Jason Sudeikis On Why He Wore The "Jadon, Marcus, Bukayo" Sweater 

When he said they were kids, he is right. Jason is about a decade older than them, the oldest out of the three players is Marcus Rashford he's just 23. Even biologically speaking, his brain is still developing. Bukayo Saka is 19, he literally graduated from school last year. (may I add, kid has an impeccable gradesheet, gotta respect those Nigerian parents). For those who don't follow Arsenal or football in general, this kid basically walked into the first team covering for injured players a little over a year ago and then has been played in basically almost every conceivable position on the field for an outfield player and he's answered the call every single time. Even in terms of national caps (games played for the team), he's a relatively new face. Still the manager trusted him enough to bring a 19 year old in their country's biggest cup final since 1966 and even gave him a penalty kick. The kid has backed himself in every tough fight he has been put in. He's a damn prince if you ask me (Most of the Arsenal supporters agree as well). All these three players who missed, they were all black, they were all substitutes, some with close to no minutes in open play. I do not blame them at all, they took the penalty (it's an insanely horrible pressure situation), that in itself is courage under fire. It also doesn't help that they were facing the best keeper when it came to penalties (his wingspan is insane and he's incredibly tall and agile)

I’ve watched Ted Lasso so much I forgot what Jason’s voice actually sounds like

Jason deserves every single bit of his success. What a class act.

We're The Millers solidified him as a fantastic actor with impeccable comedic timing for me.

Big up to Jason for supporting Marcus, Jadon & Bukayo so openly. Class act ✊

Every time Jason gets a compliment on Ted Tasso, he IMMEDIATELY credits the cast. Jason IS Ted Lasso like RDJ is Iron Man.

Always liked Jason Sudeikis. He's a guy who gets it.

Love this ! Well done ! We need to support Jadon, Marcus and Bukayo !

I feel like Jason Sudeikis might be the next Tom Hanks

Jason Sudeikis could be the dude if we ever need another one.

Olivia Wilde never deserved such a gem of a human.

There are very few personalities can successfully pull off wearing awkward shirts/tops. Sudeikis is one of them.

major george clooney in "O Brother where art thou" vibes in that clip. I love it

His sweater looks like a Mike Wazowski-Sully hybrid. I love it!!!!

People also overlook Marcus Rashford's role as the straight man in the Rashford/Lingard comedy double act. 'Yo Neymar, sunny innit?'

Huge respect to jason for using the term “football” 5:27

Can’t believe he dropped Erma Bombeck! What a guy!

Sudekis' Lasso sure is channelling George Clooneys' Everett McGill from O Brother Where Art Thou.

Ted Lasso is a breath of fresh air. Thank you.

Fine, if no-one else is going to say it. MIKE WAZOWSKI!

It’s the matching bracelet that looks like he borrowed it from a 5 year old girl that gets me. 😂😍

what a good dude jason. love ted lasso, been on the ted lasso show from day 1, ep 1

Every time I see Ted drink water, I think he's gonna spit it out from the bubbles.

I was all in on JSuds stock since his SNL debut.

Ted Lasso is the best show ever and Coach Beard is one of my favorite characters

He genuinely looks like a fun person to work with.

What a wonderful human!

Love how much insight and love he gained for football (Soccer)

People do tend to forget that those 3 are literally just kids. Marcus Rashford is 23, Jadon Sancho is 21, and Bukayo Saka was only 19 at the time but yet they all had the guts to step up and take the most important kicks in England football history. Saka in particular, a 19 year old kid stepping up to take the decisive penalty where he knew if he missed it was all over takes serious courage. Weight of an entire country on their shoulders. Yes they missed but the mindset of a couple of young black kids should be seriously admired. Not to mention they’re 3 super talents who will be amongst the best players on the planet

I believe he was part of SNL during the dark years when nobody knew it was still on the air.

wow what a humble dude jason the man

What a class act!

Too bad it's on Apple TV or whatever. Would do way better on Netflix

i had to google Bruce Vilanch lol

Bucket hat? BUCKET HAT?

The missed PKs hurt. But the racism afterward hurt more. As a Chelsea fan I know racism is still a big problem in English football. But it’s getting better

wish you'd give the band & Jon at least 2 more minutes of play time! Their magnificent and spectacular but get cut at 1' or less. What's up with that.

Did he get that at Dan Flashes?

Missed oppo to have Jason give us a little bit of his Biden impersonation. 😎

he looked super baked

I must hear that entire jazz piano piece at the end of each You Tube vid. Please, SOMEONE give me a link.

Lovely man he is.

In his own way, I think Jason has broken the SNL curse.

His sweater looks like a gobstopper.

The sweater reminds me of Mike Wazowski.

I mix him up with Rob Delaney

hey, he doesn’t sound like Ted

He's even starting to use some of the English terms/ phrases

Them Hillbilly boys getting their dear hunting gear ready. Nice sweater 👌

Rashford is our interim Prime Minister

'They caught a lot of guff online'. Jason is an on honoree Brit now

Him… adorable. That sweater… yikes. Adorable wins

For those of you who don't know Marcus Rashford basically single handedly lobbied the government to continue to feed children in poverty when the government planned to stop it over the holidays and has set up a Child Poverty Task Force. He also does a huge amount promoting reading literacy for kids. He's Number 1 on the Sunday Times Giving List having donated £20m of his own wealth. And he's only 23. He's beloved here and we couldn't give a stuff if he missed a penalty.

