Jason Sudeikis Wins Back-to-Back Comedy Actor Emmy for ‘Ted Lasso’: ‘I’m Truly Surprised and Flattered’
Joe Otterson TV Reporter “Ted Lasso” star Jason Sudeikis took home his second Emmy for best actor in a comedy series on Monday evening. “Oh nuts,” Sudeikis said, accepting the award from “Law & Order: SVU” titans Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay. “I have sat at home and watched awards shows — my mom loves awards shows — and I always bust people’s walls that get up here and say ‘I didn’t think I had a chance,'” the actor started. “And I really didn’t, because [of] an amazing, amazing group that I was nominated with. I’m not overly prepared.” “But I did take classes at the Second City,” Sudeikis continued, referencing his history with improv comedy. “So I’m going to go for it.”
