Ted Lasso's Courtside Coaching: Sudeikis' WNBA Finals Appearance

Jason Sudeikis, the brilliant mind behind everyone's favorite relentlessly optimistic soccer coach, Ted Lasso, surprised everyone with his appearance on ESPN before the nail-biting WNBA Finals Game 5! And to add some extra spice to his appearance, Sudeikis totally channeled his inner Ted Lasso, giving some great advice for the players.  This wasn't some off-the-cuff appearance either –  Sudeikis has always been a massive fan of the New York Liberty and shows his consistent support. This awesome display even includes that time he totally rocked out and did his Ted Lasso-inspired dance moves during a game last August— to the classic NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye," (that memorable song also featured on Season 2 of Ted Lasso)! This really emphasized his deep ties with this sports team; as he seemed intent on expressing his admiration in spectacular and completely unique ways!

Commentator Carolyn Peck invited Sudeikis to give The Liberty some Ted Lasso-style inspiration right before that important match against Minnesota Lynx. The resulting speech gave us pure gold! And to enhance the moment, the brilliant comedian completely embodies the character.  Here is that priceless piece of Lasso wisdom that made everyone want more: "Shoot layups," he drawled in Ted's signature sweet Southern drawl. "Don't let 'em shoot layups. That simple. Let's go ladies. Let's cook."
