Apple cleans the Emmy Awards with Ted Lasso
In just the second year of its existence, Apple's TV+ became the first streaming service to score an Emmy award in such a short period. Needless to say, the awards went to "Ted Lasso," perhaps the most popular Apple TV+ original, together with "The Morning Show."
Thank you to the Television Academy for these honors and congratulations to all of our storytellers — both behind and in front of the camera — who have worked so tirelessly to bring unique perspectives to global audiences over this past year, delivering hope, light, humor, and compelling stories when we needed it most.
Ted Lasso swept 7 Emmys out of 20 nominations, becoming "the most-nominated series regulars ever for a freshman comedy," says Apple. Talk about semantic contortions to bring fore exclusivity. According to Zack Van Amburg, Apple’s head of Worldwide Video:
While Ted Lasso taught us to believe that anything is possible, we are so genuinely moved that this has culminated in such a historic night for both Apple TV+ and the cast and crew of this special series.
