The character of Ted Lasso first appeared in 2013 as part of NBC Sports promoting their coverage of the Premier League, portrayed by Jason Sudeikis.
[2] Sudeikis and collaborators Brendan Hunt and Joe Kelly started working on a project around 2015, which evolved further when Lawrence joined the series.
They did record an alternate scene of Rebecca singing Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" in case the strategy did not work.
[2] Other actors who are credited as series regulars include Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Nick Mohammed, and Juno Temple.
Ted Lasso's 'Make Rebecca Great Again' makes it clear that there's no darkness these characters can't come out of, and it's beautiful in more ways than I have words for.
"[7] Mads Lennon of FanSided wrote, "As a big fan of the Keeley/Rebecca relationship, I loved seeing them together in this episode, especially as Keeley made it obvious she has a legitimate crush on Rebecca.
"[8] Daniel Hart of Ready Steady Cut gave the episode a 4 star rating out of 5 wrote, "Ted Lasso continues to impress and 'Make Rebecca Great Again' is surprisingly emotionally moving as characters come to terms with their losses.
Because as good a game face as he previously put on when agreeing to 'let go' of Michelle, this week Sudeikis made it clear to us that it was in fact hurting the optimist so, so much.
