See every 2021 TIME100 Honoree in One Minute_ by Seth Meyers  Jason Sudeikis Daniel Dorsa—The New York Times/Redux Jason Sudeikis Daniel Dorsa—The New York Times/ReduxDaniel Dorsa—The New York Times/Redux Jason Sudeikis deserves all the accolades this year—not just for his work on [_Ted Lasso_](https://time.com/6081493/ted-lasso-season-2/ "undefined") but also for its timing. In a deeply lonely time, the gang from AFC Richmond showed up to remind us what was waiting on the other side of the pandemic: the joy of connecting with people again. Jason is kind and charming, a good listener and a great hang. He’s the kind of friend who puts together the perfect cocktail of the right people, place and activity. And he has done exactly that with this show. The cast shines, the writing crackles, and it pairs the rhythm of a classic sitcom with the heart of a sports movie. It’s hard to make something this good look so easy. Much has been written about the optimism of _Ted Lasso_, but here’s what impressed me most: there’s a karaoke scene, and Jason doesn’t sing. I mean, my man loves karaoke. Yet he let someone else take the mic. That’s not to say we’re never going to see Jason do karaoke as [Ted](https://time.com/3101022/jason-sudeikis-returns-as-ted-lasso-soccer-coach/ "undefined"). Only that if he does, it will be like everything else we’ve come to expect from him—perfectly timed. _Meyers is the host of_ Late Night With Seth Meyers Jason Sudeikis Is on the 2021 TIME100 List ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2021/6095924/jason-sudeikis/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2021/6095924/jason-sudeikis/"},"headline":"Jason Sudeikis","datePublished":"2021-09-15T11:19:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-07-21T07:22:37.170Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2021/6095924/jason-sudeikis/","keywords":["TIME 100","franchise","T100 2021","T100 2021 Artists"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3e94e2ae6327c062/698a1cade76ad2dfcf63934d/jason-sudeikis-time-100-2021.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3e94e2ae6327c062/698a1cade76ad2dfcf63934d/jason-sudeikis-time-100-2021.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2021/6095924/jason-sudeikis/","name":"Jason Sudeikis"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME100 | See Everyone on the 2021 TIME100 List","description":"See every 2021 TIME100 Honoree in One Minute","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/ZgB6AGK2/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2021-09-15T10:45:00.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ZgB6AGK2.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2021/6095924/jason-sudeikis/","duration":"PT57S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2021/6095924/jason-sudeikis/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
