Match 000 | Ted Lasso NBC Sports Character Origins
How did Ted Lasso go from being an unlikeable, obnoxious “wanker” to the endearing character we all now love? In this inaugural outing of THE RICHMOND WAY, the trio of Bonnie Marie Williams, Michael Sawran, and Marc Vibbert head back to the origins of the character in an Amsterdam comedy club that culminated in the NBC Sports shorts from nearly a decade ago.
