Hannah is absolutely fantastic, not many actors could make me hate a character and then in short order not only get me to love her, but cry over her character arc. Ted Lasso is simply a step above most all other shows

Here's the thing. This woman is BRILLIANT. She has a quick wit, ten-cent words for days, and an infectious joie de vivre. Hannah Waddingham FTW!

[elisahinojosa]

She radiates kindness and warmness. I LOVE HER SO MUCH!

[lkleeberg]

I love her ! She is really delightful with her effervescent personality, funny, gorgeous, super talented. Ted lasso is genius. I love that she’s not a size 2 in her 20s but in her forties and a fit statuesque queen. Please more seasons .

[marctyrell]

There is just something about this woman. She draws you in. She is gorgeous, funny and talented. I hope she gets more and more attention over the years cuz she deserves it all plus she has paid her dues

[eduardoarmenta]

She's an explosion of joy. I love her

[luciamiller]

The world needs more Ted Lasso, best series during this pandemic. Had serious withdrawals after season 2. Can’t wait for season 3. Hope it doesn’t end there!

[michellemosqueda]

Even when not playing Rebecca, that woman is truly an ice cream sundae. With several cherries on top! She’s the whole package. And makes me very excited for my 40s!!

[shaju]

I love the way she talks to the audience...theatre pro there. Gorgeous woman, I'm obsessed...

[CBAKER]

Hannah is such a breath of fresh air. Love her!

[mariellas]

Can Rupaul please have a talkshow already? Celebs are so charmed and comfortable with him

[pamelarw]

Hannah is simply gorgeous in every way, beautiful & a genuine person! Definitely an accomplished actor from the 1st scene in Ted Lasso her character draws you in! 💜

[linderama]

Hannah Waddingham… you are one if the most authentic, beautiful souls in the entertainment biz. Thank you for being you. Appreciate you and your bright spirit so much! 💖

[sueb]

My jaw drops every time I see her.. just gorgeously 🔥

[AlerieHightower]

That laugh at 7:08 gave me life. She is so perfect.

[catalhuyuk]

Ru Paul certainly knows how to interview and bring the best out in people. Hannah is a strong leader and amazing in so many ways!

[blackironkatana]

Hannah is plainly just awesome. But also I would love to see RuPaul have his own late night talk show.

[sweeney]

Hannah and Rue are a perfect team! Have them host the Emmys!

[spnjunkie]

What I love so much about her is that she always looks around and includes the audience. And that she’s super talented and gorgeous doesn’t hurt either 😁 Love her and can’t wait for the final season of Ted Lasso. I know I’m gonna cry buckets of tears.

[joshoshea]

I'm English and I can honestly say that Ted Lasso definitely rubbed off on me. I genuinely can't wait for season 3 ❤🇬🇧⚽️
