Jason Sudeikis: JUCO Hoops, SNL & Why Apple Bet on Ted Lasso

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.
