- Whoo! - Audience, are you guys ready?

- Yes! - Yeah!

- We're ready! - Well, let's get going.

Miss cleocatra bewitched us all in the group b premiere.

Let's take a look at this fierce feline's masked singer debut.

♪ I can't help

Cleocatra: I really caused a storm last time.

- I was the cat's meow. - ( vocalizing )

That was extraordinary.

I'm thrilled to be here tonight to champion fierce girl groups.

You know, I had my own gang of great women that shaped me,

Starting with my own mother.

She was a maid so I didn't have to be.

But the best gift I ever got from her was her work ethic.

It made me the hardest hustler in tinseltown.

- Bette midler. - Whoopi goldberg!

Could she have co-starred with both?

Now all the brightest stars look to me,

Including michelle obama and her mother!

But I'm most proud of the little princesses who see me as their queen.

I want them to know if they want to be supreme,

Free your mind and work harder than anyone else.

And thanks, ma, for showing me that!

- It's a diva. Right? - Someone who is an icon.

♪ free your mind

- Yes, honey! - Nice!

♪ I wear tight clothing, high-heeled shoes ♪

♪ it doesn't mean that I'm a prostitute ♪

Nick: Y'all keep it going for miss cleocatra.

So amazing.

- Wow, look at her sashaying. - Wow.

- Look at that. Wow! - True diva.

- Yes! - Look at that, nick.

- That's right. - Yes!

- Amazing. - Ken: Royalty!

- Nick: So regal. - Yes!

- Right? - What a way to kick it off, right?

- Whoo! - Thank you.

- The dance moves. The dance moves. - The moves!

- The kicks! - I was just looking at the kick

- And it was just going unh, unh! - ( laughing )

I was like, okay! You did not come to play. The claws came out.

Indeed, and speaking of coming out,

For our clues tonight, members of world-renowned

Girl groups are going to help us out.

From wilson phillips and season eight's the lambs,

The legendary carnie wilson.

- Ken: Yeah! Yes! - ♪ come on, baby, come on, baby ♪

- Wow. - ♪ you knew was time to just let go ♪

♪ 'cause we wanna be free

♪ but somehow it's just not that easy ♪

♪ oh, oh, oh

- Great to see you. Welcome back. - Hi!

- Thank you. Hi! - Wow.

- Hi, jenny! - A member of the family is in the building.

So for our clues, we're gonna play a little masked singer game.

It's an original game we call "clue-ee-okie."

- Clue-ee-okie? - Love it.

- I love that. - Nick: You'll serenade us with a girl group song

That is a clue to our celebrity's true identity.

- Ah. - Oh, yeah!

- You guys ready for this? - Yes, yes, yes.

- Robin: Okay. - Rita: Yeah.

- Ken: Yes. - Let's give it up for carnie.

Jenny: Yay!

- Nick: She gonna hit the stage. - Thanks, carnie!

- Oh, I'm excited, yeah! - Nick: Carnie wilson,

Whenever you're ready, queen.

♪ stop in the name of love

- Ken: Whoa! - Jenny: What?

♪ before you break my heart

♪ stop in the name of love

♪ before you break my heart

Ken: Yeah, carnie! Yeah!

- Nick: Carnie wilson. - Yeah!

Miss cleocatra, what can you tell us about that clue right there?

Well, the supremes aren't just on my playlist.

( laughs )

They're a part of my career!

- Whoa! - Nick: Oh. That's a good clue.

- Part of my career. - What?

I mean, maybe you are from the same era as the supremes.

Like, the big divas.

- Who you thinking then? - The bette midler clue,

She wrote a song for this lady--

"something your heart has been telling me."

And I kind of feel like the voice is so familiar to me.

I'm gonna say roberta flack.

- Ken: Whoa! - Oh!

- Jenny: I like roberta flack. - Wow.

- Ken: That would be incredible. - Rita: Yeah.

That is one diva we have yet to have on this show.

- Ken: Yeah. - Well, I'm on this the supremes translation to "dream girls."

And I think the gold wedding band is because she was also

In a movie called "jumping the broom."

So I think that this is the amazing loretta devine.

- Oh! - Ken: That's a great guess.

