'Today' Halloween Costumes, Starring Lady Vieira and Natalie Bieber (But Where's Matt?)

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 29th 2010 09:27AM

After last year's cohesive 'Star Wars'-themed Halloween show on 'Today,' the cast of the venerable morning show went hodge-podge this time around, with Meredith Vieira as Lady Gaga, Al Roker as 'Superman,' Ann Curry as Amelia Earhart and Natalie Morales as Justin Bieber. MIA is one Matt Lauer, who last year stole the show as a bumbling Luke Skywalker (he had some trouble getting out of the ol' X-Wing). Where in the world was the normally show-stealing Lauer? Vieira announced early on that her co-host was busy interviewing former President George W. Bush and sadly, couldn't make it.

Another President, the current one, did show up in the form of MSNBC host Tamron Hall.

Also stopping by to join in on the fun: Will Ferrell and Tina Fey in their outfits for the film, 'Megamind.' Manning the news desk in case the world blows up was Lester Holt, wearing a dark gray suite, but not in a 'Mad Men' sort of way. Watch:

For the oft-zany fourth hour of the show, Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb BROUGHT IT as another whacky twosome, Lucy and Ethel from 'I Love Lucy.' Their segment got off to a bumpy start while attempting to reenact the show's iconic grape-stomping episode. A squeamish KLG was reluctant to get into the big vat of actual grapes and after a few half-hearted laps around the over-sized juice bowl, she bolted. "Well, that was lame," she said before two 'Today' staffers rushed to wash off hers and Hoda's grape-y feet.

M. Lauer decided to be his opposite: A reserved and intelligent moment of silence.

I doubt it..........She would have LOVED it!!! SOUR GRAPES!!!!

By rudewaitress

Sorry Lisa, Lucy appreciated real talent, didn't care one bit for the 'pretenders'. Kathy Lee has no real talent unless you consider crude attempts at humor at other's expense to be talent. She'd have told Kathy Lee to 'Get a life, sweetheart'.

How boring can you get? Another example of why Halloween should be for kids, only.

By jimkimsan

Halloween is a Christian holiday. Matt wouldn't be interested.

By Patricia Aucello

I am afraid that was the most ridiculous and horrible display of acting, singing and Halloweening I have ever seen. Please stick to the fluffy journalism.

By Blonde Ambition

I didn't miss Matt, either. He's so arrogant.

By Susie

Seriously???? Good grief!! This has to be without a doubt some of the the worst attempts at acting ever possible!! And um Meredith.....I don't think you were suppose to actually sing along.
