LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the third episode of 'The Masked Singer' Season 11 titled 'Billy Joel Night', it was revealed that the person behind Spaghetti and Meatballs mask was 'MasterChef' judge and Restaurateur Joe Bastianich. 

It was a stroke of luck that the famed restaurant owner who featured on 'Billy Joel Night' turned out to be good friends with the legendary musician himself, the Piano Man, Billy Joel.

The unexpected connection added an extra layer of excitement and magic to the already memorable evening.

During the competition, Spaghetti & Meatballs and Lizard received the least number of votes, resulting in a showdown between the two. To determine their fate, both contestants chose to perform Billy Joel's hit song, 'Movin' Out (Anthony's Song).'

Unfortunately, Spaghetti and Meatballs was eliminated from the competition, leaving Lizard, Poodle Moth, and Clock to advance to the next round.

Now, Joe has joined Savannah Chrisley, who was disguised as an Afghan Hound, and Kevin Hart, who surprised everyone as the mysterious Book as the celebrities unmasked on 'The Masked Singer' Season 11.
