We all know Ted Lasso is a fictional character on an incredibly good Apple TV+ series, but whatever: this is to good not to write about.
In Season 2’s first episode, Ted (played by Emmy winner Jason Sudeikis) walks into the office of owner Rebecca Welton (played by the incredible Hannah Waddingham) and is offered a cocktail after his team ties again.
“What would you say to a cocktail,” Welton asks.
“The same thing I’d say to Diane Sawyer if she ever asked me out on a date: yes, please,” he responded.
The real Sawyer took to Twitter to respond:
Dear @TedLasso – I’m in. Your move. pic.twitter.com/durjeZkeIj

And the fictional Lasso on the character’s real Twitter account responded:
Oh my…you’ve got me more on my heels than Lady Gaga at the Met Gala. Any chance you like biscuits? https://t.co/TYbIGW3d8W

Again: do not care that this is all fake and fictional. I love all of this. Does this mean we could possibly see Sawyer on a future ep? Yes, please!
