I’ve come to realize that Twitter is not a healthy place for me, neither in how it makes me feel, nor with how I behave on here. So, I’m taking a break from all social media. Be back after lunch.
This is the guy I based SCRUBS on and my best pal from college. He’s out here in Los Angeles running a hospital (like JD would), and I’m proud he’s a pal. He changes clothes in his garage at night to try to keep his kids from getting sick and IS married to “real Elliot”.
Spent the night watching clips of Sam (The songs! The greatest sweaty pratfall of all time!) Those who reached out, our “Scrubs family” appreciates it - he had the biggest heart of all of us. But now send all those good thoughts to his family. And to your own loved ones.

Everyone talks about The Mummy, lately, or Doom Patrol, or The Whale, but I’d like to remind you Brendan Fraser is also responsible for one of the most heartbreaking half hours in TV history.
To Media: It’s crazy, but we can multi-task. Please still tell us about his taxes, insane voter suppression Gov Abbot is pulling in Texas, Putin connection confirmed by his own ex-national security advisor, and maybe the giant problem for “the-best-is-yet-to-come” screaming lady.
Last day of staff writing
#TedLasso
Season 2 yesterday. I enjoy these people very much. I’m very scared of one of them but will not say who. They are all very talented and could write anything. They are kind, warm and funny. I’m only the second oldest, so that’s super cool.
If you haven’t watched the
#Shrinking
season finale yet - go do it if you don’t have dinner plans. I want to talk about it. For real, thanks for watching! From all of us. Whole season avail on
@AppleTVPlus
Puhlease, dude. No one is coming for anyone. You passed laws to make it harder for POC to vote, and a professional sports league - comprised heavily of POC - told you to eff off. End of story. And not a surprise end, like, at all. Satisfying, though.
Georgians - and all Americans - should fully understand what the MLB's knee-jerk decision means: cancel culture and woke political activists are coming for every aspect of your life, sports included. If the left doesn’t agree with you, facts and the truth do not matter.
Zero Covid deaths in Canada yesterday. Over a thousand in US. But it’s not about leadership, and we can’t compare because we have like a 1000 times more citizens, but if you multiplied their deaths by 1000 it’d still be zero, and it’s not like we have 5500 miles of shared border.
Season finale of
#TedLasso
officially out and ready to be watched. Written by fearless leaders
@jasonsudeikis
and
@joekellyjk47
I would be remiss if I didn’t admit one thing: this is truly my favorite episode ever. (Until next year)
Good news to some, inconsequential to others, hopefully doesn’t make anyone furious: there are 12 episodes of
#TedLasso
this year. This is not the finale (though it’s my favorite until next week).
Totally weird how in Japan, wearing masks is commonplace and not some political issue and they got through this virus quickly, economy open, sports going, etc, etc. almost seems like there is a correlation, but that’s impossible, right?
In NYC eating sushi by myself. Going to a show by myself. Then a drink at a cool place by myself. Never done this before, quite nervous. Will keep updating and report back.
Thanks to all the well-wishers about the official Season 2 pick up of
#Shrinking
. Grateful/excited, even though we’ve already been in the writers room working on it for months (takes a second for things to be “official” Hollywood! 😀)
Trying to hit the sweet spot of being extremely grateful, happy for my friends, and yet still following the “Lasso Way” of not making too big of a deal about awards, so here goes:
Thanks. We appreciate you.
I truly think that if some virus had already killed 200,000 lovable family dogs in our country everyone would be going nuts. Especially if it were preventable. Even if most of them were older.
Episode 210 of
#TedLasso
comes out EARLY tonight at 9:00 pm EST. It is written by mega-talent
@janembecker
and is my absolute favorite one (until next week).
Truly love
#TedLasso
2nd episode this week. Jason and the whole team crushed it. Psyched for people to see the
#Shrinking
finale, too. Feeling lucky and grateful. TV!!
Very grateful for all the kind words. So proud of all my friends (cast is so great). Sorry it’s one episode at a time. My family is not pleased.
#TedLasso
For those who nicely asked: The basic

jersey and other merch will launch in a week or so at the “Ted Lasso” shop on WB shop e-comm. Proper/professional level kits will be available at retailers in September. More updates coming when they tell me more.

