Hannah Waddingham Is "Thrilled" TED LASSO Is Back - Says It Feels Like a "Beloved Dog That Was Buried, and Now We've Exhumed It" — GeekTyrant
One star, Hannah Waddingham, who played AFC Richmond football club owner Rebecca Welton, says she is 'thrilled' to be back, and she told Variety at the Smurfs movie premiere over the weekend:
'It feels like it was the most beautiful, beloved dog that was buried, and now we've exhumed it, and I am here for it. I was hankering and hankering and hankering and hankering to see where Rebecca had gone, where she was going to. She's my girl. She's in my bloodstream, so I'm thrilled that it's been exhumed.'
Waddingham, who won an Emmy for her work on the show, added with a big smile, 'I can't wait to get involved with that and put my penneth in and go shopping for her looks.'
Jason Sudeikis, who will return as soccer coach Lasso, said in a statement at the time of the renewal announcement:
'As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to 'look before we leap, In season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it's exactly where they're meant to be.'
Also returning are Brett Goldstein and Brendan Hunt.
Goldstein said during an appearance on Variety 's Awards Circuit in June, 'Obviously, I can't tell you a single thing about it, of course, but we're working on it, and it's good. It's exciting to have everyone back together.'

Will ‘Donkey Kong Bananza' Make Some Much-Needed Switch 2 Noise?
Donkey Kong Bananza Nintendo's Switch 2 has been out in the wild for over a month, and despite the launch feeling decidedly muted, there's no denying the new console's massive early success. Droves of people purchased a Switch 2 in June—complete with nostalgic midnight launches, just like the good ol' days—though from my somewhat calloused perspective, it almost seemed like a kneejerk, Nintendo-loyalty sort of reaction. Less genuine hype and more 'well, it's a fresh Nintendo machine, and this is what we do when that happens.' Pavlovian, but for video games. I'm trying to temper my cynicism, though. Carl Jung said the second half of life was about rediscovering the child you left behind during maturation, and I'm officially in said second half. Perhaps acquiring a Switch 2 could help with such a goal. Consumerism as medicine. Doesn't get much more American than that. I haven't yet played it, but Mario Kart World honestly looks great, and I hear nothing but positive impressions from gamers who own a copy. That said, it doesn't feel like a system-seller, exactly, not in the traditional sense. A solid iteration on the Mario Kart formula, no doubt. Plus, the console it exclusively runs on reads as a similarly safe iteration, too. I'd wager this is by design, because Nintendo knows what it's doing… hopefully.

I'd argue, though, we'll never see something that exciting ever again. The technological jumps are simply too subtle now, and the customers much harder to impress. But yeah, say that to the 3.5 million people who immediately bought a Switch 2 and also probably a Mario Kart World cartridge to go along with it. At least MKW it isn't on one of those dreaded key cards. Despite console sales that undoubtedly won't be slowly down anytime soon, I still view the Switch 2's birthday as a bit, well, underwhelming. This is coming from someone who lived through the Dreamcast's 1999 North American launch, which still to this day, I view as the killer-app/gold standard lineup to beat. Power Stone, Soul Caliber, Sonic Adventure, Hydro Thunder and Blue Stinger. Okay, maybe forget Blue Stinger, but still. Sure, the Switch 2 had plenty of third-party day-one support, boasting the likes of Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy and Street Fighter 6. These excellent titles are nothing to scoff at, but it's no secret that Mario Kart World was perhaps the only truly exciting heavy-hitter, followed maybe by performance upgrades to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. People buy Nintendo consoles for their stellar first-party offerings, and in just a few days on July 17, we're finally getting a second hardware hype-machine: Donkey Kong Bananaza. Donkey Kong Bananza I've loosely followed the news on this upcoming 3D platformer, a previously Switch 1-only title that has jumped platforms and was supposedly in development for almost eight years. It's being made by the talented team behind Super Mario Odyssey, and it looks like an interesting cross between arcade romp Rampage, Xbox 360 Rare-helmed hidden gem Kameo: Elements of Power and classic N64 collect-a-thon Donkey Kong 64 (also created by Rare, strangely enough). Preliminary footage of Donkey Kong Bananza even sports the DK Rap in certain instances. I hope Grant Kirkhope is getting paid. Even though Mario Kart is likely the more recognizable IP, DKB reads as the kind of system-seller I imagined the Switch 2 shipping with. It's vibrant, it has lots of personality and it (better?) shows off what the hardware can do (within reason, as even in present gameplay examples, you can witness some noticeable slowdown). It's very Super Mario World in a way: Inviting, welcoming and maybe less skill-dependent than Mario Kart World. It's also got a mode called DK Artist, which I imagine is Nintendo's idea of an inside joke, because for the love of all that is holy, please give us Mario Paint 2. Donkey Kong Bananza It all could be part of Nintendo's understated plan to trickle out first-party candy in a measured, deliberate way. Not all at once, but bit by bit, gradually saturating the Switch 2's library over the next year or so. We've got Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star Crossed World in late August, then after that, there's Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Kirby Air Riders, all due sometime in 2025. Minus any potential delays, of course. Boasting the Super Mario Odyssey development pedigree, I think Donkey Kong Bananza could be a fun summertime adventure, a game that could make some real noise for the weirdly pedestrian Switch 2. Plus, it might just finally convince me to pick up Nintendo's newest console. Only if I can accept that dependable and predictable aren't dirty words, necessarily.

Sarah Pidgeon—Ryan Murphy's CBK—Has Actually Gone Blonde
It was the camera test that launched a thousand think pieces (not to mention TikToks, Instagram carousels, and a pair of stories on this very website): On June 13, Ryan Murphy's production company shared images from his upcoming American Love Story series, giving the world a first glimpse at Paul Anthony Kelly as John F. Kennedy Jr. and Sarah Pidegon as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. BrosNYC / BACKGRID The internet's reaction was mixed. While some on social media scrutinized the costuming, Bessette-Kennedy's colorist Brad Johns suggested to Vogue that Pidgeon, who is a natural brunette, had been turned a shade of blonde that felt 'too 2024.' In the wake of the backlash, Murphy went on the record with Variety, sharing that a style advisory board had been put in place to make sure the show got everything right (and that Pidgeon's blonde in those shots was, in fact, a wig). Then, last night, almost a month to the day since the test shots were released, Pidgeon appeared at the Los Angeles premiere of her new film, I Know What You Did Last Summer, with a surprise: a new dye job. No Daenerys Targaryen coloring here. In New York City on March the Los Angeles primere of I Know What You Did Last Summer on July colorist Kari Hill has confirmed to Vogue exclusively that this time, it's not a wig. 'Going from dark brown to blonde is always a journey,' Hill says, noting that she used Schwarzkopf Professional products to get the look. 'The transformation took approximately 18 hours in total, spread over two days to ensure the health and integrity of Sarah's hair throughout the process.' (When reached for a statement on the change, Ryan Murphy declined to comment.) Hill describes Pidgeon's new color as 'a soft, natural root that melts into multi-tonal blondes, with buttery, golden highlights and subtle lowlights woven throughout to create a beautifully blended, sunlit effect.' And buttery it is—an important hue in the world of Bessette-Kennedy and Johns, who made butter his signature shade.
