'Ted Lasso' star Jason Sudekis is helping raise funds for amputees who lack proper health coverage. He told AP about the benefit concert Thundergong!, and whether we can expect season 4 of his hit Apple TV+ series.
FILE - Jason Sudeikis appears with his awards for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series and best comedy series for "Ted Lasso" at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Sept. 19, 2021. Sudeikis returned to his hometown of Kansas City to host Thundergong!, a benefit concert to raise money for Steps of Faith Foundation. The organization helps amputees who lack proper health coverage pay for prosthetic limbs. The concert will stream worldwide on Nov. 20 at 7 p.m.
Sudeikis: We did a thing called “Comedy Sportz,” which still exists in a few cities. Although in Kansas City, it’s now called “Comedy City.” We were doing workshops. I think we auditioned and they liked the cut of our jib. I was a junior. No, I just graduated. Right? Was it the summer of ’94 or ’95? Brimblecom: Oh, how much time we got? The fact that I have this job is ridiculous. The fact something like Steps of Faith needs to exist, and that somebody who has lost a limb is not just covered is injustice.
Sudeikis: Yeah, it’s definitely a musical variety benefit concert. We have a bunch of bands and solo artists, but also comedians, like Will Forte, Fred Armisen, and Heidi Gardner, all SNL active and alums. Fred and Will have done it every year. Heidi is from Kansas City.Sudeikis: We’re trying to help 185 people. I went out on a limb and said, I think we could get 200. Billy knows better than me because he’s actually in it.Brimblecom: It’s profit and loss. I didn’t learn it until I had this job.
