Do we have eyes on the security guard safe entrance?
Three seconds, two...
'Twas the night of the semifinals
and all through the house
all the creatures were stirring,
even Thingamajig was stressed out.
As visions of the Golden Mask dance in their sight,
each singer knows their chances rest on tonight.
‐ ‐ Whoo!
On, Flamingo! On, Leopard!
On Fox, Rott, and Thing!
Alas, the five of you will soon become three.
‐ I'm scared. ‐ I'm scared, too, Robin Thicke.
We're decking the halls with a double reveal,
which means two famous faces will no longer be concealed.
‐ My God! ‐
‐ Whoo! ‐ Who will make it to next week's grand finale?
‐ Amazing. ‐ Sit down, detectives. Time to see who will rally.
You slayed. You slayed like Rudolph.
Who's behind the masks? Even Santa doesn't know.
Hallelujah, with that clue!
Get your festive guesses ready...
‐ I think it's Seal. ‐ Time to let...
‐ Eric Benet. ‐ it...
‐ Jeff Goldblum. ‐ ...snow!
Kenneth, if you were any colder, you'd be in Alaska, darling.
Yes! Drop the mic!

Happy holidays, season's greetings,
and welcome to the Christmas gift
we've all been waiting for,
the semifinals of "The Masked Singer."
After five rounds of amazing talent gracing our stage,
our five best singers are left to fight
for one of the three spots in the finale.
That's right. At the end of this hour,
two of our secret celebrity singers
are going to be unmasked.
‐ Aww. ‐ So let's get together for the holidays
with some friends who are all lit up,
‐ even without the eggnog. ‐ Whoo!
Happy holidays, gang. Y'all ready to do this?
Yes!
All right, we kick off our semifinals
with a character we've grown to love.
Here to fight his way to the finals, it's the Fox.
Performing as a character based strictly on my voice
rather than who I am
is a joy that I don't think I've had in over 20 years.
The anonymity that the mask gives you is so freeing.
It's a chance to prove to myself
and to the people who don't know
that I'm not to be slept on as a vocalist.
‐ Richard. That's his name. ‐ No, it's not.
Making it to the semifinals is the greatest gift
I've gotten in a long time.
It's been the glue that has connected all the parts of my career
and given me a sense of wholeness I've never had before.
Connected all the parts. So, dancing, singing, acting.
This mask has been the great equalizer for me,
and I've come too far to take it off now.

Now that's the way you kick off a holiday show, ladies and gentlemen.
All right, Jenny, talk to the Fox about his performance.
Was it enough to get him into the finals?
I've been a fan of yours since the beginning.
I mean, I'm just moved by your voice, your stage presence.
And, you know, you talked about being a superhero in many of the clips.
I think you might actually be one.
I mean, I'm definitely going to see you in the finals, Mr. Fox.
You slayed. You slayed like Rudolph.
‐ Yeah. ‐ Get it. Get it, Jenny.
- Hey! - I'll give you that.
Now, seeing we are all in the holiday mood,
the singers have each brought you all a gift.
‐ Aww. ‐ Thank you.
‐ Yeah. It's a beautiful thing. ‐ Aww.
Security, where you at?
Ooh, I love gifts.
Ooh. ‐ It's not for you, Ken.
Okay.
‐ All right. ‐ Whoo!
‐ Boom.
All right, Fox. ‐ Joey Fatone?
It's the Rabbit from last season.
My buddy Rabbit came by the foxhole
and told me I would have just as great a time as he did.
And, boy, was he right.
‐!
All right, so he's friends with Joey Fatone.
Or could be a member‐‐ a member of NSYNC.
Maybe in the same band, maybe.
‐ Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
My God! Are there any other clues
that you guys are picking up on,
even out of the package as well?
You know what? Jamie Foxx's serious show is called "The Foxhole."
Yeah, and Joey Fatone goes by there all the time.
Look, I've been saying Jamie Foxx all along.
And Jenny's jumping on the bandwagon, but I have better logic.
Okay, look at the clue package, all right?
Palm trees. He was in "Miami Vice." That has palm trees.
All right? And this is a serious fact‐‐
okay, yeah, you can take a seat.
‐ Thank you. Right? ‐ He's taking a nap.
