Jason Sudeikis, the star and co-creator of the beloved Apple TV comedy 'Ted Lasso', joined forces with the English band Mumford & Sons for a special performance at Madison Square Garden. Sudeikis, dressed casually in a cap, black hoodie, and khaki shorts, belted out the theme song alongside Mumford, who playfully tapped his foot to the beat. The video of their performance, shared by Live Nation NYC, showcases the playful and light-hearted nature of their collaboration.
This isn't the first time the two have worked together. Mumford & Sons lassoed Sudeikis for their performance, and the two became friends when they first appeared as musical guests on 'Saturday Night Live' in 2012. Sudeikis' British sense of humor, as noted by Mumford, played a significant role in their friendship. Mumford recalled how Sudeikis requested the theme song in a long message, and the two collaborated on the track in a 24-hour period at Mumford's home, aiming for a natural and unproduced feel.
The theme song's release comes as 'Ted Lasso' kicks off its fourth season on Apple TV+. The show's premise revolves around Ted Lasso, a soccer coach who moves from Kansas City to Richmond to coach the women's team. This season sees Ted's son Henry and ex-wife Michelle join him, adding new dynamics to the story. The show's success and cultural impact have been widely recognized, with Sudeikis' involvement adding to its appeal.
Mumford & Sons' performance with Sudeikis at Madison Square Garden is a testament to the power of collaboration and the unique chemistry between artists. The video of their performance, shared by Live Nation NYC, captures the playful and light-hearted nature of their collaboration, leaving fans excited for more.
