Jason Sudeikis Baffled by Joy Behar’s Claim She Almost Played His Mom on ‘Ted Lasso’
In a new panel interview, Ted Lasso co-creators and stars Brendan Hunt and Jason Sudeikis disputed claims by Joy Behar that she had been approached to make a guest appearance on the third season of the smash hit show.
This week, Behar had said on The View that the weather in London contributed to her decision to decline the role of Ted Lasso’s mom. The Season 3 part ultimately went to Becky Ann Baker, who scored an Emmy nomination for the role.
“There was a heat wave going on at that time, like, 100-degree weather, and I’d have to get on a plane and go in the middle of the heat,” Behar said on her show’s Behind the Table podcast. “Listen, I’m a writer, I write my own stuff, I don’t care about other people’s stuff. I don’t need to be in everything.”
