1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. It's uncommon on TV

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: shows for a star to also be a writer on

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: the show, unless to the face or creator of a sitcom,

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: but Ted Lasso is an exception, with Brett Goldstein playing

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Roy Kent and serving as a key member of the

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: writing room, and the same goes with Brendan Hunt, who

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: plays Coach Beard. One reason shows often avoid it is

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: that it can create a dynamic where somebody writes for

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: their benefit or their character rather than the show as

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: a whole, and they make other writers suspicious that you're

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: doing that. So how Brett navigate that, he tells Variety.

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: For season one, none of the other writers knew I'd

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: be playing Roy. Season two, they obviously knew I'm Roy,

14
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: So I've tried not to pitch much Roy, because I

15
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: truly do love all the characters and I'm invested in them.

16
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: But one of the writers, Sasha Garon, always knew how

17
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: I felt about a Roy Kent story pitch, in the

18
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: same way if I pitched Coach Beard to Brendan almost subconsciously,

19
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: I look at him, Sasha says, she knows if I

20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: like a pitch based on the angle of my eyebrows.

21
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: Season three of Ted Lasso stream on Apple tv Plus

22
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: that's direct from Hollywood.
