Welcome to "The Masked Singer."

We're in the finals portion of our competition

and we return to our Group A singers.

And just three performers remain.

They are the yummy Popcorn,

the Sun,

and the Snow Owls.

‐ Whoo! ‐ They really have to bring it tonight

if they want to survive because only two

can advance to our super six and get one step closer

to the Golden Mask trophy.

Tonight, the top vote getter will have a guaranteed spot in the super six.

And the bottom two will have to battle it out

in a bloody, booty‐shaking smackdown

to advance to the next round.

The loser will be the one to unmask tonight.

‐ Whoo. ‐ Now, let's say hello to our socially distanced panel.

‐ Hey. ‐ What's up? What's up?

‐ Yeah! ‐ Jenny: Whoo!

Robin: Whoo!

Nick: Ken?

‐ You 'aight? ‐ Oh, guys, um,

I have a confession to make.

When I'm walking down the street, little kids, including some babies,

they look at me and they're just like,

"You're the dumbest judge in the world.

Even I get stuff more than you."

And I'm like, "Oh, really? Have you been in even one 'Hangover' movie?

Really? Have‐‐ are you that much better than me?

I've been a doctor, I've been a comedian, and an Instagram bikini model.

I will prove to you that I am not a joke."

This is why I brought all these amazing books to bone up on my knowledge.

You can see I got like, "Actors With Pimples."

I got "Celebrity Rashes."

"NFL Players Who Are Leos."

Ken, sit your ass down.

We're here for you, Ken.

Now, who is our guest panelist this week?

She's an Emmy‐winning force of nature

known for her questionable detective work on "Reno 911."

We'll see how she does tonight.

Who is it? Say it with me, audience.

(chanting) Take it off! Take it off!

‐ Oh! ‐ Nick: Actress, comedian, producer‐‐

the beautiful Niecy Nash!

‐ Whoo! ‐ We love you, Niecy.

Thank you for being here, queen.

‐ Thank you for having me. ‐ No, are you ready for this?

'Cause this show gets a little wild.

Oh, I'm ready because my secret power in all of this

‐ is that I got mama ears. ‐ Ooh.

‐ Yes, okay. ‐ I got three kids, so even if you downstairs

in the basement behind the washing machine,

‐ I'ma be like, "What y'all doing down there?" ‐ You know who did it.

I know who that is. That's your mama ears.

We're gonna have a lot of fun. Thank you for being here with us.

‐ Whoo! ‐ Now, before we pit our Group A all stars against one another,

let's have them unite in song.

We may float a few clues in this one.

‐ Ooh. ‐ Here to perform the Pink anthem "Raise Your Glass,"

raise yours to the Sun, Popcorn, and the Snow Owls.

I'm excited. It's the first time they're all together.

Ken: Right.

‐ Ken: Yeah! ‐ Nicole: Whoo!

‐ Popcorn got‐‐ ‐ Popcorn, you 'aight?

Got shot by the confetti cannon.

Oh, my gosh. Each one of you are such heavy hitters.

This is gonna be the greatest showdown

‐ we've ever had in the history of "Masked Singer." ‐ It is.

‐ Well said. ‐ And I can't believe someone is going home tonight.

All right, well, let's get to it. We're upping the ante

with some game‐changing clues coming straight

from the famous friends and families of our singers.

‐ Robin: Whoo! ‐ Nick: And tonight we're kicking off our Group A finals

with our solar superstar the Sun.

(music playing)

Sun: I never thought returning to the stage after all these months

would have looked quite like this,

but performing again feels absolutely radiant.

Enough of me carrying on. Honey, take the wheel.

Like so many people, the last few months of isolation

have been challenging for me and Sun.

Wind chimes. Someone from the Windy City maybe.

You know, we've tried to make the most of our unexpected time off

by taking our RV out on road trips.

Though I'm always wasting fuel blasting the AC

'cause she's so dang hot.

We realized we don't need much to be happy, you know?

We just need each other.

But I know Sun really misses entertaining people.

You know, she's never taken this long of a break from spreading her light

‐ to the rest of the world. ‐ Lots of cows. Maybe they have a ranch?

So, Sun, that's why I'm so excited

to see you rocking out in the limelight again.

Keep on shining tonight.

Ooh, this is gonna be good.

‐ She was the first person to ever perform on this season. ‐ Yep.

‐ I said she's gonna win. ‐ Nicole: Yep. She's amazing.

