Theodore "Ted" Lasso, is a fictional sports coach in the Ted Lasso series. He was created by Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence and Brendan Hunt. First appearing in Season 1 of Ted Lasso, he is the main protagonist in the series of the same name. In the series he was an American football coach selected to lead fictional Premier League football club AFC Richmond. He is frequently ridiculed for his folksy optimism and inexperience with the sport, but gradually wins people over through his kind and compassionate approach to coaching. He is portrayed by Jason Sudeikis in all three seasons. Jason Sudeikis originally portrayed the title character in 2013 as part of a series of television commercials for NBC Sports promoting their coverage of the Premier League, in which Lasso is depicted as the new head coach of Tottenham Hotspur F.C..[1]
