The Best in Daytime TV Halloween Costumes
Daytime talk shows and those that host them have a love/hate relationship with Halloween. Love in that ratings usually tick up and hate in just about every other aspect. There’s the pressure to out-do the previous year’s costume on top of enduring social media’s judgmental gaze. Go big, you’re going cumbersome, and it’s a long hour sitting (or standing) on live national television. Go small, you’re forgettable, step to the side, wench. And while tomorrow is sure to not disappoint, we’d like to step in a time machine and take a look back at some of daytime’s heavy hitters doing Halloween proud. Here we’ve amassed some legends of the field, being, well, legendary.

“Where am I?”
“Who am I?”
This George Washington Walters reincarnated/creation is giving a savory amount of duck lip.
The Today Show:
An innocent sniff.
Throwback.
The agony of Meredith Vieira.
This is actually kind-of amazing.
Al Roker is not afraid.
Martha Stewart:
Bam.
She’s one with the butterflies.
Of course she did.
This is who Martha sees every morning in the mirror; the source of her divinity.
Hello.
