Bear performed a cover of “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-a-Lot during the Group C Kickoff round on Week 6 of The Masked Singer 2020 (Season 3).
“Baby Got Back” is a hip hop song written and recorded by American rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot, which appeared on his album Mack Daddy released in 1992. It was the second best-selling song in the US in 1992, behind Boyz II Men’s “End of the Road”. In 2008, it was ranked number 17 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop. The song hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart 12 weeks after its release.
Bear was voted “Out” by the audience and had to be unmasked or revealed for the night. Not one of The Masked Singer panelists was able to guess who Bear was. Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke and host Nick Cannon were all shocked to learn when she was unmasked. Even the audience and commenters online never expected the said celebrity to be someone who would join a show like The Masked Singer.
Nick Cannon said it might be the most shocked he had ever been on The Masked Singer.
So who is Bear? She’s none other than American politician, author, TV personality and former governor of Alaska and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Prior to her reveal, a video with several clues about the identity of Bear was shown.
Deapite the clues, only very few of The Masked Singer fans got it right. Who could have imagined Sarah Palin on The Masked Singer? Everyone was caught by surprise and never knew that Sarah Palin could rap or sing.
Sarah Palin (age 56) served as the ninth governor of Alaska from 2006 until her resignation in 2009. She was the Republican Party nominee for Vice President of the United States in the 2008 election alongside presidential nominee, Arizona Senator John McCain, the first Republican female selected as a vice presidential candidate, and the second female vice presidential candidate representing a major American political party overall after Geraldine Ferraro. She is a successful author with her book Going Rogue selling more than two million copies.
Palin said she took on the Bear mask because it was part of her nickname growing up. She also added, “You know the whole mama bear thing and they’re in Alaska, you know they’re bear in our front yard. So Bear was easy.”
Nick Cannon said Sarah Palin made the rapping look easy too. Jenny McCarthy commented she was stunned beyond belief and said “You kicked butt, Sarah Palin.”
Here’s how the clues for Sarah Palin were explained. The ice skates and hockey puck are a hint to Sarah Palin being a “hockey mom.” The aces and kings refer to her home state of Alaska, abbreviated as AK.
