“Ted Lasso has inspired the world through its universal themes around optimism, kindness, and determination, and the Lasso philosophy to ‘believe,” Apple TV+ said in the announcement of the the meeting.

Sudeikis will be joined at the White House by fellow cast members Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Toheeb Jimoh, Cristo Fernandez, Kola Bokinni, Billy Harris and James Lance.

Biden’s focus has been on training more providers and making care more affordable, the White House said. The administration also pointed to nearly $500 million to help states transition to the 988 suicide and crisis hotline.

The Ted Lasso cast members are the latest entertainment figures to visit the White House to discuss various issues and causes. Others have included Angelina Jolie and K-pop group BTS.

Here is Biden’s Twitter account teasing the Ted Lasso meeting tomorrow.
