The famous “Ted Lasso” dance performed by Jason Sudeikis in multiple episodes of the hit show actually ties back to…. the Chicago Bears?
Speaking to the “Today Show” over the weekend, Sudeikis revealed his character’s iconic dance moves have actually been a good luck charm he’s been using since he scored his first on-camera “SNL” appearance in 2005.
The sketch was about the Chicago Bears’ Super Bowl Shuffle, featuring Sudeikis and Tom Brady.
“When I was doing that part, that was just me making a bold choice as a writer,” Sudeikis said.
(NOTE: Though Sudeikis says he was performing as Kevin Butler, No. 8 for the ’85 Bears was actually Maury Buford. Kevin Butler was No. 6.)
Sudeikis co-wrote the sketch with a group of writers, including one of the co-creators of “Ted Lasso,” but ultimately ended up starring in it thanks to his hilarious dance moves.
Those same moves have since become a beloved part of his Apple TV hit “Ted Lasso,” with the coach seen performing them as a celebration dance in the show.
“That dance has been like, yeah, a little good luck charm,” Sudeikis said.
Though a known Kansas City fan, Sudeikis’ ties to the Chicago Bears run deep, with “SNL” legend George Wendt as his uncle. Wendt, known for his role as Bob Swerski in a Bears superfan sketch, is a Chicago native and even has a street in the city named after him.
