The hosts of The Today Show are paying tribute to the musicals of Broadway with their Halloween costumes this year!
The show’s hosts dressed up on Friday (October 30) at their studio at Rockefeller Center in New York City.
Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb went as Elphaba and Glinda from Wicked, Sheinelle Jones and Dylan Dryer were Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart from Chicago, Jenna Bush Hager was Grizabella from Cats, and Craig Melvin and Al Roker were Alexander Hamilton and King George III from Hamilton.
Sheinelle and Dylan did a fully choreographed routine to the “Hot Honey Rag” from Chicago while the other stars all lip-synced to songs from their musicals.
Broadway is shut down right now, so this was the perfect way to pay tribute to the shows of the Great White Way while we can’t see them live.
Saturday Night Live is tackling the dueling town halls between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
Saturday night’s episode (October 17) kicked off with a cold open playfully poking fun at the town halls, which made headlines for being scheduled at the exact same time amid protests from Hollywood to stagger the airings.

The skit featured viewers flipping back and forth between the two.
“One town hall was a thoughtful, cogent discussion of the issues facing our country. The other featured President Trump,” the announcer said.
Savannah Guthrie, who earned social media praise for taking the President to task, was played by Kate McKinnon, while Jim Carrey played Biden.
One former cast member recently explained why she doesn’t miss being on SNL.
Donald Trump refused to participate in a virtual debate with Joe Biden tonight, so there are two Town Hall events with the candidates that are happening at the same time.
Trump‘s Town Hall is being hosted by NBC and Today‘s Savannah Guthrie is moderating the event, though many have commented on how it feels more like a debate between the president and the moderator.
Democrats are praising Savannah for calling out Trump on some of the falsehoods that he has been spewing, including his retweets of conspiracy theories and his thoughts on QAnon.
Savannah has called out Trump for not having a health care plan ready even though his administration is going to court in November to throw out Obamacare, which will get rid of the guarantee for people with pre-existing conditions. She also called him out on not urging Americans to wear a mask and he says he has no problem with mask wearing.

This ain't no Town Hall. This is an octogan and Savanna Guthrie wants to kill Trump.

Donald Trump is putting NBC on blast at the same time as Hollywood stars.
Following the news of the network’s rejection of Hollywood-endorsed petitions to move the President’s town hall, which is currently scheduled to air at the exact same time as Joe Biden‘s town hall on ABC on Thursday (October 15), Trump lashed out during a rally in North Carolina.

“So you know I’m being set up tonight. I’m doing this town hall with Concast, C-O-N, con, cause it’s a con job,” he said, via Deadline.
“It’s NBC, the worst. Home of Sleepy-Eyed Chuck Todd and some others,” he added.
“I figured, what the hell, we get a free hour on television,” he went on to say, while mocking Today anchor and town hall moderator Savannah Guthrie (“she’s always lovely, isn’t she?”), NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt (“he’s a beauty”) and the town hall NBC had with Biden last week.
“It was a joke,” he said.
“Actually, I’d like to watch him, because I’d like to see if he can make it through the program, he continued.

Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie will be taking some time off to have surgery on her eye, months after her three-year-old son Charley threw a toy train at her right eye causing extensive damage.
The initial injury was a “massive tear” in her retina and retina detachment which cause her to have one surgery back in December.
Now, she will have cataract surgery on that same eye to improve her vision.
“It’s been a long time, I’m super excited,” Savannah said on the air. “I feel like it’s Christmas morning because if they remove this cataract I’ll really be able to see, and I’ve had a hard time seeing.”
About her vision today, she said, “It’s kind of distorted and then it’s got a wavy thing, and now I have this cataract, which is a big blurry spot. Once they remove that blur, I think it will be a lot better.”
She will be taking some time off to recover after the surgery, and added, “Hopefully next time I see you I’ll really see you!”
We are wishing Savannah the best as she prepares for her procedure!
