In one of the episodes linked at the bottom of the page (the one with Jordan), the sign in the window says "Every Sunday Bill Swernski's Super Fans on WCBM" Is there any other evidence that says that Swernski should be Swerski, other than that's what it sounds like they're saying? How would one go about changing the name of an article? Mlaird1 01:11, 25 January 2007 (UTC)


I overhauled the original article, adding a LOT of details and removing POV. It is no longer an orphan either. My only problem is renaming it. The best title would actually be "Superfans" or "The Superfans," as the characters sometimes appeared in sketches with other names (including "Bob Swerski's Superfans." --Feitclub 23:21, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)

This was always one of my favorite SNL bits, especially since my favorite sports teams all make their homes in Chicago.

There are references to Bob Swerski... is it supposed to be Bill? dave 06:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Bill Swerski was the original host, played by Joe Mantegna. George Wendt hosted the remaining shows as Bob Swerski, with the running gag being Bill was in the hospital "recovering from his most recent heart attack." J-Red 02:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)Outtaherephils


In what year did the Superfans appear at the celebration of the Bulls' championship victory? This was a pretty significant Superfans event, with the NBC network actually cutting in to regular national daytime programming to televise the appearance of the characters. I am surprised that it didn't warrent a mention in this article.--Drvanthorp 06:11, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
