Is Ted Lasso partly based on

Dabo?

"When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car."

"I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it."

I say yes. I haven’t seen a quote from the creators or anything. But that dancing locker room/ cake party screams dancing dabo and pizza parties to me.

I know it's funny. Looking forward to the new season***

Jason Sudeikis has never mentioned Dabo in interviews.

He says he played high school basketball in Kansas before becoming a comedian and actor and just remembered what he liked about his coaches (and made sure he stayed away from what he disliked).

He's a big Kansas Jayhawks fan and mentions former and current Jayhawks coaches and John Wooden when talking about his inspiration for the Ted Lasso character development.

But there are things that the Ted Lasso character does that make it seem like Jason has mixed some of Dabo's characteristics into his character. Most notably, the overly optimistic attitude and windshield mentality.

I think the pub dart game is the best scene. That is, the "be curious, not judgmental" sketch.