‐ Yeah. ‐ Ooh, okay.

Nick: The Sun shines after the break.

‐ Oh, my God. ‐ The game‐changing clues have the panel divided.

‐ Absolutely not. ‐ What?

You are so wrong.

‐ And later... ‐ The singer going home is...

(all screaming)

Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for the Sun.

♪ Come on, come on, come on, come on ♪

Jenny: Get it!

Nicole: Yeah! Yes!

‐ Whoa! ‐ Whoo!

‐ Robin: Whoa! ‐ The Sun sang that!

‐ Nicole: Whoo! ‐ Nick: Making us all feel good.

‐ Oh, my God. ‐ Wow.

Such an awesome job!

The Sun, I love you! Ha! I am obsessed.

Let me tell you something. You chose the perfect costume

for all that you do, baby.

'Cause you could not have shown brighter tonight.

‐ Nicole: Yeah. ‐ Good job.

Robin: Absolutely. Tonight was really sultry,

and I think that we always worry after a few performances,

‐ will they be able to show us something new? ‐ Right.

That was a whole 'nother dimension. That was wonderful.

‐ Ken: Yeah. ‐ I would agree.

All right, well, tonight we are to be greeted by

a close, personal friend of our singers,

who is going to deliver a genuinely game‐changing clue.

But because they can't be here in person,

we've come up with a futuristic fix.

‐ Jenny: What is that? ‐ Yeah!

‐ Ken: Yeah. ‐ Niecy: That's so cute.

It's an actual, like, real life robot.

It's like "The Jetsons."

Yeah, it is like "The Jetsons."

Little closer.

Stop. Okay.

You ready for this?

(beeping)

Now, panel, I got you a game‐changing clue.

The Sun is actually golden.

Yep. She's got at least one single that went certified gold.

‐ Ken: Wow. ‐ Jenny: Ooh.

‐ Huh. ‐ Ken: Wow.

Nick: Picking up on anything?

‐ Okay, oh. ‐ Ken's trying to connect the dots.

Yes, I am. Yes, I am. 'Cause I‐‐

Sun, I apologize ahead of time.

All right, based on the clues we saw this week,

I will go with Katharine McPhee, and I'll tell you why.

‐ That's good. ‐ Okay, gold record.

Katharine McPhee has a gold record called "Over It."

‐ Yeah. ‐ But, Kat, we're not over you.

Not by a long shot.

And in that clue package we heard from her husband,

Canadian producer David Foster, and let me tell you,

when he's not producing albums by Michael Bublé

or Barbra Streisand, this guy is a lumberjack to the hilt.

So, welcome to "The Masked Singer," Katharine McPhee.

‐ Thank you. ‐ Robin: That's who I guessed it was last time.

‐ No. No, no. ‐ Yeah, yeah, yeah.

‐ What? ‐ Absolutely not, no.

‐ What? ‐ You are so wrong because the person in that package

‐ was not a husband, okay? I'm a super sleuth. ‐ Ah.

‐ Let me just let you know something. ‐ Oh.

‐ Niecy: The way he talked about that woman... ‐ Robin: Yeah.

...that's a boyfriend. Your husband don't talk about you like that.

‐ Boyfriend and a half. ‐ Niecy: Yeah.

‐ That's a boyfriend? ‐ Listen, I've been a wife a couple of times, Ken.

‐ Okay. Okay. ‐ Niecy: All right? And the reason why

was 'cause I know how husbands talk about...

All right?

‐ So let's take out everybody who's married, right? ‐ Jenny: Okay.

‐ Okay, okay. ‐ Niecy: So let's walk it down.

When you dropped down on that ground,

‐ you saw those are some young knees. ‐ Yeah.

‐ She got the‐‐ ‐ Yeah, yeah.

So I was thinking at first maybe it's Jojo.

‐ Ah. ‐ But then I remember in the package,

the postcard, and it said "From Alaska."

‐ Robin: Ah. ‐ Niecy: You know who's from Alaska?

‐ No. ‐ Jewel is from Alaska.

‐ Oh. ‐ Oh!

‐ Oh. ‐ Niecy: Jewel is from Alaska.

‐ Ken: That's a good guess. ‐ Jenny: That's not bad.

‐ All right, that's a good one. ‐ To me, based off this powerhouse voice,

and there was also a castle in the clue package for Disney star.

Demi Lovato.

