KANSAS CITY, Mo. — First, the bad news: co-host Jason Sudeikis won’t be able to attend Big Slick this weekend as celebrities descend on Kansas City for the 13th annual event.
The good news: He’s busy filming season three for his titular role in “Ted Lasso,” the award-winning Apple TV+ smash hit. A change in the production schedule created the conflict.
