The Masked Singer: Nikki Glaser reveals identity after dedicating performances to late Bob Saget

Nikki Glaser revealed her identity on Thursday’s semifinal episode of The Masked Singer after dedicating her performances to the late comedian Bob Saget.

Performing as Snowstorm, the 38-year-old comedian was eliminated as the Harp and the Lambs trio advanced to the season eight finale of the popular Fox show.

Snowstorm after performing a strong rendition of Thinking Of You by Katy Perry offered panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger a clue as silver balloons were brought onto the stage.

The balloons read “SQUIGGLY,” referring to Squiggly Monster who took part in season four of The Masked Singer in 2020.

“Squiggly Monster was a dear friend of mine and is no longer with us, and it feels really weird to cry in this voice,” said Snowstorm, whose voice was distorted to hide her identity.

“Um, he was the reason I decided to do this show because his experience was just so rewarding. And I’m so glad he got it before he died. So my performances have been for him whether he wanted to or not,” Snowstorm added.

‘We love him too. As you know, Squiggly Monster was the great Bob Saget and we lost him way too soon. He was great on this show and a great friend and great comedian,” said host Nick Cannon, 42.

Bob died in January at the age of 65 from blunt head trauma from an accidental blow to the back of the head, most likely from a fall.

Snowstorm said before her appearance in the Thanksgiving episode in a package of clues that she dreamed of becoming a pop star when she was a little girl.

“When I was in high school, I took singing lessons. And one day in high school, my mom said she got a call from my teacher, who said, “I’m sorry, but your daughter doesn’t have it.” That was the day my dream died. That’s why I’m thankful to still be on this show. I’m really grateful for the chance to express myself in a way I never thought I could artistically,” she said.

And I hope that I make it to the finals next week and that I can continue to inspire any child or adult who thinks they don’t have it. Because I promise you, you got it. You just need to expose it. If my voice teacher is watching, don’t change channels. Because proving you wrong one day has kept me going all these years. This one’s for you, dream killer!” Snowstorm added.

Snowstorm was eliminated after a three way Battle Royale with Harp and Lambs in which they took turns performing Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson.

Jenny, 50, was the only panelist to correctly guess Snowstorm was Nikki.

Nikki said after being exposed that The Masked Singer helped her “forget all the insecurities I had around singing and really explore my voice.”

“And it’s something I’m so excited to continue doing after this,” Nikki added.

“I’m really excited, Nikki, that you’re making an album where you can showcase your beautiful voice and also make it fun and humorous,” Nicole, 44, told her.
