How to watch 'The Masked Singer' Season 12 finale: Date, time, Wasp vs. Buffalos showdown


Television's most camp reality competition series is wrapping up its 12th season.

"The Masked Singer" Season 12 finale airs Wednesday night, where one celebrity contestant will be crowned and more importantly, uncovered.

The Emmy-winning show, where stars disguise their identity wearing extravagant and often peculiar costumes, promises to unmask both finalists: the Wasp and Buffalos. However, only one will be the season's winner.

The finale promises to feature final performances of hits from Bruno Mar's "When I Was Your Man" and Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" to Sam Smith's "Too Good At Goodbyes."

Last week's episode featured a "Smack Royale" showdown between Buffalos and Strawberry Shortcake. Unfortunately Strawberry Shortcake's rendition of One Republic's "Counting Stars" was no match for the Buffalos and the third place contestant was eliminated.

Who was Strawberry Shortcake on 'Masked Singer'?

"The Masked Singer" third place contestant Strawberry Shortcake was revealed to be singer and actor AJ Michalka.

None of the judge panelists were able to correctly identify her, with Robin Thicke guessing country pop singer Kelsea Ballerini, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg guessing "Modern Family" star Sarah Hyland and Ken Jeong guessing "The Kissing Booth" actor Joey King.

What time does 'The Masked Singer' come on?

The Season 12 finale of "The Masked Singer" airs on Wednesday, Dec. 18 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
