I have enjoyed every single SECOND of Sam on the screen! Toheeb wins the best smile on Ted Lasso award. I can't wait to see him in other things and watching his star rise! 🔥🔥

[@katiedesantis1664]

Yes!!! Definitely the best smile! He is such a great actor, can't wait to see what he does

I wanna know how many takes it took to record Akufo’s tempter tantrum. How could any one have kept a straight face during that? 😂

[@paulschneir1551]

Sam is a great character with an interesting evolution. Toheeb seems like a genuinely good guy, similar to his role on the show.

[@lseward21]

Love that this interviewer is a fan of the show (thus knowledgeable about The details and nuances) and that he has interviewed each character alone. The interviews get beyond the obvious to a deeper level and allow each person’s personality to come through. Thanks for doing such a great job!!

[@InsideFilmRoom]

It’s hard not to be a fan of a show like this! Thank you so much!

[@rickkopfler8447]

You must have some big time serious dirt on Sudeikis to have gotten all these incredible interviews! However you got them well done and keep up the great work!

I love the character of Sam. I started watching proper footy right as COVID hit in ~Feb ‘20, & fell in love with Marcus Rashford due to his political activism with the kids in poverty / school lunch issue in the UK. The character of Sam very much reminds me of Rashford, & I just adore him. Well done!

[@bowtoyoursensei554]

I love Toheeb/Sam and love his evolutionary journey. The chemistry between him and Rebecca is palpable; can’t wait to see where it goes.

[@chrisyoung4654]

Great work once again Zach!

[@acm4bass]

In season one Sam Obisanya invites Rebecca to the Exorcism, and there is a small bit of confusion at first....They both were thinking it even then. If Nate had invited Rebecca there would have been no confusion.

Toheeb Jimoh you are one of the most beautiful men I have ever seen. Your spirit is soooooooo handsome. - A Sista' from Chicago

[@BatmanHQYT]

You're a great interviewer, man!

[@Juju-4959]

I absolutely LOVE this show

[@milanfan81]

I want that Richmond scarf

[@surfk9836]

Best line by Sam "I hate big buts and I cannot lie".

[@anniebell6846]

He’s so humble aghhhhh when art imitates life.

[@LiveDonkeyDeadLion]

Jamie, Danny and Roy have their own songs. Sam needs one as well Sam is the first footballer in the pilot who speaks to Rebecca and she speaks to him as well

[@shelleyfrank6909]

He has one. We heard it after he got his hat trick in S2 E11. It's his name to the tune of 7 Nation Army.

[@LiveDonkeyDeadLion]

@@shelleyfrank6909 I hear you, and thank you for reminding me of that (channeling my inner Ted to let you know I appreciate your reply). I mostly missed it as that tune is a generic football chant and used for so many players, I just wish there was something more special for Sam

[@shelleyfrank6909]

@@LiveDonkeyDeadLion can totally agree with that. Something more specific would have been lovely for such a lovely character. I appreciate you too friend! Have a great day!

[@darshanchung]

He’s exactly like Sam!

[@Tsuliwaensis]

I do hope we properly meet Sam's dad next season. 😊

[@acm4bass]

Before the "Break up "Scene with Casablanca, I was wondering what would be the better move for Sam. One the one hand Joining Nigeria's team would be great for African exceptionalism- or Staying on the worlds stage as someone who has already had support from his team with the oil company.

[@joedy3957]

Too bad they didn’t talk about that epic meltdown that Sam Richardson pulled off after he was rejected.

[@rodrigomoncks]

09:50 they talk a bit about it...

[@rafaelgarcia-wv1ff]

Go Sammy! Love ya

[@noeliajaime7656]

Also,I'm glad Sam stayed.🤗

[@zbeebs]

For me, the ticking time-bomb on this show is when the press finds out about Sam/Rebecca. Frankly I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.

[@bellaventimiglia35]

I luv Sam! 🥰

[@noeliajaime7656]

I don't like Sam with Rebecca. Makes Rebecca seem like a cougar and i don't like it. I'm kinda hoping Ted and Rebecca will have a relationship. The journey has started...It will be beautiful and loving and romantic.
