Jason Sudeikis has won the outstanding lead actor in a comedy series award at the 2021 Primetime Emmys. He won the award for his role in “Ted Lasso”.

The heart-warming comedy follows American football coach Ted Lasso’s transition to the United Kingdom. There he is given the responsibility of leading an English Premier League team, despite not knowing a single thing about the game. He must lead a dressing room filled with star players, manage their egos, and take them to glory.

In its debut season, the show has been nominated for the best comedy series, an award that it’s likely to take home. While the show has received 20 nominations, it can win a maximum of nine trophies because of overlaps.
