Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest on Halloween are #Squadghouls.
The co-hosts of Live with Kelly and Ryan don't mess around when it comes to dressing up for the holiday. This year was no exception as the duo threw it back for Live's "Best Halloween Show Ever: The ReBOOOOt." Throughout the episode, Ripa and Seacrest's costumes followed the theme of reviving fan-favorite TV shows, from Friends to Saved by the Bell.
The talk-show personalities made multiple costume changes in the hour-long event and were accompanied by other stars to pull off parody versions of classic TV programs.
There were a lot of celeb cameos throughout the special to help the pair bring back small screen series. Mark Consuelos, Ripa's husband IRL, joined in on the fun for a mock remake of I Love Lucy. The off-screen couple played on-screen parents Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, while Seacrest dressed as their son Little Ricky.
Busy Phillips made an appearance to judge auditions for a Dawson's Creek revival, using her experience as one of the original cast members of the show to critique Ripa and Seacrest's best efforts. The special also featured Drew Scott and Jonathan Scott, who tried out as Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen's character Michelle Tanner of Full House. Turns out, Uncle Jesse's John Stamos did not give them such a glowing review of their performance either.
All in all, the parody throwbacks are fun to watch and bring back feelings of nostalgia, but Ripa and Seacrest probably shouldn't quit their day jobs as morning show co-hosts.
