“Ted Lasso” is one of the hottest streaming shows on the planet as its Season Three debut nears, but Brits say it's not so hot in the U.K.
Speaking to SFGATE via video chat from the Prince’s Head pub in Richmond , Roberts was quick to point out that the lack of “Ted Lasso” awareness isn’t the U.S.’s fault.
“I don’t think it’s because it’s an American show. I think it’s because it’s on the Apple platform, and not many people have it," Roberts said. “The U.K. absolutely laps up a good American comedy.” Emmy McMorrow, a Richmond local who launched a “Ted Lasso”-themed tour of the borough in July, said Jason Sudeikis — who plays the eponymous Ted Lasso — was regularly seen drinking at Richmond’s busiest pub, the White Cross, without much fanfare.
“It’s funny because the viewership is quite high in Richmond because people are aware of the show, but in the rest of the U.K., it hasn’t caught on as much because of us not using Apple TV as much,” McMorrow said. “The fact that Jason would go to the busiest pub in Richmond to drink, I always held my guess that’s indicative of the viewership being quite low in the U.K. — that he’d go to quite a busy pub where he can blend in ... if he did that in a pub in New York, he’d be mobbed.
