Joy Behar Turned Down 'Ted Lasso' Role Due to London Heatwave

The role of Ted Lasso's mother, which Behar declined, earned actress Becky Ann Baker an Emmy nomination.

Joy Behar, co-host of The View, revealed she turned down the role of Ted Lasso's mother on the popular Apple TV+ show due to a heatwave in London during the filming period.
Behar, who was approached for the role during a hiatus from The View, stated that she didn't want to travel to London in the middle of the heatwave.
The role of Dottie Lasso, Ted's mother, was eventually played by actress Becky Ann Baker, who received an Emmy nomination for her performance.
Behar also mentioned that she writes her own material and doesn't need to be in everything, indicating a preference for her own projects.
Despite the show's popularity and critical acclaim, Behar disagreed with the assertion that Ted Lasso was the 'hottest show on TV.'
