It’s hard to believe that season 7 of “The Masked Singer” is two-thirds over with episode 8 airing on April 27. One of the remaining four contenders in Group C — Baby Mammoth, Prince, Queen Cobra and Space Bunny — will be eliminated by the end of the episode. The fifth contender in Group C was the Jack in the Box, who was sprung from the competition last week and revealed to be politician Rudy Giuliani.
That episode was short on clues but we’ve gone back and rewatched it and have all “The Masked Singer” spoilers, including the answer to the question, “Who is Baby Mammoth”?

We think that the Baby Mammoth is Kirstie Alley, the star of “Cheers” and “Veronica’s Closet.” Don’t think we are right that this Emmy winner is hidden inside the cumbersome costume? Keep reading for our rationale as to the real name of of the Baby Mammoth, who sang “Walkin’ After Midnight” by Patsy Cline in her first appearance.
The first cluemercial for the Baby Mammoth reads like a commercial for hair care: “Does being stuck in the Ice Age leave your hair feeling dull, dry and downright dreadful? That used to be me, until I discovered that it takes two products to not only strengthen my confidence, but also my hair. Introducing my cutting edge Mammpoo and conditioner.” Kirstie Alley pitched Pantene products for years.
Kirstie also was the spokesperson for Jenny Craig. One of her many ads for this weight loss program was a spoof on “The Wizard of Oz”; that would explain the ruby red slippers we saw in the sneak peek of Baby Mammoth. Another made mention of being “circus fat”; Baby Mammoth references life under the big top.
Among the visual clues was a a silver medal with a “2” on it: Kirstie came second on both “Celebrity Big Brother UK” (season 22) and “Dancing with the Stars” (season 12).
Those cheerleaders just have to be a shout-out to her first big break on TV, the classic comedy “Cheers.” And Baby Mammoth references another of Kirstie’s roles in the film “It Takes Two” with the Olsen twins.

Four mystery celebrities hit the stage on Wednesday’s episode of “The Masked Singer.” Baby Mammoth, Prince, Queen Cobra and Space Bunny all sang their hearts out, but it was Team Cuddly’s Baby Mammoth that went extinct. The pink fur ball failed to win over the audience with her fun, but vocally mediocre performance of “The Shoop Shoop Song (“It’s in His Kiss)” by Cher and was unmasked to reveal Emmy-winning actress Kirstie Alley.

“I’ve done a lot of things in my career, but I’ve never gotten to be in the circus,” the former “Cheers” star told host Nick Cannon during her unmasked interview. “I have grandchildren and they’re really young, so they’re going to think this is good.” But what was up with her Mega Clue, the open bird cage? “I have 15 lemurs and I have dogs and cats and birds and squirrels,” she admitted.
Jenny McCarthy was the only panelist able to correctly decipher Baby Mammoth’s clues and name Kirstie as the masked beast. Ken Jeong was wildly off base with Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Scherzinger thought it was TV personality Rachel Ray and Robin Thicke guessed Oscar nominee Kirsten Dunst. The talk bubbles in Baby Mammoth’s clue package were a nod to the “Look Who’s Talking” trilogy. The silver medal represented Kirstie taking second place on “Dancing With the Stars” and “Celebrity Big Brother.” The cheer megaphone was a nod to her iconic role on “Cheers” as Rebecca Howe.
Baby Mammoth was the 10th performer eliminated from Season 7. Her exit was preceded by Duff Goldman as McTerrier, Joe Buck as Ram, Jorge Garcia as Cyclops, Jordan Mailata as Thingamabob, Christie Brinkley as Lemur, Penn & Teller as Hydra, Dog the Bounty Hunter as Armadillo, Jennifer Holliday as Miss Teddy and Rudy Giuliani as Jack in the Box. She came in fourth place from Group C behind Prince, Queen Cobra and Space Bunny. “The Masked Singer” will continue on Wednesday, May 4 with the Group C final determining who joins Firefly and Ringmaster in the Season 7 finale.
