Ted Lasso would never cancel on you at the last minute because he wanted to do something fun, but Tedd Lasso creator Jason Sudeikis would and did. Sudeikis was slated to be the keynote celebrity speaker at the Society for Human Resource Management annual convention this past weekend, but he canceled at the last minute.

IMO – no major loss. I’ve heard of the character, but beyond that don’t know much else about the person or his on-screen persona. Sounds like it was a poor selection to begin with.
I saw Serena Williams at a QuickBooks conference, and I was NOT impressed.
I caught a 5:20 am flight from SFO to make it in time to see Sudeikas (as did many others). Completely rude and uncalled for that he cancelled for a basketball game. Not happy.
