And, because this isThe Masked Singer, a grown adult dressed as a gobbling turkey presented clues throughout.
They each had to tackle Kelly Clarkson’s banger, “Since U Been Gone.”

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First of all, oh my God, you might sing!
NIKKI GLASER:That’s so nice.
But most people in my life don’t know.
I can’t have like a viewing party.
I didn’t hear a lot of it.
And it’s nice, because as a comedian, the bar is so low.
So if I’m at all kind of good it’s surprising to people.
I’ve always loved music and wanted to be a singer-songwriter.
And then whenTheMasked Singercame up, I couldn’t have said yes fast enough.
And it’s my new passion.
It’s something I want to pursue beyondThe Masked Singer.
And they don’t even know I’m onThe Masked Singeryou know?
People are starting to see that this is something I want to do.
So it’s very exciting.
So it’s safe to say you’d like to record an album?
I mean, I look at singing as something I just started.
And I wasn’t ready to be a viable artist in comedy until I was like seven years in.
So I may release music under a different name, just so it doesn’t get too much attention.
You’re not able to do what you should be able to do with your voice."
There’s a lot of trauma on your cords."
And then I had three weeks of silence to recover from that.
I was very limited in what I could do with it at the time because it was so damaged.
And now I’ve gotten all that damage removed.
And now I have no problem hitting those notes.
I really give credit toThe Masked Singerfor giving me the second chance at a possible other career.
What all did he tell you about it?
Oh, my God.
He loved the show so much.
And we were both there doing different gigs.
We met up after the show to have dinner with a bunch of people.
It was my team and his team and his in-laws were there.
And it was probably 11 people at this table.
And he was so proud of himself.
At one point I was talking about something.
It was just so cute, how excited he was about his performance.
And it made me realize how rewarding that show is.
And he was like, “I’ll see if I can put a word in.”
So I think he had something to do with me being on the show in the end.
But he was just so excited about that show.
He just loved it.
And how was your experience?
I totally understood how he felt when I got on the show.
I was so depressed on the day that I thought I was going home.
I think Bob, like me, he’s a musician and obviously a really good singer.
And he had incorporated music into his comedy acts for years, I think since the beginning.
And I think comedians want to be musicians and rock stars and rock stars want to be comedians.
So there’s always this desire to be something that you’re not.
I made such great friendships.
I was so sad to leave, I got really invested in it.
But I love that show so much.
It’s really changed my life for sure.
I loved my time on it.
And what can you tell us aboutFBOY Islandseason 3?
Has it been renewed or do you have any intel on that?
It was a huge success; season 2 more than season 1.
And we can’t wait to make another, but we have no word yet.
But I’m really confident that there will be more.
It’s one of the greatest shows I’ve ever had the opportunity to have a hand in making.
I want it back, too, so I can watch it.
It was like my favorite show to watch.
And I don’t usually watch my own shows.
So yeah, I believe it will be back, but no final word yet.
The Masked Singerseason 8 finale airs Wednesday, Nov. 30 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