I'll second that. Ken, what are you feeling?

I'm just going deeper with the supreme girls clue.

Maybe even like down the lineage,

Maybe someone like tracee ellis ross.

But I think miss cleocatra could be the matriarch

Of the tracee ellis ross show "black-ish."

I think this could be jenifer lewis.

- ( crowd cheering ) - if you think about that--

Maybe!

Jenifer sang back-up for bette midler.

She also co-starred in "sister act"

- With whoopi goldberg. - Yes.

So it's very possible we could be in the presence of greatness--

- Jenifer lewis. - That's for sure.

That would be amazing.

- I freed my mind, nick. - Yes.

- And then the rest followed. - Robin: Yeah.

Okay, that's funny.

All right, miss cleocatra,

That was paw-sitively incredible.

- Men in black, come on out here... - Rita: Bye, queen!

...And help our queen out. Take the queen to her chambers.

- Yes! - So regal.

She walks just like you, nick. She walks just like you.

Not a bad guess. Not bad.

Thank you. That's all I ever wanted.

- Not bad! Not crazy. - Oh, my god!

That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said on the show to me.

♪ free your mind

Welcome back to a supremely

Spectacular girl group night here on "the masked singer."

- Yeah! - In the group b premiere,

Our high-fiver duo had the audience on their feet.

Are they in for a "re-beet" performance tonight?

We'll see. Let's take a look, maybe get a clue along the way.

Last time we really brought it home.

- ♪ let me go home - ♪ let me go home

- That was a beautiful. - That was just perfect.

- Wow. - So the pressure's on

To pay homage to the ladies tonight.

Like the best girl groups out there,

We both bring our own spice.

- I was the total ladies man. - And I was tough guy.

Two guys who couldn't be any more different.

- ( laughing ) - but we didn't try to out-do each other.

Instead, like a good girl group, we teamed up.

Just like me and you, ken.

It was our organic friendship

That made us a delicious duo

And kept us on menus nationwide.

Yeah, we're still touring, hitting the town.

- Is that a bread castle? - Maybe they're on my side of the world.

We'd be so excited to make it to the group b finale.

And tonight is the night we're gonna make it happen.

Hello! I did not expect that. I'm your biggest fan.

I love you more and more every time I see you.

You're so jolly, so cute,

And I just wanna hang out with you guys.

What an amazing performance!

Indeed. Let's get a clue from another

Universally-acclaimed girl grouper.

Please welcome season two's black widow,

- The one and only raven-symoné. - Yeah! Raven!

Hey! Yes!

Raven is back!

- Wow. - Hi, raven!

Nick: Now as you know, raven,

We are playing clue-ee-okie right now.

The stage is yours. Hit us with a girl group song.

Dj, spin it back.

( music playing )

Oh, I love this song!

♪ I lose all control and something takes over me ♪

- Crowd: ♪ in a daze and it's so amazing ♪ - sing it!

- ♪ your love is so sweet - what it do?

- ♪ it knocks me right off of my feet ♪ - ken: Wow!

- ( vocalizing ) - ow!

Nick: So, beets, what can you tell us

About that swv "weak" clue?

- We made our audience weak in the knees... - On broadway.

- Broadway! - You guys picking up on any clues?

- I'm having a tough time with this. - Me, too.

Because tonight I'm picking up more of a country vibe a little bit.

- Really? - A little bit, yeah.

I think the broadway stage clue has to do with nashville

And they had a christmas album, hence the christmas clue.

So I'm thinking, could it be brooks & dunn?

- Ken: That's a great guess. - Jenny: That's a great guess.

Okay, that broadway clue makes me think of two broadway stars

Who are also co-stars on the show "schmiga-goon." what is it called?

- "schmigadoon!" - "schmigadoon!" yes!

- Great show. - And I feel like

It's titus burgess and alan cumming.

- Ken: Great guess. Yes. - Jenny: Right?

- Ken: Absolutely. - Nick: All right.

Maybe they are actors and they kind of went to musical theater school.

They might just have really good training, but then they ended up acting.

They're really good together.

Could it be zach braff and donald faison from "scrubs?"

Oh, they can go. They're very talented.

Well, I don't know who you guys are,

But I am so excited you're here.

