"Everybody in the offices of Warner Bros., Apple, Doozer, that answer all the calls. Everybody in production. Our COVID squad season two was huge. We didn't have a single shutdown, and that was a lot because of what you men and women did for us. Everybody in postproduction that helps us out, that builds these amazing soccer stadiums, football stadiums around us. The show is about good and evil, and this show is about the truth of life. This show is about all that stuff, but it's mostly about our response to those things. And your response to our show is overwhelming. ... We'll see you for season three."

In the comedy categories, Ted Lasso also took home the prizes for best lead actor (Sudeikis) and best supporting actor (Brett Goldstein), as well as best comedy directing. Ted Lasso received a whopping 20 nominations this year.
