Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are going all out for Halloween.
The couple celebrated the holiday with their annual costume changing event on Friday’s broadcast of “Live with Kelly and Mark.”
The ABC talk show opened with a spoof of the Apple TV+ series, “Severance,” starring Alix Earle, and a dance number by the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
Ripa and Consuelos then came onstage dressed as the popular plush toys: Labubus.
“Well, well, we are the mystical monsters who’ve taken over the world, one surprise box at a time: Labubus!” Ripa exclaimed, before she and her husband bumped their stomachs together.
The pop culture references kept on coming.
The “All My Children” alums transformed into Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, replicating the set of the football star’s “New Heights” podcast.
Earlier this year, the pop star, 35, announced the title of her latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” on the podcast.
Ripa teased that she and Consuelos felt “infectiously joyful” that they came to work on their day off to dress in costumes.
The pair has actually been filming bits of this Halloween special for weeks, but that didn’t stop them from putting on a multitude of epic costumes the day of.
Next up, Ripa’s former co-host, Ryan Seacrest, made a pre-taped appearance as he introduced a singing competition called “Kitchen Idol.”
Ripa was Chappell Roan, while Consuelos dressed as Benson Boone.
The program later turned into the dating series “Love Island,” with “Live” producer Michael Gelman going shirtless, sporting a speedo, wig and jacket. Ripa and Consuelos opted for T-shirts printed with bathing suit designs.
Ripa and Consuelos also donned “Hamilton” looks and welcomed Jerry O’Connell for a sketch that had Ripa trying to purchase a mahjong team.
The skit was poking fun at the author and “Riverdale” actor’s “Running With the Wolves” documentary where they acquired a European soccer team.
Rounding out the episode, Ripa and Consuelos were characters from “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.”
“It’s hard to believe that another Halloween show is over. But, you know what that means! It’s time for another holiday season,” Ripa said, before the duo changed into Christmas-themed outfits, while the Cowboys cheerleaders performed to holiday music.
On Thursday, the star told People, “Oh, we never have any idea who we’re dressed as.”
“That’s why we’re so good at keeping everything secret. They tell me about 100 times and even when I’m in the costume I’m like, ‘Wait, who am I again?’ “
Last year, the show did an “Only Halloween in the Building” special.
Ripa and Consuelos dressed as Swift and Kelce, from when the celebs attended the US Open in September 2024.
The duo also transformed into Lady Deadpool and Deadpool, paying homage to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, in addition to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars from their hit song “Die with a Smile.“
