‘THE TODAY SHOW’ ANCHORS’ ‘PEANUTS’ COSTUMES ARE THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES


GOOD GRIEF!

The anchors of the Today Show continued their annual tradition of debuting their
complementary Halloween costumes on Friday’s broadcast, and they’re filling
their viewers with fright.

In honor of the upcoming Peanuts movie, the TV personalities dressed up as your
favorite Peanuts characters, ranging from Charlie Brown and Snoopy to Lucy and
Linus Van Pelt, Peppermint Patty, Schroeder, and even Woodstock. For most of us,
dressing up as any of those characters might involve a wardrobe change (and
maybe some face paint for Snoopy and Woodstock). But the Today Show loves to
take up to another level with the prosthetics to boot, and the results are
horrifying.































The Today Show provided a terrifying video of Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie, Al
Roker, Kathie Lee Gifford, Hoda Kotb, and the rest of the gang coming out for
their reveals. Even Regis Philbin stopped by as the Red Baron.

It’s hard to impress the Internet with anything anymore, but it’s also just as
hard to terrify them. And Today’s unintentional attempt was a slam-dunk.

In particular, it was Carson Daly’s take on Linus—stringy hair and all—that may
have unnerved people the most. Even the person who runs the Today Show’s Twitter
account couldn’t resist making a jab at the expense of Daly.

And what may be even more frightening? The unforeseen consequences of trying to
make an accurate cartoon costume.

“Kids could catch it as they wait for the bus to come,” Esquire’s Matt Miller
wrote. “And 10 years from now, they’ll try to explain to their therapist where
their inexplicable fear of the Peanuts characters began.”

Sweet dreams, everyone.
