TodayShow Hosts

The Today show brought NBC’s 100th-anniversary celebration to Halloween, as the morning show hosts dressed up to highlight memorable programming from the past century. Dressed as an NBC page, Savannah Guthrie led a group of tourists, who closely resembled some Today hosts, through 30 Rockefeller Plaza. They first encountered Willie Geist as Tonight Showhost Johnny Carson’s Carnac the Magnificent, followed by Dylan Dreyer as I Dream of Jeannie’s title character, played by Barbara Eden, and Al Roker as Eddie Murphy’s Saturday Night Live character Gumby. When the tour got to Must-See TV, Guthrie donned a second costume, dressing as Friends’ Rachel Green alongside Jenna Bush Hager’s Phoebe Buffay. The Today show also honored itself with Carson Daly dressing as Ella Langley to celebrate his TodayPopStart segment. And NBC’s unscripted programming was also highlighted, specifically its Olympic coverage: Laura Jarrett dressed as Simone Biles and Craig Melvin transformed into Snoop Dogg, who’s become known for his memorable Olympics appearances in recent years. The real Martha Stewart even joined Melvin’s Snoop Dogg. And, to celebrate NBC’s holiday traditions, including the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Christmas in Rockefeller Center, Sheinelle Jones joined the Radio City Rockettes for a sparkly dance routine. Guthrie’s page even got a visit from 30 Rock page Kenneth Parcell, with Jack McBrayer reprising his role from the beloved NBC comedy that recently celebrated its 20th anniversary.

Consuelos, dressed as the webslinger, swung through the New York streets as Ripa’s Yelena Belova held on. The hosts took the stage as Bad Bunny and Lady Gaga from the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show before changing costumes at the commercial break to Anne Hathaway’s Penelope and Matt Damon’s Odysseus in The Odyssey before they ended the show joined by producer Michael Gelman and DJ Deja Vu, with the whole Live team all dressed as Toy Story 5 characters. Live’s Halloween episode featured more than 60 costumes, including pretaped segments in which Ripa dressed as Inde Navarrette’s Nikki from Obsession, who can’t get enough of a different kind of Bear in Consuelos’ squishy creature, and Elizabeth Holmes as shown in You Can See Everything as part of a Traitors parody.
