Things are getting hot and heavy for Ted Lasso, the Apple TV+ Original comedy series starring Jason Sudeikis (We’re the Millers) in the titular role. Just premiering its sophomore season on July 23, it’s already abuzz as Diane Sawyer responded to a date proposal from the fictional character Lasso, as reported by Entertainment Weekly. 

Not a conventional way to ask someone out on a date, let alone an award-winning journalist and news anchor, the scene in question has the beloved soccer coach Lasso wistfully dreaming of going on a date with Sawyer. In it, Lasso is asked what he would say to a cocktail, to which he answers, “Oh the same thing I’d say to Diane Sawyer if she asked me out on a date, yes please.” From there, the scene quickly began trending, and Sawyer was quick to answer. Jumping onto Twitter to give a reply to the fictional character, Sawyer wrote: “I’m in. Your Move.”

Two can play at this game, as the official Ted Lasso Twitter account then responded to Sawyer, tweeting: “Oh my…you’ve got me more on my heels than Lady Gaga at the Met Gala. Any chance you like biscuits?” See the full tweet below:
