Drew Barrymoreknows a thing or two about joy. So what better Halloween costume is there for her thanThe Joy of PaintinghostBob Ross?
For this year’s Halloween episode ofThe Drew Barrymore Show, the Golden Globe winner, 48, transformed into the American painter and art instructor — right down to his signature afro and beard.
In addition to Ross' ‘do and facial hair, Barrymore also put a little hair on her chest, too. She wore one of Ross’ classic blue button-downs, opened to show off the curls (and her gold chain necklace).

Of course, Barrymore isn’t the only one dressing up for the big holiday.
Ross Mathews — Barrymore’s “Drew’s News” co-anchor and one of the members of her “Drew Crew” — also got in on the action, dressing as country superstarDolly Parton.
In addition to the oversized, curly wig and chest plate, the recurringRuPaul’s Drag Racejudge wore a silver sequin jumpsuit with matching sparkling boots adorned with fringe. He accessorized with a bejeweled belt and oversized costume jewelry, though seemed to skip Parton’s famous lengthy nails.
One photograph from the episode was snapped as Mathews hugged Barrymore, his tall frame towering over hers.

A picture taken upon her entrance shows audience members' surprise at Drummond’s uncanny resemblance to the show’s host. Dressed in one of Barrymore’s favorite ’70s-inspired brown suits, patterned shirts, silk ties and oversized flower pins, the Food Network star could easily be Barrymore’s doppelgänger. Drummond evencovered her auburn lockswith a wig to match Barrymore’s shade.
During her appearance, Drummond sat behind the “Drew’s News” desk before taking Barrymore and Mathews through a cooking demo (likely from her newest cookbook,Dinner’s Ready).
