The Masked Singer: Bob Saget Revealed as Squiggly Monster in Group C Playoffs

"What you guys do here is why I wanted to do this," the eliminated celeb said of why they entered the Fox signing competition

The Masked Singer worked its magic on Wednesday night for the Group C playoffs.

After Broccoli, Jellyfish, Mushroom and Squiggly Monster took the stage for their second performances of the season, host Nick Cannon brought out an additional clue hidden in a magic lamp. Cannon also introduced a guest judge disguised as Mr. TV, who sang "Memories" by Maroon 5 before taking a seat at the panelists' desk alongside Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke. Under the tube TV mask: season 2 winner Wayne Brady.

The performances continued with the first Group C contestant, Mushroom, who served up myriad Mean Girls references in their clue package and stunned with a take on Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time."

"You might be unbeatable,” McCarthy told Mushroom. Broccoli went on to serenade Scherzinger with Lionel Richie's "Hello" and McCarthy thought she pieced together a clue with numbers that corresponded to the name "Frank."

Squiggly Monster kept the show going with a rendition of “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones, which Jeong called "the most fun performance of the night." Cannon also asked Squiggly Monster a fan question from Twitter about whether he'd been married. "Oh yes, I'm married, but Nick, I never got your wedding gift," Squiggly Monster joked.

Jellyfish wrapped up the evening by offering hints about her parents' importance in her life and giving a soulful cover of Patsy Cline's "Crazy." Said Scherzinger: "That was definitely the performance of the night."

Once all the votes had been counted, Cannon announced that, despite campaigning in his clue package, Squiggly Monster received the least amount of votes and wouldn't be moving forward in the singing competition. McCarthy and Thicke both put Bob Saget down for their first impression guesses, and Jeong switched his from Fabio to the Full House star. Even guest judge Brady suggested Saget — and they were all right!

"What you guys do here is why I wanted to do this," said the actor and comedian, 64. "Because, you know, we're all going through a tough time. I get to be part of your joy and it's needed so bad. They said, 'Do you want to be Squiggly Monster?' And they sent me a picture and I said, 'Yeah!' "

Jeong recalled when he first encountered Saget at a comedy club early on in his career and the How I Met Your Mother narrator offered support. "You can tell when someone is special and when someone is funny and someone is a comedian at heart," Saget said. "Not only that, but you were a doctor — you gave me a free exam."

When Cannon asked Saget about the best part of being in the Squiggly Monster consume, the America's Funniest Home Videos host quipped: "Taking it off."
