A tribute segment with the trophy in the room带着奖杯的致敬环节
Saturday Night Live marked the Milwaukee Brewers' World Series title during its Weekend Update segment on 31 October, with Bobby Moynihan returning as his Drunk Uncle commentator, Variety reports. The story carries Cynthia Littleton's byline and calls the win historic in its first sentence. Deadline reports the same segment, says the team brought the trophy with them and dates its piece to the same night; Glenn Garner wrote it. Both were filed on the night of the broadcast, and neither carries a response from the team.据 Variety 报道,《Saturday Night Live》在10月31日的 Weekend Update 环节里致敬了 Milwaukee Brewers 的世界大赛冠军,Bobby Moynihan 以他的 Drunk Uncle 评论员角色回归。该篇由 Cynthia Littleton 署名,并在第一句就把这次夺冠称为历史性的胜利。Deadline 报道了同一个环节,称球队把奖杯带到了现场,稿件时间同样标为当晚,作者是 Glenn Garner。两家稿件都标在播出当晚,而且都没有球队方面的回应,版面上也没有加入球队或联盟的任何说法。
Both papers treat the appearance as a tribute rather than a news item. Variety says the show paid tribute to the win during Weekend Update; Deadline says the Brewers showed off the trophy with a Saturday Night Live alum and that the players made a surprise appearance. Deadline names all three who appeared, with the manager Pat Murphy first, then Christian Yelich and Brice Turang; Variety puts the two players first and the manager after them. Neither story quotes a producer, an NBC spokesperson or anyone from the team's front office about how the booking came together.两家都把这次亮相写成致敬,而不是一条新闻。Variety 说节目在 Weekend Update 里向这次夺冠致意;Deadline 说 Brewers 与一位《Saturday Night Live》旧将一起展示了奖杯,球员们是意外现身。Deadline 把现身的三人按主教练 Pat Murphy、Christian Yelich、Brice Turang 的顺序列出,Variety 则先写两名球员,再写主教练。两篇报道都没有引述制片人、NBC 发言人或者球队管理层,说明这个安排是怎么促成的。
Nine seasons, and a character with a history九季,以及一个有来历的角色
Moynihan is the reason the bit had a frame. Variety reports that he spent nine seasons on the show, from 2009 to 2017, and describes Drunk Uncle as a classic Archie Bunker-esque East Coast guy with blunt observations on pop culture and politics. The paper calls the character recurring, and the paper's description is about manners and opinions rather than sport. The character last appeared last year, on the show's 50th anniversary special, the paper says.这段之所以成立,靠的是 Moynihan 这个人。Variety 报道,他在2009年至2017年间在节目中待了九季,并把 Drunk Uncle 形容为一个典型的、阿奇·邦克式的东海岸中年男人,对流行文化和政治发表直白的看法。该报称这是一个反复出现的角色,对他的描述落在举止与观点上,而不是体育;该报也没有说明这个角色最早是哪一年出现的。这个角色上一次出现,是去年的节目50周年特别篇。
Deadline does not retrace that history. It identifies Moynihan as a returning alum and keeps its attention on the segment itself: the surprise, the trophy and the exchange with the players. That is the main difference between the two pieces, one a character history and the other a scene report, and it shows in what each paper leaves out. Variety's item is the longer of the two, and the only one that describes the shape of the segment.Deadline 没有重述这段历史。它把 Moynihan 写作回归的旧将,注意力留在环节本身:意外现身、带进演播室的奖杯,以及与球员的往来。这也是两篇稿件的主要差别——一篇写的是角色史,一篇写的是现场,差别也体现在各自省略了什么:一家写了这个角色的来历,一家写了当晚的现场顺序。两篇当中 Variety 那篇更长,也是唯一描述了整个环节走向的一篇。
The first title in nearly sixty years近六十年里的第一个冠军
The win the segment celebrated was the franchise's first. Variety calls it the Brewers' first World Series victory in the nearly 60-year history of the team, and says Drunk Uncle attributed it to the power of suds in a town synonymous with beer, which is where the name comes from. The paper gives the length of the wait rather than the club's founding year.这个环节庆祝的冠军是队史第一次。Variety 称这是 Brewers 在球队近60年历史里的首个世界大赛冠军,并说 Drunk Uncle 把这次夺冠归功于一座与啤酒画等号的城市里啤酒的力量——球队的名字也正是从这里来的。该报没有给出球队成立的年份,只给出了这段时间的长度。
Deadline supplies the result that Variety leaves out. It reports that the Brewers celebrated their first World Series title on Wednesday by beating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5, and that they came to the segment with the trophy. Variety's piece mentions neither the score nor the opponent, and it does not say on which day the title was won. Neither story gives a parade date, a list of who else traveled, or any detail of the club's plans for the winter.Deadline 提供了 Variety 没有写的结果。它报道,Brewers 周三在第五场以4比1击败 Tampa Bay Rays,拿下队史首个世界大赛冠军,随后带着奖杯来到这个环节。Variety 的稿件既没有比分,也没有对手,更没有写冠军是哪一天拿到的。两篇报道都没有给出游行日期、随行人员名单,也没有写到球队这个冬天的安排。
