| 1 | Joel McHale: "Uh, why am I here, again? You... you do know I've never sung on the show before. You do know that, right?" (plays footage of Joel singing as "The Robin") "Okay, maybe I did sing, but it was an unauthorized performance. But I have been a panelist and every time I do it they're like, "wow, you are so much better than Ken." That said, I want to introduce you to a good friend. It's Showbird, everyone." Showbird: "Thanks, Joel. Honestly, I'm just as confused as you are. I mean..." Director: "Cut!" Showbird: "I never imagined all of this for myself. I was a total tomboy growing up, and a total nerd. Legos, Comicon, it works. I thought I'd keep things a little more humble. Low key. Modest. Not bearing my soul in some of the biggest blockbuster movies ever. Unlike Joel here." Joel McHale: "Hahahaha, I laugh because that's very true. I am jealous, and I know you're a little bit out of your element, but don't worry. You're gonna be just fine." |

Trivia[]
- Robin previously guessed Yvette to be the Harp in season 8.
- Showbird is the only mask from season 12 whose Masked Ambassador is not a former The Masked Singer contestant.
- Joel McHale performed in season 4 as the guest mask "The Robin", so he does not count as a former contestant.
- Yvette & Joel (along with Ken Jeong) were members of the main cast on the NBC sitcom Community.
- Showbird and fellow S12 contestant Ice King costarred on the Nickelodeon teen sitcom Drake & Josh. This is the 4th time 2 costars have appeared on a season not competing together after Black Widow and Flamingo in The Cheetah Girls, Rubber Ducky and Sea Queen in Scary Movie 3, and Goldfish and Gumball in Bandslam.
