— Here’s the score on “Ted Lasso”: The Apple TV+ series earned 20 nominations for September’s Emmy Awards, including for best comedy and acting nods for star and producer Jason Sudeikis and six of his castmates. If you missed the much-admired freshman season, there’s time to binge on its clever, sweet-natured humor before season two debuts Friday. Medals are the goal for U.S. competitors including Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas, and in new Olympic sports including surfing. But the pandemic-affected games will also be strikingly different, with most events held in near-empty venues under the shadow of COVID-19. The armchair audience can chose from thousands of hours of coverage on NBC Universal platforms including NBC, USA and Peacock through the games’ Aug. 8 conclusion.
