Episode description as stored

Jason Sudeikis pulled up to ALL THE SMOKE with Ted Lasso Season 4 out now and it turns out the man could hoop!? Before Hollywood, he was a flashy JUCO point guard at Fort Scott Community College and he and Stak almost crossed paths in the Jayhawk Conference. We got into why Lasso is the most personal thing he's ever made, the Tony Parker and Thierry Henry moment that told him the idea had legs, and why Apple was the only one willing to take a shot on it. He also opened up on scalping his Bulls tickets to pay rent in Chicago, what Chris Rock told him right before his SNL audition, and why he calls Lorne Michaels coach. Plus, Jason talked WNBA ahead of the playoffs coming up. 0:00:00 - Why Sudeikis never breaks on SNL 0:02:24 - He and Stak almost met in JUCO 0:14:37 - Why Ted Lasso is his most personal work 0:25:57 - The Paul Rudd VHS tape that started it all 0:28:46 - Chicago comedy and Michael Jordan 0:36:19 - AD Break: DraftKings, NBA 2K27, Manscaped, Cigars International 0:40:53 - Shows for 6 people at Second City, then SNL 0:48:07 - Lorne Michaels 0:55:08 - Will Forte 0:56:08 - Hall Pass 1:07:02 - Why Apple was the only one to bet on Ted Lasso 1:10:05 - State of women’s basketball, Caitlin Clark, Liberty season tickets 1:19:38 - Quick hitters Learn more about your ad choices.
