About “Ted Lasso”
Jason Sudeikis plays “Ted Lasso,” a small-time American college football coach who is hired to coach a Premier League squad despite having no prior coaching expertise in the English game. Sudeikis also acts as executive producer on the show, which also features Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple, Brendan Hunt, Jeremy Swift, and Nick Mohammed, all of whom have received Emmy nominations.
About “Boys State”
“Boys State” is a tremendously fun and constantly telling journey into a week-long annual program in which a thousand Texas high school seniors assemble for an elaborate simulated exercise: constructing their own state government. Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine follow the escalating tensions within a particularly tense gubernatorial race, focusing their cameras on unforgettable teenagers like Ben, a Reagan-loving arch-conservative who brims with confidence despite personal setbacks, and Steven, a progressive-minded child of Mexican immigrants who stands firm in his convictions amidst the sea of red.
In the process, they’ve constructed a complex portrayal of contemporary American manhood, as well as a microcosm of our nation’s often depressing political divisions, which manage to encourage the growth of hope.
In addition to winning the Sundance Grand Jury Prize in 2020, “Boys State” won Best Political Documentary at the Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards, as well as best documentary awards from the Chicago Indie Critics, Oklahoma Film Critics Circle, Denver Film Critics Society Awards, Washington D.C. Area Film Critics Association, Las Vegas Film Critics Society, and Phoenix Film Critics Society. Former President Barack Obama included the film on his list of favorite films from the year 2020.
About “Carpool Karaoke: The Series”
The series “Carpool Karaoke: The Series,” based on the famous segment from “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” has won three consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Short Form Variety Series in 2018, 2019, and 2020, as well as the Critics’ Choice Award for Short Form Series in 2019.

The show’s creators and executive producers are James Corden and Ben Winston, as well as executive producer Eric Pankowski.
