As you may or may not have heard, the Chicago Cubs won the World Series for the first time in a long ass time (aka 108 years) this past week. And with that Game 7 win came a celebration worthy of more than a century of pent up jubilation, which manifested itself in full Friday with a massive victory parade that wasn't attended by the five million people that were reported to be there, but was nevertheless still an insanely gigantic gathering.
What comes next is the standard for any team celebrating a championship: Inflated expectations, a ring ceremony, and the opportunity to star in local mattress/used car ads over the next 50 years for the players on the roster. But, before all that can commence, a trio of players—outfielder Dexter Fowler, catcher David Ross, and first baseman Anthony Rizzo—got to prolong the 2016 celebration by heading to New York to appear on Saturday Night Live, where they made a short but sweet cameo stripping for an old lady (Aidy Bryant) who is dead or something.
Later on, during the Weekend Update segment, the same players performed "Go Cubs Go," which, for the uninitiated, is the song the team blasts out its speakers at Wrigley Field after every win. They did so alongside show alum Bill Murray, who you probably figured out was a Cubs fan during the hundreds of times FOX cutaway to him in the stands during the series:
Enjoy the moment Cubs fans—after all, nobody has to tell you this has been a long time coming.
