Show panelist Jenny McCarthy, 48, was left in tears by their duet and joined in on a standing ovation along with fellow panelists Robin Thicke, 43, Ken Jeong, 51, Nicole Scherzinger, 42, and guest panelist Niecy Nash, 50.
The season four episode was the first finals grouping and was filmed with social distancing in place among the panelists amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
A new, wheeled robot also was introduced to provide the panelists with a post-performance clue.
The robot took a spill while rolling out to provide the clue for the Snow Owls prompting host Nick Cannon, 40, to quip, ‘I think the robot is drunk. Robot is lit. The robot is drunk.’

‘No. Absolutely not, no,’ Niecy said shutting him down noting the clue provider was a boyfriend and not a husband.

Jenny guessed that Sun was Demi Lovato based on clues ranging from chalk rock and an oblique Super Bowl reference.
‘Girl, you stretched that like a piece of gum on an old shoe,’ Niecy told her.
The Sun won the most votes after all three contestants performed and advanced straight to the Super Six leaving the Snow Owls and Popcorn to battle it out in the Smack Down.
