Breaking News:BIG SLICK CELEBRITY WEEKEND: Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, Paul Rudd, Jason Sudeikis on drums propel Big Slick to another record
When I first heard that the Big Slick Party & Show on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Center was going to revive the old “Saturday Night Live” skit best known as “Da Bears,” I was skeptical about how they’d contour it to modern times and a Kansas City audience.
But at an event that featured the spectacle of Patrick Mahomes standing on stage throwing autographed footballs auctioned for $15,000 each to Travis Kelce to deliver in the crowd, nearly half the current cast of “SNL” and endless entertainment for a wonderful cause, the act formally known as “Bill Swerski’s Super Fans” struck me as the most memorable performance of the night. While the most significant highlight was the show-stopping “reveal” that this weekend’s efforts had raised $3,973,637 (and now $25,002,638 over 15 years) for Children’s Mercy hospital, “Da Bears” bit was downright “SNL”-worthy but all the more resonant because it was scripted for us.
George Wendt, the “Cheers” star who graduated from Rockhurst College, reprised his old role as Bob Swerski and was joined by nephew Jason Sudeikis in an homage to Chris Farley’s Todd O’Connor. They were joined by Big Slick regular Robert Smigel (the voice of Triumph the Comic Insult Dog). As they ribbed Kansas City and the Chiefs, Kelce wandered in and apparently offered his version of a Chicago accent as he boasted of the Super Bowl champion Chiefs.
