'Live's Halloween Show: It's Trending' Dazzles with Labubus, Speedos and Dumpster Diving
The annual 'Live!' Halloween special did not disappoint this year, with the studio audience showcasing their creative costumes in a contest that saw the show's hosts, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, declaring the crowd as the real winners.
In what promised to be an entertaining evening of spooky atmosphere and outlandish outfits, nothing could have prepared the duo for the sheer creativity and audacity on display from their audience members. Among these impressive costumes was the 'Giving Birth' look, which Ripa and Consuelos declared a personal favorite.
The show's creative scope seemed endless, with hosts switching roles seamlessly between various characters in a dizzying array of outfits that left everyone, including themselves, bewildered. With their usual energy levels undiminished by an onslaught of bizarre costumes, the duo struggled to keep count of who was wearing what on the night.
Executive producer Michael Gelman was also spotted reveling in the spectacle, his own outfit taking the form of the Fantastic Four. However, it seems that not every costume is created equal - Labubus proved too scorching hot for Gelman's liking, while a speedo left him shivering.
The night came to a close with the announcement of the grand prize winner: a dumpster diver who bagged an eight-day Danube River cruise valued at $15,000.
Despite being on its new stage for the first time, 'Live!' Halloween Show managed to retain all its trademark charm and wit, leaving fans eagerly anticipating next year's show.

the crowd costumes were straight fire 
labubus tho was a bit too much lol what did u think of the giving birth costume?? i felt bad for michael gelman his fantastic four outfit was so cool but labubus was just too hot to handle 
and that speedo winner gotta be kidding me 8 day danube river cruise is a great prize tho can't wait to see next years show again 
? like who thought that was a good idea? I mean i'm here for it but omg the dude must've been sweating buckets in that thing 
. and kelly ripa and mark consuelos are just being their awesome selves as always 
. btw, speedo-gelman 
. that show was fire tho 
i mean, who tries out a "Giving Birth" costume in broad daylight tho? but honestly the whole thing was so entertaining and festive! i love how the hosts just rolled with it and had as much fun as the audience did 
sounds crazy but hey that's what makes live! so awesome, right? 
The dumpster diver winner is literally the ultimate thrill-seeker... I mean who needs that kind of excitement in their life? 
.
it was so hot they had to give it back from Gelman lolol. And who knew dumpster diving could be a thing? 
I mean, 8-day Danube River cruise is the ultimate prize 
. I would've been shivering in that speedo too tho 
Mark and Kelly are just the best hosts ever for not taking themselves seriously 
. I'm still tryin to process all the crazy outfits they showed off... did we really need a Giving Birth costume though? 
Labubus, on the other hand... sounds like it might be a bit too much to handle even for a Halloween party 
. Speedos? Really? Can't say I blame Gelman for shivering 
️
. But for real tho, that dumpster diver's prize was EVERYTHING 
! Can't wait to see what they come up with next year 
but for real though who comes up with these costumes? 
also, how do they find these people to participate in such wild costumes 
anyway i loved how the audience was hyped up the whole time and gave it back to Ripa & Consuelos their energy was infectious 
also can we talk about the dumpster diver prize winner who's gonna have the best story of their life 
. $15k for an 8-day cruise is crazy 
80% of participants wore DIY costumes with a median completion rate of 4.5 hours 
most common theme: horror movies (73%) 
. The real winner is whoever got to cruise the Danube River for eight whole days though 
that's a prize worth bagging 
, especially when he was trying to enjoy his Fantastic Four costume but was sweating bullets in Labubus!
