frozen.
- "frozen." idina menzel. - Uh-oh.
But within the darkness of a quiet place,
I transformed into a ray of light.
And tonight, I'm springing back to life in this new universe.
Sun's out, buns out.
Here we go, here we go. Season four!

- I'll bow down before the sun. - Nick, I'm freaking out.
- Wow. - What a way to open
season four on "the masked singer," sun.
- Unbelievable. - Wow.
- Whoo! - And who starts off the show a cappella?
- Yes. - Incredible.
My favorite opening so far has been peacock, "the greatest show,"
- and you just topped that. - Yeah.
- Wow. Big words right there. - For real, for real.
The best. Yeah.
Okay, panel, I have a big, big announcement.
Our singers aren't the only ones competing this season.
For the first time in "masked singer" history, so are you.
- What? What? - Right now, I want you to write down
your first initial guess for the sun.
- It's your first impression guess. - What?
You will do this after the first performance for ever singer.
We'll lock them up in our top secret vault...
Vault? - ...Backstage.
- Wait, there's a secret vault? - Yes, a vault.
- What? - Whichever one of you gets the most correct
wins the second most coveted prize in television,
the golden ear trophy.
- Golden ear? Wow. - I want that.
The pressure, nick cannon, the pressure.
Get to it, write it down. Let's see who you think this is.
All right, time's up. Drop them into the vault.
- Vault. - I'm putting mine in.
- I did it. - Can you just give me a second, please?
Having problems sticking it in the slot?
Pretend it's a check and put it in the bank. There you go.
- Great. Yeah, I got it, yeah. - Good job, ken.
All right, tonight's about getting to know our group a contestants,
so I'm gonna start with a simple question to the sun.
How is it being the sun?
Well, when I put this mask on,
I felt like it was a reflection of who I am personally,
- and I like it. - Well, you definitely shined in it.
Are you guys picking up any clues?
Yes. In the package, there was a "frozen" clue,
so it made me think of either idina menzel or kristen bell.
But then I saw a jaguar,
and I was like, "jaguar! Ski, ska... 'cat.'"
- okay, katharine mcphee. - Ooh.
- Kat can sing, y'all. - Kat can sing.
Then it said "gold member." she's married to david foster, my dear friend.
- Has oodles and oodles of gold records, right? - He got lots of gold.
- Oodles. - Yeah.
So she's coming out swinging. I'm thinking it's kat mcphee.
- Great guess. - I like it, I like it. I ain't mad at it.
But to me, I saw mickey mouse ears for a disney star.
- That's right, that's right. - Also this artist went through a really hard time,
and she transformed like she talked about in the package.
Yeah.
So I'm gonna go with demi lovato.
- Yeah. That's a good guess. - Oh, okay.
There it is, there it is. That's a great guess.
I mean, that's a great guess, but it's completely wrong.
And I'll tell you why. If you're looking at the clues, "ray of light."
there's a singer that we all know.
- Oh, don't say it. - Yeah, I think it is.
- Madonna. - Yeah. Let me say it!
Madonna.
And also had a song "frozen" of the same name.
And little known fact, I used to run into madonna,
like, almost every other day at hot yoga in sherman oaks.
Oh, my god, you have never experienced life unless you have done
a downward dog with madonna, so...
You think madonna can sing like that?
Yes, I do. We're gonna have huge stars this season.
I honestly think this could be madonna.
I'm just saying, I'm just saying.
- Ken, I think madonna's a great guess. - Thank you.
Well, listen, sun, no matter who you are, you are a huge star.
- Whoo! - Absolutely.
- Yo, y'all give it up... - Drop it like it's hot.
...And make some noise for the sun.
Go ahead and head backstage.
Tell us if our panel remains in the dark with their sun guesses.
Let us know using that hashtag #themaskedsinger.
- You guys, I literally had goosebumps all over. - That was very strong. Yeah.
Me too. If this is a sign of what season four's gonna be like,
get ready to have a lot of goosebumps on our body.
So good.
♪ Who is that? ♪
Welcome back to the big season premiere of "the masked singer."
- whoo! - This season's cast I was told
has a net worth of over $398 million,
46 grammy nominations...
- Whoo! - ...And three world records.
Plus, we have our first olympic gold medalist...
- What? - ...And oscar nominee in one of the major categories.
- Yeah! - And now to our next mystery,
a music loving mammal.
Unleash the giraffe.

