  • A Conversation with Jason Sudeikis

Jason Sudeikis is an award-winning actor, comedian, producer, and writer who stars as the buoyant optimist Ted Lasso in the widely popular Apple TV+ series he co-created. Good to the core, its first season was honored with the prestigious Peabody Award “for offering the perfect counter to the enduring prevalence of toxic masculinity, both on-screen and off, in a moment when the nation truly needs inspiring models of kindness.” The first season garnered 7 Primetime Emmy Awards after being nominated for a historic 20.

Following the second season, it once again garnered 20 nominations at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards, winning four total, including Outstanding Comedy Series, acting awards for Sudeikis and Brett Goldstein, and a directing award for MJ Delaney.

In 2021, Jason Sudeikis was the recipient of two Emmy Awards, “Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series” and “Outstanding Comedy Series” for Ted Lasso. In 2022, he won both of those awards for the second year in a row. He was also awarded a Golden Globe for best actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy, a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series, and a Critics Choice Television Award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series. The Writers Guild of America awarded Sudeikis and the show “Best Comedy Series” and “Best New Series.”

Best known for his amazing work on Saturday Night Live, Jason Sudeikis made an even bigger name for himself in tentpole comedy films. In 2011, he starred in the hit comedy Horrible Bosses. Quickly thereafter he found himself again alongside Jennifer Aniston and Jamie Foxx in the smash sequel Horrible Bosses 2. His hilarious performance as a small-time pot dealer David Clark in We’re the Millers in 2013 helped the film make over $270 million at the box office.

Jason’s recent work includes dramatic turns in Nacho Vigolando’s sci-fi thriller Colossal opposite Anne Hathaway, Alexander Payne’s Downsizing alongside Matt Damon, and Kodachrome opposite Ed Harris. Jason Sudeikis also stars in the dramatic thriller Driven where he plays conman-turned-FBI-informant Jim Hoffman as he and his handler take down the mysterious, wealthy, and drug-embroiled millionaire John DeLorean (played by Lee Pace).

He also starred alongside Jessica Biel in the indie drama The Book of Love, played legendary Jesse Owens coach and mentor, Larry Snyder in Race, and won viewers over as Jake in Leslye Headland’s Sleeping with Other People. He can also be seen opposite Rebecca Hall in Tumbledown. Other recent films include the 2016 heist comedy Masterminds alongside Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Wiig and playing Principal Brown in the film Booksmart.

Born in Fairfax, Virginia Jason Sudeikis grew up in Overland Park, Kansas. Though he received a basketball scholarship to a local junior college after high school, he found his true passion in show business 40 miles away where he spent every weekend taking classes at the then ComedySportz Theater in Kansas City. Jason later made his way to the Chicago as part of renowned touring improv companies before moving to Nevada to become a founding member of The Second City Las Vegas.

In 2003, Jason sent a tape of his work to the producers of Saturday Night Live, earning him a coveted spot on the show’s writing team. Two years later, Jason was in front of the camera as a cast favorite, skyrocketing his career as a beloved comedian and actor. Sudeikis completed his eighth and final season on the legendary show in 2013, cementing his place as a fan favorite with his Presidential impersonations and charming characters.

Jason Sudeikis’s other small screen work includes a multi-episode arc on the comedy Last Man on Earth alongside his fellow SNL alum, Will Forte. He served as Executive Producer with Lorne Michaels on the workplace buddy comedy Detroiters, voiced the lead in the animated comedy, Son of Zorn, and garnered rave reviews as Tina Fey’s love interest in 30 Rock.

He was also seen in Eastbound & Down, Seth MacFarlane’s The Cleveland Show, and guest starred in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia as the forgotten fourth member of Paddy’s gang, Schmitty. Jason voiced the lead role of Red in the Angry Birds animated film series for Sony and lent his voice to the animated Marvel series Hit-Monkey on Hulu in November of 2021.

Taking his talents to the stage in late 2016, Jason Sudeikis led Dead Poets Society at the acclaimed Classic Stage Company Off-Broadway, where he played Robin Williams’ iconic role of Professor John Keating in the film of the same name.

Jason is actively involved with The Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City as well as other charities.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
  • When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
  • Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
  • Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
  • Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms.