Jason Sudeikis is the true meaning of the word "mensch"; For Jason to acknowledge the 3 British footballers maligned by rascist asswipes, and highlight feeding kids during the pandemic, when many did not get regular meals due to COVID shutdown, is priceless. Continued success Jason on all your endeavors.

The shirt move at the Premiere was a pure class move. Hat is off to those three young men who have done more than I ever will.

As an American who lived in London for a decade and had season tickets at Arsenal and Fulham, I can say unequivocally that Ted Lasso nails it. They are able to make fun of how the brits see us, how we see them, how stupid and brilliant football is. They just get it right across the board. Well done to all the writers and actors.

Ted Lasso should be interviewed by Ron Burgundy.

RE: the Peabody award talk. My boss at work was awarded a Knighthood last year and he sent us all an email saying, 'this Knighthood is for all of us'. So we all changed our work email signatures to put 'Sir' in front of our names 😂

Big love. These young men were brave enough to take a penalty each, in England's biggest game in 55 years, in front of millions of people. The racism aimed at them was disgusting and shameful. The love and support given to them, however, has (almost) restored my faith in humanity here in the UK. Hate won't win.x

Thank you so much, Jason, for speaking up about Jadon, Marcus and Bukayo and their achievements (on and off the pitch). They and their team mates (and Captain) have done more for unity and solidarity in the UK than anyone else. We need that in these times of division (fuelled by the UK Gov).

Jason is wearing a bracelet his daughter Daisy made for her. How cute

As a Tottenham Hotspur fan, I absolutely loved his original 2013 skit promoting the English Premier League as their new manager, really well done. A talented actor and comedian, and sounds like a genuinely nice person. Best wishes from NZ.

As an England fan, thank you Jason.

Even more in love with this man for appreciating those brave young men that achieved in their short lives....youngest one is 19 then all those fat racist bullies will ever achieve xxxx

Jason has just gone WAY up in my estimation. A real decent dude.

Ted Lasso is the 21st century Mr. Rogers.

He is Ted Lasso. What a great thing for him to shine light on the three players for London. He did it beautifully and humbly.

Why Olivia wilde left him for that One Direction dude baffles me

Jadon & Marcus & Bukayo ❤️

love sudeikis, love lasso

Wow, an Erma Bombeck reference- I feel so old now.

It's an awe to see how much Jason Sudeikis is Ted Lasso irl. Such a wholesome and inspiring dude.

Saka at 19 has made more money ,gone further in education and more respected than any of the shit houses who abused him Rashford fed their kids ffs

Well Done Mr Sudeikis. We are so proud of our England team and will support them through anything. Rashford, Sancho & Saka are three brave Lions. We all love you. Lx

I’ve watched all the episodes 3 times over. I can’t get enough of Ted Lasso ❤️

After years of living in such a negative America…..He has brought back joy, kindness, and love ……nearly cry with every episode…..well done….Lasso Saved America! This show makes me wanna be a better man 😀

Ted Lasso is OK, but it doesn't compare with his Dancing Guy in What Up With That. Now that's a career-defining role!

Big ups for wearing the shirt and even further for putting their first names on the shirt. Ted lasso is always classy

Ted Lasso is the ONLY thing good to come out of 2020. 💕

He's a doll. Kudos to Colbert for avoiding the elephant in the room.

I am English and have huge respect for Jason Sudeikis for being a really decent guy. Thanks Jason x

Jason Sudeikis is becoming one of my favorite humans.

Love, love, LOVE Jason Sudekis! He's the best Joe Biden impersonator I've ever seen. Puts Jim Carrey to shame.

Love that show Ted Lasso. I like that he is putting the attention where it should be too.

As a Brit I love Ted Lasso. Well done Jason on supporting England in the fight against racism.

as a massive football fan since 1981, and as a Liverpool fan since the same.... bualadh bós Jason - brilliant shout out to 3 young men with more balls than the racist pricks who targeted them for abuse YNWA

SO happy to hear Sudekis quote "like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs". My father used to say that a lot but never heard anyone else say it.

Huge Respect for Jason for supporting the 3 footballers who were facing Racial Abuse online. I can't believe an American even caring about them.

Ted Lasso is a gift to the world. Thank you

I hope England fans are happy that they messed up Saka's mentality. Cause since the racist attacks, he just hasn't been right, and it's clear in the lack of passion he's having this season

we gonna talk about the band covering Hypnotize at 1:22?

Jason Sudeikis was also in the Angry Birds movies.

He is hot... not my usual hot but still strangely hot...

he has the subtle art of Midwest compliment deflection DOWN 😂 i feel seen 😂

Where's Evie? Miss her very much.

Genuinely a good human being

Ted....it's draw, not tie ;)

Saka is 19 and took a penalty and unfortunately it was saved, the racism vitriol online after the game was disgusting, this is a good gesture and raises the awareness of it greatly. In terms of percentage of wealth, Rashford gives one of the most to charitable causes in the UK.

Ted Lasso is a breath of fresh air. And, GGMU. Power to you Rashy and Jadon.
