Try This Easy DIY To Transform The Iconic SNL Celebrity Jeopardy Skit into a Group Halloween Costume

In your opinion, what's the Saturday Night Live skit that EVERYONE knows? 

For me, it's More Cowbell and Celebrity Jeopardy. Though, I often laugh myself to tears with Lawerence Welk's Maharelle Sister's Skit.

So, I think we can agree that EVERYONE has seen the iconic game show gone wrong, Celebrity Jeopardy skit with Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek. Right? My favorites were always the skits including Potty Mouth, Sean Connery (Darrell Hammond) and Rebellious, Burt Reynolds (Norm Macdonald) aka Turd Ferguson. 

So, we decided this year was the year to take our love for the skit and bring it to life in Halloween form. The results were definitely beyond our expectations and we couldn't keep a straight face while shooting the pictures for the reveal. Let's just say, Sean Connery really got into character for this one. 

Let's talk about making the costumes come to life. 

Don't get rid of your cardboard boxes just yet, they're essential for this one! AND you can even take the podiums to go...

First, we started by shaping boxes into free-standing podiums with duck tape and painting with a light blue acrylic paint that we had left over from the kids bedroom.

We used yellow painter's tape to outline the boxes and a separate piece of cardboard to create the JEOPARDY! logo in navy and white paint. 

And used MCSquares re-usable white boards for the names and card for "Alex" to hold. 

After the podiums were finished, we got to work on shopping our closets for the costumes. 

For Alex: we went with a light colored suit, white shirt and red tie and oversized brown leather shoes. We really wanted the hair and makeup to be the focal point so we teased and pinned back his hair and drew a very strong mustache using eye liner. 

Next, Burt, er, Turd: A leather jacket, bolo tie and red shirt was key. We bought a foam hat off of amazon to complete the look with a massive drawn on mustache a la Burt Reynolds. 

Finally, Sean Connery: A black turtleneck, suede jacket and lots of dry shampoo to give that salt and pepper hairstyle appearance with a little bit of eye liner to define the beard. 

Watch the skit on repeat to practice the facial expressions and lines and you're good to go.