And the chalk rock in the blimp clue...

‐ Oh, yeah. ‐ Yes, the University of Kansas.

Yeah, they, uh, they have the chalk rock chant.

Jenny: Okay, well, Demi Lovato performed at the Super Bowl,

‐ in which Kansas City won. ‐ Yeah, that's true.

‐ So maybe that's a connection. ‐ Robin: I love it.

Girl, you stretched that like a piece of gum on an old shoe.

I will make a clue work whether it likes it or not.

Nick: All right, well, one thing we do know,

that was an amazing performance we just witnessed,

so, make some noise one more time for the Sun.

‐ Jenny: Whoo! ‐ Head back to the lair and await your fate.

We'll see you in a little bit.

‐ Unbelievable performance. ‐ That was great.

Nick: Did our panel's guesses for the Sun give you a heatstroke?

Tell us what you think.

Sun: I don't get to share my sultry rocker side very often.

Here's hoping it was enough to get me into the super six.

♪ Who is that?

(music playing)

‐ So you're pretty good at this? ‐ She's a clue master.

And just whatever Ken says, go the opposite way.

‐ Okay. ‐ You won't have to worry about it because you'll zone out

‐ as soon as he starts talking, so you don't even have to try. ‐ Yeah.

Ken, I'm so sorry they doing you like that.

It's okay. I'm very used to it.

♪ Who is that?

Welcome back to "The Masked Singer"

‐ Group A finals. ‐ ♪ Who is that?

‐ Oh! ‐ Nick: Now if you're still confused as to what two celebs

would undercover together in an owl costume,

maybe these new clues from a famous close personal friend will help.

Check it out.

(music playing)

Sharing a stage is new to us, but being together up here

feels more and more like home.

♪ Say something, I'm giving up on you ♪

Oh, that is so cute!

We've felt so supported on this journey.

And while we're loving our new fans,

we can't forget the one that's been with us since the beginning.

The Owls? Oh, I know the Owls.

They've been perching on my arms for over 20 years now.

For two total opposites, they really complement each other.

Sir Owl always pushes Lady Owl to believe in herself.

And Lady Owl? Well, she's finally gotten him to settle down a bit

‐ with all that horsing around. ‐ I'm getting serious cowboy vibes.

He's got the louder voice of the two,

and sometimes I feel Lady Owl gets overlooked.

‐ Oh, that's the Parthenon. ‐ There's one in Nashville.

So it's been amazing to watch her

step out from under his shadow and truly shine.

I've seen these two pour their hearts and souls into this competition.

‐ That a Shirley Temple? A Roy Rogers. ‐ Or a Roy Rogers.

I can't think of a more deserving duo to take home the win.

Breathtaking, indeed.

‐ Nicole: Whoo. ‐ Nicole, talk to 'em.

Oh, my gosh. That was such a beautiful version of that song.

Your harmonies were so beautiful, and you have my heart.

I know you have America's heart, and just thank you for that.

That was so special.

All right, now it's time to welcome back the Snow Owls' famous companion

with something we all want, the game‐changing clue.

R‐r‐robot.

(music playing)

‐ Yeah! ‐ Yeah!

Nick: Uh‐oh, I think the robot's drunk.

‐ We got a robot down! ‐ The robot is lit. I'll get it.

Oh! It's 2020. What do you expect?

‐ Robot is drunk. ‐ Lil Wayne is down.

Ken: Line of the year, Robin.

Now you good? You straight?

All right, come on. This way.

Oh, he about to go somewhere else.

Don't go off the stage.

All right, stop. Okay.

‐ You ready for this? ‐ (beeping)

Now, panel, ready for a game‐changing clue?

Two Snow Owls sitting in a tree,

K‐I‐S‐S‐I‐N‐G.

‐ Jenny: Look at that kiss. ‐ All: Oh!

‐ Ken: Oh. ‐ That's not brother and sister.

‐ It's not Donny and Marie. ‐ Jenny: No.

Okay, so here's where I was going with it.

‐ I think it may be Brad Paisley... ‐ Ooh.

‐ ...and his wife Kimberly. ‐ Robin: Ah.

Because she was in the TV show "Nashville."

‐ Nicole: Oh, yeah. ‐ Robin: That's right.

Right? Which is where the Parthenon is in the package.

Look at you putting those clues together.

And it was a little horse in there.

