@60minutes: Audiences seemed to love “Ted Lasso,” but getting the show made was not easy for creators Jason Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt and Joe Kelly. Hunt, who played Coach Beard, joked about the response in Hollywood to the creators' pitch: "What's the opposite of a bidding war?" When it debuted a few months into the pandemic, fans flocked, and critical acclaim followed. Over three seasons, the series received 61 Emmy nominations. #tedlasso #tedlassoappletv #jasonsudeikis
