I don't know which is more cringe-worthy, the fact that the hosts still dress up in costumes, the idea that the costume budget seems about 5% of what it used to be (remember those horrific Peanuts costumes?), or Carson Daly trying desperately to hold on to his youth (on every day, not just Halloween) by dying his hair the most unnatural shade of black since Gomez Adams.

Also, can someone please stop trying to make Natalie Morales interesting?

Kelly as Stevie Nicks, a little lazy

Who is Kristen Welker?  And is the lady with the camera behind her supposed to be RHONY Dorinda Medley, or the old afghan from the Roseanne show?

Meh, I don't mind the cheesiness. They load up these shows with so much filler and nonsense as it is. 

It's funny though how The Today Show has a nice history of doing some very well done costumes, but because so much of the footage either IS Matt Lauer or includes Matt Lauer, they don't ever show it in their flashback piece anymore.

A decade ago if you would've told me that Matt Lauer was going to be more problematic than Bryant Gumble I would never have believed it...

I would call anything Kelly Clarkson did for this lazy. She slayed.
