SNL's Drunk Uncle Cheers Brewers' Historic Win
1 Nov
Summary
- SNL's Drunk Uncle celebrated the Brewers' first World Series title.
- He expressed concern over baseball's rule changes shortening games.
- Brewers players Christian Yelich and Brice Turang surprised him.
Bobby Moynihan's beloved Drunk Uncle character made a memorable return on "Weekend Update" to honor the Milwaukee Brewers' significant achievement: their first World Series championship in nearly 60 years. The commentary segment, which aired recently, saw Drunk Uncle linking the Brewers' success to Milwaukee's famed beer culture.
Amidst his characteristic blunt observations, Drunk Uncle voiced his apprehension regarding modern baseball's accelerated game times due to recent rule adjustments, contrasting it with the longer games of the past. His monologue included humorous asides on current events and cultural debates.
The segment took an unexpected turn when Milwaukee Brewers players Christian Yelich and Brice Turang, along with manager Pat Murphy, appeared to meet Drunk Uncle. Yelich confirmed the reality of the championship win, while Murphy humorously compared managing a team to being a "Drunk Uncle." Moynihan notably mistook Yelich for Pete Davidson.
