Jason Sudeikis’ Ted Lasso could have had Joy Behar as his onscreen mother.
“The View” co-host revealed that she was asked if she wanted to play the role, portrayed by Becky Ann Baker, in Season 3 of the Apple TV+ comedy show “Ted Lasso.”
“The View” producer Brian Teta prompted Behar to tell the story of the offer and her dismissal on his “Behind the Table” podcast that he hosts, with new episodes every Wednesday. Teta said that the two were at a baby shower at Tavern on the Green when Behar dropped the news that someone had contacted her about the part in the series.
