'Ted Lasso' Stars React to Joy Behar's Claim of Offered Role

Ted Lasso creators Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt refuted Joy Behar's claim that she turned down a role on the show, stating that she was never asked to join the series. Behar had mentioned on a podcast that she declined the opportunity to play the role of Ted's mother, but Sudeikis and Hunt expressed surprise at her comments, saying it would be news to them. Behar had cited the London heat wave as a reason for declining the role, but sources claim that she was under consideration for the part.
