Grab the turkey and crack open that canned cranberry because The Masked Singer (Wednesdays, 8 p.m. ET on CTV) doled out a special American Thanksgiving episode on Thursday night. There, Ken Jeong donned a turkey hat, the ladies brought the glitter, and guest panelist Jay Pharoah was all about the impressions as the remaining Group C contestants took the stage to determine the last two Super Six finalists.

All About That Baste

The night was a gobbler of a turkey theme, to be sure. From Ken’s attire and the bird-themed bonus clues, to the general feeling of thanks all around, it was a special night. But that didn’t mean there weren’t performances to plan and the unfortunate task of sending someone home at hand. So when Jellyfish, Mushroom and Broccoli took the stage, we knew that for one of them it was going to be the last time.

There to lighten the mood at least was Pharoah, who resurrected all of those spot-on celebrity impersonations that he used to do on Saturday Night Live. Think Terrence Howard and, after Robin Thicke guessed Mushroom was Jaden Smith, an amazing Will Smith impression. It was so good that when the show threw up a graphic of Smith’s face over Jay’s, you almost believed it was the Fresh Prince himself.

Speaking of Mushroom, he proved once again what a fungi he is by switching up his performance style—this time with a rendition of “Unconditionally” by Katy Perry. And while Robin may have been feeling Jaden, the other panelists were getting The Weeknd or Tay Diggs vibes. One thing everyone knows for sure thanks to the turkey clue is that whoever he is, his name now is not the name he grew up with.Viewers came close to officially identifying both his past and present names in the episode after Jellyfish’s show-stopping performance of Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” went so swimmingly that she was immediately voted into the Super Six. That left a Battle Of The Veg as Mushroom and Broccoli (whose rendition of “Old Time Rock & Roll” by Bob Seger was good, but not good enough to sprout him a win), landed in the bottom two.[video_embed id='2086178']RELATED: The Canadian talent dominating music right now [/video_embed]

Robin Finds Those Canadian Connections

Unfortunately for Broc, voting in the subsequent, final Smack Down of the season swayed Mushroom’s way. And so the panelists were then given one final chance to identify the green veggie. Most of them were fixated on all of the old-timey clues (the performer was born before the microwave was invented, retro Vegas), and pulled out the ranch dressing for guesses like Wayne Newton, Paul Simon and Neil Sedaka. Ken even went so far as to guess that it was Ringo Starr himself under that mask, given the Beatles clues that were in the packages.But it was Robin Thicke (invoking his late father Alan Thicke with his own spot-on impression), who put his “Canadian!” cap on to really dive into the clues. Because of that, he was 100 per cent convinced that Broccoli was none other than Paul Anka, AKA the legend who wrote “My Way” for Frank Sinatra in the late '60s and who penned “She’s a Lady” for Tom Jones. Oh, and he was also one of the first pop singers back in the day to ever perform at the Vegas casinos, paving the way for all those residency shows that happen nowadays.

Anyhow, wouldn’t you know it, but Lorelai Gilmore’s obsession himself, Mr. Paul Anka, was indeed the dude underneath that Broccoli mask. The 79-year-old proved that eating your greens really does do a body good, because his young knees and spirit were the stuff of inspiration for all of the panelists.“It was a great, great kick,” the legend told host Nick Cannon about why he agreed to do the show. “I gotta tell you something. I’m very humbled because we have gone through something in our country. And to have this kind of fun and enjoy this like this, you should all be really proud.”Well said, Mr. Anka. The Super Six would have been lucky to have you. Speaking of, tune in next week when the top performers take the stage in a supersized, two-hour episode in which not one, not two, but three—THREE!—contestants will be unmasked. We’re sure it will be legendary in its own right.Watch The Masked Singer Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CTV.[video_embed id='-1']BEFORE YOU GO: You'll never be as excited for anything in your life as this kid is for an 'Aquaman' toy [/video_embed]
