“Jason Sudeikis Hilariously Proves He’s No Ted Lasso While Coaching His Daughter’s Basketball Squad: ‘Get Outta My Gym, Daisy!'”
While many individuals may perceive Jason Sudeikis and Ted Lasso as synonymous, that’s not accurate in relation to his position as a mentor for his 8-year-old daughter Daisy’s basketball squad.
The Saturday Night Live veteran, 49, humorously remarked about assuming the real-world coaching position during the Friday, March 14 edition of the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce.
“I find it incredibly ironic that now that you are a coach for your daughter’s squad, you reverted to the Coach Campbell approach of coaching,” Travis jested, alluding to Sudeikis’ previous basketball coach Donnie Campbell.
“Yeah, yelling at her. Just shouting at her,” Sudeikis quipped regarding the daughter he has with ex Olivia Wilde. “ ‘Just because you’re 8 years old, doesn’t imply you need to behave like it! For heaven’s sake. Get out of my gym. Get the heck outta my gym, Daisy!’ ”
As for Coach Campbell, while he is acknowledged as a part of the inspiration for the compassionate Kansas City coach Ted Lasso, Sudeikis clarified of Campbell, “He was indeed more of a yeller.”
“I endured the full brunt of Coach Campbell, and rightfully so. He would shout at me quite frequently,” he added, reflecting on his own experience on the court.
Sudeikis expressed that Lasso is cherished due to the manner in which he was conceived.
“[By] incorporating the finest elements of all the diverse mentors and educators and coaches I’ve encountered throughout my life,” he clarified.

In addition to participating in sports with her father, Daisy has also ventured into acting with her director mother.
She earned an acting credit for Wilde’s 2022 film Don’t Worry Darling.
“I truly appreciated that she was viewing me in that perspective,” Wilde remarked about Daisy on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. “Like somewhere subconsciously this is seeping in, that her mother is in command and is supported by this remarkable crew.”
