00:00 The first singer of season 10 to get unmasked is...
00:05 - That's exciting.
00:09 - Oh man.
00:09 - Oh!
00:13 - It is exciting and scary at the same time.
00:18 - Rubber Duckie.
00:22 - The new season of "The Masked Singer"
00:25 has kicked off ducking strong.
00:27 On Wednesday, the season 10 premiere
00:29 of Fox's hit singing competition
00:31 introduced five new celebrities in crazy costumes,
00:35 including Cow, Gazelle, Rubber Duckie, S'more, and Diver.
00:39 But unfortunately, Rubber Duckie received
00:41 the least number of votes after singing,
00:43 so the judges had to guess who it was.
00:45 And the celebs started off strong with some great clues.
00:49 - Hey there, the name's Rubber Duckie.
00:53 Ready to splash on the stage.
00:56 Here's how my story goes.
00:57 Movies and TV shows, I'm used to being the rage.
01:01 Oh yeah, life started out pretty humble.
01:06 Came up from nothing to fame.
01:09 Nice to see you all.
01:10 Tried standup comedy, learned it wasn't for me.
01:13 But now I'm a household name.
01:15 - You starved with Leo?
01:16 You're friends with Leo?
01:18 - I can say that I've made my way solitarily.
01:21 Great crowd tonight.
01:23 Let's get it.
01:24 - Oh no, no, no, behind everything I do is my family.
01:29 You know it.
01:30 So now that you see, here we go.
01:34 A little more about me.
01:36 Bring it home, gentlemen.
01:37 Come on.
01:38 I'll quack my way to the finale.
01:41 Hey, Rubber Dug Dug.
01:45 - Judges Jenny McCarthy, Robin Thicke, Nicole Scherzinger,
01:49 and Ken Jeong all made some pretty good guesses
01:52 after the secret celebrity sang Dexys "Midnight Runners"
01:55 and Kevin Rowland's '80s hit "Come On Arlene."
01:59 - Talk to the rubber ducky.
02:00 - I dare say this is the most fun performance of the night.
02:05 I love everything about this.
02:07 - Yeah.
02:07 - Thank you, thank you.
02:10 - Amazing job.
02:12 It's time for a clue, right?
02:14 Men in black, bring it out.
02:16 (audience cheering)
02:20 - Bring it on, bring it on.
02:22 (audience cheering)
02:25 - What's that say?
02:28 - Wait, what's that say?
02:29 - What is it?
02:30 Oh, the duckies.
02:31 - Ooh, with the signatures.
02:35 - My family is full of stars.
02:38 Check out the headshot.
02:39 - I'm definitely getting a comedic vibe from this guy,
02:44 you know, and I'm thinking famous families.
02:47 And this guy's known for being in very famous
02:49 horror movies like "Scream."
02:51 What if this is David Arquette,
02:53 famous brother of Patricia Arquette?
02:56 - That's not bad, that's not bad.
02:58 Is he David doing something like this?
03:00 - Yeah.
03:01 - But what about the Wayans brothers?
03:03 - Ooh.
03:04 - Okay, now you're talking.
03:06 - Famous family.
03:07 - But they're like two of the most celebrated
03:09 legendary standup comedians of all time.
03:12 This person said he did standup comedy, didn't like it.
03:15 So right now I'm thinking Anthony Anderson
03:18 and I'll tell you why,
03:20 because Anthony Anderson is not known for standup,
03:24 but he's one of the best comedic actors around.
03:26 - I think that's a good guess.
03:27 - There is something that is screaming Anthony Anderson.
03:32 - I think all of our guesses are awash.
03:34 - I'm not listening.
03:35 Great job, Anthony.
03:36 - Once Rubber Duckie was on the chopping block
03:39 at the very end, the judges got one more chance to guess
03:43 and one of them was correct.
03:45 - For first panel, who do you think is hiding
03:48 under this duck mask?
03:50 - You know what, I'll go first.
03:52 'Cause I think there is no more funny family than the Wayans.
03:56 Let me tell you, Marlon Wayans.
03:58 The VHS horror tape for all the scary movies
04:02 he was in along with myself.
04:04 - I love that.
04:04 - Right?
04:05 - I love that, Jimmy.
04:08 - Okay, now you're talking.
04:09 - We think it's famous families, the Scream franchise.
04:13 I think this might be David Arquette.
04:14 I'm gonna go with that.
04:15 - Okay.
04:18 - Wow.
04:18 Well, still, that doesn't explain one of the clues.
04:22 Who starred with Leonardo DiCaprio?
04:24 I don't know.
04:25 This gentleman starred with Leo DiCaprio
04:27 in the Oscar winning picture, "The Departed."
04:30 He's from a famous family on "Black-ish."
04:33 This is Anthony Anderson.
04:35 - Ken, that's actually a really good guess.
