Ted Lasso: Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt React to Winning Critics Choice Award [Video]

The Apple TV+ series that took the world by storm took home big wins at the 26th Annual Critics Choice Awards this year.

Ted Lasso won the award for Best Comedy Series, Jason Sudeikis won for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, and Hannah Waddingham won for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy series.

After winning the award for Ted Lasso, Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt, who both worked to develop the series and star on it as well, spoke with reporters during a virtual press conference about the series. 

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.”
