Who is Ted Lasso?
If you don’t have Apple TV+ and don’t know your Jason Sudeikis from your Jason Bateman, you might be wondering why this spotlessly mustachioed American is in this year’s FIFA entry.
Ted Lasso is the name of a comedy television show currently airing on Apple TV+ that follows Ted Lasso himself (played by former SNL regular Jason Sudeikis), an American football coach who travels to England to manage the fictional Premier League team AFC Richmond.
Although he knows nothing about non-American variety football tactics, Ted instead tries to overturn AFC Richmond’s lackluster performance by trying to inspire the players.
Although a cheesy concept on paper, the show’s first season was nominated for 20 Primetime Emmy Awards, becoming the most-nominated first-season comedy in Emmy history. It is also the most-watched television series on Apple TV+, and the most-watched premiere on the platform.
Although more focused on comedy than the sporting side of football, Ted Lasso has also guest starred Thierry Henry, Gary Lineker, Jeff Stelling, Chris Kamara, Arlo White and Chris Powell, offering a little something for football fans as well. .