You're putting the Fox to sleep.
No, no, we're good.
You know, little known fact. Jamie Foxx is not his real name.
That's true. ‐ His original name, look it up‐‐
in the clue, Richard Bland. That's his name.
‐ That's not his real name. ‐ That's his real name. Look it up!
I'm not getting Jamie's voice, though.
‐ I just don't hear Jamie's timbre. ‐ I won and I'm undefeated!
He's never won. Not won one yet.
In my opinion, I think the clues have been all over the place.
We've heard things about him having a 30‐year career,
but I've been just focusing in on the vocal tone, the stage presence,
and somebody who's a multi‐dimensional performer.
‐ And I think it's Wayne Brady. ‐ Jenny: I think it's a great guess.
People agree with you. ‐ Yeah? But it said in the clue package
not to be slept on as a vocalist.
We pretty much know him as an actor, a great actor,
but we do know him as a great singer,
so I know I said this before, but I was thinking Tyrese?
- Yeah. - Very good guess.
Can Tyrese dance? ‐ Yeah.
And Tyrese has an amazing voice.
‐ Yes. ‐ And was Tyrese's real name Richard Bland?
‐ I don't think so. ‐ No!
‐ What? ‐ Jamie's name, real name, is not Richard Bland.
‐ What is it? ‐ It's Eric Marlon Bishop.
‐ Agree to disagree. Agree to disagree. ‐ Wow.
One thing we do know is that that performance was amazing.
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the Fox.
Our panel thought one of these smooth singing celebrities
might be under the Fox mask.
Do you agree?
‐ Don't go anywhere. ‐ Whoo!
Four more of your favorites fight for a spot in the finals.
That was your best performance yet.
You're just so talented!
This is gonna be a very hard finale.
And not one, but two stars are unmasked.
The time has come for the biggest vote yet.
‐ Take it off! ‐
Don't miss it.
♪ Who is that behind the mask? ♪
Ho, ho, ho, and welcome back to the holiday semifinals of "The Masked Singer."
Next up, singing his heart out for a spot in the finale,
it's the Rottweiler.
Being in the costume is maybe the most present I've been.
It's like everything else shuts out
and I'm able to just be.
I wish you could see my face in the mask because, like,
I'm smiling ear to ear.
This time of year, I'm always home with family,
so it's hard being away and keeping this all a secret.
Maybe has kids.
But I know it'll all be worth it when I see
the surprised look on my family's faces.
They're the reason I'm here.
A passport. Passport. Ooh.
We don't have a dog now,
but I'm pretty sure this is going to make us get one.
The Rottweiler has become an extension of me
and I'm eating it up.
I'm loving it. I don't want it to end.

Wow! Who is this?
The Rottweiler got 'em all barking in the building.
I love hearing your voice.
The passion that you have.
You just brought the house down.
I mean, this is such a big deal
because this show is the semifinals.
We're gonna have to say good‐bye to two people today,
‐ and that's gonna be so heart‐breaking. ‐
I really don't believe you're one of them.
I really hope not because your voice deserves to be in the finals.
Yes!
All right, it's gift‐giving time.
‐ Let's bring out the gift. ‐
All right.
- ‐ Wow. - My gosh!
I believe handmade is always better than store bought,
so thank you all for the love.
I wrote you a letter.
"Dear Robin, Jenny, Ken, and Nicole,
happy holidays to my new friends, Rott."
There's gotta be a clue in that. ‐ Absolutely.
We saw‐‐ he did make us art before.
I mean, I did say James Franco before.
But the clues that we've gotten through the weeks
have been a Baby Bjorn.
You're very much into meditation.
And someone that would maybe remind me of that
is the guy that took over for Steve Perry in Journey,
- ‐ Arnel Pineda. - That's a good guess.
He has an amazing voice.
‐ He also had four kids. ‐ He has an unbelievable voice,
but I don't think that's him.
In the clue package, he was home with his wife and kids.
I know that this person just got married.
He doesn't have kids, but if I'm going off of the voice,
I always thought it reminded me of Darren Criss.
I agree with you, Nicole.
When I hear the Rott sing,
I can't get his voice out of my head.
Yeah. I just‐‐ there's just nothing that‐‐
I don't know. This is a hard one.
