Jason Sudeikis Now
Since 2020, Jason Sudeikis has starred in the hit comedy series "Ted Lasso," which he also co-created and wrote. The show centers on a football coach, but the real focus is human relationships rather than the sport itself. American Ted Lasso accepts an invitation from a British soccer club to become their head coach. He previously coached American football and knows nothing about soccer. He's actually been hired to tank the team. But Ted's relentless optimism and infectious enthusiasm mean no challenge can defeat him.
This heartwarming series, which ran for three seasons and proved especially timely during the pandemic, earned rave reviews from audiences, critical acclaim, and essentially reignited Sudeikis's career. For the role of Ted, he even grew a mustache. Professional soccer coaches now seriously study Lasso's coaching methods. The show earned Sudeikis Emmy awards, a Screen Actors Guild award, and a Golden Globe. He also made it to Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people and Bloomberg's list of the 50 most influential people for 2021.You should turn Ted into a full-fledged series or show. Why would an American football coach take over a team in Britain? Why accept a job to get fired? Maybe Ted has family issues? Problems at home, so he's looking for something new at work?
