According to the Chicago Tribune, some of the Cubs players will appear on Saturday Night Live tonight. The show is being hosted by Dr. Strange himself, Benedict Cumberbatch, with musical guest Solange. The team flew to New York, presumably with very little sleep, following the celebration yesterday.
The Cubs follow in a long tradition of athletes appearing on the iconic show, as reported by Sports Illustrated. Tennis pros Chris Evert and John McEnroe, quarterbacks Joe Montana and Tom Brady, and hockey legend Wayne “The Great One” Gretzky are among the many that have take a guest star shot.

HEY! Cubs win! Cubs win! #WorldSeries https://t.co/7chbsnnaUy