You know when Ken Jeong is quiet, we're confused.
Yeah, definitely.
Well, one thing we do know, that was an amazing performance.
Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the festive Rottweiler.
Our panel's guesses were all over the place for the Rottweiler.
And if his performance barked up the wrong tree,
we might find out if they're right.
I'm dying to know who this is.
Yes.
Welcome back to the special
holiday semifinals of "The Masked Singer."
It's our most revealing show yet,
and two of our final five will head home.
Up next, gunning for a spot in the finals,
it's the Thingamajig.
Making it to the semifinals
just in time for the holidays
feels like the greatest gift I could ever ask for.
Hearing the panel's praise has been so humbling,
especially after a tough year
with a lot of obstacles and adversity.
‐ So this year he's gone through something. ‐ To rehab.
And this time of the year,
I'm always reminded about what's most important.
My family.
My parents came here with nothing,
and they taught me the key
to the American dream is hard work.
‐ What type of constellation was that? ‐ Taurus.
‐ So whatever I do, I gotta do it 110%. ‐
I never take the sacrifices they made for granted.
A majig always finishes what they start.
I cannot let this performance be my last.
There's a knee brace there in the clue, right?
It could be a NBA player.
No.
Yeah, here we go now.

- ‐ Aww, so cute! - Yes!
Wow. ‐ Thingamajig!
Turning up for the holidays.
Mr. Robin Thicke, talk to Thingamajig.
You know, I've been one of your biggest fans since the very first time you sang,
but as we're getting down to the semifinals now,
this is the holiday special, so you really have to bring it on this one.
You brought your A‐game tonight. Great job.
Indeed. Security, it's time to give us the gift.
Ooh, what'd I get? What'd I get? What'd I get?
Ooh.
Now, you can tell a lot by the gifts that we give, so...
‐ A hat and a whip? ‐ Is that Indiana Jones?
‐ It is. ‐ While I am a massive movie buff,
‐ this clue involves a little more digging. ‐ Digging.
A little more digging.
You were born that year the movie was made, maybe.
- ‐ I know exactly who this is. - God. Here we go.
Okay, this is "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Indiana Jones.
I am a huge NBA buff.
I think this could be someone who played for the Indiana Pacers.
Someone who is known in NBA circles.
And let me tell you, the best singer in the NBA circles
is Victor Oladipo.
He actually had a knee injury that kept him on the sidelines.
Out of all of your rants, that one actually made a lot of sense.
Yeah, but I think when I hear that voice,
I mean, that's a singer, you know?
So I'm gonna stick with the tallest man in music,
‐ and that's Montell Jordan. ‐ Montell Jordan, absolutely.
Now, Nicole, after weeks of clues from your boo‐thing here,
any clues of who it actually might be?
I mean, we've said some clues in the past
that made us think it could be Dennis Rodman.
Would you date Dennis Rodman?
Wow. This place has never been more silent.
I'm actually happy with him being Thingamajig.
You were like that last season with Monster.
‐ I see a pattern. ‐ Nicole is into furry things.
All right, well, ladies and gentlemen,
one thing we do know, this furry thing right here
just gave us a winter wonderful performance.
So cute!
Our panel thought one of these tall celebrities
might be under the Thingamajig mask.
Do you think they're right?
Next up in the fight for the finals,
the last woman still standing in the competition,
the artist we know around here as the Flamingo.
Last night, when I found out I was in the semifinals,
I was hysterically crying inside of my mask.
‐ Aww. ‐ I know it sounds crazy,
but I was just so proud of myself.
I loved nothing more than singing in my church choir growing up.
But it always just a hobby,
and I was afraid I'd fail if I took it any further.
Making it this far is proof I didn't fail.
Holidays are my favorite time of year
because I get to be with the people I care about,
the people who believed in my talent...
‐ Are those cupcakes? ‐ ...even when I didn't.
All I want for Christmas this year
is to make them proud.
So with a little sass and a lot of tail feather,
this bedazzled beak is gonna win that Golden Mask.

- ‐ Whoo! - Wow.
Hallelujah, indeed.
Keep it going for the Flamingo, ladies and gentlemen.
‐ Definitely took us to church. ‐ Whoo!