04:39 But I'm thinking of another famous family from TV,
04:44 from "Family Matters."
04:46 I think this could be the one and only Steve Urkel,
04:49 Jaleel White.
04:51 - Wow.
04:52 - I'm going for it.
04:53 - All right, panel.
04:56 Let's see if any of you are correct.
04:58 - Oh my God. - Oh my God.
05:00 - Come on, make me lucky, ducky.
05:02 Audience, say it with me.
05:03 - Take it off, take it off, take it off.
05:07 - Oh my God, I'm so enthusiastic.
05:09 - Take it off, take it off, take it off, take it off,
05:14 take it off, take it off, take it off.
05:18 - Who is it?
05:19 Who is it?
05:24 Award winning and Emmy nominated actor,
05:29 comedian, superstar, Anthony Anderson.
05:38 - My God. - Ken was right.
05:42 - Ken is right?
05:44 - Good job, Ken.
05:46 - Ken got it right.
05:48 My man, Ken.
05:49 - My man, my man.
05:51 - Come on, baby.
05:54 - Oh my God.
05:55 - Ken, you finally got something right, baby.
05:58 - It's a season 10 miracle.
06:00 I love you so much.
06:03 You know how much I love you.
06:04 - I love you too, brother, you know that.
06:05 - You're all about fun.
06:06 You make me laugh so hard.
06:08 Everything about you just screams fun.
06:09 - And you're a classy, funny, amazing guy.
06:12 - Thank you, Jenny.
06:13 - Thank you. - Incredible.
06:14 - You are, we love you.
06:16 - This has to probably be up there
06:19 on the most bizarre things you've ever done.
06:22 - I would have to say it is the most bizarre thing
06:24 I've ever done.
06:26 I'm naked up under these bubbles right here, right now.
06:29 Don't let the tights below the knees fool you.
06:32 - Ken was shocked and excited for guessing correctly
06:35 on Anthony Anderson being the rubber ducky,
06:38 but he hasn't always been right.
06:39 AXA's Hollywood's Marei Lopez and Kid Hoover
06:42 chatted with the 54-year-old actor back in June,
06:45 and he made fun of himself
06:46 for his past terrible "Masked Singer" guesses.
06:49 - Let's talk about the season finale of "The Masked Singer."
06:52 - Yeah.
06:52 - You were a little off, my man,
06:54 in some of the guesses right here.
06:55 - How dare you?
06:57 I'm a doctor, I was in "The Hangover."
07:00 - I know.
07:01 - And now Slater's saying I'm stupid?
07:04 How dare you?
07:05 - Well, you ended up, you guessed Susan Boyle.
07:10 - I thought it was Susan Boyle.
07:11 - That's legitimate, that was legitimate.
07:13 - It was a legit guess.
07:14 I guessed it four weeks in a row.
07:17 A lot of booze hurt my feeling.
07:19 - At some point, it should be Susan Boyle, right?
07:22 - You can, I was manifesting.
07:24 - For sure.
07:25 - I had, I dreamed a dream it was Susan Boyle.
07:28 - I like when you went Robert De Niro as the gnome.
07:31 I'm like, come on, Ken, let's be right.
07:33 - I mean, no, I mean, that's an amazing guess.
07:35 How dare you?
07:36 - Not a good guess.
07:37 - The greatest actor in the greatest costume of all time,
07:40 the gnome. - Totally.
07:41 - You talking to him?
07:42 Yes, I was.
07:43 It was Robert De Niro.
07:44 - Your guesses have gone viral though for being incorrect,
07:47 which is awesome.
07:48 - What?
07:48 - Yes, they have.
07:49 - What is this, 60 minutes later?
07:52 I mean, is this a hatchet show?
07:53 I'm here at the after party talking about my kids,
07:56 I'm a family man, I'm a doctor, and now, whoa.
07:59 - Raking out the scalp.
08:00 - Whoa.
08:01 - There's a poll online ranking Ken's worst guesses.
08:05 What's your strategy when guessing behind the mask?
08:08 'Cause I know you usually think you're right.
08:10 - Well, I, you know.
08:11 - Well.
08:12 - Well.
08:13 (laughing)
08:15 - Ken's worst guesses.
08:18 - Honestly, I don't remember some of these guesses.
08:23 Yes, I do, yes, yes.
08:24 - Austin Butler as the doll.
08:26 - Austin Butler, I thought it was Austin Butler.
08:28 - The moves.
08:29 - He had these moves, he had these,
08:32 I really thought it was Austin Butler.
08:34 I really thought Rebecca Romijn was a UFO.
08:36 I really think these things,
08:39 and that's why in my mind, I'm undefeated on the Masked Singer
08:43 look it up, in my mind.
08:44 Look it up on my wiki, which I edited myself.
08:47 - Okay.
