Brett Goldstein reacts to wild fan theory that Ted Lasso was 'heavily inspired' by The Wizard of Oz
Brett Goldstein confirmed that his hit TV series, Ted Lasso, was 'heavily inspired' by The Wizard of Oz after years of speculation.
Some references to The Wizard of Oz, which were caught by eagle-eyed viewers, include the 'tie-dye yellow brick road-esque shirt' that Goldstein wears as well as the title character ( Jason Sudeikis)'s red sneakers ( which are reminiscent of Dorothy's ruby slippers.) Judy Garland pictured alongside Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, and Bert Lahr in costume on the yellow brick road in a scene from the film The Wizard of Oz in 1939 Goldstein, who was one of the writers and executive producers on Ted Lasso, is also one of the creative forces behind the Emmy nominated Shrinking, starring Jason Segal and Harrison Ford.
