Comedian Niki Goldstein was revealed as 'The Big Mouth' on the Israeli reality show "The Masked Singer" after receiving the fewest votes and being eliminated. The show's panel of guessers repeatedly speculated that the masked singer was female, suggesting Tzipi Refaeli, Hana Laslo, and Tzofit Grant, and failed to consider the possibility of a male contestant. Clues presented on stage, however, pointed directly to Goldstein. A camera held by 'The Big Mouth' connected to his family's TV series, "The Goldsteins." A statement, "You have no idea how exposed you are when I'm here," referenced the soap opera "Exposed" in which he participated. A banana peel clue alluded to his role as Yudaleh in the remake of "Lemon Popsicle," referencing a famous scene with a peel in the original film starring Tzachi Noy. Goldstein also appeared as a prankster in "Pasfuzim" in his youth. A record album by Tzviקה Pik on display referred to Goldstein's tribute show "King of Pop," where he sang songs like "Diva." A headline about Shahar Hason and "diva mannerisms" also linked to the show. Director Tzadi Tzarfati, who directed Goldstein in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and "Bravo Sings 90," was another clue. Personal hints included an invitation to Ophira's fourth birthday, noting Goldstein was born in 1977 when Ophira was four. A "Buddy" yogurt brand recalled a commercial he was in, a dog food box hinted at his adopted dog, and a "Get" movie case referenced his publicized divorce. A milk carton with 0% fat connected to his significant weight loss during a recent diet. His coming out, divorce, and relationship with his close friend Eyal were also alluded to, referencing scandals associated with him. Other clues pointed to the play "Assistant Wanted," the band "Chich's Neighbors," and his decision to install cameras in his home, all drawing from well-known aspects of his career and life. The panel, however, remained fixated on female guesses until the mask was removed.
