Jason Sudeikis (‘Ted Lasso’): Emmys 2023 episode submission revealed

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Jason Sudeikis is entering the “Ted Lasso” episode “So Long, Farewell” as his 2023 Emmy Award submission for Best Comedy Actor. “So Long, Farewell” streamed on May 31, 2023 and is the 12th and final episode of the Apple TV+ show’s third season.

In this installment, Sudeikis’ character Ted has informed Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) that he and Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) will be going home. Later, Ted asks Trent (James Lance) to change his book’s title, “The Lasso Way,” because it was never about him. Trent retitles it “The Richmond Way.” Beard, Roy (Brett Goldstein) and Nate (Nick Mohammed) put the “Believe” sign back up and Ted returns home to coach his son’s soccer team.
