‘Ted Lasso’ Scores Peabody Award

Will Ferrell Presents ‘Ted Lasso’ With Peabody Award
In an appropriately homespun, humorous video, Will Ferrell announced the award. Star Jason Sudeikis (without a moustache!) responded, saying “it knocks our socks off.” Mr. Ferrell himself will shortly be joining the Apple TV+ roster. He stars alongside Paul Rudd in The Shrink Next Door, which premieres on November 12.