- Whoa! - ♪ She's all right with me ♪
all right, now, here's the first and hopefully
many tall tales about the giraffe.
Step right up, keep going up,
and welcome to my glorious carnival.
I've had a roller coaster career,
full of ups and downs!
So maybe he's been in the industry a long time.
Music is in my blood, but when I stuck my neck out and took a gigantic risk,
I became the butt of everyone's jokes.
Jokes? Is he a comedian?
I was in knots and felt so lonely,
like the party was over.
But that crash and burn drove me to swing even higher.
Swing? Tiger woods, maybe?
With hard work, I drummed up towering success.
Now I'm in the driver's seat,
and I'm off to the races tonight.
That's a wrap.

- come on! - Yes! Yes!
- Wow. - Bringing in that giraffe heat. I'm with it.
Oh, my gosh. Giraffe, kudos to you, man,
because that song is hard.
The rap... you were on it with the rap.
You had your flow, and you getting it started.
Whoo!
There it is.
Now, panel, as you know,
- it's all about the vault time. - Oh, no.
- Yes. - Vault?
Write down your first impression guesses
of who this may be.
I have no idea on this one.
It's gonna be so funny to see how stupid we are later.
- Yeah, mine's bad. - Ah, you get used to it.
All right, let's ask the giraffe a question.
Did you ever imagine that you would be on stage singing as a giraffe?
No, not at all. You know, this has really been fun.
It allows me to have a bit of anonymity, which is nice.
Plus it was a big deal for me
to not have to focus on my vocals.
Plus, it's super sexy.
- Oh, yeah. - I would agree.
- Okay, so he could be a singer. - Yeah.
Ah, so you became the butt of everyone's joke.
Initially I was thinking, like, a comedian
that was trying to do something else
and maybe something dramatic, but you're such a good singer.
Maybe you were trying to do something different,
like garth brooks had an alter ego chris gaines.
Remember that? Garth brooks.
Yeah, yeah. I'm getting a garth brooks vibe.
There's a garth brook vibe. Right, he could... right.
I can't see you because you're so far away, but I'm sure you agree with me.
- Ken, see the giraffe? - Let me finish.
Garth brooks, your wife trisha yearwood
with the knots in the clues, makes delicious garlic knots
- on her food network show. - Yeah!
No, no.
And then I was thinking to myself, you know,
recently garth brooks performed at a drive-in...
Ken, he's going to sleep.
You know what? He's got a lot of attitude just like garth.
I think you're way off, ken.
There was a lot of clues, I think,
that gives me a good starting point here on season four.
- Okay. - Okay, so I think it might be travis barker.
- Hmm. - Hear me out.
That's not bad.
In the clue package, there was carnival barker.
"music is in my blood." "drummed up."
- yeah, "drummed up." - he's a drummer.
- Yeah. - And then, "crash and burn."
- he was in a horrific plane accident. - That's right.
- Maybe. - That's a good guess, but I have another theory.
The whipped up hair. The "that's a wrap."
I think he might be a rapper who also had a crash and burn in his career.
- I'm going with vanilla ice. - Vanilla ice!
- Vanilla ice. - Good one. Yes!
- Too cold, too cold. - Yes.
You guys ever have that where you know you've heard the voice before?
- Yes. - I know sooner or later the face will come to me,
- but I can't put the face to the voice... - that would be every show.
- Darn it. - All right, well, y'all make some noise.
- Yeah! - Great job, giraffe.
Use the hashtag #themaskedsinger and tell us
if our panel was short of giraffe guesses.
- I have no idea who that is. - Yeah.
- He's gotta be somebody super famous to say... - Right.
- ..."anonymity, it's nice." - totally.
It's gonna drive me crazy.

Welcome back to our big season four premiere

now it's time to introduce our next singer.
What goes better with your favorite tv show than some popcorn?

Oh, my gosh. Popcorn!

all right, if you're still searching for even a kernel of a name, no worries.
Here's some helpful clues about this tasty talent.
Hey, all you cool corns and cornettes.
I'm popcorn. Miss popcorn if you're tasty.
Miss jackson if you're nasty.
I'm a real sweet corn with a jumbo-sized heart.
I mean, straight up, I built a career around love.
But that doesn't mean I'm soft.
I'm a hard-corn hustler.
To get where I am, I worked long nights
rushing from one job to the next.
Ooh, meatloaf. Did she sing with him?
Eventually I went from a little puff cutting pictures out of "vogue"
to jet-setting to exotic places with royalty.
Exotic? Is that a reference to joe exotic?
So while you may think I'm a little cheesy,
no, I worked for what I got.