- Robin: Yeah! - Jenny: Yes!

Nick: All right, well, keep it going for them,

'cause that was hard to "beet" right there.

That's right, nick.

Men in black, help them out. Take them backstage.

Go plant yourselves down somewhere.

They're still excited.

♪ who is that?

Man on pa: All right, here we go.

Can I tell you?

I wrote a song for my girl band on my block.

- Are you kidding me? - It sounds like this.

♪ it's Saturday night and I wanna start a fight ♪

- ♪ it's Saturday night - ♪ and I wanna start a fight

It's girl group night here at "the masked singer," y'all.

- Yeah! - Gumball's bubble almost burst in his debut.

But he turned that dial around in the smackdown.

Let's take a look at this colorful character in the group b premiere.

You all got my heart beating last time with all of your love.

And that smackdown? That was wicked fun.

♪ ding, dong, the wicked witch is dead ♪

It's exciting to perform on girl group night

Because there's actually one girl who's been singing lead

In my life for years-- my wife.

I still remember the night I met her,

An angel from across the room.

I knew right then and there,

I would spend the rest of my life with her.

And everything was perfect

Until she was diagnosed with a disease

That will impact her later in life.

- Aw. - Oh, no.

Suddenly, the forever that we were planning

Looked very different, and we had a decision to make.

We could let what's on the horizon define us

Or we could choose to be present each and every moment,

To say yes more and explore all of the wide open spaces out there.

And tonight, I'm singing

One of her favorite songs just for her.

That's so sweet.

♪ who doesn't know what I'm talking about? ♪

♪ who's never left home? Who's never struck out? ♪

♪ to find a dream and a life of their own ♪

Aww.

♪ a place in the clouds, a foundation of stone ♪

♪ many precede and many will follow ♪

♪ a young girl's dream no longer hollow ♪

♪ it takes the shape of a place out west ♪

Wow.

Such a powerful and emotional performance right there.

Jenny: Beautiful, beautiful!

I know that you're married to your beautiful wife.

She must be so proud to hear you sing that song.

It's one of her favorite songs, you said.

You won our hearts tonight as well.

- Yeah. - What an amazing, beautiful performance tonight.

- I love you gumball. Great job. - Great job, great job.

Nick: A powerful performance indeed.

And, panel, let's get a clue, shall we?

For another round of clue-ee-okie,

Welcome back the amazing carnie wilson.

- Whoo! - Carnie!

- Take it away, carnie. - Carnie!

♪ don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me? ♪

♪ don't you wish your girlfriend was a freak like me? ♪

- ♪ don't cha? - All right.

- "don't cha" from the pussycat dolls. - Both: "don't cha."

Sending some love to nicole scherzinger with that one.

- That's a little clue, huh? - Love you, nicole!

Well don't you wish you could've starred with channing tatum like me?

- Ooh! - Oh!

All right, well, that's a good clue.

You guys picking up on anything?

Rita: You know, you definitely threw us a curve ball

With that "don't cha" song.

'cause I felt like the song was so emotional,

And then obviously you had that clue.

So I'm actually really all and everywhere all at once,

But, you know, I think this person is an actor.

I think he played with channing tatum in "bullet train" if I'm correct.

So I'm gonna go with aaron taylor johnson.

- Jenny: Ooh. - Okay.

- Ken: Maybe. - All right.

Jenny, let me hear it. What you got?

You know, last time he danced like a maniac.

- Like, he was like-- - yeah, good moves.

Right? Like, boy band good.

- Oh, oh, oh, oh! - Look at him! Lookit, lookit, look.

- Oh! Oh! - Ken: Oh, my god.

Go, gumball! Go, gumball!

Told ya. But there's only one guy I know

That can dance like that and also sing like that.

- And that is derrick hough. - Rita: Yeah!

The bowling ball of earth?

Uh, hello? "world of dance."

- That makes sense. - That was a good guess right there.

- Who you thinking, ken? - You know, I'm just so inspired by the story.

I'm convinced that gumball might be my dear friend taran killam.

Taran's wife, who is an amazing actress, cobie smulders,

Was diagnosed with cancer the same year my wife was diagnosed with cancer.

