Jason Sudeikis is giving credit where it s due. While accepting the best comedy series Critics Choice Award for
Ted Lasso on Sunday night, the actor gave a sweet shout-out to ex-fiancée Olivia Wilde, explaining that she inspired him to write the funny series in the first place.
After thanking Apple TV+ and his entire team, Sudeikis said, I want to thank my kids, Otis and Daisy. I want to thank their mom, Olivia, who had the initial idea to do this as a TV show. It was like, Wow, you and Brendan [Hunt] and Joe [Kelly] like doing that so much, you should do it as a movie or TV show. He added with a smirk, I was like, No. She was right.
