Last weekend, Waddingham sang Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s duet “Shallow” from A star is born with no one else but her Lasso leading man Jason Sudeikis at his annual Thundergong! charity event in his hometown of Kansas City, Missouri.
“There’s no one I’d rather sing this song with,” Sudeikis, 48, said before Waddingham walked out to a chorus of cheers from the crowd.

The former co-stars – whose characters started out as wary colleagues but developed a close relationship – shared a few sweet moments together during the song, wrapping their arms around each other at the end and hugging each other before Waddingham left the stage.
Sudeikis then thanked Waddingham as well as his colleagues Saturday night live alum Will Forte, for an appearance at the annual charity event, which raises money for amputees in need.
