Q 02Ted Lasso debuted in 2013 in Premier League commercials for which US broadcaster?
NBC
NBC. The network had just bought the Premier League's American rights and cast Sudeikis as a clueless coach hired by Tottenham; the promos went viral years before anyone planned a series.
Q 03Which sitcom veteran teamed up with Jason Sudeikis in 2017 to turn Ted Lasso into a series?
Bill Lawrence

Apple TV+
Apple TV+. It ordered the comedy straight to series in October 2019, days before the service itself launched, and released the first three episodes together.
Q 05Why does Rebecca Welton hire Ted Lasso to manage AFC Richmond in season one?
To ruin the club
To ruin the club. It was the one thing her cheating ex-husband Rupert loved, and she had just won it in the divorce; when she finally confesses, Ted forgives her on the spot.
Q 06Ted Lasso's snarling Richmond captain is modelled mainly on which former footballer?

Roy Keane. Co-creator Brendan Hunt has confirmed the Irish hard man as the model, and Brett Goldstein, hired as a writer, only won the part by sending in a self-taped audition.

The Independent
The Independent. He announces it before every question, loses the job in season two for telling Ted who leaked his panic attack, and comes back to write a book about the club.

Homemade shortbread biscuits
Homemade shortbread biscuits. Rebecca loves them so much she orders Higgins to track down the bakery, only for the episode to reveal that Ted bakes them himself.
Q 09In Ted Lasso, what do Ted, Beard, Nate and Higgins call the support group they form in season one?

The Diamond Dogs. The four first convene to pick over Ted's night with Sassy, and their next case is Roy Kent, who grudgingly asks them what to do about Keeley.
Q 10Beating Rupert at darts, Ted Lasso quotes 'Be curious, not judgmental' and credits which American poet?
Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman. Ted says he saw the line painted on a wall, but fact-checkers have never found it in anything Whitman wrote.

Manchester City
Manchester City. Rebecca quietly ends the loan mid-season, and on the final day it is Jamie's unselfish pass for his parent club that sends Richmond down.
Q 12Jamie Tartt appears on which reality dating show at the start of season two of Ted Lasso?

Q 22In Ted Lasso, which club does Rupert buy after losing AFC Richmond to Rebecca?

Q 23Zava, the eccentric star striker of Ted Lasso's third season, is based on which real footballer?
Zlatan Ibrahimović
Accidentally killing the team mascot. Earl the greyhound darts across the goal after a bird just as Dani strikes a penalty, and the guilt leaves him unable to score at all.
Q 14Ted Lasso's 'Football is life' striker Dani Rojas comes from which country?
Mexico
Mexico. So does the man who plays him: Cristo Fernández was a young footballer in Guadalajara until a knee injury turned him towards acting.
Q 15In Ted Lasso, what is the name of Mae's pub, where Richmond's supporters gather?

Q 17In Ted Lasso, which 1980s hit does Rebecca sing in place of a eulogy at her father's funeral?
Never Gonna Give You Up
Never Gonna Give You Up. Her parents loved the Rick Astley song; when Rebecca's voice gives out after a few lines, Ted picks it up and the whole church joins in.
Q 18Season two of Ted Lasso grew by two episodes: the Christmas special and which other standalone story?
'Beard After Hours'
'Beard After Hours'. The streamer asked for twelve episodes after the writers had mapped out ten, so they built two that could slot in anywhere: Christmas, and one long night out for the coach.

Nigeria
Nigeria. When Sam learns the club's airline sponsor belongs to an oil firm polluting his homeland, he tapes over the logo on his shirt, and the whole team follows.

Q 24Which tactical philosophy does Ted Lasso bring to Richmond in the season three episode 'The Strings That Bind Us'?

Q 25In Ted Lasso's third season, which Richmond player comes out to his teammates after a fan's homophobic abuse?

Q 28Where does AFC Richmond finish in the Premier League at the end of Ted Lasso's third season?
Second
Second. They win their last game with a set play Nate once drew up, but the leaders win as well, so Richmond's best season ever ends one place short of the title.
Q 29In Ted Lasso's third-season finale, Rebecca sells 49 percent of AFC Richmond to whom?
The club's fans
The club's fans. She had been ready to sell the whole club once Ted said he was leaving; instead Mae and the regulars from her pub end up as part-owners.
