Jason Sudekis won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for 'Ted Lasso.'
Jason Sudeikis has won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in Comedy Series in Ted Lasso. He was up against a lot of competition, including Donald Glover for Atlanta, Bill Hader for Barry, Nicholas Hoult for The Great, and Steve Martin and Martin Short for Only Murders in the Building.
While all of tonight's nominees put there everything into their roles this year, Sudeikis left an impression on Emmy voters for his work as the titular Ted Lasso in the incredible Apple TV+ series. In Season 2, Ted's anxiety and traumatic experiences came to the forefront of the story as he had to really face and process everything that has happened in his life.

The series is no stranger to critical acclaim and golden accolades, with Season 1 of Ted Lasso scoring twenty Emmy nominations and seven wins last year, which was the most Emmy nominations that any first year show has ever received.
