The‘Today’show Halloween special had everything: costumes for NBC’s 100th anniversary, a spiderweb cheesecake demo, and one very unfortunate drizzle of chocolate ganache. Craig Melvin, dressed as Snoop Dogg, accidentally got ganache on Martha Stewart’s white pants. Martha’s response was immediate.“Real Snoop would never do this!”
She didn’t stop there. Martha informed the audience that she had“burning legs of hot chocolate,”then laughed it off and went right back to decorating her cheesecake, calling the spill“so sloppy.”The moment was pure live-TV gold, the kind of clip that writes itself.
It also caps an awkward week for Craig, who had a confusing interview with Parker Posey over the word“horror”earlier in the week. Two viral moments in a few days is a lot for one anchor. But honestly, Craig took the roast like a champ, and the Halloween vibes survived.
What would you do if you got called out like that on live TV? Would you laugh it off or need a minute?
