ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today were hopelessly devoted to Halloween on Thursday, with hosts on both of the rival morning shows dressed up as different versions of Olivia Newton-John.
GMA‘s Ginger Zee provided a roller-skating take on the singer on the ABC morning show while a few blocks away Today‘s Savannah Guthrie took to Rockefeller Plaza as Newton-John’s Sandy character from Grease, complete with Carson Daly as John Travolta’s version of Danny.
Newton-John even recorded video messages commenting on Zee and Guthrie’s costumes, which aired on GMA and Today, respectively.
Indeed, Travolta was also a popular choice, of sorts, with Today‘s Hoda Kotb’s also dressing as his Saturday Night Fever character.
While Today had a dance theme for its annual costumed extravaganza, GMA also got its groove on with a ’70s-inspired collection of costumes.
Pop culture continued to play a large role in Thursday’s costumes with the hosts continuing to refrain from political looks that made appearances in years past. While musicians were present across both GMA and Today, Live With Kelly and Ryan focused mostly on movie, TV show and Internet sensations in the “Viral Edition” of their annual “Best Halloween Show Ever.”
