You could say his tweet has caused some ~buzz~.
Growing up, Steve Martin was one of my favorite actors.

He was just such a Dad.™️
In case you don’t know who he is (am I old??), he’s a universally celebrated actor and comedian who has been honored with the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award and the Oscars’ Governors Award.

(Though I still think his best work is Cheaper by the Dozen.)
Well today, Steve revealed he’s still got it when he unveiled his 2020 Halloween costume:
My Halloween costume arrived!
At first I was like…what is his costume? And then I noticed a little black dot on his head.

Hang on, let me zoom a little closer…
YES! It is, in fact, the hero of last week’s vice presidential debate: the fly!

a fly landed on Mike Pence’s head
In case you forgot (time does pass strangely in quarantine, after all), a fly landed on Mike Pence’s head during the debate last week and sat there for several minutes without him noticing until it decided to get up and fly away.

everyone making jokes
Twitter promptly lost its mind, with multiple accounts named variations of “Pence’s fly” popping up within minutes, and basically everyone making jokes
I sent the fly. Tell Pence. I want him to know it was me.
Celebs have gotten in on the fun, too — but Steve is the first to actually don a costume.
Pence apologizing to Mother right now for getting to 3rd base with the fly
Even the fly itself is excited about it.
@SteveMartinToGo Wait a second, it’s ME!
The costume’s pretty spot on, though Martin obviously has the advantage of already having white hair.

I would’ve rather seen Steve on that stage, tbh.
TL;DR: Everyone else can go home now, because Steve won Halloween.
