Stick sees the comedy legend slip into the role of washed-up former pro golfer Pryce Cahill, whose career ended in disgrace as he lashed out at another player on the course during a televised game.
Parallels between the shows aren't difficult to spot, with both being sports comedies on Apple TV+, featuring troubled-yet-warmhearted protagonists mentoring plucky underdogs.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com about the comparisons, star Wilson said they were a "natural thing" and praised Ted Lasso for the inspiring impact it made across its first three seasons.
Co-star Judy Greer agreed that "we really needed Ted Lasso at that time", referencing the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, with countless locked-down households finding comfort in the optimism of the hit series.
Stick creator Jason Keller also acknowledged some "surface"-level traits in common with Ted Lasso, but asserted his view that they are really "very different shows".
"You can't escape comparison. I love Ted Lasso – I loved it the moment I saw it. And I certainly admire what they did with that show," he said. "It was an inspiration just for me as a human and certainly for me as a writer, for sure."
"And Ted Lasso is a great television show."
The review also praises Wilson's performance, which is affable and amusing, but still capable of going to dramatic, emotional places as the difficult history of Pryce Cahill is unveiled.
