Ted Lasso

Ted Lasso editors, Melissa McCoy and AJ Catoline join this episode of The Rough Cut podcast to tell us about what goes on in the cutting room to make the magic from the locker room.

Ted Lasso is an AppleTV+ series developed by Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Joe Kelly and Brendan Hunt, based on a character of the same name that Sudeikis first portrayed in a series of promos for NBC Sports' coverage of the The English Premier League. The premise is that American college football coach Ted Lasso is recruited to coach an English Premier League team, AFC Richmond, despite having no experience in English football.

So, to overly simplify the whole thing, it’s a fish out of water series.  More aptly put, it’s a goldfish out of water series.  That’s a little joke you’d get if you watched the series. And if you don’t, you really should.  Maybe it’s a case of the right show at the right time, but Ted Lasso and his relentless optimism could not have come along at a better time.

AJ and Melissa talk to us about:

• Zooming with Coach Lasso
• How reality TV experience comes into play for improv
• The challenge of cutting sports in a scripted comedy
• plus, breaking down key scenes from the series