- Oh, my. - Popcorn!
Season four is off to a bang tonight, you guys.
From the very first note, I think I've heard that voice before.
But, wow, was that outstanding.
- My favorite of the night. Wow. - Thank you.
Someone is giving sun some competition tonight.
And now, panel, it's all about you guys' competition right now.
Take out your pen and paper and write down those first impression guesses...
- Oh, nick! - ...On who you believe the popcorn might be.
- Her voice was butter. - You guys got your votes in in the vault?
Yes, sir. Complete.
All right, popcorn, why did you choose this costume?
Well, nick, just like popcorn,
I can be quite buttery at times.
- Okay. - Very salty.
- Yeah. - But I'm also very sweet.
It's like we playing "the dating game."
I felt we should be. I just want to kiss nick.
- Oh! All right. - Oh, that's a clue. That's a clue.
Nick, seems like there might be some history.
If it ain't history, it's gonna be a future, I tell you that.
Oh! Oh! Oh, snap!
All right, guys, are you picking up on any clues from the popcorn?
In the clue package, we saw "proud merry,"
and hearing your voice, of course it could be
the diva herself, tina turner.
Wow. That's a good one.
- She got nice legs. - Yeah, but tina turner, who's a family friend of mine,
she and I are costco members together.
We have a joint membership,
so I don't think it's tina, but it's a great guess.
Oh, really? Then who do you think it is, ken?
Oh, I'm glad you asked.
There was, like, a tiger on the bed.
I mean, there was, like, a king.
She was, you know, tiger king.
Everyone knows her from big cat rescue.
- You know who I think it is? - Who?
Carol baskin. I think it's carol baskin.
- What? What is wrong with you people? - Carol baskin?
- Stay... sing with me. - You think carol baskin has a voice like that?
Stay... you don't know!
Ken, you're upsetting the popcorn,
and she just whispered to me to sit your ass down.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Let's focus, ken. Let's just reel it back in.
- All right. - First of all, just going off of the clues,
I saw hoops in the package. I know this girl is signature for her hoops.
I heard "puff" in the package. Puff is like her brother in the business.
- Oh. - So I'm thinking could this be mary j. Blige?
- We'll take it. - Not bad at all.
- Thank you. - That is a lot better than carol baskin.
Oh, man. How dare you?
Well, popcorn, we don't know who you are,
but we know that you are amazing.
And that's exactly what I was gonna say.
- Keep it going for the popcorn. - Popcorn!
These are our panel's guesses for popcorn.
Take them with a grain of salt.

Hey, welcome to my lair.
Sorry it's a bit humid in here.
As you can see, dressing up in bulky,
outrageous costumes isn't new to me.
- Outrageous costumes. - You would think drag.
And like the dragon, I've always been a fire-breathing beast
on a quest to be the best.
But at first, my fire was dangerous.
Dangerous. Could be a wrestler, like the rock.
Then I got a tip that helped me calm down and switch gears.
And now I got me this shiny treasured den.
They did say we had an olympian.
Tonight I'm coming back on stage

