DID YOU KNOW? While Ted Lasso is not inspired by a true story, it does take influences from real world people and events. Captain Roy Kent, a hard-nosed box-to-box midfielder, is based on former Manchester United star Roy Keane, for example.

THE VERDICT: Ted Lasso continues to be a juggernaut that has captured the admiration of audiences everywhere. The show won four Emmys at this year's award show, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, which was claimed by star Jason Sudeikis.

WHAT NEXT FOR TED LASSO? Season 3 of the show is on its way.
