The Masked Singer Season 4 Eliminates Giraffe — Which Celeb Got Unmasked?

The singing competition narrowed its first batch of singers down to four on Wednesday night

One week after the first-ever Masked Singer contestant removed their costume without being voted off — to unveil Mickey Rourke under the Gremlin outfit — the competition returned with the Group A Playoffs Wednesday night.

Popcorn, Giraffe, Snow Owls and Sun battled for a spot in the Group A Finals and revealed more clues about themselves. After each celebrity performed, a clue-delivering drone brought the judges an additional item offering more guidance on the disguised star’s identity.

Host Nick Cannon also asked Snow Owls, The Masked Singer's first duet costume, a fan question about whether judge Ken Jeong had ever guessed either of them on the show. “I’m definitely not Björk and I’m not Honey Boo Boo,” the female Snow Owl said. The male Snow Owl added, “I’m not Fabio. I’m not Jag. I’ve never been on Jag.”

The pair also teased that while Jeong and his fellow panelists Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke believed Snow Owls are a married couple, “a sister can sing a love song to her brother, right?”

Actor Joel McHale joined the panel this week as a guest judge and suggested that Popcorn could be Dionne Warwick, who already appeared on The Masked Singer last season as Mouse.

Sun ended the night with a rendition of Kesha’s “Praying,” which Scherzinger called “my favorite female vocal I’ve ever heard on this show.”

When it came time for the judges and virtual audience to vote for their favorite performance of the evening, Giraffe landed in the bottom after singing Kool & the Gang’s “Get Down On It.” The panelists made their final guesses as to who could be under the baroque-inspired costume, including Travis Barker, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Seth Green, Shia LaBeouf and Jason Priestley.

Although McCarthy correctly predicted Rourke as Gremlin last week, neither she nor any of the other judges nailed Giraffe’s identity. When Giraffe took off his long neck, Brian Austin Green appeared underneath.

“It’s been fun. It’s been a really good time,” the Beverly Hills, 90210 actor, 47, said of his experience on The Masked Singer. “I’ve loved messing with Ken. We’ve never met before, but you talk way too much.”