Mr. Robin Thicke, tell us,
was this a finale‐worthy performance?
There have been some amazing performances and some amazing vocals,
but that was the first chill that went up and down my spine on this season.
‐ Yeah. ‐ So I think that you are flamingo‐ing to the finals.
Thank you very much.
We can tell a lot by the gifts we give.
So it's time to give that gift.
Security, bring it on out, please.
‐ Ooh. ‐ Whoa, whoa.
‐ Israel. ‐ Wow.
What? ‐ I was baptized in Israel.
‐ Wow. ‐
Calm down, Nicole.
The spirit done hit you now.
Hallelujah with that clue!
Balls to the wall. ‐ Hallelujah.
Jenny, make some sense out of this, please.
I'm taking it 'cause I want it so bad.
To me, she has a very recognizable voice.
Along with the clues we kind of saw today,
we saw a luggage that had a cheetah print on it.
‐ Yeah. ‐ And I think this is someone that was a Cheetah Girl,
who has an amazing voice.
So I'm sticking with Adrienne Bailon, girlfriends!
Yes. I mean, look,
it could also be Sabrina Bryan
from The Cheetah Girls as well.
But because I know her, I am with Jenny on this one
as soon as I saw the clue, because I know Adrienne's husband is named Israel.
‐ That's what I was thinking when I saw that. ‐.
I think you guys are all wrong.
Bear with me. Jessica Simpson, all right,
‐ started out in a church choir, okay? ‐.
And also, guess what.
She once stayed at a Ritz Carlton in Florida,
where she came across some flamingos.
But what about the Israel clue?
She is a lover of maps and globes.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Jessica Simpson.
You know, for a Ken Jeong, though, that's not terrible.
‐ Thank you. Nicole? ‐ Yeah, I guess so.
All right, there it is.
And she definitely brought the spirit,
whoever she is up under there.
Ladies and gentlemen, say hallelujah to the Flamingo.
Jenny and Nicole are convinced they know who's behind the Flamingo mask.
Do you think they're right?
You guys, I can't believe two people go today.
‐ What? ‐ I am so stressed out. Guys!
♪ Who is that? ♪
♪ Who is that behind the mask?
Seasons greetings from "The Masked Singer" semifinals.
‐ Whoo! ‐ It's time for our final singer of the night.
Will he be able to secure a spot in the finals?
Let's all look for some clues about the Leopard.
It's funny. I came here initially so my cubs would think I'm cool.
So being here in the semifinal
should be giving me major street cred.
Kids. He's got his cubs.
My long and storied career
began with a nativity play at 11 years old.
So every holiday season, I'm reminded of the kid inside who loved to perform.
Who would have thought that years later,
I would fall in love with performing as a leopard?
It's almost like becoming this character has given me
the childhood I never had.
Canceled? CD got canceled?
I do everything in my power to make sure my cubs
have it better than I did.
I don't always get it right,
but being a father makes me prouder than anything else.
So while being here has been an opportunity
to remind the world of my talents,
the greatest gift will be watching my cubs' faces
when I finally unmask.
But I don't want to shed this disguise
until I'm crowned the winner!

Got Nicole and the rest of the gang on their feet.
I have to say, for the semifinals,
this cat came to fight.
That was your best performance yet.
Right? And you know what time it is?
It's gift‐giving time. Security, bring out the Leopard's gift.
Ooh.
Ooh, what is it?
Well, as you all know,
Nicholas and I recently got married.
This is our future home?
These are the blueprints, Nicholas,
where you and I can be so purr‐fect together.
‐ My gosh! ‐ Nick: That's a very nice home, though.
We will be very happy together.
Maybe he has something to do
with architecture or being an architect.
Maybe, but, you know,
based off the clues, he's a vegan,
kind of tired of hearing about their famous ex.
I know, Nick. You guys have a lot in common.
Let's not talk about her.
My gosh!
Okay, so I'm going to stick with last week's choice, which was Eric Benet.
He has kids. Also in the spotlight,
married to someone that was famous,
and kind of has that tone of voice.
- Not a bad guess. - Okay.
I'm just stretching out
because I want to tell you
I know exactly who this is.
All right, we've been focusing on singers,
but I'm also thinking of tall actors who could sing.
