The World Series celebrations are still absolutely rocking for the Milwaukee Brewers, who took their party straight to New York City this past Saturday night with an appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” Manager Pat Murphy, along with stars Christian Yelich and Brice Turang, made sure the new champions kept the good times rolling, trophy in hand, right into Studio 8H.
“Weekend Update” Gets a Dose of World Champs
It all went down during the iconic “Weekend Update” segment, where host Colin Jost was mid-bit with a “drunk uncle” character who somehow thought the World Series win was all just a dream. Jost, ever the straight man, quickly pointed out that nope, it was very real, because the Brewers were standing right beside him!
Murphy, Yelich, and Turang strolled out, looking every bit the champions they are, World Series trophy sparkling. Yelich, cool as ever, looked at the “drunk uncle” and assured him, without missing a beat, that it definitely was not a dream. Then Brice Turang, clearly still in celebratory mode, dropped a gem:
“And we have something in common, drunk uncle,” Turang quipped. “We’ve also been drinking since Wednesday.”
And Pat Murphy, proving he’s truly the leader of this crew, chimed in perfectly, saying that as the Brewers’ manager, he’s “kind of like being the drunk uncle of the team.” You gotta love that honesty! It’s clear these guys know how to win, and how to celebrate.
The Party Continues to Roll
The “SNL” appearance wasn’t just a quick “Weekend Update” pop-in, either. Yelich, whose comedic timing has been compared to former “SNL” star Pete Davidson throughout his MLB career, also showed up with Murphy and Turang at the very end of the show alongside host Inde Navarrette. These guys were everywhere!
This whole “champions on SNL” thing seems to be a trend, too. Just a few weeks back, before their 2026-27 season even tipped off, the New York Knicks were on the big stage. Point guard Jalen Brunson hosted, with some of his teammates making cameos. While the Brewers’ appearance wasn’t quite as extensive as the Knicks’ full hosting gig, they still brought the championship energy.
After hosting thousands of fans for their massive parade late last week, it’s clear the Brewers’ celebrations are far from over. Taking the party to New York City for “SNL” just shows how much they’re soaking in their first World Series title. They’ve got a whole long offseason ahead to keep the good times rolling and savor every single bit of that incredible, historic run. Milwaukee is going to be buzzing for months, and they’ve earned every second of it!