I felt like when you started singing... like, I felt like I knew that voice already.
- Yep. Oh, yeah. - Really?
- You don't, ken? - Look, I'm human, nick.
I'm vulnerable. This is a new year. I just want to show people.
- 2020 changed ken jeong? - "I'm vulnerable."
okay, panel, this is that moment for your first impression guesses.
I go this one right.
Hey, nick, I want you to actually write down a card and put it in the vault.
- Yes! Yes! - Let's just see who's right.
- Yes, jenny. - Someone give me a card.
He could be ken jeong wrong, that's all I'm saying.
All right. Put it in my back pocket.
- Go in the vault later. - There you go.
All right, tell us, what has it been like becoming the dragon?
It's been an incredible experience.
I mean, this whole outfit looking like I am really
one of the most powerful and dominant characters in existence.
There it is. Now, jenny, were you picking up on any clues?
Well, you know, um, when I first saw the dog bone, I thought snoop dogg.
- Ah. - Then I realized there'd be much more smoke around you
it it was snoop dogg.
Your voice has that kind of low, kind of raspy rap,
and it reminded me of dmx.
That makes sense. He was known for the dog references.
- Right. Yeah, and there was an "x" in the package also. - That's right.
- So I'm thinking dmx. - That's a good guess.
Great guess.
Look, I'm a warrior. I'm a fighter.
I fight for my clues.
You know, I just always believe in myself
even when no one else does, so,
in the clue package, there was so much gold.
There were gold medals in that house.
There was water in that house.
And just stay with me,
stopwatch is the timing for all those amazing breast strokes.
He is a beast. Michael phelps, yes.
You really think this is michael phelps?
Freestyle swimming and rapping. That makes sense.
Yeah, I'm not sure about that.
The person that I think it is is one of the most electric
on-stage performers you could ever see.
He's known for his dragons. I'm going with my man busta rhymes.
Yes! Robin, I'm so glad you said that.
- Yeah. - You know why? He also said "dangerous" in the package.
- He got a song called "dangerous." - yep.
- That's right. - So I'm gonna go with busta.
I would love for it to be busta rhymes.
I mean, he's a multi-platinum singing rapper.
But I really don't think he is.
All right, two for busta and one for michael phelps.
Hey, michael phelps is the busta rhymes of his day in swimming.
- I'm not gonna argue with you. - Oh, my goodness.
Because one thing we can definitely say
is this was a gold medal performance.
- Yes, sir. - Y'all give it up for the dragon.
We gonna see you in a little bit, sir.
This is, like, some of our strongest performers ever on this show.
Yeah, who knew michael phelps could rap like that?
Our panel may be dragged through the filth
for their dragon guesses. Tell us what you think.
Ken, now you got a big new show
premiering right after this, right?

But now it's time for a family reunion.
Family reunion? Are they siblings?
- Working with him... - Who?
- You! - Who?
Oh, brother. He's a prankster.
A real wise guy.
- Anything for a laugh. - Ooh! A comedian, maybe?
Like, one December, we were working in sunny hollywood.
I was driving her home singing "let it snow."
his voice was way off-key and I kept begging him to stop.
And I kept egging her on until we finally stopped at her nest.
It was head-spinning. He had it completely covered in snow.
I just wanted to make christmas extra magical.
Ooh, maybe they were in a christmas movie.
So what better way to reunite than as snowy owls?
- You ready to take flight again? - Let's duet.
Oh, my gosh, you guys. I'm so excited.
It's our first duet.

