Steve Martin isn't necessarily known for subtlety in comedy, but his Halloween costume for 2020 might just change that reputation.

You may remember, at the Vice Presidential Debate on Thursday, October 7th, that current VP Mike Pence had a visit from a fly that simply would not leave his head.

You could say Martin and Pence were #twinning.




Pence's contributions in the VP debate were limited to false and misleading statements on everything from economic policy to the U.S. government's response to the ongoing pandemic.

Will the fly on the head become a new Halloween trend for whatever 2020's is going to be?

We wouldn't be surprised if Martin started the trend.