EP 208 written by rock star
@TheJamieLee
is out there causing a lot of big feelings. TV!! I remain a fan first, as always. I’m super proud to be a part of this team, and everyone’s work. This truly is my favorite episode (until next week, you know how it goes).
I’m admittedly biased, but I miss not having a new Friday episode of
#tedlasso
to watch with my family. Was so fun. Thanks again to everyone who checked it out. If you haven’t - you can binge it now. That’s what the super-hip young people seem to like. I’m super-hip.
Everyone who checked out
#Shrinking
already - thanks, truly. Same goes for those who are eventually planning to watch. (Those who aren’t interested - that’s also fine, do your thing 😀.) we are very proud of it

@brettgoldstein
I wanted to post one of the GIFs they sent me from
#Shrinking
but I don’t know how. Hope you dig this week’s show. It (and
#TedLasso
being back!) makes me feel like this:
There is no proof that masks save lives and keep a large % of people safe except for science, other more successful countries, and medicine which doesn’t count because it’s part of science. I just don’t believe in being forced to wear something by my gov’t because seatbelts.

Tonight at 9:00 pm Pacific, 12:00 EST, my favorite Ep of
#TedLasso
(until the next one). Written by my good friend
@brettgoldstein
(can’t say “best” friend or it goes to his head). He crushed it.
You know how most every doctor and scientist says that if everyone just wore a mask for a month, we’d get through this? We could all just do it to prove that they are all wrong. That would totally show them.
It is my friend Harrison’s 81st birthday. He does not have social media. When I call him, he won’t be attached to his cell phone, so we won’t tall. When I eventually see him he will want to talk about other things. This is merely proof I remembered.
#Shrinking
Hey - Twitter is mostly a site dedicated to polite discourse and changing people’s minds about politics. Still, I want to thank everyone who supported
#TedLasso
as well as an insanely great cast and crew... we are all grateful to get to do this show for another year. So fun.
Goodnight all. Thank you for the kind, fun, ridiculous and confusing things you said/asked. Appreciate you watching our show. From the whole squad.

@jasonsudeikis
' old videos. The series focused on trauma, panic and anxiety, not just comedy
Ted Lasso Ep 4 is out now on
@AppleTVPlus
and I had the pleasure of writing this one. No spoilers but judging by these pics, Roy, Ted and Beard take a bus, Trent shows the boys a video of a tiny cat chasing a giant dog and the team play a tense game of Freeze. It’s a big one!
I’ve been watching
@TedLasso
slowly so as to savor it. Sadly, I reached Episode 10 today. Happily, it’s coming back for at least 2 more seasons. It’s just such a joy. Excellent work to all involved.
To the people checking out Episode 4 of
#Shrinking
: Thanks. And if you didn’t check it out, that’s also cool. Both cool. Watching cooler, but not watching, still cool. I’m obviously crazy bored.
@SheaSerrano
@arturodraws
Guys - for real, ordered mine this morning. I’m so flattered and jazzed. If there’s anything I can do to help, let me know. Hope I see you both in Austin for a beer or three.
Tonight at 9:00 pm pacific (12:00 am EST) is my favorite episode of
#TedLasso
(until following week). It makes me truly happy. Then it makes me unhappy (because I know what happens next). Hope people dig it. 🌈🌈🌈(that’ll make sense eventually).
Okay, some gratitude. All 10 episodes of
#TedLasso
are available on Apple TV+, now, so you can binge it all if that’s your thing. The gratitude part: many of you have reached out on here to say nice things, to say that the kindness, optimism and hope we leaned into felt needed...
