Five acts will take the stage tonight, as Clueless Night takes over “The Masked Singer” 2026. Nick Cannon will be hosting, and the panel — Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora — will be ready to make their guesses, all while donning their “Clueless” apparel. Find out who gets eliminated on “The Masked Singer” 2026 tonight with us during our “The Masked Singer” live recap below.
Clueless Night on ‘The Masked Singer’
For this third week of the competition, it looks like the ‘90s hit movie “Clueless” is taking over the show. The theme is Clueless Night, as ‘90s music will be taking over the night.
Last week on “The Masked Singer” 2026, we kicked things off by seeing that The Chrisleys were under The Croissants masks. We then saw five new acts take the stage. The night ended with another elimination, as Le Who Who was revealed to be Tiffany Haddish. Now it’s time for four masks to hit the stage again, and then a new mask will be introduced as the season’s first Wild Card. The fight to be named the winner of “The Masked Singer” season 14 continues tonight. Follow along with our Live Recap below!

Week 3 Kicks Off
The night kicks off with a group performance, as Scarab, Pugcasso, Handyman, and Snow Cone all take the stage. They perform “Kids In America” by Kim Wilde.
They all have some pretty good voices, as Scarab, Snow Cone, and Pugcasso all sound really good on this one. The panelists join them for the performance, as they are all sporting their “Clueless” looks.
For Clueless Night, those four costumes will be performing. However, we will be getting another new face, as the first Wild Card of the season will perform tonight. Since high school is so tough, they are going to be harsh tonight, and two contestants will be unmasked tonight!
Snow Cone on ‘The Masked Singer’
For the clues, we see Snow Cone at the beach. She is rollerskating on the pier as she is promoting her album. Snow Cone said there is one album everyone needs, and it’s hers. She said she poured everything she had into it, even turned down a record deal with David Foster.
However, when she released her album, nobody bought it. For years, she was devastated. When she was at her lowest point, everyone rallied behind her. Fans started buying her album, and the once-abandoned album became number one. The cost of the album was $19.84, and we see a yearbook during the clues.
Snow Cone is introduced to the stage by a snow cone man, whom Rita said has been there before. For this performance, she sings “Stronger” by Britney Spears. There is something familiar about her voice, but I can’t pinpoint it. During the performance, the snow cone man comes out, and she calls him Mr. Snow. It was a very solid performance, and she has a good voice.
Panel Feedback
Jenny said she loves a good comeback story. She thinks she belongs on that stage and will be a frontrunner in this competition. We get a clue from the “Men in Black” that says “Rebooting…” and Snow Cone says that life keeps taking everything from her, but she keeps getting back up for her family and kids, as she gets very emotional.
Rita said this show is so much bigger than the performance. Ken said he’s thinking of someone who’s been through a lot of ups and downs. He thinks her voice sounds like Avril Lavigne. She was born in 1984, and “Sk8er Boi” was written about her travails in high school to tie in the yearbook. Robin said he was thinking of the world of Paris Hilton because of the reality TV mentions, or Mandy Moore, and that era. However, he doesn’t have a better guess than Avril Lavigne, and he thinks that’s a great guess.
As she leaves the stage, we see a little smooch from Mr. Snow Cone.
Scarab
Next up on “The Masked Singer” season 14 is Scarab. For her clues, she says in “Clueless,” Cher’s dad was always there for her. For Scarab, her dad was the same. He always told her she was going to be a huge star and she would be nominated for an Oscar. We then see a rocket as a clue, and a locker door has a “Most Influential” sticker on it.
Her mom was a little hesitant. She didn’t want to see Scarab struggle as she did as a single mother, but that changed when her mom saw her on stage. She said all of her dad’s predictions came true, even that nomination. He wasn’t there for the big night, though, as he passed away a week prior. We see her place white roses on a statue, along with a big heart cookie with rainbow sprinkles on it.
For her performance, she sings “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper. Yeah, this is definitely a singer. She has such a powerful voice, and it shines on this performance. She puts a twist on this classic, and I am a fan.
Panel Feedback
Robin said it was beautiful. For the clue, the “Men in Black” bring out a toaster oven that has a cookie-dough roll inside. Scarab said a lot of baking under pressure to get where she’s at.
Ken said maybe because of the pink and the green, but he’s thinking of “Wicked.” The green reminds him of Elphaba, and she was on Time’s Most Influential list, so he thinks it’s Cynthia Erivo.
Jenny said she is connecting to the strength of this woman. For the rocketship, she said she was in the movie “Contact” and has been nominated for an Oscar a couple of times. She has also been on Time’s Most Influential list, so she thinks it’s Angela Bassett.