Whoa!
- Oh, yeah! - Oh, my god.
Oh! - Nick: Wow.
Oh, my gosh. What is happening?
Season four is blowing my mind.
Wait. This is the beginning of season four.
This feels like the end of...
Like we're on the finale already, right?
Outstanding. Not only were their voices in sync,
but the way they fell with the lyrics,
the way they both trembled their voices at the same time,
it was utter perfection.
- Outstanding. - Indeed, indeed.
All right, it's time to give your first impression guesses, panel.
- This is twice as hard, nick. - Yeah, I don't know either.
All right, time's up. Stick it in the vault.
There it is. Votes are in for their first impression.
And now, let's talk to the snow owls.
Did you guys ever expect to grace the stage together in one giant egg?
Um, no.
I knew it would happen for me one day because I love wings.
- Ah. - Buffalo, barbecue...
- Yeah, spicy. - ...Wings.
Any kind of wings.
- Oh, he's the prankster. - He's messing with nick.
Yeah, whoa.
I know exactly "who" this is.
But seriously, going off the clues,
we've seen "family reunion," "prankster,"
we've seen christmas clues,
and going off of the quality of the voices,
I have a feeling this is amy grant and vince gill.
- Ooh. - Two amazing singers, married for 20 years.
Amy grant is known for her christmas albums.
- Yep. - I like that guess.
That's not bad, but I immediately thought brother and sister,
sitcom, maybe someone like the bradys, you know?
Maureen mccormick and barry williams.
But after hearing them sing, I think it really could be donnie and marie.
I was totally thinking the same thing
because he's doing the pecking moves just like peacock.
- Yes, nicole! Yes! - No way. He's already been on this show.
This honestly reminds me of my favorite singing comedy duo.
They're in all the christopher guest movies.
There was a rose in the package
and the last name of the family
in their most recent show is rose.
So I think this is eugene levy and catherine o'hara.
Now, wait, knowing catherine in this business,
she would never put on that kind of a hot costume.
But I think because you think she would never do it
is why she does it because you never thought, like, lil wayne would do this.
- You never thought that t-pain would do this. - Yeah, that's true.
I'm gonna be honest. All of you have great guesses for our snow owls.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Give it up for that amazing performance from the snow owls.
Well done.
Does our panel have you a little frosty
on their snow owl guesses?
Tell us what you think.
All right, now we've seen and heard
from all five group a singers,
and the panelists are already calling this
the strongest set of performers
in "masked singer" history.
Now it's time to choose your favorite of the night.
For the first time ever,
our at-home voting audience of superfans
will be voting right alongside our studio audience and panel.
- Here we go. - Oh, no!
- This is crazy. - The singer from group a with the least amount of votes
is...
- Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! - Whoo!
The singer with the least amount of votes,
the first to unmask this season is...
Can't believe we have to say good-bye.
- The dragon. - Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, come on. - I love the dragon.
To the rest of you, congrats.
You have officially advanced to the group a playoffs.
- Whoo! - Dragon!
Head on backstage.
Dragon, man, I'm sorry.
I thought you was gonna rock with us the whole time,
but the world cannot wait to see who's behind this mask.
But first, let us retrieve the panel's first impression guesses from the vault.
No, please don't.
Oh, men in black, bring 'em out.
Now remember, panel, if your first impression guess is correct,
- this is how you win. - I ain't gonna win nothing.
- Jenny? - Yeah?
Your first impression guess
was nfl star adrian peterson.
Yeah.
- Are you in a sinkhole? Are you okay? - Do you need help?
You know, I just thought, you know, minnesota viking.
He's kind of dressed like a viking.
But then after I heard his raspy, gravely voice
and all the dog references and he barks in his songs... dmx.
- All right. Ken? - You don't have to...
You went with marshawn lynch.
Why is that a bad one?
Thank you, nick, but now I honestly can't get my head out
of this being an olympic gold medalist.
In the clue package, there's so much gold in that house.
Michael phelps holds the record for the most ever gold medals.
There's no reason that this can't be michael phelps.
You went from marshawn lynch to michael phelps?
- Yes, I did. - There it is. All right, well, nicole.
- We're all processing that. - Thank you.
Your first impression was busta rhymes.
- Yeah. - Are you sticking with that?
I'm gonna double down on busta.
In the clue package was a statue of liberty. Busta's from new york.
- Yeah. - It also said something about "calm down."
he has that song "calm down" with eminem.
- Yes. - I'm hoping it's busta.
And mr. Robin thicke, your first impression vote was also busta rhymes.
Yes. There was so many good clues.
Outrageous costumes. Nobody in hip-hop wore those kind of costumes.
- And he's outrageous. - And he has three albums with the word "dragon" in it,
so I am almost positive that it is the dragon, mr. Busta rhymes.
- Wow, that's confidence right there. - Go, bus-a-bus!
Okay, let's all see who's behind the mask.
Dragon, show us who you really are.
- Take it off! Take it off! - ♪ Who are you? ♪
♪ Who, who, who, who ♪
♪ who are you? ♪
♪ Who, who, who, who ♪
♪ who ♪
♪ tell me who are you, you, you ♪
♪ who are you? ♪
- Yeah! Yeah! - The one and only hip-hop legend!
- Bus-a-bus! -
my brother, busta rhymes.
- Oh, man. - Bus-a-bus.
- Busta rhymes. - Bus, what was it like being cooped up in that?
I definitely felt like I was in an oxygen tank without oxygen.
But it definitely brought back all of the incredible crazy outfits.
This look like a busta rhymes outfit from back in the day.
- Definitely. - Whoo!
Busta, you know how much I love you.
- I love you, too. - You are rap royalty.
There will never be another artist like you.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you for being on our show.
Thank you so much.
- Wow, thank y'all. - This is really family.
- My brother. - So you know I knew by his walk.
When he walked out, he was like...
- Prove it, prove it, prove it. - You wanna see it?
- Yeah, I wanna see. - Bam! What does that say?
- My big brother busta rhymes. - Busta.
Yeah! Wow.
- Wow. - Now that means nicole and robin,
you guys take an early lead
in the race for the golden ear trophy.
That trophy is mine.
Next week we meet a whole new cast
of crazy characters in group b.
But in the meantime,
here to perform unmasked once and for all,
the artist still known as the dragon, rawr, rawr,
the one and only busta rhymes!
- Hands in the air! - Yeah!
- ♪ don't call it a comeback ♪ - hey!
♪ I been here for years, rocking my peers ♪
♪ putting suckers in fear ♪
♪ making the tears rain down like a monsoon ♪
♪ listen to the bass go boom ♪
