In a festive celebration of Halloween, the popular talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, transformed its set into a whimsical homage to Tim Burton’s classic film, Beetlejuice. The episode featured a special appearance by real-life couple and co-stars of Happy’s Place, Reba McEntire and Rex Linn, who donned elaborate costumes that captured the spirit of the holiday.
Kelly Clarkson, embodying the mischievous spirit of Beetlejuice himself, welcomed her guests into a set designed to look like the eerie lair of the iconic character. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and playful banter as the guests joined in the Halloween festivities.
Reba McEntire, known for her vibrant personality and impressive country music career, chose to dress as a character from the original Beetlejuice film. She channeled Catherine O’Hara’s memorable character from the unforgettable “Banana Boat” scene, showcasing her creativity and sense of humor. Meanwhile, Rex Linn opted for a more obscure yet equally impressive costume, referencing the afterlife janitor portrayed by Danny DeVito in a brief cameo.
While both costumes were visually striking, it was Linn’s choice that elicited a humorous reaction from McEntire. During the show, Clarkson jokingly suggested that the couple should wear their costumes home, prompting McEntire to quip that she would “never” kiss Linn while he was dressed in such a way. This lighthearted exchange added to the festive spirit of the episode, showcasing the playful dynamic between the couple.
The Halloween episode also featured various segments that highlighted the fun of the season. Kelly Clarkson engaged in entertaining activities, including throwing axes with guests Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone, and showcasing impressive Halloween-themed food art created by Nikk Alcaraz. The playful atmosphere was further enhanced by musical performances, including a cover of the iconic “Banana Boat (Day-O)” song.
As the evening unfolded, viewers were treated to a delightful blend of humor, creativity, and festive spirit. The chemistry between Clarkson, McEntire, and Linn was palpable, making for an entertaining viewing experience that captured the essence of Halloween.
Fans of Happy’s Place can catch the show airing Fridays at 8/7c on NBC, with episodes available for streaming on Peacock the following day. The Halloween special not only showcased the fun side of the holiday but also highlighted the camaraderie and friendship among the show’s cast and crew.
With its clever costumes, engaging segments, and spirited atmosphere, the Halloween episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show proved to be a memorable celebration of the season, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating what the show will bring next.
