Jason Sudeikis and fellow comedian Brendan Hunt were wandering the streets of Amsterdam, high on mushrooms. This was about 20 years ago. Hunt waxed poetic for a couple of hours about the virtues of soccer.
“He starts getting into why it’s called ‘the beautiful game’ and explaining it to me on a philosophical level,” Sudeikis says. “He made it poetry about this sport that I was American-cynical to. I was a basketball player [he had attended community college on a hoops scholarship]; I’m used to scores being 120 to 108. ‘Let’s watch this game that ends 0-0.’”
Yet something stuck. Starting in 2013, now- Saturday Night Live” alum Sudeikis and Hunt appeared in promos for NBC’s coverage of England’s Premier League. Sudeikis played Kansan football coach Ted Lasso, imported to helm a top-level team in soccer, a sport he knew nothing about.