Handyman on ‘The Masked Singer’ 2026
For his clues, we see him driving a Jeep. He said “Clueless” stood out in the ‘90s, and he’s been known to stand out, too. We then see a movie poster, which says, “Alien Space Ranger Invasion This Summer.”
He then mentions that a painful accident changed his voice overnight. The Jeep runs over a nail and pops the tire. That is what is giving him the raspy sound to his voice.
He said he didn’t let that hold him back, as we see one of the tires on the Jeep now has a red rim. We see an ice sculpture microphone, as he said, suddenly people could hear him everywhere, including the radio, movies, and kids’ shows. The very thing he thought was too different is the very thing that made him stand out.
For his performance, he sings “Can I Kick It?” by A Tribe Called Quest. Yeah, it’s another voice that sounds so familiar to me, but I can’t place it. This was definitely a fun performance.
Panel Feedback
Robin said this is classic hip-hop. That was an excellent song choice and brought the house down. For his “Men in Black” clue, they bring out a bag filled with candy wrappers. Handyman said he has always had a sweet flow.
Rita said she originally was going towards Vanilla Ice with the ice sculpture. The voice feels more gravely, though. He collaborated with Flavor Flav, so maybe it’s Ice-T.
Ken said Handyman is Mr. T. The audience boos, as Ken said he pities the fool who doesn’t like that guess.
We then see a sneak peek video from America’s Insider this season, which is Kylie Cantrall. She is giving us backstage access to things and just happened to reveal that she is under the Cat Witch costume this season!
Pugcasso
For his clues, we see Pugcasso out on the golf course. He said he came from a small town and thought he knew everybody. Pugcasso says he then saw a girl and fell instantly in love. He is then holding a sign that says “Bye, Bye, Bye.”
He and the girl hit it off, and they were so in love. It was like a real-life rom-com until he got a call to go on tour, which was a world away from his girl. He is packing his luggage, and packs a matchbox. At the airport, his girl was there with a suitcase in hand. He said ever since then, if fame makes him feel superficial, she keeps him grounded.
For his performance, he sings “Fake Plastic Trees” by Radiohead. He is definitely a singer. He has a very strong voice and hits a big note in this performance. Pugcasso is a very solid performer.
Panel Feedback
For Pugcasso’s “Men in Black” clue on “The Masked Singer” season 14, they bring out a Hawaiian shirt. Pugcasso said he likes the beat and he likes cameras.
Robin said he thinks he figured this one out. He knows the voice, and he’s one of the most beautiful singer/songwriters. Robin thinks it’s Jack Johnson, who was born in Hawaii.
Ken said how about matchbox, about 20 of those matchboxes. He thinks it’s Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20. Ken said he’s been married to his wife for over 25 years, and they’ve had one of the most solid rock and roll marriages.
First Wild Card on ‘The Masked Singer’ Season 14
The first wild card of the season is the Crane, who comes strutting out to a Demi Lovato song. The panelists say she is a dancer.
For her clues, she said it seems right that she debuts on Clueless Night. The ‘90s represent everything that she has done. She said she does it all: primetime, films, or billions of streams. She said she’s brushed shoulders with Janet Jackson, Michelle Obama, and even Angelina Jolie is a fan.
We see a sugar jar. Crane said she’s had to work ten times harder to be seen. At times, her confidence was shattered. We see a big diamond and a design in the sand disappearing. She said it’s her own wings that got her to climb this high, as we then see a Nutcracker doll. Crane said she’s not done yet, and any chance she gets to go for gold, she takes it. We then see her have origami birds that she puts in the water.
For her performance, she sings “It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay” by Whitney Houston. Another performance, and another voice that sounds oh so familiar. Crane is a great performer, even breaking out into a little choreography in the middle of the performance. She ends it by breaking into the splits!
Panel Feedback
Rita said she did that. The song choice, the vocals…she is a baddie. For Crane’s “Men in Black” clue, we see some pink glittery ballet shoes. She said she isn’t one to shy away from centerstage.
Robin said this is the best dancer we have this season. Then we see the ballet shoes. Someone they’ve said before, but have never had on the show is Misty Copeland. He said other names came to mind, too. Robin wrote some songs on her debut album, and is reminded of her by the way she sings, but Maya.
Jenny said she was getting Ashanti vibes because she’s got a song called “Diamonds,” and we saw the diamond clue. We saw the sugar jar, and she has a song called “Sugar Shack.” She has a Christmas album to tie in with the Nutcracker.
Robin said the diamond could be a song going diamond, which “Lady Marmalade” did for Maya.
