We spoke with Bill Lawrence about our wholesome hero TedLasso and making the best version of an American abroad: 'You can be ignorant without being a rube.'
. But any time he traveled overseas, he’d most often get recognized as Coach Lasso, a role he reprised in 2014 and which became a viral hit with a collective 20 million views on YouTube.
In true coaching fashion, they put up a white board and wrote out the ways they wanted to change Ted. Things like “Ignorance with humility” and “Dumb like a fox.” Both Lawrence and Sudeikis are fans of sports and sports movies and couldn’t wait to play with that format. “We said, ‘We’re going to make our version of a sports movie because how fun will it be to do all the tropes but to examine them?’ Yeah, you have the bad owner who just wants to destroy the team, but instead of just doing that trope you go, ‘Hey, how’d she get there?’ Maybe you empathize for a bit.

Chris Cuomo Eviscerates Ted Cruz: Why Won’t You Stand Up for Your Wife?Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ostensibly came on Chris Cuomo’s CNN show Wednesday night to talk about the upcoming Supreme Court battle and his latest book.Unsurprisingly, that is not what occurred, as the interview quickly devolved into a 20-plus minute shoutfest where the CNN anchor and senator traded increasingly personal barbs, with Cuomo arguably coming out ahead in the end.

Byrd, who had a complete enlightenment about how hate was wrong, who changed his life, who spoke about it.”After Cruz sarcastically pointed out that he hadn’t “eulogized a klansman,” Cuomo jumped back in and pointed out that Trump has a history of refusing to disavow racism and white supremacy before taking a personal shot at the conservative senator.“He did it in Charlottesville, he did it with David Duke,” the CNN host exclaimed. “The old Ted Cruz, who he called Lyin’ Ted when he wasn’t insulting your wife and father. What happened to that, Ted? I don’t know if he changed or just you changed, for some reason.”The CNN host was, naturally, referencing the contentious 2016 Republican presidential primary between Trump and Cruz, which featured Trump tweeting out insults about Cruz’s wife and peddling baseless conspiracies about Cruz’s father being involved in JFK’s assassination, among other things. Cruz, despite the very personal insults made by Trump, eventually backed the current president during the 2016 elec

What the Texas senator got, instead, was dragged by Cuomo, who helpfully reminded Cruz that he is a man who remains very dedicated to Trump, despite the fact that the president called Cruz’s wife a fuggo not so long ago.
