Ted Lasso - Season 3

Editors - Melissa McCoy, ACE and A.J. Catoline, ACE

Ted Lasso editors, Melissa McCoy and A.J. Catoline re-join this episode of The Rough Cut podcast to tell us about what goes on in the cutting room to make all the magic from the locker room.

Ted Lasso is an AppleTV+ series developed by Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Joe Kelly and Brendan Hunt, based on a character of the same name that Sudeikis first portrayed in a series of promos for NBC Sports' coverage of the The English Premier League. The premise is that American college football coach Ted Lasso is recruited to coach an English Premier League team, AFC Richmond, despite having no experience in English football.
