Brett Goldstein Hilariously Compares 'Ted Lasso' Season 4 To A Cat Coming Back From The Dead

Fans of Ted Lasso were confused when the news dropped that the show would be returning for a fourth season, since it ended with a very satisfying and clean final episode in Season 3.

But fans might be even more confused when they hear what Brett Goldstein, who writes for the show and portrays Roy Kent, thought about the big return.

The comedy drama originally followed the story of Ted Lasso, an American football coach who gets hired to coach an English soccer team, all while the team's owner hopes that his inexperience in the sport and the country will lead the team to its demise.

All of the main beloved characters, including Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Juno Temple, and of course, Brett Goldstein, are set to return, along with the smart, emotional roller coaster that made the show successful.

That all said, while interviewing on The Wild Card opposite Rachel Martin, even Goldstein thought the revival was a little strange.

When Martin broached the subject of the show's return, she addressed the emotional experience Goldstein had already gone through in trying to say goodbye to the show, and the writer and actor admitted that it was a very emotional time.

He then compared the experience of moving through that grief, only for the show to return, to the death of a friend's cat.

"It was a strange [time]. We all cried."

"I have a friend that I went to university with. I think about this a lot."

"He had a cat that died. He loved his cat, and the cat was run over, and they buried the cat."

"They buried it, and he was his child. They buried the cat in the garden. And he lay in bed so sad, so upset and crying, and he prayed, and he prayed, and he wished, 'I wish the cat would come back.'"

"And then the cat did come back."

"It turned out that the cat they buried wasn't their cat."

"I think about that all the time. So then I'm like, 'No wonder this guy's f**ked in the head, because he thinks death isn't real, so of course he's insane. He's such a weird guy, because he thinks that he can bring things back from the dead."

Smiling, Rachel Martin asks:

"Did you bring 'Ted Lasso' back from the dead?"

Goldstein admits:

"I guess I'm saying I feel like that kid, like we, we buried it. Are you saying nothing happened? We all cried. We had a funeral!"

"Are you saying we can bring anything back? It's too much power!"

Some fans found this analogy to be one that Roy Kent would appreciate.

Others were left much more confused than before they watched the interview.

All of this cat talk left a few people thinking about a very different story.

Goldstein was originally hired as one of the writers for Ted Lasso. But while writing and developing the character of Roy Kent, Goldstein became more and more convinced that he saw himself in the role.

He decided to record a few samples of himself reading as Roy Kent, submitted those samples to the team, and asked for the role before casting began.

It's funny to imagine where the show might be now without Roy Kent, or Brett Goldstein's rendition of Roy Kent. One thing is for certain: We wouldn't have a real-life dead cat analogy that feels totally Roy Kent coded.
