‘Ted Lasso’ Honors Late Soccer Journalist Grant Wahl
Ted Lasso paid tribute to late soccer journalist Grant Wahl during the latest episode of the Apple TV+ series’ third season.
At the conclusion of the “Big Week” episode, the words “In memory of Grant Wahl” appeared on the screen as the end credits, which included one for Wahl, rolled. Earlier in the episode, Coach Beard, played by Brendan Hunt, is seen carrying Wahl’s nonfiction book The Beckham Experiment, which follows David Beckham as he makes the move from football to Major League Soccer.
Wahl’s widow Celine Gounder expressed her thanks to stars Jason Sudeikis, Hunt and Brett Goldstein along with an image of the tribute card.
“It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe… Thank you,@jasonsudeikis, @brendanhunting, @brettgoldstein. This episode means so much to me and my family,” Gounder wrote.
