Ted Lasso may be Jason Sudeikis‘ most iconic character yet — but the kind, encouraging mentor persona was part of him long before he starred in the hit series.

Jason Sudeikis, 45, stood in solidarity with England’s national soccer team at the season 2 premiere of his hit Apple TV+ series, Ted Lasso, on Thursday, July 15. The Emmy-nominated actor attended the Los Angeles-based event wearing a black T-shirt that said the first names of U.K. soccer players Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Bukayo Saka, who were all racially trolled on social media after their devastating Euro 2020 loss to Italy on Sunday. Jason plays the manager of an English soccer club in Ted Lasso, so it seemed fitting that he would throw his support behind the players after they were subjected to the horrific racist comments.

Sending a message. Jason Sudeikis showed up to the Ted Lasso season 2 premiere on Thursday, July 15, and to no one’s surprise, he skipped out on his suit.

Four people have been arrested in relation to the abuse.

Trigger WarningIn a major act of solidarity, Emmy-nominated actor wore a distinctive black sweatshirt with the names of Black English football players. These three players were recently at the receiving end of brazen racist attacks after England lost the Euro 2020 final against Italy.

Season 2 of Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso, starring Jason Sudeikis as an American college football coach recruited by an English Premier League team, could not have been timed better. The series just set a new Emmy nominations record for a freshman comedy with 20 noms, and English soccer’s popularity in the U.S. is higher than ever following England’s dream run to the Euro 2020 final.

Jason Sudeikis has earned praise (and a recent Emmy nomination) for his portrayal of the title character in Apple TV+ comedy “Ted Lasso.”

The 2021 TCA Award nominees have been revealed and AppleTV+ freshman series Ted Lasso is leading the charge with five nominations including Individual Achievement In Comedy for stars Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham, as well as nominations for Outstanding New Program, Outstanding Achievement In Comedy, and Program Of The Year.

Just days after the Emmy nominations were revealed, the Television Critics Association announced their own nominees for this year’s TCA Awards. Not surprisingly, “Ted Lasso” led all programs with five nods while “Hacks,” “WandaVision,” “I May Destroy You,” and “Mare of Easttown” took four.

Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple first met, in a ladies’ loo mere minutes before the inaugural table read for “Ted Lasso,” they barely exchanged words before knowing they wouldn’t have to fake the friendship that blooms between their characters.“It was the most strange thing,” says Waddingham of their immediate connection. “It was just completely natural and effortless … and it’s been like that ever since, both on screen and off.” In fact, she admits, her job “would have been far harder if we’d been pitted against each other.

Variety chief TV critics Daniel D’Addario and Caroline Framke run through the most interesting and exciting honors.D’Addario: “Game of Thrones” is long gone, but here’s one way its impact is still felt — genre has taken over the Emmys. “The Mandalorian” shares the most-nominated-series distinction (with “The Crown,” which at times can feel like high fantasy in its own way).

Jon Burlingame editorThe TV Academy music branch is clearly not impressed by big names.None of the superstars who entered the 2020-21 Emmy competition in the music categories — including H.E.R., Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Sara Bareilles, Dolly Parton and Cher — were rewarded Wednesday when the 73rd annual Emmy Award nominations were announced.Rather, the majority of nominees in the seven music categories were largely familiar composers, songwriters, music directors and music supervisors within the scoring community.The biggest musical names nominated were Marcus Mumford for the theme for “Ted Lasso,” Grammy president-CEO Harvey Mason Jr.

(Very) Good morning, “Ted Lasso.” The Jason Sudeikis comedy just broke “Glee’s” record for most Emmy nominations ever for a freshman comedy.We’ll raise a cup of tea to that.“Ted Lasso” hauled in 20 nominations this year, the most for a first-year comedy. “Glee” nabbed 19 back in 2010.Overall, Apple TV+ landed 35 Emmy nominations on Tuesday.

The good book says joy cometh in the morning, but today’s unveiling of the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards nominations distinctly lacked such jubilation for some.

Schitt’s Creek dominated the 2020 Emmy Awards with 9 wins including Outstanding Comedy Series and a sweep of every top acting honor for Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Dan Levy, and Annie Murphy. But the Pop TV series is all done. It xconcluded its sixth and final season on April 7 of last year and will not be eligible again this year.

How does a show as big as “Ted Lasso” avoid a sophomore slump? The success of the first season of the Apple TV+ hit felt incredibly tied to the pandemic as the Jason Sudeikis vehicle gave people in need of a pleasant escape the kind of diversion that the real world denied them. Viewers fell hard for the undeniably likable title character and the ensemble of memorable characters around him, but the producers have to be wondering if those same fans will return to the pitch now that the world has started to regain its normalcy.