Like, maybe Jeff Goldblum? Think about that.
I just blew your minds, all right?
He's been a great actor in so many movies that I love,
‐ like "Jurassic Park"‐‐ ‐ Kenneth, Kenneth, Kenneth.
Kenneth, if you were any colder,
you'd be in Alaska, darling. Stop, please.
‐ Yes! Drop the mic! ‐ Finally. Alaska, baby!
No, no, no. That's exactly what Jeff Goldblum would do.
Nicole? ‐ Okay, so this person does have several little cubs.
They are vegetarian. They love tennis.
And I've said it before, I think it's Seal.
- It's not Seal. - I agree with Nicole.
‐ Why do you think it's Seal? ‐ Fight! Fight! Fight!
I don't know. I've heard Seal's voice.
I'm a big "Kissed By A Rose" fan, and I just‐‐
I hear the tone of his voice underneath that Leopard beauty.
Well, one thing, ladies and gentlemen,
we know this was a big performance from my spouse,
but was it enough to make it to the finals?
We'll find out. Give it up for the Leopard.
The panel is split on who could be under the Leopard mask.
Who do you think it is?
All right, we've seen all five
of our performers in tonight's semifinals,
but only three can sing on in next week's finale.
So now the time has come
for the biggest vote yet on "The Masked Singer."
It ain't gonna be the Flamingo and it ain't gonna be Leopard.
Studio audience and panel, vote now.
You will be voting for your favorite performer of the night.
The two performers with the least amount of votes
will take it off and head home tonight.
It's too hard.
The votes are in.
The first of two singers who must take it off
in a heart‐breaking elimination
just one week shy of our finale is...
‐ I'm scared. ‐ I'm scared, too, Robin Thicke.
The first of two singers who must take it off is...
‐ Thingamajig. ‐!
‐ ‐ Nicole.
Keep it going for Thingamajig.
The rest of you, don't get too comfortable
because one more of you will be unmasked tonight.
Awesome job.
Thing! Thing! Thing!
So sad for Thingamajig.
Of course, we love you,
and we are so sorry to see you leave.
But we're super excited
to see this famous face finally, right?
‐ That's right. ‐ Yes.
But first, panel, you guys gotta give us your final guesses.
Who do you believe is behind this mask?
First of all, I just want to say
I'm sad that you're standing there right now,
but I hope you're proud,
because you have an amazing and beautiful voice.
You should be very proud, Thingamajig.
Okay, so based on the clues, you're definitely
an NBA all‐star basketball player.
It's not like I know a ton of them,
but there's one, Paul George from the Clippers.
‐ Yeah, the new addition. ‐ He's also known for fashion.
Nicole. ‐ Okay. If I go off of the clues,
NBA all‐star, MVP, Maryland‐‐
and a basketball player from Maryland is Markelle Fultz.
He's had a tough year and he's not married, so‐‐
‐ That's right. ‐ I think it's my future husband Markelle Fultz.
That's a good one. ‐ Robin: But he can't sing like that.
You know, I've been hearing the tone of voice.
I'm going with the height, a quality vocalist.
There was also clues about "This Is How We Do It"
‐ and "Tonight's The Night" in the package. ‐ Yeah.
So I'm going with the tallest singer that I know, and that's Montell Jordan.
- Yay! - Yeah! I like it.
All right, Dr. Ken, you know exactly who this is.
‐ No, he does not. ‐ I do.
I think this is the star of the Indiana Pacers.
I think this is someone who had a knee injury,
which is why he hasn't been dancing so much.
This is someone who had a rough year.
I honestly think it's Victor Oladipo.
‐ Boom, boom. ‐ No.
It's a great guess, but Victor's more like 6'4", 6'5".
‐ Thank you. ‐ But that's with Nick. Nick is 4'8", all right?
But you don't get any right.
So the fact that you think you're right right now
and you're so wrong is hilarious to me.
How dare you?
There it is. We have your final guesses,
so it's time to see who's right.
Thingamajig, we all want to know, who are you?
‐ Take it off! ‐ ♪ Who are you? ♪

First of all, well,
I can't believe I got anything right, so first of all‐‐
We can't either. If I'm going to get anyone right, honestly,
to get Victor Oladipo, because I am just a huge fan of yours.
