The TODAY Show cast is once again gearing up for their much-anticipated Halloween special, embracing the spooky spirit in full force. Each year, the NBC hosts transform into a variety of characters, showcasing elaborate costumes and festive wigs that delight fans and create iconic moments on-air. This year’s Halloween falls on a Friday, and fans are buzzing with excitement to see the creative ensembles their favorite anchors will don.
Dylan Dreyer recently teased the Halloween festivities on her Instagram, sharing a clip of past Halloween highlights from the show. “Best day of the year!! Halloween on @todayshow!! Get ready for the big reveal on Friday!!” she expressed in the post. Enthusiastic fans chimed in, eagerly anticipating the big reveal, and praising Dylan for her past performances, particularly her portrayal of Pink. Comments ranged from delight in the Halloween theme to excitement about what this year’s costumes might include.
Last year, anticipation for the Halloween event was palpable, with hosts sharing sneak peeks of their costume ideas leading up to the festivities. Al Roker expressed his eagerness, noting how the team always goes all out for the occasion, and revealed that he had his costume idea ready a month in advance. This collaborative spirit among the anchors promises another entertaining year.
However, it seems that while fans are excited, Dylan’s children might not share the same enthusiasm. During an interview, she recounted how her son Calvin reacted to her costume as Pink, questioning her choice of attire when he saw the design and expressing confusion about her tattoos.
Historically, the TODAY Show has featured a range of memorable costumes over the years. Hoda Kotb has impressively transformed into characters like Yoda from Star Wars, while Savannah Guthrie has embraced diverse roles, including Elle Woods from Legally Blonde and even the pop icon Taylor Swift. Al Roker and Craig Melvin brought the musical “Hamilton” to life as King George III and Alexander Hamilton, respectively, and the duo of Savannah and Hoda have dressed as Elphaba and Glinda from the hit musical Wicked.
With a legacy of creativity and an enthusiastic fanbase, the TODAY Show’s Halloween celebration promises to be a highlight once again this year, fueling excitement as viewers await the festive reveal on Friday.
