Milwaukee’s very own National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum dropped a Charlie Berens bobblehead Friday. The comedian, “Manitowoc Minute” anchor and social media sensation’s likeness has already sold out within a couple hours.
While you’re out of luck if you want to buy one now, you can still pre-order one from the batch set to be released in April. The bobblehead, which depicts Berens in his signature camo jacket and “Ope” hat, is going for $25 a pop plus $8 shipping.
Nominations are open for the 2024 Unity Awards!

“Charlie Berens is a state treasure with his ability to keep the people informed,” Phil Sklar, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO, said in a news release. “Wisconsinites love laughing at themselves and Berens has found just the right way to tickle their funny bones.”
The limited-edition Berens bobblehead joins a long line of Hall of Fame bobbleheads, including but absolutely not limited to the Mona Lisa, Queen Elizabeth, Pope Francis, Mike Pence with a fly on his head, Bart Starr, the Milverine and Kato Kaelin.
Berens also just released a book The Midwest Survival Guide: How We Talk, Love, Work, Drink, and Eat … Everything with Ranch, and is currently on tour and will be performing at the Riverside on Jan. 21-22.
