Jason Sudeikis: JUCO Hoops, SNL & Why Apple Bet on Ted Lasso
ALL THE SMOKE
190,228 views
Jason Sudeikis pulled up to ALL THE SMOKE with Ted Lasso Season 4 out now and it turns out the man could hoop!? Before Hollywood, he was a flashy JUCO point guard at Fort Scott Community College and he and Stak almost crossed paths in the Jayhawk Conference. We got into why Lasso is the most personal thing he's ever made, the Tony Parker and Thierry Henry moment that told him the idea had legs, and why Apple was the only one willing to take a shot on it. He also opened up on scalping his Bulls tickets to pay rent in Chicago, what Chris Rock told him right before his SNL audition, and why he calls Lorne Michaels coach. Plus, Jason talked WNBA ahead of the playoffs coming up.

He stands so comfortably in the present moment, waiting for the surroundings to catch up to him. It's why his humor feels completely unforced and his perspective entirely devoid of pretense.
He looks at his past mistakes and triumphs with the exact same warm, observational curiosity, treating every life experience as a necessary piece of footwork that got him to where he is today.
Sidenote: Him being this ridiculously handsome sure is a bonus 😆