‐ Jenny: Yes. ‐ Final answer. That's my final answer.

Robin: All right. I like that.

‐ Ken: That's a great guess. ‐ Robin: That's a good guess.

But there was an empty nest in the clue blimp.

And I believe that both of their children have left the nest,

so I'm sticking with my guess from last time,

‐ Amy Grant and Vince Gill. ‐ Ken: Oh.

I love me some Amy Grant.

Well, you made some good points, but I'm thinking

a whole different direction.

‐ Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. ‐ Yeah!

Let me finish. The famous tree friend that we saw in the package,

made of wood, Woody Harrelson from "Cheers."

Huh? Are you following me, Nick?

‐ No. ‐ And this week, they drank together a Roy Rogers,

which they serve in a bar called "Cheers."

This is Danny DeVito, Rhea Pearlman.

"The Masked Singer" unites people.

It brings people together on a show of love.

Nicole: Come on back from Stretchville, Ken.

You're gonna pull a muscle with all that stretching.

Disagree to agree.

Either way, we know they did an amazing performance,

so, ladies and gentlemen, please give it up one more time for the Snow Owls.

Whoo!

Nick: Do our panel's Snow Owl guesses give you frostbite?

Tell us what you think.

I think that kiss might have ruffled some feathers, for sure.

Here's hoping we didn't give too much away

because we've still got big plans

to fly our way into the super six.

Nick: Coming up, it's the return of the...

‐ Smackdown! ‐ Let's go!

‐ It's anybody's game. ‐ And later,

it's a reveal no one saw coming.

(chanting) Take it off! Take it off!

(music playing)

Aww, how am I supposed to focus on the competition

when all I can think about is Nick?

♪ Guess I'm just a play date to you ♪

His dance moves...

his smile,

his overall vibes.

It's enough to make a girl pop.

(heart beating)

‐ ♪ Who is that? ‐ Welcome back to "The Masked Singer"

‐ Group A finals. ‐ Whoo!

Nick: Next up, it's our favorite singing carbohydrate.

Let's hear from a famous friend of this highly caloric movie snack.

Here some more clues about the Popcorn.

(music playing)

Popcorn: Every time I get to walk out onto this stage,

it feels so great knowing that I'm bring a little happiness to the world.

But I couldn't do it without my own personal cheerleader,

her royal highness, my Queen BFF.

I know Popcorn through a mutual friend.

Technically, a queen associate.

Maybe spent some time in Russia or married a Russian?

I don't have to tell you, my BFF has an amazing voice,

but I can never get her to sing at my famous karaoke parties.

Such a royal pain.

Could be in the fashion world?

At least she's singing for you all here

on a stage I've been on before. Dun, dun, dun.

Oh, she's been on the show!

Now everyone can revel in her majesty.

Popcorn, you know I'm always in your court.

Good luck making it to the super six

because you deserve the crown.

‐ Yes, Popcorn! ‐ Nick: What's popping?

‐ That was popping. ‐ Wait a second.

‐ What was that? ‐ What do you mean?

She just totally flipped the whole script.

‐ Right. ‐ Just when I thought I knew exactly who it was,

she comes out and she started the song with a completely different tone

in the highest register. I'm completely confused right now.

That was amazing. Wow.

You know you are a diva when you point to the note before you hit it.

‐ Hey. ‐ And you're like, it's going right there.

It's going right there.

All right, let's welcome back Popcorn's famous friend

‐ with another game‐changing clue. ‐ Ooh.

Robot, roll on out.

(music playing)

Yeah!

Hey.

To my friend up there, not only have I been here before,

but in the show's history, one of you has also guessed Popcorn.

‐ Nicole: Wow. ‐ Oh. That's very interesting.

‐ Oh, I think I know. ‐ One of you has guessed Popcorn.

So, this artist we definitely have mentioned her before.

In the clue packages previously, we've seen a crimp iron and her hair is crimpy.

And the thing that made me say, oh, yeah, was the sewing kit.

‐ Yes. ‐ Taylor. Taylor Dayne is on this stage right now.

‐ Ken: Good guess. ‐ Robin: I don't know about that.

‐ Yeah. ‐ I'm not sure that's Taylor's tone.

‐ Oh. ‐ Who do we think would be her famous friend

that's been on the show before?

I think one of her best friends is Leah Remini.

‐ Ooh. ‐ Now she wasn't on that stage, but she was on this stage.

