We’re bear-y confused… Who’s #BearMask? 🤔
Guess with us on #TheMaskedSinger TONIGHT at 8/7c!
One of the biggest hints given early on about The Bear is that she sings Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back.”
“To not be really see anything out of this is really nice. It takes the sharp edges of the world,” Bear said. “I needed this. I love this.”
“I have been both hunter and hunted,” The Bear says in her clue package. “I’m sick of everyone not knowing who I really am. This momma bear is coming out of hibernation. Now tonight I, bear, exercise my right to a killer performance.”

One of the most popular guesses on social media was that comedian and actor Tiffany Haddish was hiding behind The Bear mask. Netizens claimed the raspiness the Bear’s voice matched hers. More, The Bear is rocking unicorn colors, which could be a reference to Haddish’ book, her book, The Last Black Unicorn.
Others guessed YouTuber JoJo Siwa was behind The Bear costume, while some said it was Cardi B.
Guesses from the judges were Tonya Harding, Candace Cameron Bure and Tina Fey.
Ken Jeong proposed it could be Tonya Harding because The Bear talked about coming out of hibernation and being hunted. He also picked up on the figure skating references. Nick Cannon was skeptical that Harding was the performer, he was even more skeptical that Jeong would guess that Harding would reference her skating scandal in her clue package.
Another guess was SNL alum. The package noted that the performer was a mother who stepped out of the spotlight to take care of her children.
The first person to be unmasked from Group C was The Bear. Final guesses were Candace Cameron Bure, Christina Applegate and Jodie Sweeten. (Jeong changed his guess of Tonya Harding last-minute.) Thicke reiterated it could be Tina Fay.
And The Bear Is…
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
So why did she pick The Bear? “The Bear is part of my nickname growing up and you know the whole ‘mama bear thing,'” she said. “This is the weirdest thing I’ve ever done. That’s for sure. It’s all about fun and unity. This is something our country needs for sure.”
“I’m Stunned beyond belief,” McCarthy said.