- And I'm happy to say both are doing well, cancer-free. - Thank god. Thank god.

And, um--

And also, you know,

As a spouse of a cancer survivor,

There's no, um-- there's no greater joy

Than just performing for the one you love.

And I think I get that, so I think it's taran.

So touching, ken. Thank you. Thank you for sharing.

Men in black, do what you do, man.

Help the gumball out. Please direct him to the candy shop.

Well, I do think gumball is gonna be one to beat.

- Ken: Yeah. - Rita: Yeah.

...Waiting for the perfect time to strike.

Beware...

...The seal.

Hey, guys. What's all the fuss about?

Just like a seal, I'm cute, cuddly, and friendly.

It would make sense I'm the wild card,

Because I was mistakenly perceived as a wild child.

Y'all may know me from your screens, radio,

Or posters tacked up on your walls.

- Vampire? - Maybe they starred in "twilight?"

And I'm so excited to be here on girl group night,

'cause I was in one of the most favorite groups in the world.

- Ah. - Is he a boy bander?

And now I'll get your seal of approval

With a girl group anthem

By some fabulous "masked singer" alums.

Guys, I have-- I might fancy the seal.

- Really? - I'm finding-- I'm feeling a connection.

He's looking at you right now, I think.

All right, guys, are you picking up on any clues for the seal?

Oh, spielberg. This makes sense to me.

Haley joel osment, eh?

Who was in-- who was in steven spielberg's "a.I."

Think about it. Everything fits.

On one of my favorite shows "what we do in the shadows."

- Is that my husband in there? - Well, it could be.

I've been trying to call him all day and he has not been answering my phone call.

I've been in this suit. I'm so sorry.

- But we could make out now. - Rita: Aww.

Ken: Okay, you know what? That-- you know what?

( seal laughs )

Come on, baby! Come on!

- Like, I really felt like we had a connection. - Yeah, classic haley.

- I know. - Damn it.

Husbands do like to pop up on this show, rita,

- Just so so you know. - Ken: That's-- very true.

But if I put the clues together,

I feel like the movie "gremlins" from spielberg.

- You know, "gremlins." remember that movie? - Okay.

I also feel like he said,

"I was in one of your favorite groups."

- Could that be "the goonies" group? - Rita: Oh!

I think this could be corey feldman, ladies and gentlemen.

Robin: That's a good guess.

But I'm thinking this is a different goonie.

I think that this might be sean astin.

- Ooh! - Oh, another good guess!

Some really great guesses up there.

Miss cleocatra.

We're sorry that the journey is over,

But we can't wait to see who you are.

- We got to see this famous face, right? - Jenny: Yes!

But first-- miss cleocatra!

Hold on. We got to have you sit down

Because the panel got to guess who you are.

- Oh! - Yes! It's time.

We don't know who this famous royal queen is.

She is so adorable.

- She is the best. - I mean, the queen. The queen!

- Yes. - Panel, I need your final guesses.

Rita: I mean, I have to stand up

Because I feel so confident with this.

You know, in your first clue, you had an hourglass.

The first time I ever saw your face,

The grammy-winning roberta flack, guys.

- Oh. Great guess. - All right, robin.

She won an emmy for "grey's anatomy."

I think that this is the larger than life loretta devine.

Ken: Oh, great guess. Another outstanding guess.

Dr. Ken, what you got?

Initially, I said taraji p. Henson,

But she was never on "fresh prince of bel air."

But jenifer lewis was.

- Rita: Ah. - Nick. Ah.

Ken: She played aunt helen.

So I believe, all hail the legendary queen jenifer.

- ( cheers and applause ) - jenny: Hey!

That would be amazing.

Well, I've been torn between two o.G. Dreamgirls.

- Ken: Yep. - There's sheryl lee ralph and loretta devine.

Both won emmys, but I'm gonna lean in on loretta devine!

- All right. - Double down. Triple down.

I got to see this. I can't wait to see this one.

- I wanna see who this is! - Oh, my gosh. We're so excited.

All right, panel, let's see if any of you are correct.

Miss cleocatra, we need to know who you are.

Audience, you know the drill. Say it with me.

All: Take it off, take it off!
