Overview
- Executive producer Brian Teta announced on the show’s official podcast that the cohosts will not wear Halloween costumes this year.
- Entertainment Weekly first reported the decision earlier the same day before the podcast confirmation.
- Producers plan to keep the broadcast live with Hot Topics rather than staging a pre-taped costume show.
- The recurring “Boo Are You Wearing?” segment will return, featuring children in outfits inspired by the year’s big moments.
- Teta teased a “little surprise” to open the episode, and Alyssa Farah Griffin noted that lighthearted costumes feel out of place given current topics.