‐ Robin: Yes. ‐ Ah.

Niecy: Let me blow all these theories up right now.

‐ Please. ‐ Niecy: All of these heavy New York Clues,

I don't know. I just feel like one of the ultimate queens of New York

‐ is Cyndi Lauper. ‐ Jenny: Oh!

So, I'm gonna drop my pen like it's a mic and I don't know what it means.

‐ That's all I got. ‐ I like it, I like it.

And Cyndi has an incredible range. She can go way up.

‐ Yes. ‐ Ken: That is a good guess.

But I know exactly who this raspy voice may be.

‐ I'm thinking Anita Baker. ‐ Anita Baker?

Royalty in the package. Anita Baker's the queen of R&B soul.

‐ Yep. ‐ Deer in the package. A type of deer is hart.

One of her hits is "Heart and Soul."

Great guess. Proud of myself.

‐ Jenny: No. ‐ Niecy: Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Is this Popcorn Anika Noni Rose?

‐ She fits kinda like the body type. ‐ Okay.

‐ Nicole: Physique. ‐ That's a good one, too.

‐ That's a good one. ‐ You guys ought to be glad I'm here.

‐ You already dropped your mic. ‐ Oh, sorry. I picked it back up.

Let me sit back down. No more clues. I'm sorry.

There it is. All right, lots of great guesses.

Ladies and gentlemen, keep it going for the Popcorn!

She's a legend.

Nick: The panel gave us all sorts of guesses for the Popcorn,

but did it just leave us corn‐fused?

It's been an evening of epic performances,

but now it's time for the studio audience,

our panel, and our pre‐selected superfans at home

to exercise their right to vote for their favorite of the night.

The two singers with the least amount of votes

will battle it out in our "Masked Singer" smackdown.

This is so hard.

The votes are in, and the first place finisher

going directly to the super six is...

Nick: Congratulations, Sun. You have officially made it to our super six.

Wow, that might be the first love ballad smackdown

in "Masked Singer" history.

Nicole: Oh, my God.

Niecy: You know what? I'm so torn.

It would be easier if they were a little more mean.

Let's get to the smacktalk then, all right?

‐ Uh‐oh. ‐ Snow Owls, please,

why do you think you beat the Popcorn?

We went out on a limb and gave our crowning achievement performance.

Yes! Out on a limb! Yes!

Well, I mean, Popcorn came here to pop.

Yes!

That's as gangsta as it's going to get, Niecy.

‐ Oh, man! ‐ Yeah, exactly. You're right, you're right, you're right.

All right, well, panel, it's time to vote.

‐ Oh, man. ‐ Nick: You guys gotta make that decision

on who you think won the smackdown.

‐ Oh, my gosh. ‐ It's so hard. This is so difficult.

Nick: Snow Owls, Popcorn, only one of you will be advancing to the super six.

The votes have been tallied,

and the singer going home is...

In this epic smackdown,

the winner who gets to keep it on

and advance to the super six is...

This is big.

Oh, no. I don't want to know. I don't want to know.

‐ Popcorn! ‐ (cheering)

‐ Popcorn, congratulations. ‐ Yay for Popcorn.

The Golden Mask is still within your reach.

We'll see you soon for our super six.

Oh, makes me so sad for the Owls.

Snow Owls, I'm so disappointed and sorry that you guys are not moving forward.

But America can't wait to see your famous faces.

Yeah!

Before we do, let's give you guys one final clue.

Dancers, let's help the Owls out of their egg.

‐ What? ‐ Oh!

They're gonna hatch.

‐ Oh, my gosh! ‐ Wow.

Oh, they're beautiful. Oh, my God.

‐ Gorgeous. ‐ Now you've seen their bodies.

Men In Black, let's bring out the first impression guesses from the vault.

‐ Oh, no! ‐ Nick: Men In Black, bring 'em out.

Yeah, I don't think we need to do that. We can just‐‐

Nicole: Yeah, we don't need to do that, Nick.

Nick: No, I think we definitely need to do this.

‐ This is my favorite part. ‐ No.

‐ Mr. Robin Thicke... ‐ Yes.

...your first impression guess was Amy Grant and Vince Gill.

‐ Sticking with it? ‐ Robin: Absolutely.

There's been so many references to Nashville.

And I think Vince Gill is one of the great country singers of all time.

‐ Yep. ‐ So I'm going to stick with it,

and I'm gonna go with Vince Gill and Amy Grant.