Yelich, Turang and Murphy walk onYelich、Turang 与 Murphy 走上现场
Three members of the organization walked on set. Variety reports that Drunk Uncle was surprised by the arrival of the slugger Christian Yelich, the second baseman Brice Turang and the manager Pat Murphy, and that Yelich reassured him: “Don’t worry Drunk Uncle,” Yelich told Moynihan. “It wasn’t a dream.” Variety says the three arrived just as the character was beginning to wallow.球队有三人走上了现场。Variety 报道,Drunk Uncle 被重炮手 Christian Yelich、二垒手 Brice Turang 和主教练 Pat Murphy 的现身吓了一跳;Yelich 安慰他说,这不是一场梦。该报说,三人出现的时候,这个角色正要开始自怜。
Murphy introduced himself with a line about the job. Variety reports that he told Drunk Uncle that being a baseball manager is “kind of like being the Drunk Uncle of the team.” Moynihan then looked up at the 6-foot-4 Yelich and declared, “I know you — you’re Pete Davidson.” Deadline renders the same line as, “Hey, I know you. You’re Pete Davidson, right?” and adds that all of them admitted to getting drunk since the win. Neither paper says whether the players stayed for the rest of the broadcast.Murphy 用一句关于自己工作的话作了自我介绍。Variety 报道,他对 Drunk Uncle 说,当棒球主教练有点像当球队里的 Drunk Uncle。随后 Moynihan 抬头看着身高6英尺4的 Yelich,说他知道这人是谁,你就是 Pete Davidson。Deadline 把同一句写成另一种措辞:嘿,我知道你,你是 Pete Davidson,对吧?并补充说,几个人都承认夺冠之后一直在喝。两篇报道都没有说明球员是否留到了节目结束,也没有写他们在台上除说话之外还有没有别的互动。
A complaint about the length of games关于比赛时长的抱怨
The baseball talk carried a complaint. Variety reports that Drunk Uncle told the anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che he was happy for the Brewers but deeply concerned about the state of baseball overall, and that he lamented the shorter games produced by recent rule changes. The paper does not say which changes he meant. Instead of running seven hours, “the game ends in 20 minutes and everybody goes home to watch their gay hockey shows,” which Variety reads as a nod to “Heated Rivalry.”棒球的话题里带着抱怨。Variety 报道,Drunk Uncle 对主播 Colin Jost 和 Michael Che 说,他为 Brewers 高兴,但对棒球整体的状况深感担忧,并抱怨近来的规则改动让比赛变短;该报没有说明他指的是哪些规则。过去要打七个小时,如今一场球20分钟就结束,大家回家去看他们那些同性恋冰球剧——Variety 认为这是在指《Heated Rivalry》。
The rest of the bit was a run of one-liners. Variety reports that Drunk Uncle got progressively more emotional as the segment went on, tossing out lines about Elizabeth Holmes (“I believe her”) and “Helen of Troy was white,” the second of which the paper ties to the argument about casting historical characters in period films and television. Neither paper explains the Elizabeth Holmes reference.剩下的部分是一串一句话笑话。Variety 报道,Drunk Uncle 越说越动情,抛出关于 Elizabeth Holmes 和“特洛伊的海伦是白人”的段子;该报把后一句与围绕历史人物选角的争论联系起来,那是当时一些圈子里正在激烈进行的讨论。两篇报道都没有解释 Elizabeth Holmes 这个典故的来历。
The musical guest, and what neither story says音乐嘉宾,以及两篇都没有写到的部分
Neither story reports what the league or the team said about the segment afterwards. Deadline notes that the same episode was Inde Navarrette's first as host and Gracie Abrams' second as musical guest, after her 2024 debut, which is the only production detail it adds beyond the Brewers material. Variety's piece does not mention either of them.两篇报道都没有写到联盟或球队事后对这个环节的说法。Deadline 提到,同一期节目是 Inde Navarrette 首次主持,也是 Gracie Abrams 继2024年首秀后第二次担任音乐嘉宾——这是它在 Brewers 内容之外补充的唯一制作信息。Variety 的稿件没有提到这两人,也没有写主持人与音乐嘉宾的任何细节。
What is missing from both accounts is a comment from the Brewers or from NBC, a figure for the audience, any indication of whether the players taped their appearance earlier in the day, and any sign of whether the segment ran long. Related coverage on this site includes the surprise Halloween episode of It: Welcome to Derry, Trump's remarks on Nicki Minaj as press secretary and Matthew Weiner's exit from The Chairman.两份报道都缺的,是 Brewers 或 NBC 的回应、观众人数,球员是否在当天早些时候录好了这段,以及这个环节是否超时。本站相关阅读包括《It: Welcome to Derry》的万圣节惊喜集、Trump 就 Nicki Minaj 出任新闻秘书的表态与Matthew Weiner 离开《The Chairman》。
