The Masked Singer reveals Chess Piece as Emmy-nominated TV star after Ken Jeong's perfect 'I'm Just Ken' performance

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Masked Singer season 12, episode 5, "Barbie Night."

There was an explosion of pink, dream cars, big hair, and saccharine over-exuberance on The Masked Singer this week, which was a-okay because it was Barbie Night!

To celebrate the iconic doll's 65th anniversary, the Men in Black became the Men in Pink, panelists Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Rita Ora, Robin Thicke, and Ken Jeong shared their favorite Barbie memories (which ended in a total roasting of Jeong, a.k.a. "Failed Comedian Barbie"), and the remaining Group B contestants sang fitting girl-power anthems.

But, best of all, Jeong kicked off the pink-tinged festivities with a performance of "I'm Just Ken" from the movie Barbie that we didn't know we needed in our lives. The hilarious moment culminated in Jeong sitting atop a giant pink horse, making him look comically small in the process. Eat your heart out, Ryan Gosling.

The rest of the episode was pretty standard, with performances from the masked celebrities including “Dance the Night” by Dua Lipa (Bluebell), "Miss Independent" by Ne-Yo (Goo), "I’m Every Woman" by Chaka Khan (Chess Piece), and "Skyscraper" by Demi Lovato (Wasp). They all brought their A-game, forcing a tough decision on the panelists and audiences when it came time to vote.

Unfortunately, the name of the game is sending someone home every week, and this week, the singer who went home in the Barbie Dream Camper was Chess Piece.

Sorry, Barbie, but the panel struggled with their guesses this week, with no one correctly guessing Chess Piece's true identity. McCarthy-Wahlberg picked Serena Williams, Jeong guessed Issa Rae, Ora chose Tyra Banks, and Thicke opted for Misty Copeland.

In the end, Emmy-nominated Orange Is the New Black actress, producer, and LGBTQ activist Laverne Cox was unmasked. Checkmate, indeed.

And thus, Barbie Night on The Masked Singer came to a close. There won't be an episode next week (a rerun will air instead), but the following week will feature the Group B Finals in '60s Night. Unless the Ding Dong Keep It On bell is used, this means two people will be going home before we meet the final batch of singers for the season in Group C. The final grouping is set to include the Strawberry Shortcake, Sherlock Hound, Royal Knight, Macaron, and Ice King masks.

In addition to Cox, the other major names unveiled so far in season 12 include John Elway as Leaf Sheep, Andy Richter as Dust Bunny, Paula Cole as Ship, Marsai Martin as Woodpecker, and Yvette Nicole Brown as Showbird.

The season 12 contestants boast a combined 21 Grammy nominations, 68 million records sold worldwide, 336 years in the spotlight, 14 Emmy nominations, 67 million records sold, 4988 television appearances, 115 magazine covers, and 5 know Taylor Swift!
