ANN CURRY, co-host:
So what are you going to be for
Halloween
? It's less than two weeks away, and
Ricky
's here in
New York
sent over five of this year's hottest costume ideas. We're going to get a clue what everybody's going to be wearing.
MATT LAUER, co-host:
I think these are pretty spot-on in terms of what people have been talking about. You're going to see an awful lot of this first one.
CURRY:
That's right
. This first one is
Lady Gaga
.
And I
think,
Matt
, you would look very good in this costume if you haven't chosen yours yet.
LAUER:
No. But, I mean, if you think about all the pictures we've seen of her over the last year in all the crazy outfits, people have a lot to choose from.
CURRY:
Exactly. And you can go really crazy because she is
Halloween
, as one of the experts had to say about her and the -- all her getups. And the second outfit is...
LAUER:
This is the guy who was in the news a few months ago, got a lot of attention for a short period of time, that flight attendant on
JetBlue
who had had enough apparently and he deployed the chute, cursed out the passengers and took off.
CURRY:
That's right
,
Steven Slater
.
LAUER:
This is -- yeah, Steven Slater. This is...
CURRY:
And the great news about this is that, you know, you never have to go without having a beer. It's always -- you're going to be carrying beers all night, so that's good.
LAUER:
All right. Hey, if you look at this next one, you -- I mean, people might not realize -- you have to kind of stop and think for a second.
CURRY:
Right.
LAUER:
Looks like one of the founding fathers. And in fact...
CURRY:
It's the
tea party
, you know?
And I
think that maybe if you were doing this, maybe you would want to wear a tea bag on your -- on your lapel.
LAUER:
There you go. Just so -- because there's nothing worse when you're on
Halloween
and people walk up to you and go, 'What are you supposed to be?'
CURRY:
'What are you supposed to be?
Thomas Jefferson
?' Exactly.
LAUER:
That doesn't work.
CURRY:
But this one, I think, is pretty obvious.
LAUER:
That's right
.
CURRY:
We're talking about "
Snooki
" and -- with a wig.
LAUER:
"
Jersey Shore
."
CURRY:
So you just get a wig and a tight dress and you're
Snooki
, right?
LAUER:
Mm-hmm.
CURRY:
And then this is "
The Situation
." But here's this really funny -- you know some of the other ones? I don't get this one, but
Kim Jong Il
is one of the hot ones as well, as well as
Avatars
. And that's pretty funny.
LAUER:
What was it -- what was it
Jon Stewart
said? And
Kim Jong Il
's successor,
Kim Jong Not-So-Ill
? Is that what he called it?
CURRY:
The younger
Il
guy.
LAUER:
. Yeah, anyway.
