Both were thrilled about the show’s wins, and Sudeikis shared his excitement about Hannah Waddingham’s award in particular.
“I was really really pulling for Hannah,” he said. “That was a highlight for all of us, especially those of us that write on the show, because we take great pride in the character of Rebecca, and Hannah, you know, from the audition on, just crushed it.”
Watch the interview with Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt:
“Then winning for the show is really, really neat, because there’s a whole bunch of folks that go into this,” Sudeikis said.
“And I’ve said this before in interviews, but it’s really the truth, that Ted Lasso, yeah it’s a character. Yes, it’s the name of the show. But really, Ted Lasso’s a vibe. And that vibe goes through everybody in front of the camera and behind the camera. And so to have the Critics Choice Association respond to the whole jambalaya of what we all have been cooking up is really flattering.”
