Today on 'Megyn Kelly Today': Megyn Kelly Celebrates Halloween
READ TIME: 3 MIN.
Today on "Megyn Kelly Today," Megyn Kelly opened her show by announcing today's episode will be all about Halloween.
"And now your ghost - I mean host, Megyn Kelly," the announcer said, letting all of us know what we are in for today.
Megyn dressed as Shania Twain from her iconic music video "Man! I Feel Like a Woman."
"Man! I feel like a woman!" she said. True!
Shortly after, Megyn rolled a prerecorded tape of her staff scaring her. She then showed the door to her personal home, which she decorated for Halloween.
"Speaking of doors..." she said. After an extremely long pause, Shania Twain walked out of an offstage door.
Shania showed Megyn how to toss the microphone back and forth - the same way from the "Man! I Feel Like a Woman" music video. Megyn did it and was clearly having a good time.
Megyn then interviewed Shiana, who appeared on an earlier "Today" show Halloween segment. All of the "Today" show hosts were dressed as country stars, it turns out.
As Megyn sat down for the interview, she told an audience member near the stage, "This is where the show gets X-rated. You should hide your son's eyes. This skirt is a little short."
In the interview, Shania revealed she wrote her new album while in the Bahamas.
In the next segment, Megyn rolled a prerecorded tape where she and Doug, Megyn's husband, visited the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. It was a wild time where Megyn and Doug were constantly spooked and startled. At the end, a mob of people pretending to be zombies and ghosts surrounded her.
After the break, Megyn revealed Doug, who was dressed up for Halloween by wearing a thin red scarf with stars and a black mesh shirt, crawled on the floor to escape the mob, leaving her behind.
"That was just survival," he said.
In the next segment, Megyn played a pop culture Halloween quiz game. She invited three members of the audience to play: Cynthia, Lindy and Chauncey.
Megyn asked softball questions like, "Who dies at the beginning of 'Scream'?" (Answer: Drew Barrymore). She also showed a picture of the ghost Slimer from "Ghostbusters," asking what movie the ghoul is from.
Chauncey won and had to pick from one of three hidden prizes covered in sheets. After picking sheet number 2, it was revealed he won a trip to Savannah, Georgia. Megyn then said that the other players weren't going home empty handed. The sheets covering the other two prizes were lift, revealing both Cynthia and Lindy won trips to Savannah, too.
Megyn later welcomed the "Today" show hosts to her show, who all appeared in their country music star theme costumes. Highlights include Kathie Lee Gifford as Miley Cyrus and Matt Lower as Dolly Parton.
Megyn's next segment was a feel good story about two brothers with muscular dystrophy who make impressive Halloween costumes.
After that, she welcomed Evette Rios to share last minute tips for Halloween costumes. They were all pretty terrible and were based off puns, including "sugar dad" (a man wearing a baby harness with a bag of sugar inside it) and "it's raining men" (a woman holding an umbrella that had photos of male celebrities hanging down from it).
In her last segment of today's truly wild Halloween episode of "Megyn Kelly Today," Megyn welcomed illusionist Dan Sperry to the show. The first trick was neat, where Dan marked his palm with an "X" and somehow transferred it to Megyn.
He then did a card trick with audience member Joy and was a bit condescending to Megyn. Dan tried to light a candle but blamed the studio AC for it not lighting.
"Disappointing," Megyn said.
"Disappointed by a candle not lighting? The rest of this is gonna be real easy then," Dan said.
The card trick was terrible anyway.
Watch Megyn and Dan's segment below.