‐ Thank you. Thank you. ‐ And I'm just so glad you're doing better.
And you have an amazing voice!
Because when I first heard it,
I had no idea.
You're just so talented!
Thank you. I appreciate it.
You just shocked the entire world.
How does it feel to finally reveal yourself
and to reveal your talent?
Man, it feels great.
It has been a rough year for me,
but to be able to come out here
and put smiles on people's faces here
and just do something fun for once
and kind of get away from the game has been awesome,
so it's nothing but a blessing for me.
‐ There it is. ‐ Aww.
I think the burning question though
that everyone wants to know
is will you go on a date with Nicole?
Of course.
We can go anywhere, any time, any place.
Anywhere, any time, any place. ‐ Boom.
Sounds like a song lyric to me.
But right now, to sing an encore unmasked in all his glory,
the artist formerly known as Thingamajig!
Give it up for Victor Oladipo!

We're back on the semifinals of "The Masked Singer."
I am proud to be standing
with four of our greatest singers ever.
But only three can sing again in our grand finale.
And our final singer
who must head back to their celebrity home is...
Please don't be my favorite.
Leopard!
Aww! ‐ My God!
Keep it going for the Leopard, ladies and gentlemen.
The rest of you, congratulations.
You've made it to next week's grand finale.
‐ Leopard! ‐ Keep it going for the Leopard.
‐ He looks hurt for real. ‐ I bet he is.
Leopard! Leopard! Leopard!
Leopard, you know we love you. No need to cry.
I thought he'd be going to the finals. ‐ I know. I'm shocked.
We're proud that you've come so far,
and we're excited that we finally get to see who you are.
But first, detectives, I'm gonna need you guys
to put on record, finally, who you believe this is.
You've been an amazing addition to this season,
‐ and one of our highlights, no question. ‐ Yeah.
You've been in character the whole time,
and I had no idea who you were
the first couple of performances.
But I do feel like I recognize that very famous magical tone of yours.
I think it's Seal.
All right. That'd be amazing.
- ‐ Yes, it would. - I agree.
I believe this person, they have an English accent.
And I believe they have a diploma in architecture,
and I think it's Seal as well.
I don't think so. Based off the clues,
a family man in the headlines,
kind of tired of hearing about your famous ex.
Also wanted to remind people of how awesome you are.
So I'm gonna stick with Eric Benet.
There it is. Dr. Ken?
I think this is a very committed actor
who delivered a great character
as well as a great performance.
I think he's a father with a famous ex.
Geena Davis. I think this is Jeff Goldblum.
Well, panel, your final guesses are in.
Time to see who's right and who's wrong.
Leopard, please take this damn thing off.
‐ ♪ Who are you? ♪ ‐ Take it off!
‐ Take it off! Take it off! ‐ ♪ Who, who, who, who ♪
♪ Who are you? ♪
Don't let Ken be right twice.
‐ ♪ I really wanna know ♪ ‐ ♪ Who ♪
‐ Take it off! ‐ Two for two!
♪ Are you? ♪
There he is!
The legendary, iconic,
Grammy Award‐winning Seal!
My man! I knew it was you.
‐ Whoo! ‐ Wow. We are in the presence of greatness once again.
Man, you had us all going with the getup.
You were in character the whole time.
Tell me about this experience.
Well, it's certainly one that I won't forget, that's for sure.
But it was a lot of fun, and I'm kind of sad that it's over.
- ‐ Aww. - So are we, man.
Obviously, you've performed on stages all across the world,
but you did this for your children, man.
‐ And that's an amazing thing. ‐ That's amazing.
They actually are huge fans of this show,
and I thought that this would be
a great opportunity to make them laugh,
and, obviously, make myself laugh.
‐ Wow. ‐ You're such a legend,
and it's just an honor for us to have you.
Thank you.
You've just given this show so much credibility
that someone of your caliber could come and bless us
and have fun with it and not take themselves so seriously.
So we thank you for that, man. Thank you.
And you were a really good sport.
Ladies and gentlemen, unmasked once and for all,
the artist formerly known and loved as the Leopard,
‐ it's Seal! ‐ Whoo!
