[@sylviah.1443]

When he opened the floor for a question, I thought the journalist would make a joke and say "Trent Crimm, the Independent".... but what happened was even better 😂!

[@victorrodriguez0]

Trent Crimm*

[@sylviah.1443]

​@@victorrodriguez0 dang, you're right. Thanks for catching that! Fixed now!

[@gospelofcreative]

That would have been great!!

[@strider7637]

In the past, black Americans were discriminated against and were forced sit in the back of the bus. Why is Simon Ateba being forced to sit in the back of this press room? Because the lunatic left Democrats are the true racists. That's why!

I was hoping that too, but he got fired from The Independent in season 2, this one is better

[@burnout3722]

Trent Crimm...fake journalist. Classic.

[@marydestefano9487]

He's nervous, which is demonstrated by how fast he's talking.

[@BatmanHQYT]

He def has a bit of stage fright, it's evident in all his award speeches too. I think it's quite touching how he's able to find such eloquent words to say despite it.

[@scientistatwork4667]

He's human

[@DanielBurapavong]

Agree.

[@PhilVillagerOffical]

I love how people are hating on this when it's a positive message, with a funny twist.

[@rondellregan]

I don’t want funny I want something done about 5.00 gallon gas, 20.00 steaks at the grocery store, rent increasing while wages decreasing. The only thing I got out this WH is a president with dementia, men can be women, all money needs to go to Ukraine because I’m a good person. You part of the problem for accepting this BS

[@ariedlin]

It is pretty sad. I don’t know what is wrong with people. They just completely missed the point of everything. Everything every room nowadays Hass to be picked apart by these people I still think they hold a grudge against all celebrities because they voice their opinions I thought it was great, and I hope it raises awareness. Which it was meant to do.

[@kalyannatarajan1695]

What a show Ted Lasso !!! Even though S3 is more of the same with new drama, stories, twists - less about Lasso more about, well.....everyone!!! So nothing trail blazing here, at least first 2 episodes. The reason you watch is because TL is the rare show that hooked the audiences emotionally into the characters, made the characters weekly friends of the audience that the audience wants to hang out with and connect to, outside of their own real lives once a week, and NOT DO IT in the crazy binge watch model but once a week together with everyone else on Earth and talk about it, speculate about it and wait together for the next episode to land. A lot of things have to come together perfectly to achieve the above most important being the casting and the acting - the leader here being obviously Jason Sudeikis who plays Lasso like he finally found and nailed the calling of his life he had been waiting for. The mix of vulnerability, humor yet personal anguish that he brings and switches effortlessly between - that in itself is worth the price of admission !!! (Look at it this way there is a reason why the Lasso team was invited to the White House podium to address everyone, right? Not every show gets to do that) So you watch it not because TL-S3 has something new to say but because you want to keep watching what this cast and crew does really REALLY well again and again and again..... the same reason for which the world continues to watch Seinfeld reruns for the last 25 hrs or, old Federer match replays - they have become a part of the the comfort food of our lives!!!

[@scientistatwork4667]

The point is the focus is on everyone and that's what makes this special. Ted Lasso's character is not supposed to dominate the cast but is an anchor to them

[@jimh472]

@@TammiLColesinGermany Vapid Hollywood celebrities are not "entertainment industry leaders" you dumb twat.