That's real, real good.

Jenny, you said Maureen McCormick and Barry Williams.

‐ Ken: That's good. ‐ Nicole: Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.

‐ Sticking with the Bradys? ‐ Well, you know, I was going with, like, TV iconic duos

like Greg and Marsha, but now with the Christmas clues.

‐ Yes. ‐ Him calling her the queen,

and she's the queen of Christian pop.

I feel like maybe it is Amy and Vince.

Robin: Yeah!

All right, well, Dr. Kenny Ken Ken.

Oh, God. I don't even...

First impression guess, Derek and Julianne Hough.

That's the most, like, sane guess he's had.

Before they kissed, that made a lot of sense.

I think on the first show, the big clue was a pearl.

Rhea Perlman.

Furthermore, D that dropped, D for Danny.

This is Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman.

‐ He's laughing at you. ‐ No, he's nervous.

I'm gonna throw my pen at you.

‐ Nick: Nicole? ‐ Oh, my God. What did you say, Nicole?

‐ Donny and Marie Osmond. ‐ Nicole: It's not bad.

So I thought Donny could come back, take it all with his sister,

but I do not believe that is Donny and Marie anymore.

‐ Yes. ‐ Nicole: Okay? Nick, that has been driving me crazy

because as soon as they just opened their little beaks,

I was like, I feel like I know those voices.

‐ Yeah. ‐ But then there was that smackdown

that I was like, I know that voice.

‐ Really? ‐ Nicole: Yes. And now seeing their bodies,

I believe that this is Clint Black and Lisa Hartman.

‐ Jenny: Oh, my God. ‐ Robin: Oh, that's very interesting.

That's because this week I was like,

is that a Shirley Temple, a Roy Rogers?

And I think Clint Black did a song with Roy Rogers, so...

‐ Oh, my God. That's awesome. ‐ Really?

‐ Yeah. ‐ All right, now, Niecy.

‐ Yes. ‐ We are dying to hear your final guess

on who you think the Snow Owls could be.

Initially when I unpacked it, I had come up with Brad Paisley and his wife,

but now I'm gonna put all my money down...

‐ Uh‐oh. ‐ ...on Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna. Deal with it.

‐ Whoa! ‐ Jenny: Oh!

Niecy: I just feel like if Lisa Rinna was on the show,

she would look like that in that costume.

‐ All right. ‐ By the way, this is a huge moment.

This is our first double unmasking on "The Masked Singer."

‐ Whoo. ‐ This is history, you're right.

‐ Big. ‐ Well, let's see who they are!

‐ Ken: Yes! ‐ All right, and here we go.

Let's see if any of you are even close.

Snow Owls, show us your famous faces.

‐ (chanting) Take it off! Take it off! ‐ ♪ Who are you?

♪ Who, who, who, who

♪ Who are you?

♪ Who, who, who, who

♪ Who

‐ ♪ I really wanna know ‐ Please say it's Clint and Lisa.

♪ Tell me who are you, you, you ♪

Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise

for country superstar, legendary actress, and singer

Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black.

‐ Nicole! ‐ Nicole, you were right.

‐ How did you get it? ‐ Clint's voice, honestly.

‐ Robin: Yeah! ‐ It was Clint's voice, but, Lisa, like,

I'm so glad you came on this show because you were unbelievable.

‐ Your voice, it was so beautiful. ‐ Totally.

‐ Ken: Yeah. ‐ Nicole: Y'all need to release something.

We should sing together.

So what was it like being a Snow Owl?

Well, I mean, when I first saw the costumes, I actually cried.

‐ Nick: Oh, wow. ‐ Because they're so beautiful, but they're so sweet.

‐ Yeah. ‐ I couldn't wait to get into them.

‐ Audience: Aww. ‐ I said it before, but y'all were truly

the heart of this show.

‐ Yeah. ‐ It's true. We're gonna miss our lovebirds.

‐ Thank you. ‐ You guys are no Simon Cowell,

that's all I'm gonna say.

Y'all are so nice and made us feel good every time.

Such a wonderful job. Thank you to the queen Niecy Nash.

‐ We love you, Niecy. ‐ Whoo!

‐ Niecy Nash! ‐ Nick: But right now,

to perform unmasked once and for all,

let's give some major love and applause

for the artists formerly known as the Snow Owls,

ladies and gentlemen,

Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black.

Yeah!
