Chicago Cubs players Anthony Rizzo, David Ross, and Dexter Fowler joined Cubs mega-fan Bill Murray on Saturday Night Live to celebrate their World Series win with two, uh, different sketches.
First, the players visited the set of Weekend Update, where hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost introduced them as "the winners of Weekend Update's first ever The Voice contest." Solemnly insisting the singing competition is their most important achievement in life, the quartet was joined by back-up singers for a rousing rendition of "Go Cubs Go."
Next, the players teamed up with host Benedict Cumberbatch as strippers in a sketch about an elderly woman's surprise bachelorette party that soon takes on sort of a Weekend at Bernie's vibe. Watch both skits below. Bonnie Kristian
