Trent Crimm made a surprise appearance at the Ted Lasso White House press briefing

The cast of Ted Lasso got to see a familiar face while visiting the White House on Monday.

As previewed by President Joe Biden, Ted Lasso stars Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Toheeb Jimoh, Brett Goldstein and Brendan Hunt appeared at the nation’s capital this week to discuss the importance of talking about mental health and supporting those who are struggling.

Toward the end of the day’s press briefing, Sudeikis got asked a question by an old friend. It was none other than Trent Crimm of The Independent.

Yes, Ted Lasso actor James Lance showed up to the briefing in character as Crimm and fittingly asked Sudeikis about Kansas City being named a host city for the 2026 World Cup.

Of course, Sudeikis, a Johnson City, Kansas, native, gave a very Coach Lasso-inspired answer to Crimm’s question.

As the Ted Lasso cast advocated for something as vital as mental health care, it is nice to see them embrace the moment to do some good and add a little fun into the mix.
