Jason Sudeikis Reveals Why ‘Ted Lasso' Is Finally Back and Why He Is Teaming With Sam's Club (Exclusive)
During an exclusive Men's Journal interview, Jason Sudeikis revealed why he partnered with Sam's Club for the "Come Join Us" campaign and why he has so much affection for the company. The actor also explained why he thinks now is the right time to bring Ted Lasso back and what he is most excited for fans of the show to see during season 4.
"Come Join Us" is more than just a campaign. It is Sam's Club's effort to move away from the transactional shopping relationship most companies are known for to one where members are invited to help shape how it operates. Jason Sudeikis was the perfect first person to accept Sam's Club's invite since his character, Ted Lasso, is known for connecting with people.
Why Jason Sudeikis Said ‘Yes' to Sam's Club (and the Childhood Treat Behind It)
Men's Journal: You must get campaign offers all the time. What inspired you to accept the invitation to work with Sam's Club?
Jason Sudeikis: I'm always drawn to projects and places where I feel a personal connection to them. And Sam's Club is no different. I have very fond memories going there as a kid with my family. You don't forget the first time your dad says "okay" to buying you and your sisters a whole box of full-sized Butterfingers!
Men's Journal: What is it about Sam's Club that makes you a loyal member?
Jason Sudeikis: That's easy…You get good quality, good prices, and you're not wasting time.
Men's Journal: Do you have go-to items you get from Sam's Club that other people need to stop sleeping on?
Jason Sudeikis: They actually sell an item that I believe people SHOULD sleep on, and that's one of those massage chairs they got over there!
Men's Journal: Why do you think people should accept the invitation that Sam's Club is sending them?
Jason Sudeikis: If they want value and convenience, this is a great chance to "join the club".
Jason Sudeikis Touts the 'Chemistry' of the New 'Ted Lasso' Women's Team
Men's Journal: Ted Lasso was a breath of fresh air that helped get people through some tough times. What made you and the team decide now was the time to bring it back?
Jason Sudeikis: Tons of ideas, stories, and characters just kept flooding our brains, so we had to do something with them! And it just felt like the right time to get back to doing something we really enjoy doing, and apparently, people really enjoy watching.
Men's Journal: After the long break and huge anticipation, what do you hope fans feel in the first few episodes of Season 4? Any moment you're especially nervous or excited for people to see?
Jason Sudeikis: I can't give anything away, but I hope fans feel the same sense of joy, heartbreak, and the hope that exists between the two that they connected with in previous seasons.
Men's Journal: What are you excited for fans to see in the new episodes?
Jason Sudeikis: All sorts of stuff! But if I had to narrow it down to one thing, I would say the talent and chemistry of everyone on our new women's team.
